Informed sources of the newspaper said that Sual Partners will complete the deal in November. Now, sources close to different shareholders in UC Rusal, indicate which arose in the process complexity. According to three of them, the period of closing of the transaction is unclear. Another source close to one of the parties to the talks, notes that it “generally may not be.”

Problems arose several, particularly in the summer, when the parties began negotiations on the deal, UC Rusal has risen by almost half, say two companion papers. Summer price “ONEXIM” sell paper is not ready, explain the sources.

Another difficulty is due to the requirements of the Hong Kong stock exchange, according to which the seller and the buyer must confirm that they are not related parties that the sale of only 12%, only 17.5% of the package “ONEKSIM” is not a way to avoid the offer to the other shareholders.
