Belarusian businessman Hotsin to buy Kerimov’s Uralkali shares?

Alyaksei Hotsin is going to buy about 33% of Kerimov’s shares, the agency Bloomberg reports. It includes the securities controlled by Suleiman Kerimov Foundation and the shares of two Kerimov’s partners: Philaret Galchev and Anatoli Skurov.

Businessmen Yury and Alyaksei Hotsins (father and son) are well-known Moscow developers. The Hotsins were placed in the 6th position in the section “Kings of Russian real estate - 2013” by Forbes. They gained 1.8 million of square metres costing $400 million last year, Vedomosti reports.

However, they are only looking for financing of the possible deal, ITAR-TASS reports. “There is not enough money at the moment...” the agency’s source stressed.

The group Aneksim belonging to Mikhail Prohorov also suggested to exchange Uralkali shares for RusAl shares and money, Interfax reports.
