2) the formation of a register of creditors' claims solely based on claims regarding the payment of penalties (fines, penalties), compensation for losses in the form of lost profits, and other property and (or) financial sanctions by a court decision.
As the creditor's claims are satisfied, the number of his votes decreases by the amount of the satisfied claims.
The effect of the fifth part of this paragraph does not apply when determining the competence and making a decision by the creditors' meeting in the event of consideration of the issue of approving the final report.
