VTB is set to start a roadshow in the United States and Europe on Monday for the possible sale of a 10 percent stake, a source familiar with VTB’s plans said.
Pricing is expected on Feb. 14, the source said Friday. VTB is looking to sell a 10 percent state-owned stake via a secondary share placement rather than directly to a TPG-led consortium, as previously planned, sources said last week.
The government is looking to reduce its stake in VTB to 50 percent plus one share over the next three years, from the current 85.5 percent.

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.
