The owners of VSMPO-Avisma, the world's largest titanium company, will offer to acquire its free float from minority shareholders, business daily Kommersant reported on Monday.
The company's chief executive, Mikhail Voyevodin, was quoted as saying management would offer to buy out VSMPO-Avisma's 10 percent free float for $187 per share in the second half of May. The company's shares last closed at $180.
A VSMPO representative was not immediately available to comment.
The company was bought last year by a joint venture between its management and Gazprombank.

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.
