Troika Dialog, one of the organizers of a forthcoming initial public offering for PhosAgro, valued the fertilizer producer at $6 billion to $8.6 billion prior to the offering.
Troika Dialog said in its June 15 analytical note that Andrei Guryev, Federation Council member for the Murmansk region, controlled 81 percent of Phos-Agro and Vladimir Litvinenko, rector of the St. Petersburg State Mining Institute, was the second biggest shareholder with 10 percent.
PhosAgro disclosed its shareholders to some extent in a share prospectus in the past. It said Litvinenko had owned preferred shares representing 5 percent of issued shares since 2007.

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.
