Nomos Bank said Monday that it would raise at least $718 million from its initial public offering in London and Moscow, making it the biggest by a Russian private issuer in the year to date.
The $35-a-share pricing was just above the middle of an original $32 to $37 range, which was subsequently narrowed during the bookbuilding process. Global Depositary Receipts were priced at $17.50 each.
Nomos managed its IPO, despite committing to invest just 5.5 billion rubles ($194.1 million) back into the bank, with the rest being pocketed by 18.7 percent shareholder Roman Korbacka. Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and VTB Capital acted as joint global coordinators of the offering.

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.
