It’s becoming more difficult for Gazprom to avoid making offers to the minority shareholders of 72 gas distribution organizations, bought from Rosneftegaz. The monopoly has been faced with claims and has now got an order from the Central Bank’s Financial Market Service to make an offer to Norilskgazprom’s shareholders. Its amount may reach 2.3 billion rubles. The order on one of the gas-distribution organizations won’t be a winning argument in the courts, but it gives grounds to the minority shareholders of other companies to demand similar decisions from the Financial Market Service, Kommersant writes.
