The Vitebsk Regional Property Committee, in agreement with the Regional Executive Committee, has determined the list of joint-stock companies whose shares owned by the Vitebsk region are offered for sale in 2022.
When preparing the list, the committee proceeded from the following principle – to retain in the region's ownership packages of shares amounting to 50% + 1 share.
Share packages, the size of which is less than the specified volume, are offered for sale to potential investors in the manner prescribed by law at auctions.
Furthermore, it is stipulated that the size of the share packages offered for sale may be changed taking into account specific proposals from investors that are in the interests of the business entities and the Vitebsk region.
Out of the 30 enterprises offered, 21 operate profitably, having finished the past year with a profit, and stably pay dividends.
The highest dividends were paid last year by JSC "Vitebsk Motor Repair Plant", JSC "Evistor Plant", JSC "Stroitelny Trest No. 9 of Vitebsk", JSC "Keramika".
In the past year 2021, investors showed interest in JSC "Keramika" and JSC "Savings Bank "Belarusbank", whose shares were valued and put up for auction, which proved unsuccessful. In the near future, the committee plans to put them up for auction again.
The full list of enterprises can be found on the website of the Regional Executive Committee and the website of the Vitebsk Regional Property Committee (http://www.fondgosim.vitebsk.by/privatization/plan-oao-obl2022.pdf)
It should be noted that shares of 14 enterprises in the Vitebsk region, for example, shares of JSC "Vitebsk Motor Repair Plant", can be exchanged for "Imushchestvo" property vouchers held by citizens.
The Vitebsk Regional Property Committee reminds that the circulation period of the vouchers ends on December 31, 2022.
