Rosneft paid the board members for the first quarter of this year a quarter of 1.5 billion rubles of bonuses, reports "Vedomosti with reference to the report of the state -owned company. This is more than half of the bonuses for the whole of 2016 and a hundred times more than payments for the first quarter of the last year.
As the representative of the state -owned company explained to the publication, the bonuses increased in connection with the implementation of the integrated privatization transaction - the purchase of 50.08 percent of the Bashneft shares and the sale of 19.5 percent of Rosneft itself. As a result, the state received more than trillion rubles. "The deal was carried out in the conditions of an unprecedentedly complex situation and in the shortest possible time," the company representative said.
How many top managers received bonuses and whether the chief executive director of the state company Igor Sechin, the representative of Rosneft, did not say in their number.
In November, Forbes published a rating of the highest paid leaders of the largest companies in Russia. Sechin took second place in it. Forbes estimated his income at $ 13 million, 4.5 million less than a year earlier.
The press secretary of the oil company Mikhail Leontyev then said that Rosneft is skeptical of the rating compiled by Forbes and does not recognize the reliability of the method of evaluating Sechin's income . “According to Forbes, the head of our company is dynamically impoverished, the difference in income in different years differs at times. It completely discredits their methodology,” Leontiev said. “We remind you that the new publisher of the magazine, when he accepted it, hinted that he would not engage in these speculations. But obviously, it is difficult to abandon bad habits.”
Answering the question of whether Rosneft will sue forbes, Leontiev said: "We do not know. There is no particular need, because this is an obvious beliberd. We have already punished them once in court." At the same time, the press secretary emphasized that the company will not publicly disclose Sechin's income. "We disclose only the income that obliges us to the law," said Leontyev.
On January 19, the representative of the state -owned company, Alexander Terentyev, said that the Russian media are conducting a ordered campaign against Rosneft . At the same time, he did not answer questions about who the customer of the campaign and who participates in it. The reason for the statement of Terentyev was the publication of the BBC of Leontyev’s answer to the question about the “milek” by car of Sechin. Leontyev explained that Sechin has the right to a special signal as the responsible secretary of the Presidential Commission on FEC.
"At the same time, the Rosneft spokeswoman accompanied his answer with an emotional commentary." What are you asking? Why, from what the hell? What does this have to do with the company's activities? (...) Do you imagine the amount of serious information and tasks that the company solves? What are you calling? Well, let's write a letter in the BBC: guys, you actually fucked up. Well, stop choosing shit. (...) You know that, go away, I don’t want to answer your question, ”said Leontyev and hung up,” the British broadcasting corporation said . What was replaced by three -parties in the quote was not reported.
