On September 1, the Kazakhstan government-owned company National Managing Holding Co. Baiterek purchased more than 99% of the shares in the former Sberbank subsidiary, changing the entity's name to Bereke Bank Joint Stock Co.
and replacing its board, the report said.
Baiterek's chief executive then sent the US Treasury Department a petition to remove the bank from its sanctions list effective March 6 and the latter decided he former Sberbak subsidiary no longer met the criteria for sanctions after receiving assurances it would not engaged in sanctionable activities and would release proprietary information to the US government when requested, the report added.
