Russian railcar manufacturer United Wagon Company said on Tuesday it had set a price of 700 rubles ($13) a share for its initial public offering, Russia's first stock float in more than a year.
The price, in the middle of the company's 650-750 rubles range, suggests United Wagon Company is on course to raise 3.9 billion rubles ($75 million) by offering at least 14 percent of its shares on the Moscow exchange.
Shares in United Wagon Company, part of the ICT Group headed by Russian billionaire Alexander Nesis, will be traded publicly from April 30, the company said in a statement.
The firm plans to offer 5.6 million additional shares as part of the deal, while the rest will come from its owner, the company said.
Russia's most recent IPO was by budget hypermarket chain Lenta in February last year, weeks before Moscow annexed the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea from Ukraine.
The resulting Western sanctions over Moscow's involvement in Ukraine, and a collapse in global oil prices, have hit the Russian economy hard, with the Central Bank forecasting a contraction of 3.5 percent to 4 percent this year.
Chief Executive Roman Savushkin said United Wagon Company would use the new capital to fund development and increase market share.
"I, along with other members of top management, have decided to participate in the IPO as investors and acquire … shares worth up to 20 million rubles," he added.
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.
