13 March 2015

Company of Rosneft Group completed the transaction on purchase from SANORS Holding Limited of 100% of shares of JSC “Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company” (SANOR holding). The transaction was completed after obtaining all the necessary approvals from antimonopoly and regulatory authorities.

The synergistic effect of the integration will help to strengthen the vector of petrochemical development and increase the added value of production.

This transaction will allow Rosneft to develop its own line of import substitution as well as meeting growing domestic demand for key polymers and other chemical products, viable commercially in the Russian market regarding their quality and technological characteristics. The integration of the SANORS holding in the perimeter of Rosneft will have a stimulating effect on the economy of the Novokuibyshevsk and Samara region as a whole.

Commenting on the results of transaction’s completion, Igor Sechin said: “Consolidation of the production capacities of Rosneft and SANORS holding will allow creating a unique business asset for the Samara region. As a result of this mutually beneficial business alliance, a new promising player will appear at the Russian petrochemical market.
