As regards the USC, blocks of shares in 4 JSCs (only one of them is a controlling block) have been additionally contributed to its authorized capital).
An even more interesting example of the creation of integrated structures was the pooling of state and private assets of the 5 air companies comprising the alliance УAir UnionФ, by way of creating a new air carrier - the OJSC УAirunionФ, third largest in the countryФ. The StateТs contribution will be in the form of its blocks of shares in УThe Krasnoyarsk AirlinesФ (51%), УThe Domodedovo AirlinesФ (50.04%), and in УThe Air Company УSamaraФ (46.5%).
It should be noted that, in contrast to the majority of holding companies created in recent years, the State may not get a controlling block of shares in the structure being formed, and will limit its ambitions to obtaining just 45% of shares, although the final proportions in share-distribution should be determined later on. Such a structure of capital is fraught with a high risk of conflicts between the State and the rest of the shareholders, which became apparent almost immediately, in the beginning of the current year, when the constituent shareholdersТ meeting failed to come to any decision because of the disagreements in estimating the value of the assets being contributed.
In early 2007, the approval of a corresponding draft law opened way to the creation of a new big state-owned company on the basis of assets of the civilian part of the Russian nuclear industry. 100 % of shares in this company will belong to the State. Edict of the RF President, of 27 April 2007, No 556, initiated the creation of a holding company, the OJSC УThe Nuclear Power Engineering ComplexФ (NPEC), with 100% of shares in federal ownership. To be contributed to its authorized capital are federal blocks of shares in 31 previously created OJSCs, and in another 55 OJSCs which should be created after the reorganization of FSUEs, as well as in 3 federal state educational establishments (FSE) in the sphere of additional professional training (or advanced training), related to the organizations of the nuclear power engineering complex. The united integrated company УThe Nuclear Power Engineering ComplexФ (NPEC) will become a big corporation of the full cycle, including the extraction of uranium, the production of fuel for nuclear power plants, the construction of nuclear power plants in Russia and abroad, nuclear machine-building, planning and designing organizations, and research establishments. By the end of 2007, the first stage of creating the OJSC УThe Nuclear Power Engineering ComplexФ had been fully completed in the part of contributing, to the authorized capital of the said company, of the federal shares in 31 JSCs and the property complexes of FSUEs, and the corporatization of 20 FSUEs had also been completed.
In the second half of 2007, the authorities made public the plans for creating as many as 4 holding companies in the sphere of motor-building. The first step in this direction was the announced reorganization of the FSUE У The Moscow Motor-Building Production Plant УSaluteФ, by way of annexing to it another FSUE, УThe Omsk P. I. Baranov Motor-Building CorporationФ; the authorized capital of the reorganized enterprises was additionally increased by the contribution of the federal blocks of shares in 4 JSCs (two blocks of 38% each, and another two of 25.5% each).
RUSSIAN ECONOMY IN trends and outlooks A beginning has been made to the long-expected formation of a holding company for armored vehicles production on the basis of the FSUE УThe F. E. Dzershinsky Industrial Association УUralvagonzavodФ [The Urals car-building plant] (Niznii Tagil, Sverdlovsk Oblast), which is being transformed into a OJSC with 100% of shares in federal ownership. As in the case of УSaluteФ, it is planned to increase its authorized capital by all the shares (minus one) in the JSCs created on the basis of transforming 7 FSUEs, and of the blocks of shares in OJSCs (four of them of more than 50% of shares each). By the end of 2007, the decisions had been made as to the terms of privatization of 6 FSUEs for the purpose of contributing the corresponding JSCsТ to the authorized capital of the OJSC УThe Research and Production Corporation УUralvagonzavodФ, including the creation of the head company of this integrated structure.
In 2007, the formation of several integrated structures was completed - mostly those in respect of which the decisions concerning their creation had been made earlier, namely: the OJSC УThe Concern SozvezdieФ [УConstellationФ]; УThe Concern УAvionicsФ (whose authorized capital was formed by shares in 6 JSCs previously created by way of privatizing corresponding unitary enterprises); УZarubezhneftФ (foreign oil) (whose authorized capital was formed by shares in 2 JSCs); УThe State Joint - Stock Company УObronpromkomplexФ (defense - industrial complex) (whose authorized capital was formed by shares in 9 JSCs); and УThe Concern УGranite - ElectronФ (whose authorized capital was formed by shares in JSCs).
Apart from this, the formation of a number of integrated structures, in regard of which the decisions concerning their creation had been made earlier, was going on unabated. The said structures are as follows: УThe Corporation УRoskhimzashchitaФ (Russian gas defense) (FSUE was transformed into a corporation); and УThe Russian Corporation of Aero-Space Instrument Making and Information SystemsФ (the decisions were made as to the terms of privatizing all the 7 FSUEs earmarked for the consequent contribution of shares in the newly created JSCs to the authorized capital of the corporation).
The authorized capital of the OJSC УThe Corporation СTactical Missile ArmamentТФ has been augmented by the federal blocks of shares in 11 JSCs, and yet another 4 FSUEs are being transformed into joint-stock companies. The authorized capital of the OJSC УThe AntiAircraft -Defense Concern УAlmaz - AnteiФ ties up shares in all the 4 FSUEs earmarked for joining the corporation. In the end of 2007, the decision was made that the additional issue of shares in this company should be repaid with the federal blocks of shares in yet another OJSCs.
The first stage of development of the OJSC УMorinformsistema - AgateФ (the naval information system УAgateФ) was brought to conclusion. The federal blocks of shares in 3 JSCs were contributed to its authorized capital, and the decisions were taken as to the terms of privatization of all the three FSUEs to be integrated within its framework. Blocks of shares in another 4 JSCs, created earlier by way of privatizing the corresponding unitary enterprises were contributed to the authorized capital of the OJSC УThe Concern УMorinformsistema - AgateФ in pursuance of the decisions made earlier. Similarly, the authorized capital of the OJSC УThe Concern УSubmarine Armament - GidropriborФ (hydraulic instruments) tied up the federal blocks of shares in 2 JSCs, earmarked for this purpose, and the decision was made as to the terms of privatization of 1 FSUE. The extension of the two latter structures, as well Section Institutional Problems as that of УThe Concern УGranite - ElectronФ, should be considered within the framework of the afore-mentioned measures concerning the integration of the shipbuilding industry.
Apart from this, so far as the creation of integrated structures is concerned, one could note the adoption of decisions on the terms of privatizing 4 FSUEs for the purpose of the subsequent contribution of shares in the corresponding joint-stock companies to the authorized capital of the OJSC УThe Academician V. P. Makeev State Missile CenterФ, and the corporatization of the FSUE УThe Kumertau Aircraft Production EnterpriseФ (Bashkortostan) for the purpose of the subsequent contribution of its shares to the authorized capital of the OJSC УThe United Industrial Corporation УOboronpromФ (defense industry), a holding company engaged in consolidating Russian helicopter construction.
The trend toward active property expansion on the part of natural monopolies (УGazpromФ and the RJSC УThe UES of RussiaФ), which had been on the rise over the previous two years, manifested itself yet again in the RZhDТs intention to obtain the blocking parcels of shares in the ports of Ust-Luga and Novorossiisk, which was made public in early 2007. As regards the former, the case in point is the potential purchase of 16.5% of shares in addition to the existing 8.5%; as regards the latter, the privately owned 16% of shares in the port of Novorossiisk were already transferred into trust management to the RZhD in February 2007.
Talks are under way with regard to purchasing shares in the ports of Vladivostok and Nakhodka20. Similar conclusions can be made concerning the information on the reorganization of УTransmashholdingФ (the Transport Machinery Holding Company - TMHC) to be accompanied by the consolidation of the assets controlled by the holding companies and listed with its fixed assets. A blocking parcel of shares in the TMHC could be also sold to the RZhD. It should be recalled that the TMHC is the biggest Russian company in the sphere of railroad machine - building, which comprises such enterprises as УMetrovagonmashФ and УThe Kolomna PlantФ (Moscow Oblast), УThe October Electric-Car Repair PlantФ, УPenzadieselmashФ (the Penza Diesel Engine-Building Plant), the Briansk MachineЦBuilding Plant, and УBezhitsa SteelФ (Briansk Oblast)21. In the past year, the authorized capital of the RZhD was increased by blocks of shares in 4 joint-stock companies, including the OJSC УYakutiaТs RailroadsФ (50% of shares), УTranskreditbankФ (75%), УSpeedwaysФ (87.4%) and УThe Newspaper СGudokТФ (100% minus 1 share).
The holding company УRusspetsstalФ [УRussian Special SteelФ], controlled by УRosoboroneksportФ and oriented to production of special sorts of steel, is in the process of organization. It comprises the metallurgical plant УThe Red OctoberФ (Volgograd), and the Stupino Metallurgical Company (Moscow Oblast). On the agenda is the purchase of a controlling parcel of shares in the enterprise УRuspolimetФ (Nizhnii Novgorod Oblast), and there was information as to the plans to acquire shares in such giants of ferrous metallurgy as the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Integrated Works and УMechelФ.
УRosneftФ was the major buyer of УYukosФТ numerous assets, which were put on sale in the course of bankruptcy proceedings. Although УGazpromФ was much less active in this respect, the gas monopoly did buy from the company TNK-BP 62.8% of shares in the company УRUSIA PetroleumФ, a licensee of the potentially lucrative Kovyktino gas field and the holder of 50% of shares in the East-Siberian Gas Company (ESGK), engaged in the regional gasifica Dagaeva, A.

RUSSIAN ECONOMY IN trends and outlooks tion project for Irkutsk Oblast. Also, УGazpromФ participated in the redemption of additional issues of shares (for example, in УMosenergoФ) and in the acquisition of blocks of shares in energy companies in the course of reform of electric-power engineering industry, and made it clear that it was going to make investments in the coal industry (when implementing a number of projects in cooperation with the Siberian Coal Power-Engineering Company (SCPEC). It should also be mentioned that УRosneftegazФ (created at the end of 2004 by way of tying-up, in its authorized capital, shares in УRosneftФ for the purpose of effecting a transaction aimed at increasing the state-owned block of shares in УGazprom to a controlling size) is going to carry out an additional issue of shares, which would be paid for by the State with 90.6% of shares in УKamchatgazpromФ.
Very important not only for the state sector, but also for the Russian economy as a whole was the completion of setting up the contour of the new structure of the powergenerating industry within the framework of reforming the RJSC УThe UES of RussiaФ.
It should be recalled that the process of transforming the regional JSCs-energo - the subsidiary companies of the energy monopoly, started as early as 2003 with the implementation of several pilot projects, including the reforming of the OJSC УKalugaenergoФ, the OJSC УOrelenergoФ, the OJSC УBrianskenergoФ, and the OJSC УTulenergoФ. Most actively, the structural changes were carried out in the year 2004. The process of reforming involved more than 30 companies. By April 2004, the procedure of reorganizing the first regional energy company, the OJSC УKalugaenergoФ, had been completed, and by the end of that year 5 JSCsenergo had been subdivided by type of activity.
Also in 2004, new interregional companies began to be formed. In the final months of that year, the first 3 OGKs and 2 TGKs were created (received State registration). In October 2004, the board of directors of the RJSC УThe UES of RussiaФ made the decision to establish 4 interregional power-distributing grid companies (MRSK). Also in that year, a new vertical of on-line supervisory control was practically set into place: the functions of regional supervisory departments were transferred (with some exceptions) from JSCs-energo to the SystemТs Operator.
In 2005, the process of reforming embraced the majority of JSCs-energo, and many of them were split by the end of the year. Also in 2005, the majority of the remaining interregional companies were constituted: by March, the last of 7 wholesale power-generating companies (OGK) had been registered, and by August - 13 out of 14 territorial power - generating companies (TGK) had been entered into the register. And finally, 4 MRSK were created in that same year.
