ReutersYandex granted Nasdaq lifeline subject to Russia restructuring
Russian internet firm Yandex on Thursday said it had been granted permission to retain its Nasdaq Stock Exchange listing provided the restructuring and divestment of its Russian business is concluded by the end of 2023. Often dubbed "Russia's Google", Yandex is making progress on a corporate restructuring plan that should see it divest ownership and control of core, Russia-based businesses, in what could be one of Russia's most significant corporate deals this year. Russian billionaires including Vladimir Potanin, CEO and the largest shareholder of metals giant Nornickel, and Vagit Alekperov, co-founder and a major shareholder in oil major Lukoil, are among the bidders for assets ultimately valued around $14 billion, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters last month.
ReutersYandex receives bids for stakes in Russia-based businesses
Nasdaq-listed Yandex on Thursday said it had received proposals from a number of investors for stakes in its Russia-based businesses, as it progresses a restructuring process that will see the company spin-off some assets. Since Moscow invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Yandex, while not itself under sanctions, has struggled to balance domestic pressure with the interests of its Western investors, and is now divesting its main revenue-generating businesses inside Russia and developing four newer units internationally. Russian billionaires including Vladimir Potanin, CEO and the largest shareholder of metals giant Nornickel, and Vagit Alekperov, co-founder and a major shareholder in oil major Lukoil, are among the bidders for assets ultimately valued at around $14 billion, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters last week.

ReutersRussian billionaires in hunt for stakes in Yandex's local assets - sources
(Reuters) -Nasdaq-listed Yandex, often dubbed "Russia's Google", has received bids from Russian billionaires for assets it is seeking to divest in the country that value them at some $14 billion, three people familiar with the matter told Reuters. Vladimir Potanin, CEO and the largest shareholder of metals giant Nornickel, and Vagit Alekperov, co-founder and a major shareholder of oil major Lukoil, are among the bidders, the sources said. Given Kremlin measures that oblige foreign companies leaving Russia to sell their assets at a 50% discount, Yandex's Dutch-registered holding company Yandex NV - whose shareholders are mostly Western investment funds - could ultimately make some $7 billion from a full divestment, they said.

Russian tech giant Yandex exceeded analysts' expectations on Thursday with a 54% jump in first quarter revenue to 163.3 billion roubles ($2 billion) and a return to profit after posting a net loss in the same period last year.

Alphabet's Google stopped selling online advertising in Russia last March, while keeping some free services available, allowing Yandex to gain market share.

Trucks carrying Coca Cola roll across the border into Russia, tourists return from abroad laden with Zara's latest designs, and local online marketplaces snap up IKEA's furniture stocks. Despite European, North American and Japanese companies exiting Russia over its actions in Ukraine, the impact on Russian consumers is minimal, although delivery times can be longer and some goods more expensive.

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Alexei Kudrin, a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said on Monday he would join technology giant Yandex to advise on corporate development as the company begins a sweeping governance and ownership overhaul. Yandex's Dutch-registered holding company last month said it planned to divest ownership and control of most of Yandex Group, including its main revenue-generating businesses, a move that could lead to enhanced Kremlin influence over some of Russia's backbone internet services.

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian internet giant Yandex on Thursday reported a 46% year-on-year increase in third quarter revenue to 133.2 billion roubles ($2.14 billion) and said it had expanded its dominant share of the domestic search market.
