It also arrested Artur Maksidov, CEO of Summa’s construction subsidiary Inteks, on charges of RUB 669 mln embezzlement. On April 2, shares of railway container operator TransContainer, in which FESCO owns 25.07%, fell 0.4%, and shares of Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP), in which Summa and oil pipeline monopoly Transneft own 50.1% on a parity basis, lost 1.61%.

The shares grew 1.67% to RUB 1,220 as of 10:25 a.m., Moscow time, on the Moscow Exchange. Under the proposal, the current shareholders, including company MB Capital Europe Ltd, whose beneficiaries are members of the Mikhailov- Babayev family (co-founders of the group), will sell shares. The precise number of these shares will be defined during book building. Part of the group, company Mikhailovsky, will sell 2.917 mln shares, or an about 6.63% stake.

Potanin agreed to adjust the agreement, including an increase of annual payments to shareholders of Norilsk Nickel from USD 1 bln to USD 1.5 bln, but no more than USD 10 bln over the next five years, while Deripaska wanted dividends raised to USD 2.5 bln a year.

  • "Waves" of the Russia's Presidential Reforms Break About Premier's "Energy-Rocks"
    AFRICA REVIEW EURASIA REVIEW "Waves" of the Russia's Presidential Reforms Break About Premier's "Energy-Rocks" By Dr. Zurab Garakanidze* Story about the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s initiative to change the make-up of the boards of state-owned firms, especially energy companies. In late March of this year, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev demanded that high-ranking officials – namely, deputy prime ministers and cabinet-level ministers that co-ordinate state policy in the same sectors in which those companies are active – step down from their seats on the boards of state-run energy companies by July 1. He also said that October 1 would be the deadline for replacing these civil servants with independent directors. The deadline has now passed, but Medvedev‟s bid to diminish the government‟s influence in the energy sector has run into roadblocks. Most of the high-level government officials who have stepped down are being replaced not by independent managers, but by directors from other state companies in the same sector. Russia‟s state-owned oil and gas companies have not been quick to replace directors who also hold high-ranking government posts, despite or- ders from President Dmitry Medvedev. High-ranking Russian officials have made a show of following President Medvedev‟s order to leave the boards of state-run energy companies, but government influence over the sector remains strong. This indicates that the political will needed for the presidential administration to push eco- nomic reforms forward may be inadequate. 41 www.cesran.org/politicalreflection Political Reflection | September-October-November 2011 Russia's Presidential Reforms | By Dr.

Russian M&A review 2017 3 Overview Although deal activity increased by 13% in 2017, the value of Russian M&A Deal was 12% lower than the previous activity 13% year, at USD66.9 billion, mainly due to an absence of larger deals. This was in particular reflected in the oil and gas sector, which in 2016 was characterised by three large deals with a combined value exceeding USD28 billion. The good news is that investors have adjusted to the realities of sanctions and lower oil prices, and sought opportunities brought by both the economic recovery and governmental efforts to create a new industrial strategy. 2017 saw a significant rise in the number and value of deals outside the Deal more traditional extractive industries value 37% and utility sectors, which have historically driven Russian M&A. Oil and gas sector is excluded If the oil and gas sector is excluded, then the value of deals rose by 37%, from USD35.5 billion in 2016 to USD48.5 billion in 2017.

  • Position and Recommendations of the Board of Directors of PJSC “LUKOIL” on Items on the Agenda of the Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting of PJSC “LUKOIL”
    Position and recommendations of the Board of Directors of PJSC “LUKOIL” on items on the agenda of the Extraordinary General Shareholders Meeting of PJSC “LUKOIL” On item 1 on the agenda of the Meeting: ‘On payment (declaration) of dividends based on the results of the first nine months of 2017’ Position: The current legislation provides for payment of dividends to shareholders of PJSC “LUKOIL” more than once a year. According to the Regulations on the Dividend Policy of PJSC “LUKOIL” (the Regulations), to ensure steady dividend payouts, the Company seeks to pay dividends to its shareholders at least twice a year: based on its results for the first nine months of the reporting year (the “Interim Dividends”), and based on the reporting year results (the “Final Dividends”). The Company’s interim dividend payment practice contributes to increase market value of its securities and attract strategic investors. Under the Regulations, the Company seeks to ensure that the amount of the Interim Dividends is at least 50% of the amount of the Final Dividends paid for the preceding reporting year1. The Board of Directors believes that the recommended interim dividend payment based on the Company’s results for the first nine months of 2017 in the amount of 85 roubles per ordinary share appears optimal, as it: • Complies with all the interim dividend calculation guidelines stipulated by the Regulations; • Reflects the Company’s financial performance in the reporting period and is economically relevant; • Will be welcomed by the investment community; • Allows the Company to maintain an optimum balance of its investment requirements and the competitive level of dividend payments; • Increases steadiness of dividend distribution.

  • Rating Action: Moody's Changes Outlook to Stable on 4 Russian Utility Companies and Their Affiliates Following Russian Outlook Change to Stable; Affirms Ratings
    Rating Action: Moody's changes outlook to stable on 4 Russian utility companies and their affiliates following Russian outlook change to stable; affirms ratings Global Credit Research - 21 Feb 2017 London, 21 February 2017 -- Moody's Investors Service has today changed to stable from negative the outlook on the ratings of (1) Atomenergoprom, JSC (Ba1), (2) Inter RAO, PJSC (Ba1), (3) Transneft, PJSC (Ba1) and its affiliate TransCapitalInvest DAC (Ba1), and (4) FGC UES, JSC (Ba1) and its affiliate Federal Grid Finance Limited (Ba1). Concurrently, Moody's has affirmed these ratings. Today's action follows Moody's affirmation of Russia's Ba1/Not Prime government bond ratings and change of the outlook on these ratings to stable from negative on 17th February 2017. Russia's foreign currency bond country ceiling remains unchanged at Ba1/Not Prime. For additional information, please refer to the related press-release: https://www.moodys.com/research/--PR_361387 A full list of affected ratings is provided towards the end of this press release. RATINGS RATIONALE The change of the outlook on the ratings of four Russian utilities to stable from negative reflects that these ratings are positioned at the same level as Russia's sovereign. Moody's does not currently envision that these ratings could be higher than that of the sovereign. This is underpinned by (1) the companies' strong domestic focus; (2) the companies' ownership by the Russian government; and (3), for Atomenergoprom and FGC UES, the one notch uplift incorporated in their ratings to reflect the likelihood that the Russian government would step in with timely support to avoid a payment default if necessary.
