The benchmark yield of the new issue roughly corresponds to the levels at which you can buy short bonds Sistema with an offer in October this year (yield to the offer on them is about 10.15%), says Yakovlev. "Most likely, the paper will find its demand - in the medium term, bond yields may decrease if the company successfully fulfills the terms of the amicable agreement and the history with claims of Rosneft will remain in the past," the analyst thinks.
In December, the Arbitration Court of Bashkortostan approved the settlement agreement between Rosneft, Bashneft and the government of Bashkiria with AFK Sistema and its subsidiary Sistema Invest.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Sistema has already paid Bashneft 20 billion rubles. Another 40 billion rubles. The company should transfer Bashneft until February 28. For these purposes, a short-term loan to Sistema will be issued by the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RFPI), the shares of the retailer Detsky Mir and BESK will act as a pledge, the general director of the RFPI, Kirill Dmitriev, said in December. The remaining 40 billion rubles. "Sistema" is due to be paid by March 30, 2018. The company uses a loan from Sberbank on the security of assets, the arrest of which will be withdrawn.
Under the condition of a recent trial with Rosneft, this bond issue is unlikely to be fully marketable, since the opening of limits on Sistema will take some time, Dmitry Potolenko, portfolio manager of Capital, believes: " Most likely, the company has already found an anchor investor" .
