AO Raiffeisenbank (Russia) shares are subject to a transfer ban imposed by
a Russian court decision
Vienna, 5 September 2024. A Russian court has today issued a preliminary
injunction, by which shares of AO Raiffeisenbank are subject to a transfer
ban with immediate effect. Raiffeisen Bank International AG (“RBI”) is the
100% shareholder of AO Raiffeisenbank.
The decision is related to the legal proceedings recently initiated by
Rasperia Trading Limited in Russia against STRABAG SE, its Austrian core
shareholders and AO Raiffeisenbank. AO Raiffeisenbank is mentioned in the
claim as related to the other defendants, although not accused of any
wrongdoing. RBI is not a party to these proceedings.
As a result of today’s decision RBI cannot transfer its shares in AO
Raiffeisenbank. This complicates the sales process in which RBI seeks to
sell a controlling stake in AO Raiffeisenbank – and will inevitably lead
to further delays. RBI will attempt to reverse today’s court decision by
all legal means.
