Dow Jones News
Oleg Kiselev, a shareholder in VimpelCom Ltd. (VIP), sold 28.5%
of the company's preferred shares, or nearly 6% of the company's
charter capital, to Cypriot company Bertofan Investments Ltd. after
signing an agreement on Dec. 30, Russian daily Vedomosti reports
Tuesday.
Kiselev, who is also a founder of Altimo, the telecoms unit of
Russian financial conglomerate Alfa Group and Norwegian
telecommunication company Telenor ASA's (TEL.OS) partner in
VimpelCom, purchased the VimpelCom stake in June, prompting the
dissolution of a shareholder agreement as it took Altimo's
shareholding in VimpelCom below 25%.
Telenor said in November that it has found proof that the
purchase was a "sham transaction" because Altimo had funded the
buyer of those shares.
