Basic Element / Strabag
Oleg Deripaska's Firm Basic Element is buying back 17 per cent of the shares it had sold to investors last year during the crisis to finance other projects. In return, Strabag has agreed to buy a 17 per cent stake in Deripaska's road construction firm "Transtoi". Basic Element has the option to buy another 8 per cent of Strabag until july 2014.
Haselsteiner, Strabag's CEO holds via his family holding 29,5 per cent of the company, another third of the shares are held by Raiffeisen Group and Uniqa. 23 per cent of the shares are free float.
With the deal, Strabag hopes to become stronger in the russian construction market, which is recovering after the crisis. Especially the road construction deal seems to be a strategic investment for Strabag. Strabag is planning to be heavily involved in the construction of infrastructure, hotels and residential building in the olympic winter games resort of Sotchi.
