«Сумма» пока не рассматривает вариант продажи своего пакета «ТрансКонтейнера»

According to RBC, Summa Group is not currently considering the option of selling its stake in TransContainer, OJSC (Summa owns 23.7% of the shipping-container operator through the FESCO transportation group). Ziyavudin Magomedov, the chairman of the board of directors of Summa Group, spoke about this with journalists in the corridors of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum.

"We're not currently considering other options," he claimed, responding to a question about whether the company plans to retain its stake in TransContainer. According to Mr. Magomedov, the asset's ultimate fate will be determined after the "contours of the architecture" of the newly emerging United Transport and Logistics Company (UTLC) become clear. "We're just waiting for it all to take on a concrete form," he said. One may recall that Russian Railways, OJSC (RR), the national joint-stock company Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (Kazakhstan Railways), and Belarus Railways (BR) signed an agreement establishing UTLC on June 20, 2013. The Russian contribution to the company's charter capital will be a 50% stake plus two shares in TransContainer, which will be transferred from the ownership of Russian Railways. It was originally assumed that RR's share in TransContainer would be privatized.

The main contenders for the stake in TransContainer were considered to be FESCO (which at the time belonged to the Industrial Investors group), Globaltrans, and Summa. TransContainer, OJSC was registered in March 2006 on the basis of the TransContainer shipping-container dispatch center (a branch of Russian Railways, OJSC, RR), with 13.9 billion rubles in charter capital. TransContainer owns more than 25,000 well cars and more than 60,000 multi-tonnage containers. Russian Railways, OJSC owns 50% plus two shares in TransContainer, OJSC, FESCO group has a 23.7% stake, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development - 9.25%, and the Transfingroup Management Company - the fiduciary manager of the pension reserves of the Blagosostoyanie non-state pension fund - 8.6%. The company's shares are traded on the Moscow stock exchange and its depositary receipts on the London Stock Exchange.
