哈萨克斯坦国家原子能公司（АО «НАК «Казатомпром»，简称哈原子能）近日发布公告，公司将以缺席投票方式召开股东特别大会，审议与铀一集团股份公司（Uranium One Group JSC）签订U3O8形式天然铀供货合同这一关联重大交易。此次大会由公司董事会提议召开。
哈原子能在公告中回顾，此前公司曾就这份供货合同发起股东书面表决，股东特别大会审议时因大部分表决股份弃权，未能形成决议。途马此前报道过那次表决的通知和结果。
公告称，公司在对合同作出若干技术性修改后，重新启动了对这项交易的审议。哈原子能表示，修改不涉及交易的实质条款，商业条款及其他条件保持不变，交易参数符合市场条件和当前市场趋势。
哈原子能此前披露，双方已就以实物交付方式销售U3O8形式天然铀浓缩物达成一致：铀一集团在要约有效期内接受了哈原子能的商业要约，此后双方共同商定了合同草案。按照此前披露的安排，产品将交付至俄罗斯西伯利亚化学联合企业。哈原子能称，因保密条款，交易的价格、数量和交付时间表不予披露。
