General License 15E, which replaces General License 15D, authorizes certain activities necessary to the maintenance or wind-down of operations or existing contracts with GAZ Group. All transactions and activities prohibited by the Ukraine-Related Sanctions Regulations that are necessary to the maintenance or wind-down of operations, contracts or other agreements concerning GAZ Group or any other entity in which GAZ Group owns, directly or indirectly, a 50 percent or greater interest and that were in effect prior to April 6, 2018 are permitted through July 6, 2019.
