US bank floats plan to repay US investors via Lukoil asset sale: Reuters

The cashless swap of Lukoil's $22 billion international assets aims to repay U.S. investors who lost billions after sanctions froze their holdings, sources said.

  • On Dec 8, Xtellus Partners told the U.S. Treasury it would use proceeds from Lukoil's assets to repay U.S. investors and proposed a cashless swap for securities and assets.
  • Western sanctions, including U.S. measures against Lukoil and Rosneft, and cash transfer restrictions have blocked sales, while U.S. asset managers lost billions after freezing and writing off Russian holdings.
  • The bank is advising American billionaire Todd Boehly and UAE investor group Allied Investment Partners, with Lukoil's estimated $22 BILLION of international assets attracting interest from Carlyle and likely to be sold to energy firms if recovered.
  • With a December 13 deadline looming, buyers of assets must get Lukoil's approval and clear the sale with the U.S. Treasury, while Lukoil seeks an extension to finalize deals.
  • Xtellus Partners emerged from a management buyout of VTB Capital's U.S. operations, while Lukoil's overseas assets face disruptions from Iraq to Finland and index providers FTSE Russell and MSCI removed Russian stocks after the invasion.
