‘ VTB’s involvement in London's previous mining transactions was critical. It served as adviser for Sviblov’s company Fortiana when he bought Highland and for the Trans-Siberian offer, and lent the Kaz buyers $3.5bn. ’
People have said previously, ‘who’s got the benjamins to stump up 3/5/10 billion for Eurasia in a pandemic’ and I’ve replied that considering VTB, CITIC and UBS are or have all been round the table over the last 18 months and completed their own due diligence, I’m sure they’d all be happy to pull together a finance package for the buyer, if required.
