At today’s trading on the Belgrade Stock Exchange, more than 10 million shares of the Oil Industry of Serbia changed their owner, the H1 website reported.
In the pre-agreed so-called “block trading”, this share generated a turnover of almost 7.2 billion dinars, which is about 61 million euros.
This amount of shares represents slightly more than six percent of the total number of shares, so if the seller is the Russian co-owner Gazpromneft, its share would be reduced to 50 percent.
Today, 10,035,687 NIS shares were sold in block trading on the Belgrade Stock Exchange for a total of 7,195,587,579 dinars.
The price per share was 717 dinars, which is significantly more than the amount in regular trading, where it was traded at 530 dinars.
Prior to this transaction, Russian Gazpromneft owned a total of 91,565,887 shares, and the Republic of Serbia 48,712,537, according to data from the Central Securities Depository.
The Russian co-owner had 56.2 percent of the ownership, and the state of Serbia had 29.9 percent.
Together it makes 140,278,424 shares out of a total of 163,060,400 existing shares. Today, therefore, exactly 6.15 percent of shares were sold.
If Gazpromneft sold this amount of shares, it is no longer the majority owner, since this transaction would reduce the share of the Russian co-owner to exactly 50 percent, stated H1.
