PIK, the country's largest housing developer, plans a secondary share placement no earlier than the fall, two banking sources said last week.
The market had widely expected PIK to carry out the SPO in the spring.
"The company had been preparing a report for nine months [of 2010] ... to be ready for the listing in February or March if needed," one of the sources said. "Now the company says that the listing will not take place until autumn." Sources also said the company has no urgent need for the SPO and hopes for better market conditions in the fall.

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.
