Danish brewer Carlsberg said Tuesday that its ownership of Baltika Breweries had risen about 12 percentage points to 96.77 percent, satisfying the conditions of its buyout offer, which expired on August 9.
Carlsberg said in a statement that it would squeeze out remaining minority shareholders as soon as the administrative steps for the compulsory purchase are in place.
Carlsberg submitted the voluntary offer for the rest of Baltika in May and said last month that the MICEX stock exchange had approved the delisting of Baltika Breweries.

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.
