Where and when the article was published. 6 15 this scheme will not allow the winner to exercise full control over the company. In conclusion I can say that I found this article very interesting and very important not only for me, but for everybody in Russia. This situation tells us that Russia is in an economic crisis now and the government wants to earn some money by selling Russian companies to foreign firms in order to stabilize our economy. I think that this approach is erroneous, but what is done cannot be undone. My opinion is that the Russia's government mustn't sell out our companies to foreign bidders even though it hasn't enough money. But the government must do something to make Russia's economy and industry function, if it wants Russia to become the greatest and the wealthiest country in the world the way it was. «Республика Татарстан» 24.03.2001 С журналистами на «ты»… Новая дисциплина «Связь с общественностью» появилась в учебном плане Казанского социально-юридического института.

This report is written by Jeanne Whalen. It was published in "The Moscow Times" on the 3rd of March, 1998. The aim of the report is to provide the reader some information on the tender for Rosneft which will take place in March. A tender is the privatization auction with many sellers and one buyer which can conduct the evaluation for the ware. The author begins with telling the reader that German investment bank "Dresden Kleinwort Benson" has won the right to evaluate the worth of Rosneft before the company is sold in the privatization auction later this year. Sergei Perevizentsev, a spokesman for the Privatization Ministry said that Kleinwort Benson offered to conduct the evaluation for $650.000, underbidding its closest competitor by about $1.000.000 in a tender decided on Saturday. This bank has worked as an adviser for Gasprom and helped arrange $3 billion syndicated loan and a $1.2 billion bridging loan for Rosneft and the bank will bid on Rosneft in alliance with Royal Dutch/Shell and LUKoil. Alexander Agibalov, an oil analyst with Russian brokerage Aton said that this company had a good reputation and to ruin it by giving some information for Gasprom was not in its interest. Then the author writes that there were many other companies competed in the tender, for example: "Robert Fleming Securities", "Deutsche Morgan Grenfell", "Analyze", etc. The author replies that Russia's federal government didn't want any auditor affiliated with a Rosneft bidder to conduct the valuation. In order to do it, the government chose to hire an independent auditor to value the worth of Rosneft and to recommend starting prices. The author reports that once the auditor determines Rosneft worth, it is up to the tender commission, consisting of seven people, to set up starting prices. Then the author tells us that other bidders for Rosneft are an alliance between British Petroleum and Uneximbank's Sidako, Yuksi, the oil company soon to be created in merger between Yukos and Sibneft. Agibalov said that the commission will set the prices higher, if the government sells 75-percent-plus-one-share of Rosneft. The author further says that the format of this tender is more desirable for bidders. He added if the government chooses to sell only 50-percent-plus-one-share of Rosneft, Gasprom and Uneximbank groups will be less interested in bidding because 13 "Kleinwort - это не просто непредвзятая и беспристрастная фирма, но также и международная фирма с известной во всем мире репутацией и я не думаю, что они сделают что-нибудь, порочащее их репутацию",- сказал Алексей Кокин, один из аналитиков MFK-Renaissance. "У этой компании очень хорошая репутация и это не в ее интересах разрушать свою репутацию, предоставляя некоторую информацию Газпрому",- согласился Александр Агибалов, один из нефтяных аналитиков при Russian brokerage Aton. Одна из представительниц Kleinwort Benson в Лондоне заявила, что у нее нет комментариев по поводу победы в тендере. "Robert Fleming Securities","Deutsche Morgan Grenfell" и российские компании: "РосЭко", "Анализ" и инвестиционная фирма "Фондовый Магазин" также принимали участие в тендере. В попытке сделать продажу открытой и справедливой российское федеральное правительство предпочло нанять независимого аудитора, чтобы он оценил стоимость компании "Роснефть" и рекомендовал стартовые цены. Министерство Приватизации подчеркнуло, что никакой контролер, хотя бы отдаленно имеющий связи с потенциальным покупателем Роснефти, не будет иметь разрешения проводить оценку стоимости компании. Как только такой аудитор определит стоимость Роснефти, комиссия тендера установит стартовые цены. Агибалов сказал, что комиссия смогла бы установить стартовые цены выше, если правительство решит продать семьдесят пять процентов и одну акцию Роснефти в инвестиционном тендере, условие которого более подходит для потенциальных участников тендера. Кроме триумвирата "Газпром-Shell-LUKoil", другим участником аукциона по продаже Роснефти является альянс между British Petroleum и компании "Сиданко", принадлежащей банку "ОНЕКСИМ". Третий участник - это нефтяная компания "ЮКСИ", которая вскоре будет образована при слиянии компаний "ЮКОС" и "Сибнефть". В январе Газпром и группа ОНЕКСИМ заявили, что они будут менее заинтересованы в покупке Роснефти, если правительство решит продать только пятьдесят процентов и одну акцию Роснефти на инвестиционном аукционе. Участники тендера сказали, что план, подобный этому, не позволит победителю получить полный контроль над компанией.

Германский инвестиционный банк "Dresden Kleinwort Benson" выиграл право оценить стоимость нефтяной компании "Роснефть", до того как она будет распродана на приватизационном аукционе в этом году. Банк победил трех российских и трех иностранных покупателей в тендере, состоявшемся в субботу. Сергей Перевизенцев, представитель Министерства Приватизации сказал, что Kleinwort Benson оценил стоимость Роснефти в шестьсот пятьдесят тысяч американских долларов, предлагая более низкую цену, чем его ближайший соперник "NatWest Securities" на один миллион американских долларов. "Когда аудитор даст свою оценку стоимости, комиссия тендера должна назначить стартовую цену",- сказал Перевизенцев. Ожидают, что комиссия, состоящая из семи человек, объявит об условиях и сроках приватизации двадцать пятого марта. Kleinwort Benson уже был действующим советником Газпрома, который в альянсе с "Royal Dutch/Shell" и "LUKoil", сделает ставку на Роснефть. В прошлом году банк помог нефтяному гиганту получить синдикатный кредит в размере трех миллиардов американских долларов, а также другого кредита в размере 1,2 миллиарда американских долларов. Один московский аналитик по вопросам нефти заявил, что положение Kleinwort Benson может вызвать конфликт в заинтересованных кругах, но он также добавил, что уверен в том, что банк соответствующим образом воспримет сложившуюся ситуацию. 11 10
