Former Rosneft head Sergei Bogdanchikov has sold his stake in the company, several sources close to Rosneft said Friday.
Bogdanchikov owned 126,672 shares that he acquired during the Rosneft initial public offering in 2006, according to a company report. Bogdanchikov said at the time that he bought Rosneft shares for about $1 million.
New Rosneft CEO Eduard Khudainatov acquired 300,000 shares of the company Friday, according to a regulatory filing. They are worth 60.5 million rubles ($2 million) based on Friday’s closing price.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
