**Pursuant to 40 ILCS 5/1-110.16, the IIPB was required to include companies identified as expatriated entities in the list of restricted companies by April 1, 2018. Notice has been sent to these companies pursuant to 40 ILCS 5/1-110.16(e)(1) prior to taking final action.

Sudan Restricted Companies

**Pursuant to 40 ILCS 5/1-110.17, the Illinois Investment Policy Board submitted written notification to the General Assembly on September 9, 2021, indicating an intent to cease divestment actions relating to Sudan-restricted companies. As the required statutory one-year notice period has expired, as of October 1, 2022, the Illinois Investment Policy Board has ceased all actions to require divestment, identify restricted companies, or prohibit transactions relating to Sudan-restricted companies. A copy of the letter is available on the IIPB website.
