Rusnano invited the new shareholder of Novomet to replace the head of the company

Rusnano proposed to the Konar industrial group, which became a shareholder in the oil and gas equipment manufacturer Novomet (owned by Rusnano), to replace the general director of the new company. About it TASS said a representative of Rusnano. According to him, the initiative “met with support” from Konar, and the issue will be considered at a meeting of the board of directors today, April 15.

Rusnano claims that the announced proposal is associated with a change in the development strategy of Novomet, as well as special conditions of the transaction for the purchase of a stake in Rusnano by the Konar group. Among other things, the buyer is obliged to redomicile the asset within six months after consolidating a 100% stake, as well as draw up a plan for the development of the enterprise until 2028 and send it to the presidential commission on the strategy for the development of the fuel and energy complex and environmental safety.

As Kommersant reported last week, Novomet has completely changed shareholders. The previous owners – Rusnano, the Baring Vostok and Russia Partners funds, as well as the founders and management of the company – sold their shares to structures close to Novomet CEO Maxim Perelman and the Konar industrial group. According to analysts, the cost of selling the entire Novomet could be 25–30 billion rubles.
