The mobile operator OJSC Cellular Communications of Bashkortostan (SSB, operating under the Sotel brand, a subsidiary of OJSC Bashinformsvyaz) by the end of the year may enter the joint venture of Rostelecom and Tele2 Russia - T2 RTK Holding LLC ( former T2 Rus Holding). The joint venture's request to join the operator was approved by the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation last Friday. Rostelecom says that before completion, the deal must undergo a number of internal corporate approvals, in particular, because the republic controls the blocking stake of the parent company Sotela. Kommersant's interlocutors believe that during the preparation of the merger, Rostelecom will try to accumulate the entire stake of Bashinformsvyaz.


Last Friday, the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia approved the application of T2 Rus Holding LLC (a joint venture of Rostelecom and Tele2 Russia) to acquire 100% of the shares of OJSC Cellular Communications of Bashkortostan. 100% of the shares of the mobile operator operating in the CDMA format belong to OJSC Bashinformsvyaz. Rostelecom owns a controlling stake in the parent company SSB (68.18% of the authorized capital, or 70.78% of shares). Another 17.84% of the authorized capital of Bashinformsvyaz, according to SPARK-Interfax, is owned by the republic.

The press service of Rostelecom explained to Kommersant that the approval of the FAS was a preparatory stage of the transaction. The final decision on the transfer of the SSB to the joint venture must be made by the board of directors of Bashinformsvyaz. The date of the council has not been announced. The management of Bashinformsvyaz refused to officially comment on this topic yesterday. An interlocutor at the company said that the next meeting of the board of directors is scheduled for April, ahead of the annual general meeting of shareholders. However, his agenda has not yet been approved, he said. The press service of Tele2 Russia refrained from commenting.

Rostelecom and Tele2 announced the creation of a joint venture and plans to create a new federal cellular operator in February this year. Rostelecom plans to contribute its mobile assets to the authorized capital. Some of them have already been transferred: Sky Link, Nizhny Novgorod Cellular Communications, Baikalwestcom, BIT, Volgograd GSM, Yeniseitelecom and AKOS. According to the Tele2 press service, the new operator will provide communication services under the Tele2 brand to 38 million subscribers in 60 regions of Russia. The final consolidation of assets was planned to be completed by the end of the year. Based on the results, Rostelecom planned to receive 26% of the authorized capital and 45% of votes in the joint venture, Tele2 - the remaining share. It was planned to conclude MVNO agreements between the participants of the joint venture (a virtual cellular operator that uses the existing infrastructure of another operator, but sells services under its own brand), licensing agreements regarding company brands, and others.

OJSC Cellular Communications of Bashkortostan was founded in October 1992 and provides mobile communication services in CDMA format in the territory of Bashkiria. The subscriber base, as of the end of 2012, numbered 38.2 thousand subscribers, the share of the regional mobile communications market was 1.73%. The authorized capital of the SSB is 985.1 million rubles. Revenue in 2012, according to Kartoteka.ru, amounted to 118.2 million rubles, net loss - 96.4 million rubles. The activities of the SSB have been unprofitable since 2004.

The Ministry of Land and Property Relations of Bashkiria did not comment on the upcoming deal yesterday. The department’s reception desk reported that Deputy Minister Ildar Shafikov, who is in charge of this topic, was busy.

General Director of the Regional Fund Yuri Smirnov did not answer the call on his mobile phone.

A former high-ranking government official told Kommersant that since Rostelecom acquired a stake in Bashinformsvyaz (in 2011), “the possibility of selling the republic’s share was discussed many times, but the question of price arose.” “The regional government wanted to maintain participation in the enterprise, on the one hand, because of its strategic nature, on the other, in order to be able to influence its policies, but these calculations did not materialize. We can assume that now nothing prevents us from giving up the package,” the interlocutor noted.

Experts also believe that the deal will be preceded by an attempt by Rostelecom to consolidate 100% of the parent company SSB. “It is certainly more profitable for the Republic to sell its share than to own a nominal stake,” says Anton Pogrebinsky from the analytical company ACM-Consulting. The analyst found it difficult to estimate the republic’s share, suggesting that we could be talking about “symbolic, very small money.” For SSB subscribers, transferring services to a large federal holding company, according to analysts, promises positive results. “This will give the company a new round of development as part of a federal, very ambitious player,” noted Anton Pogrebinsky. iKS-Consulting representative Maxim Savvatin suggested that “the new operator will eventually be transferred to the LTE format, which will attract interest and new subscribers.” “It is not yet clear what will happen to the frequencies on which Sotel operates, but subscribers, most likely, will indeed switch to other communication formats,” agrees Denis Kuskov, general director of the Telecom daily agency. “Entering the joint venture will only be beneficial: in any In this case, given the current financial indicators of Cellular Communications of Bashkortostan, it could work in the non-competitive CDMA format for two years, no more.”
