[Strebkamp]

Ich schließe mich Deinem Wunsch an. Wüßte auch gern mehr über Menatep.

[Karokater]

Da will ich eigentlich auch wissen, aber da wo der sich der Kurs zur Zeit befindet glaube ich nicht das menatep überhaupt noch auf einem fundament steht.
Wie ist eigentlich die Site von MENATEP, ich suche mich hier dumm und dämlich ?

[Big-Apple]

Russische Aktien sind oft gut und billig. Aber von Banken würde ich mich fernhalten. Die Menatep Bank sollte soweit ich weiß liquidiert werden und es ging bei der Spekulation um Beteiligungen an einer Ölfirma. Neue Informationen habe ich nicht, weil mich die Sache nicht interessiert. Es gibt gerade in Rußland soviele Unternehmen, die viel interessanter und sicherer sind. Schaut mal ins Osteuropa-Board, manchmal poste ich dort auch.

[Al_Coholic]

Vielleicht kann ich ein wenig dazu sagen- ich hab eine Zeit lang in Rußland als Banker gearbeitet und hatte viel mit Menatep zu tun. Zuerst mal: Menatep ist ganz klar eine Bank der russischen Oligarchen. Sie verfügen über hervorragende Verbindungen zum Öl-,Gas-,Stahl-und Nickelkartell und wickeln ,einen Großteil der Geschäfte für diese Firmen ab bzw. sind selbst mehrheitlich beteiligt (machen viel für bei Youkos, Gazprom, Lukoil, Sidaco usw.). Das Management macht im Vergleich zu den anderen russischen Banken einen sehr guten Eindruck- sie haben gute und taffe Leute mit sehr guten Beziehungen in höchste Regierungskreise.
Aus der Bankenkrise in Rußland ist Menatep als einer der Gewinner hervorgegangen. Zu den Fundamentals kann man wohl sagen, daß sie für russische Verhältnisse gut sind- aber auf keinen Fall auch nur annährend zu vergleichen mit unseren Wertmaßstäben. Wie bei allen russischen Banken ist die Eigenkapitalausstattung auch bei Menatep sehr gering- zusätzlich entstehen Risiken, da Rußland nach meinem Kenntnisstand immer noch kein Gesetz über Bankenpleiten verabschiedet hat. So kann es unter Umständen passieren, daß eine Bank schon längst zahlungsunfähig ist und den Geschäftsbetrieb weitestgehend eingestellt hat und ihr trotzdem die Banklizenz nicht entzogen werden kann. Einblick in das tatsächliche Zahlenwerk zu erhalten dürfte schwierig bis unmöglich sein. Wir haben das in Rußland mit anderen Banken durchgemacht- selbst bei massivem Druck seitens ausländischer Regierungen ging manchmal gar nichts-auf Quartalsberichte und Bilanzen mußten wir (auch bei Menatep) monatelang warten und wenn wir welche bekamen, waren die nicht nach IAS sondern auf der Grundlage russischer Buchungsvorschriften angefertigt. Und die verschleiern oft mehr, als sie preisgeben. Ich selbst war einige Zeit jetzt nicht mehr in Rußland und kenne deshalb nicht den ganz aktuellen Stand. Um etwas mehr Aufschluß zu bekommen rate ich:
- mal bei Hermes oder der Kreditanstalt für Wideraufbau unverbindlich nachzufragen, ob Menatep Risiken gedeckt werden würden
- wenn man gute Beziehungen zur eigenen Hausbank hat, auch da mal zu fragen, ob die Menatep Risiko übernehmen würden
(beides bezogen auf Exporte- wenn das nicht funktioniert, auf jeden Fall auch Finger weg von der Aktie)
Dann weiß man im Zweifel schon mal mehr.
Vielversprechend kann es auch sein, direkt bei der russischen Niederlassung einer deutschen Großbank anzurufen (Deutsche, Dresdner, Commerzbank und WestLB sind auf jeden Fall vor Ort)- die Leute da sprechen meist deutsch-auf jeden Fall aber Englisch. Telefonnummern gibt es oft auf den Websites der Banken, wenn man etwas sucht (ich glaub, bei der WestLB hab ich da auf jeden Fall was gesehen). Wenn man da etwas überzeugend agiert, kommt man mit etwas Glück definitiv an die eine oder andere Studie. Das würde ich ausloten, bevor ich in die Aktie gehe.

Hat noch jemand von Euch pro Aktie am 24.8.01 11 US-Dollar gut geschrieben
bekommen oder spinnen die, oder haben einen Fehler gemacht?
WKN ist die 907914. Über Antworten würde ich mich freuen.

[Gurutoday]

Gestern abend habe ich von der Bank of New York, die die Zahlungsstelle der Sonderzahlung war, aus London erfahren,
dass das gar keine Dividendenzahlungen waren, sondern eine einmalige Zahlungsanweisung zur Abfindung der
seitherigen Aktionäre.
Wenn das der Fall ist, bedeutet das nichts Gutes. Denn dann würden die Aktien nur noch einen leeren Mantel
beinhalten. Und wären sozusagen wertlos.
Der Ansprechpartner meinte die Bank wäre bankrott. Ich fragte ihn was ich machen soll,
behalten oder verkaufen? Er gab den Rat zu verkaufen, falls ich überhaupt noch einen
Käufer finden würde... Na ja... Hat jemand noch mehr Neuigkeiten, wie soll ich mich verhalten ??

Was ich ebenfalls nicht ganz kapiere: Wenn die
Vermögensgegenstände nun alle entnommen sind, ist der Mantel
nur noch alleine vefügbar. Ich kenne die
Börsen-Usancen auch nicht so genau, dass ich sagen kann, ob des demnächst zu einem Delisting kommt. Aber wie gesagt:
Das war keine Dividende, obwohl das auf der Abrechnung steht. Menatep
ist pleite, woher soll dann die Dividende kommen. Das war eine
Abfindung für die Vermögengegenstände,
die nun irgend eine andere Firma übernommen hat.
Eventuell sogar die Menatep Saint Petersburg, die soviel ich weiss rechtlich nicht mehr mit der alten Menatep
Bank zu vergeichen ist. Menatep Saint Petersburg (MSP) ist eine eigenständige Bank, d.h. der Anteileigner von
Menatep ADR`s hat keinen Anspruch auf MSP. Oder steht hinter dem Deal eine Ölfirma, die Nachrichtenlage ist
äußerst gering.
Die explodierende Kurse verstehe ich auch nicht, ist aber
meiner Meinung nach eine Spekulationsblase, die bald zerbricht.
Die Falschdefinition von einmaliger Zahlungsanweisung (Abfindung) zu Dividenden könnte der Auslöser sein. Es
gibt Leute, die kaufen wohl deshalb, weil sie denken, dass die Aktie wohl sehr gut bewertet ist bei dieser
Dividende Mmmmmmhhhh :-(
Ich glaube einige haben sich nicht richtig informiert, aber wer will es Ihnen verdenken, wenn es fast keine
Nachrichten dazu gibt.

Gruss

@Gurutoday
Danke für Deine Informationen. Habe mitttlerweile dieselben Informationen
erhalten und bin auch Deiner Meinung, dass man die Aktien jetzt besser abstoßen
sollte. Habe auch im Gegensatz zu Uralvysform keine Quellensteuer abgezogen bekommen.
Die Dividende liegt da auch »bloß« bei US$1,30. Trotzdem war Menatep ein Geschäft, denn
ich bin bei 6 Euro eingestiegen, also kann ich die bevorstehende Pleite gut
verkraften. Viel Glück für Deine Trades.

Itera, Zarubezhneft to Invest $1 Bln in Caspian Oil (Update1)
By Eduard Gismatullin

Moscow, Oct. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Itera International Group, Russia`s No. 2 gas producer, will team up with state-owned VTO Zarubezhneft to explore for oil in Turkmenistan`s part of the Caspian Sea at an estimated cost of $1 billion.

Itera and the Russian oil services company will set up a joint venture to explore two or three offshore fields with recoverable reserves estimated at 400 million tons (2.9 billion barrels) of oil and 300 billion cubic meters of gas. The companies plan to produce about 9 billion cubic meters of gas a year, or a third of Itera`s current output.

``Turkmenistan has offered several deposits and we now decide how many we want to develop, Itera President Igor Makarov said in an interview with Bloomberg. ``I think in November we will finally decide which deposits we will develop`` and determine final estimates of investment costs.

Russian and Western oil and gas companies are competing to develop the Caspian region. The area`s proven reserves of 30 billion tons are enough to supply the world for eight years.

Turkmenistan plans to hold a presentation to foreign investors on Oct. 17 of oil and gas deposits with estimated recoverable oil and gas reserves of 45.4 billion tons of oil equivalent, the country`s oil ministry said in a statement. The tenders will include about 47 deposits within the licensing program until 2010.

World oil and gas consumption is about 5.7 billion tons of oil equivalent a year.

Itera plans to borrow about $300 million a year in coming years, paying annual interest of about 15 percent, to finance its projects.

``MDM Bank recently agreed to open a $100 million credit line for us,`` Valery Otchertsov, president of Moscow-based OOO Itera Holding, said in an interview. Still, all these ``borrowings are short and expensive.``

Itera mostly receives one-year credits from Russia`s OOO Gazprombank, a unit of OAO Gazprom, Russia`s No. 1 natural gas producer, National Reserve Bank, partly owned by Gazprom, and Menatep St. Petersburg.

Menatep St. Petersburg lists AO Yukos Oil Co., Russia`s No. 2 oil producer, and a Gazprom unit among its shareholders.

Menatep Shareholder Says Luxembourg Prober Won`t Find Anything
By Linda Sandler

Moscow, July 13 (Bloomberg) -- Bank Menatep`s majority shareholder said he`s ``absolutely certain`` Luxembourg Prosecutor Carlos Zeyen will find no evidence that the bank laundered money.

Responding to Zeyen`s statement Monday that the bankrupt Moscow lender is being investigated for possible money laundering, Platon Lebedev, former president of what was Russia`s fifth- largest privately owned bank, said he might sue Zeyen for ``material and moral damage`` caused by the statement.

Zeyen`s statement said that a four-month probe didn`t substantiate allegations that Clearstream International had engaged in ``systematic`` money laundering. He`ll continue to investigate ``isolated`` matters at Europe`s No. 2 securities clearing firm, Zeyen said, including allegations by French daily Le Figaro and the book Revelations that Menatep may have used Clearstream accounts to embezzle International Monetary Fund loans to Russia.

``I`m absolutely certain that the prosecutor`s office has nothing on Menatep,`` Lebedev said in an interview. Menatep has a suit pending against Revelations`s authors in a French court.

``The investigation against Menatep will proceed,`` Zeyen said in an interview.

Instructions to Lawyer

Lebedev today said he will ``instruct`` a lawyer in Luxembourg to ``demand`` that Zeyen immediately start probing Menatep. ``Let him try to prove to a Luxembourg tribunal -- and I will help him -- that this (embezzlement of IMF loans) actually happened. If he can`t do that he will lose his job or go to jail.``

If Zeyen ``can show embezzlement,`` Lebedev said, he will sue those responsible at Menatep. ``I will send to jail the former managers and receivers of the bank.``

Menatep is part of Group Menatep Ltd., which controls Yukos oil company. The group yesterday said it would repay in full some foreign lenders to the bank, the Financial Times reported. Menatep failed amid Russia`s 1998 financial crisis.

Zeyen today said he received a letter from Menatep`s Luxembourg lawyer, Fernand Entringer. The latter, also published in Luxembourg daily Tageblatt, criticized Zeyen for singling out Menatep in his official statement and asked him to clarify his ``position.`` If Zeyen ``deliberately used incriminating language`` that would be a ``grave injury`` and contrary to the legal presumption of innocence, Entringer said.

Menatep has been linked to many scandals in the press but never indicted, Lebedev said. The IMF, addressing allegations that funds lent to Russia ``may have been diverted from their intended purpose,`` said on its Web site in 1999 that it ``has no evidence of such diversion.`` Konstantin Kagalovsky, a former Menatep executive, was in 1999 dragged into the money-laundering scandal which hit the Bank of New York. ``He was not on the list`` of those indicted a year later, Lebedev said.

Yukos in the same year was threatened with a suit by Russia`s Federal Securities Commission for failing to disclose relevant information about subsidiaries. No such suit was filed.

Bank Menatep a Target in Luxembourg`s Money-Laundering Probe
By Linda Sandler

Luxembourg, July 11 (Bloomberg) -- Bank Menatep, a bankrupt Russian bank, is being investigated by Luxembourg authorities for allegedly laundering money through Clearstream International accounts, prosecutor Carlos Zeyen said in a statement.

Zeyen started the probe Feb. 26 after the French daily Le Figaro published articles based on a book, Revelations, that alleged hundreds of Clearstream accounts may have been used to launder money, he said in Monday`s statement. He cited the book`s allegation that Menatep may have been implicated in the so-called Kremlingate affair and the alleged embezzlement of billions of dollars of International Monetary Fund loans to Russia.

Investigators will continue to pursue ``the Menatep matter,`` Zeyen said after announcing that he found no ``systematic`` sheltering of illegal profit at Europe`s No. 2 securities clearing company and would continue to probe for ``isolated`` instances of possible money laundering.

``I won`t further comment,`` Zeyen said in an e-mail sent to Bloomberg News yesterday.

In Moscow, Platon Lebedev, a Menatep shareholder and the bank`s former president, said Zeyen hasn`t approached him or the bank`s receivers with questions. ``The receivers of the bank will get in touch with the Luxembourg prosecutor this week in order to understand what he`s talking about,`` he said as his lawyer, Victor Prokofiev, acted as translator.

Menatep had accounts at Clearstream ``in order to keep in custody its securities -- as thousands of banks do,`` Lebedev said. Menatep`s name has never appeared on any list of banks indicted after any bank investigation, Lebedev said. ``We`re there to answer questions.``

The Moscow-based bank was declared bankrupt and lost its banking license in 1999. It began to default on obligations in 1998, after Russia defaulted on Treasury obligations and devalued the ruble.
