SFI shares rose 16% amid reports of a mysterious deal

SFI shares rose by 15.82%, taking the first place in terms of trading volume on the Moscow Exchange. Reason for the increase in quotations could be the company's announcement of a meeting of the board of directors to determine the position on voting issues at shareholders' meetings of subsidiaries and approve interested-party transactions. Analysts suggest that the reaction to the board meeting is related to expectations that SFI may sell some of the businesses following the example of Europlan.
