OREANDA-NEWS. October 2, 2009. Shares of PAVA OJSC quoted on MICEX soared 29.5% higher after the company announced the forthcoming visit to the MENA region, which marks a new phase in the dialogue with strategic and financial partners.

Trading is impacted by increased promotion of the projects, as PAVA intends to offer a blocking stake in the company, effecting the transition to a vertically integrated holding.

“We anticipate the trend will continue. Interest for our bid has topped expectations and improved prospects of agriculture investment overseas will be pushing the shares up”, said Andrey Ananin, PAVA Director General.

This also follows PAVA’s recent report of a successful bond repurchase – the company became the only player in the agro-processing sector to pay out the total volume of investor obligations on RUR1 bln. bond loan.
