Polymetal International shareholders Alexander Nesis and Alexander Mamut acquired a Peruvian broadband Internet service provider.
Mamut's investment vehicle A&NN and the Nesis-led ICT Group acquired 88 percent of Lima-based Yota Del Peru, Igor Litvak, director of investments at ICT, said Thursday.
The new owners will invest more than $100 million to obtain 300,000 subscribers by 2015, according to an e-mailed statement that didn't disclose the deal's terms. ICT Group owns broadband Internet providers in Italy and Bangladesh, Litvak said.

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.
