The Bank of Russia has revoked the licenses of a professional participant in the securities market to carry out brokerage activities, dealer activities, depository activities and securities management activities issued to JSC Investment Company Peter Trust, according to information on the regulator's website.
The reasons for the license revocation also include repeated violations of the requirements of the Russian Federation legislation on securities within one year, namely: violations in the implementation of depository activities, violations related to the calculation of the amount of equity capital, violations related to the calculation of the capital adequacy ratio, violations related to the calculation of the short-term liquidity ratio, violations related to the completion and submission of reports to the Bank of Russia, violations in terms of the company's internal accounting, violations in terms of the submission of reports to clients, violations in terms of the risk management system and the internal control system, violations in the implementation of brokerage activities, repeated failure to comply with the Bank of Russia's orders within one year.
"On counteracting the unlawful use of insider information and market manipulation and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation".
It was previously reported that in early February 2025, IC Peter Trust completed an over-the-counter buyback of shares in gold miner Solidcore (former Polymetal), recorded through the National Settlement Depository (NSD).
At the same time, the investment company completed the settlements within the final, sixth stage of the buyout. "Piter Trust" did not disclose its final stake in Solidcore. As a result of the exchange buyout, the investment company collected 0.81% of shares, slightly more than half of the securities held in the NSD and free from encumbrances and not held in type C accounts.
Initially, as a result of sanctions against NSD and other Russian depositories, approximately 22% of Solidcore shares were blocked. The gold miner itself exchanged 18.38% of shares for securities issued on the Astana International Financial Center (AIX) exchange.
