This is almost three times more than the amount at which the company’s share in the KHL was estimated in 2013. Then the company tried to sell its share in the KHL under a government directive for 100 million rubles. Igor Demin, an advisor to the president of Transneft and a press secretary of the company, explained to Interfax that the cost changed after the study of an independent appraiser, “which gave such a positive dynamic.”

Transneft was one of the founders of the league. While trying to sell the stake in the spring of 2013, the company received applications from the league itself, from Rosneft and from the Lev team from Prague. But Transneft changed its mind about selling the asset at a loss and declared the tender void. Six months later, in October 2013, the president of the company Nikolai Tokarev explained that at that time the 11.8% stake in KHL no longer cost as much as the company bought it for, the shares fell in price and Transneft could not sell it at a loss. …
The Kontinental Hockey League was established in 2008. It has 27 teams from seven countries – Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, China, Latvia, Slovakia and Finland. Even before the first tender, Igor Demin said that the company has a stake in the KHL, but there is no team of its own that could play in this league. Therefore, both the KHL and other members of the league asked Transneft to sell these shares.
