URALSIB (which was wedded to Lukoil)Bidder was not formally announced. The Financial Times reported this weekend that Gazprombank, the financial arm of Gazprom, is the bidder for a 25% stake in Imperial Energy (IEC LN – Not Rated). If true, we believe the news is positive for Imperial, since having Gazprom as a major shareholder would likely help solve the company’s problems with Russia’s environmental watchdog and decrease Imperial’s political and operational risks in Russia. But the proposed price is below the market price, a discount we believe is unwarranted, as Imperial is making good progress developing its operations, and we believe the shares are currently undervalued. In our view, Gazprom and Imperial are likely to enter into negotiations over the price, which will drive up the share price.
