Minority Shareholders Reappraise SUAL in London
SUAL's minority shareholders are interfering in the company's deal with "Russian Aluminum" and Glencore: a second shareholder in the company is disputing the value of the company's shares. If the conflict leads to the collapse of the IPO of Rusal, Oleg Deripaska may buy a share in the company owned by Victor Vekselberg and his partners for a 15% discount.
According to Fininvest Consulting general director Andrey Eremin, who represents the interests of the owners of 0.7% of the shares in SUAL, the company's lawyers intend to go to court in a dispute over the value of the shares. Alu Process Holding Ltd., which owns 96.3% of SUAL's shares, had tried to purchase the remaining shares for $1.10 each. But according to Mr. Eremin, given the value of the deal with Rusal, in which SUAL is valued at $5.5-6.6 billion, the shares should be worth at least 6.5 times more. The suit will go to court in London in the next ten days; the defendant named in the suit is Deloitte & Touche, the firm that valued SUAL's shares. A second suit involving SUAL and Alu Process is currently being decided in the arbitration court of Russia's Sverlodvsk oblast.
