Delo transport group founder Shishkarev closes deal to regain 1% of Delo MC from R-Alliance

MOSCOW. Feb 25 (Interfax) - Sergei Shishkarev, the founder and co-owner of the Delo Transport Group, has closed the deal to regain 1% of Delo Management Company LLC from R-Alliance to increase his stake in Delo MC from 50% to 51%.

"On February 25, I closed the deal and returned my previously owned 1% of the capital of Delo Management Company. As a result, 51% of the shares are mine again," Shishkarev said on Telegram.

"The notary will submit the paperwork for registration with the Unified State Register of Legal Entities today. The deadline for changing the participant list is five business days, until March 4, 2026," Shishkarev said.

On February 20, the Federal Anti-monopoly Service approved Shishkarev's petition to acquire 1% of Delo MC LLC. As a result of the deal to return 1% from R-Alliance.

The FAS now has Shishkarev's petition to acquire Rosatom's 49% stake.

Rosatom previously said that the state corporation was initiating a mutual buyout offer, Russian roulette, within Delo Group amid disagreements with Shishkarev. As part of the process, Shishkarev has 60 days to decide whether to buy out the state corporation's stake or sell Rosatom his own. Shishkarev then has another 120 days to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals.

Shishkarev intends to buy Rosatom out, Kommersant reported on Tuesday, citing a source. "The process is already irreversible. I will buy. Develop and build," Shishkarev said on Telegram later that day, commenting on the report.

At the end of 2024, Transmashholding (TMH) became Shishkarev and Rosatom's partner in Delo Group. As part of the first stage of the deal, the TMH-friendly company R-Alliance bought out 1% in Delo MC from Shishkarev, reducing his stake below the controlling level - from 51% to 50%, while the stake of the Rosatom group's Atomenergoprom remained unchanged at 49%.

One of the deal's scenarios envisaged the state corporation entering the capital of the engineering holding in exchange for a stake in Delo Group. However, at the end of 2025 it emerged that there would be no deal between Rosatom state corporation and TMH regarding a stake in Delo Group, as the parties failed to agree on the asset's price.
