Judge of the Arbitration Court of Belgorod Region Vitaly Kireev has ordered Vladimir Zotov, the principal owner of Belgorod agroholding Agro-Belogorie, to transfer a 25% stake in favor of Rusagro for ₽2,500. Previously, Vladimir Zotov contributed 25% of Agro-Belogorie as a gratuitous contribution to the company's property, Russian Metal, contrary to Rusagro's pre-emptive right to purchase this stake. Businessman believes that making a contribution does not constitute a sale of a share and therefore no pre-emptive right arises.
