The eighth arbitration appeal court in Omsk upheld the ruling of the arbitration court of the Tyumen region that dismissed Andrei Prokhorov's claim against TNK-BP Holding board members Peter Anthony Charow and Richard Sloan, BP Russia Investment said in a statement Thursday.
Prokhorov, who owns 0.0000106 percent of shares of TNK-BP Holding, filed two lawsuits on August 9, 2011, against BP Russian Investment, BP and board members of TNK-BP Holding.
Prokhorov sought to recover 496 billion rubles ($16 billion) in lost profits to TNK-BP allegedly incurred by the company due to nonparticipation in the potential Arctic deal with Rosneft.

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.
