An Overview of Boards of Directors at Russia's Largest Public Companies
An Overview Of Boards Of Directors At Russia’s Largest Public Companies Andrei Rakitin Milena Barsukova Arina Mazunova Translated from Russian August 2020 Key Results According to information disclosed by 109 of Russia’s largest public companies: “Classic” board compositions of 11, nine, and seven seats prevail The total number of persons on Boards of the companies under study is not as low as it might seem: 89% of all Directors were elected to only one such Board Female Directors account for 12% and are more often elected to the audit, nomination, and remuneration committees than to the strategy committee Among Directors, there are more “humanitarians” than “techies,” while the share of “techies” among chairs is greater than across the whole sample The average age for Directors is 53, 56 for Chairmen, and 58 for Independent Directors Generation X is the most visible on Boards, and Generation Y Directors will likely quickly increase their presence if the impetuous development of digital technologies continues The share of Independent Directors barely reaches 30%, and there is an obvious lack of independence on key committees such as audit Senior Independent Directors were elected at 17% of the companies, while 89% of Chairs are not independent The average total remuneration paid to the Board of Directors is RUR 69 million, with the difference between the maximum and minimum being 18 times Twenty-four percent of the companies disclosed information on individual payments made to their Directors. According to this, the average total remuneration is approximately RUR 9 million per annum for a Director, RUR 17 million for a Chair, and RUR 11 million for an Independent Director The comparison of 2020 findings with results of a similar study published in 2012 paints an interesting dynamic picture.

Global Expansion of Russian Multinationals After the Crisis: Results of 2011
Global Expansion of Russian Multinationals after the Crisis: Results of 2011 Report dated April 16, 2013 Moscow and New York, April 16, 2013 The Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, and the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment (VCC), a joint center of Columbia Law School and the Earth Institute at Columbia University in New York, are releasing the results of their third survey of Russian multinationals today.1 The survey, conducted from November 2012 to February 2013, is part of a long-term study of the global expansion of emerging market non-financial multinational enterprises (MNEs).2 The present report covers the period 2009-2011. Highlights Russia is one of the leading emerging markets in terms of outward foreign direct investments (FDI). Such a position is supported not by several multinational giants but by dozens of Russian MNEs in various industries. Foreign assets of the top 20 Russian non-financial MNEs grew every year covered by this report and reached US$ 111 billion at the end of 2011 (Table 1). Large Russian exporters usually use FDI in support of their foreign activities. As a result, oil and gas and steel companies with considerable exports are among the leading Russian MNEs. However, representatives of other industries also have significant foreign assets. Many companies remained “regional” MNEs. As a result, more than 66% of the ranked companies’ foreign assets were in Europe and Central Asia, with 28% in former republics of the Soviet Union (Annex table 2). Due to the popularity of off-shore jurisdictions to Russian MNEs, some Caribbean islands and Cyprus attracted many Russian subsidiaries with low levels of foreign assets.

The Year An Interview with Chairman Electrification in Pictures: of Completed Ins of the State Duma’s Committee some facts from the history and Expected Outs for Energy Ivan GRACHEV of energy posters 14 20 32 Magazine about Russia’s Power Industry ENERGY WITHOUT BORDERS № 6 (31) December 2014 – January 2015 Happy Payments! The industry is anticipating tougher measures against non- payers in the retail electricity market IN RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH peretok.ru ENERGETICS IN RUSSIA AND IN THE WORLD peretok.ru NETWORKED! Dear readers, he end of the year is the time to sum up results. One of the un- solved problems of the year of 2014 is the outstanding debt for power supply. As of November 1, the amount owed to guaranteed supply companies in Russia reached 165 billion rubles. At the same time, the guaranteed supply companies have to pay on the wholesale market just in time and are forced to arrange loans to fulfill their obligations. Consumers’ poor payment discipline caus- es payment problems along the entire chain, undermining power companies’ financial stability, while the situation with non-pay- ments adversely affects the industry as a whole. Today, power supply companies do everything possible to get their money from consumers, including sending notices, cutting off electricity supply, filing lawsuits, and, jointly with court bai- liffs, prohibiting debtors from travelling abroad. It is clear that power supply companies will not be able to address this problem independently; this will require a systematic approach at the highest Tlevel. The State Duma is now developing a whole series of amendments to legislation aimed at tightening payment discipline on the retail market.

The Russian State and Russian Energy Companies in the Post-Soviet Region, 1992–2012
Mutually supportive? The Russian State and Russian Energy Companies in the Post-Soviet Region, 1992–2012 By Ingerid Maria Opdahl A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Russian, European and Eurasian Studies Department of Political Science and International Studies School of Government and Society College of Social Sciences University of Birmingham May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

Abstract This thesis investigates relations between five Russian energy companies – RAO UES/Inter RAO (electricity), Minatom/Rosatom (nuclear energy), Lukoil (oil), Transneft (oil pipelines) and Gazprom (gas) – and the Russian state from 1992 to 2012, with particular regard to state–company interaction over Russian foreign policy and companies’ activities in the post-Soviet region. The argument is that, due to the institutional legacies of the Soviet system, state–company interaction over foreign policy and energy operations abroad was part of their interaction over the Russian state’s institutional development. The study is based on the conceptual framework of social orders developed by North, Wallis and Weingast (NWW).
