VTB, Russias second-largest bank, has set the indicative price range for its initial public offering next month, the first by a Russian bank in London. It will try to raise up to $8.4 billion (4.2 billion), seeking to almost match its rival Sberbanks $8.95 billion rights issue. In an investment memorandum, VTB said that it had set the indicative price range at 0.1130 to 0.1390 roubles per share, or $8.77 to $10.79, for a global depositary receipt

VTB bank seeks $8.4bn in IPO

Dealings started on a when- issued basis in shares of Xchanging after the 84.1m on offer were priced at 240p, valuing the business outsourcing specialist at 493m. UBS and Citigroup were joint book-runners, and the shares were offered to institutional investors.

The issue was heavily oversubscribed following presentations in the UK, US and Europe. The price touched 263p, with more than 44m shares changing hands.

Volga Gas, the independent exploration company based in Russia, made its Aim debut today. It has raised 58m through a placing at 299p a share, valuing it at 155m. Broker KBC Peel Hunt said the placing was 40% oversubscribed.

The shares opened at 310p before settling 315p. The money will be used to extract gas for production in 2008.

MUMBAI (Thomson Financial) - Eight Indian real-estate companies have put their Alternative Investment Market (AIM) listing plans on hold as they are not sure they will be able to raise the expected capital, the Mint reported, quoting consultants who did not wish to be named.

The paper cited Ibukun Adebayo, business development manager (India and international) at the London Stock Exchange as saying: 'This year there is a slowdown in the domestic real-estate market and this mood is reflected at the AIM market as well.'

Wellstream - Final Price

State-owned VTB will try to raise up to $8.4 billion in an initial public offering in London next month, issuing some 1.7 trillion shares at a price that some market players view to be grossly inflated.

The bank said Wednesday that it had set the indicative price range for its IPO, the first by a Russian bank in London, at 11.3 to 13.9 kopeks per share, implying a market capitalization of $22.85 billion to $28.1 billion prior to the new share issue.

Based on 2007 earnings forecasts, this implies a price-earnings ratio of 27 at the upper price range, UBS analyst Bob Kommers said. Compared with Sberbank, whose stock price is 17 times its projected earnings for 2007, this is "very expensive," Kommers said.

AUTONOMY'S announcement last week that it is to de-merge and float Blinkx, its consumer search engine, received a rather muted response from the City, with the Autonomy share price only slightly up; however, could this be a re-run of the fabulous Autonomy story of almost a decade ago?

The billionaire owners of a Kazakh mining company preparing to list on the LSE have been advised they might have to leave the board because of outstanding money-laundering allegations against them.
