History

In February 2007, SUEK and Gazprom agreed to establish a joint company on the basis of their electricity and coal assets. The shares of new company would have been divided on the basis of 50% plus 1 share to Gazprom and 50% minus 1 share to SUEK. However, that deal was abandoned.[1]

In June 2010, SUEK obtained regulatory approval to list up to 25% of its shares abroad. However, in August 2010 this was postponed at least a year.[2]

In December 2010, the Federal Antimonopoly Service determined collusion by SUEK and two other coal producers. These accusations were denied by SUEK.[3]

Operations

SUEK provides about 31% of coal in the Russian market and about 25% of Russian coal exports.[4] It develops Kharanor, East, and Tugnuyskogo deposits of coal, and has a license for the development of Nicholas deposit. In 2007, SUEK produced 90.9 million tons of coal.[5] In addition to the coal mines, SUEK is a shareholder of several Siberian and Far-Eastern power companies, most prominently in Kuzbassenergo (TGK-12) and Yenisei TGK (TGK-13).[5]

Owners

The chairman of the board of directors is Alexander Landia and the CEO is Vladimir Rashevsky, a minor shareholder of the company. 99% of SUEK shares are owned by Donalink Ltd, a Cyprus-registered company controlled by Andrey Melnichenko and Sergei Popov.[5]
