Gearing Up for Russian IPOs

MOSCOW, September 15, 2011 -

Ipreo to Sponsor IPO&SPO Forum

The Institute for Development of Financial Markets is holding IPO&SPO Forum on September 22, 2011 at the MICEX Conference Hall in Moscow.

IPO&SPO-2011 Forum is the biggest Russian annual conference designed to address IPO challenges and prospects for Russian companies.

This year has proven difficult one for Russian IPOs. However, Russia still presents great opportunity for issuers and global investors alike. The Forum will focus on discussing the issue of attracting capital into Russia.

Forum participants will have the chance to receive information about further IPO & SPO market developments from regulators, issuers, stock exchanges (both Russian and foreign), and financial consultants.

Alexandre Bykov, who represents Ipreo in Russia and CIS, commented: “The IPO&SPO Forum provides a platform for developing the investment climate in Russia as well as promoting the role of IR professionals.”

IPO&SPO-2011 Forum speakers and participants are professionals involved in IPO and SPO processes - representatives of the Federal Financial Markets Service, Bank of Russia, Russian Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Economic Development, Federal Antimonopoly Service, as well as issuers, bank underwriters, legal and consulting companies, rating agencies, investment companies, and, most importantly, a number of stock exchanges - both Russian and foreign.
