In accordance with the agreements, VTB Capital plc lost the rights to Mangazeya Mining, which arose under a loan agreement for $ 150 million, to Unique Goals International Ltd, whose beneficiary is Yanchukov himself. This is the result of negotiations on the restructuring of the VTB debt of the gold mining company, which lasted more than six months.
The decision to grant a $ 150 million loan to the gold mining company VTB took in December 2011. In February 2012, a five-year credit line was opened at the rate of three-month LIBOR plus 8-14% per annum, depending on the annual level of gold mining. Under the loan agreement, the gold mining company also undertook to sell all of VTB's mined metals in strictly specified quantities.
But a year later, the borrower violated the "golden" agreement with VTB, not having fulfilled in full the obligation to sell the extracted gold. So, in March this year, which follows from the reporting of the gold mining company, it lowered its productivity from 130 thousand ounces of gold per year to 50 thousand ounces, in April - to 42 thousand ounces. As a result, the loan granted by Mangazeya Mining was qualified as a short-term liability. And VTB could apply for levy on the gold bearing areas of the company, mortgaged on the loan.
