Sistema invested a total of RUB 1.83 billion in the acquisition of OBL Pharm, giving Sistema an effective stake in OBL Pharm of 13%.The investment consortium – consisting of Sistema, VTB and members of the OBL Pharm management team – collectively acquired 95.14% of OBL Pharm for a total investment of RUB 15.5 billion. The partners made their investments through a joint holding company, Ristango Holding Limited, and have signed a shareholder agreement securing rights of all of the investors to participate in management of the business. Sistema and VTB have also signed an agreement whereby Sistema will acquire VTB’s stake in Ristango Holding Limited within three years of the initial transaction. The Russian Direct Investment Fund (“RDIF”) and its co-investors have reached an agreement with Sistema to consider participating in the transaction in early 2019 following additional study of the transaction terms and approval of the transaction terms by an RDIF-led consortium of investors. The transaction aims to create a leading Russian pharmaceuticals group following the merger of OBL Pharm with JSC Binnopharm (“Binnopharm”), a Sistema portfolio company.

Andrey Dubovskov, Sistema President and CEO, said: “The acquisition of a stake in OBL Pharm creates a unique opportunity for Sistema and its partners to establish a leading player in Russia’s growing pharmaceuticals market by leveraging synergies with our portfolio company Binnopharm through joint use of production capacities, marketing and sales networks, and R&D capabilities. Binnopharm is a full-cycle biopharmaceutical company with its own in-house R&D division and modern production facilities. OBL Pharm is a fast-growing company that has an experienced management team and a well-developed portfolio of branded products. The companies also have complementary business models and assets, which creates further opportunities for a significant increase in the shareholder value of our pharmaceuticals business.” Yuri Soloviev, First Deputy President and Chairman of VTB Bank Management Board, said: “As one of the leading companies in the highly prospective Russian pharmaceutical market, OBL Pharm has a strong track record in increasing its business operations and is pursuing ambitious development plans.
