The court in the United States is trying to establish who has settled on an Inside about the Wimm-Bill-Dann deal with Pepsico

The American court ordered the acquirers of American depository receipts of the Russian company "VIMM-Bill-Dann food products" who bought them before the announcement of the transaction with Pepsico, to provide information about themselves as soon as possible. This is stated in the court ruling, which is cited by RAPSI .

According to court documents, not one of the defendants in the lawsuit of the US Securities and Exchange Commission - the "unknown acquirers" of the BBD securities - did not make itself felt on December 16 and did not transfer any information to the court.

The lawsuit was filed on the basis that the acquisition on the eve of the announcement of the purchase of US Pepsico TBD for $ 5.8 billion was "extremely profitable and suspicious."

Unknown bought 400 thousand ADR TBD from November 29 to December 1, 2010, presumably owning insider information about the prepaid transaction to buy a Russian manufacturer of juices and dairy products.

After the announcement of the transaction on December 2, 2010, the ADR CFD quotes on the New York Stock Exchange flew by 28%. As a result, unknown people who bought ADR could earn about $ 2.7 million in their transactions.

The Federal Court of the Southern District of New York established the jurisdiction of this trial, obliging the Adr buyers within two days from the date of receipt of the appropriate notification to provide information about themselves, including the addresses of the residence and registration of companies, contact details, as well as indicate their nationality and list accounts in financial institutions and brokerage firms opened on them or in their interests after November 29.

The defendants, as well as to persons, one way or another with them affiliated, are prohibited by the court to take any actions with these assets.
