An unknown company bought 24.6% of the company's shares at auction

Voronezh Regional Duma deputy Sergei Poimanov lost his 24.6% stake in Pavlovskgranit OJSC. The stake belonging to the businessman was sold at auction for 516 million rubles. – as part of the recovery of 4.6 billion rubles from Mr. Poimanov. debt to Sberbank Capital. The buyer of the shares was Trade LLC, owned by an individual. Taking into account the fact that Sberbank Capital itself had already collected 36.7% of the shares of Pavlovskgranit, it can be stated that Mr. Poimanov is losing control over the enterprise. However, the businessman, who calls the situation a “raider takeover,” still has a chance to return both packages through the courts.

Sergei Poimanov was the guarantor for a loan of 5.1 billion rubles, which the management company Pavlovskgranit-invest took out in 2008 from Sberbank. In the winter of 2010, the loan was recognized as problematic (the borrower was late), after which the bank transferred the rights of claim to Pavlovskgranit to its subsidiary, Sberbank Capital. In addition to collecting the debt through arbitration, the Sberbank structure filed a claim with the Odintsovo City Court - personally against Mr. Poymanov. In January 2011, the court satisfied the claims of Sberbank Capital against the businessman in the amount of 4.6 billion rubles. The entrepreneur tried to appeal the decision for a year and reached the Supreme Court, which, having accepted the supervisory complaint for consideration, suspended enforcement proceedings to collect the debt on December 8. However, on December 29, Mr. Poimanov was refused to transfer the supervisory complaint for consideration to the judicial panel of the Supreme Court. At the same time, enforcement proceedings were resumed.

And already on December 30, Rosgosimushchestvo, represented by LLC Investment Company Task Quadro Securities, held an auction for the sale of 24.6% of the shares of Pavlovskgranit owned by Sergei Poimanov. The auction organizer did not respond to Kommersant’s request by the end of the day. A source familiar with the results of the tender said that two companies took part in it: Sberbank Capital itself and Trade LLC. The second participant eventually became the winner of the auction, offering 516.17 million rubles for the package. (the starting price of the lot was 496.17 million). On December 30, a share purchase and sale agreement was concluded with the company, and on the same day Finam Bank confirmed the transfer of payment for the lot. It was not possible to find out yesterday whether the registrar company “Status” had already written off the shares from Mr. Poimanov’s account. The owner of Trade LLC (authorized capital - 100 thousand rubles, registered in Moscow), as of the end of 2011, was Nikolai Kozlov.

In addition, on December 29, 100% of the management company Pavlovskgranit-invest was also sold at auction for 800 thousand rubles. The buyer was Anastasia Kamaeva.

People around Sergei Poimanov emphasized yesterday that the buyers of the shares are not associated with the businessman. Kommersant's interlocutor explained that Mr. Poimanov did not take part in the auction due to the large amount of the deposit, which amounted to 250 million rubles. “For some unknown reason, we were not allowed to auction for Pavlovskgranit-invest. The same was expected at the auction for the mining and processing complex. Then we would simply lose the deposit,” explained Kommersant’s interlocutor.

The businessman himself regards the situation as a targeted raider takeover of Pavlovskgranit and intends to appeal the sale of shares in court. Mr. Poimanov’s lawyers emphasize that in addition to the businessman himself, the decision of the Odintsovo District Court was also challenged by his wife Irina, and her complaint is still being considered by the Moscow Regional Court. “This leaves a good chance for the auction to be recognized as illegitimate,” people around Mr. Poimanov believe.

Nevertheless, for now the businessman is losing control over Pavlovskgranit. Earlier, Sberbank Capital wrote off 36.37% of the company’s shares in its favor from the account of Vitera LLC, one of Mr. Poymanov’s structures. Thus, more than 60% of the shares of Pavlovskgranit are already taken away from the businessman. However, it is worth noting that in the court of first instance, Mr. Poymanov’s structures managed to challenge the write-off of 25% of the 36.37% shares of the enterprise from the Vitera account. In addition, the businessman remains under the control of a 29.4% stake, which is registered with the company Zinica Limited (shares were arrested as part of arbitration proceedings).
