In one of the largest Russian registrar companies - "Status" - just eight months after the appointment, the head changes again. The CEO of the registrar, Alexei Sviridov, is leaving the company, his place will be taken by the current commercial director of Status, Lyudmila Mironova. According to Kommersant's information, the reason for the dismissal of the general director was the unresolved issue of ownership. According to Mr. Sviridov himself, the reason was his desire to continue his career in the civil service.

According to two sources of "Kommersant" in the registrar market, "Status" is again preparing serious personnel changes. Aleksey Sviridov as the company's general director will be replaced (after approval by the Central Bank) by its current commercial director, Lyudmila Mironova. This information was confirmed by the registrar itself. According to Kommersant's information, the Board of Directors of Status made such a decision yesterday. “My main tasks as a manager are the transition of the company to a new organizational structure, work on the safety of clients' assets and improvement of customer service,” said Ms. Mironova.

Registrar "Status" is one of the three largest registrar companies in Russian market. According to the company, the registrar serves 6,000 issuers (about 10% of the market). As of December 31, 2017, Status assets amounted to RUB 699 million, net profit last year - 35 million rubles. As of March 31, 2018, the company's own funds amounted to RUB 207 million. The registrar's largest shareholders are Sberbank (20%) and Sberbank Leasing (20%).

Lyudmila Mironova was appointed to the position commercial director registrar "Status" at the beginning of 2018 ( see "Kommersant" dated January 22). Until 2016, she headed the largest registrar company - R.O.S.T., which she left after the change of owners (the company was acquired by the shareholders of the Independent Registrar Company, NRC, see "Kommersant" dated December 23, 2016).

Behind Last year this is the second major reshuffle at the registrar. In the early autumn of last year, Mikhail Nedelsky, who headed the company for 17 years, left the post of CEO of Status ( see "Kommersant" dated September 11, 2017). Aleksey Sviridov, who previously served as an adviser to the Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia Vladimir Chistyukhin, was appointed to his place. As Mr. Sviridov said yesterday, "I have fulfilled my role as an anti-crisis manager, and then Status will continue on its intended path without my participation." In the future, he intends to continue his career in the civil service.

However, according to Kommersant's sources in the registrar market, the reason for his departure could be the dissatisfaction of the main shareholder of the registrar, Sberbank.

“The most acute problem of the company remains the issue of ownership. Probably, the largest shareholder assigned the responsibility for its speedy resolution to Alexei Sviridov. However, this did not happen, ”says one of the interlocutors of Kommersant, who is familiar with the situation. We can talk, in particular, about the sale of a stake in the company (slightly more than 5%) by Mr. Nedelsky to one of the shareholders of the direct competitor of Status - the group of companies NRK - R.O.S.T. - Oleg Savchenko. By the time of the sale, Mr. Nedelsky was an active employee of NRK - R.O.S.T. ( see "Kommersant" dated November 15, 2017). In December last year, in the Moscow Arbitration Court, Sberbank demanded that the transaction be declared invalid and that the disputed shares be written off from Mr. Savchenko's account with subsequent crediting to the bank's account. However, the trial has not yet taken place - the sessions have been repeatedly postponed; The next meeting is scheduled for May 28. Yesterday Sberbank declined to comment. Mr. Sviridov himself told Kommersant that no shareholders, including the largest, influenced his decision to leave the company.

At the same time, according to Kommersant's information, other minority shareholders have recently announced their desire to withdraw from Status's capital. “Some shareholders are dissatisfied with constant personnel changes in the registrar. They believe that this harms the business and, therefore, infringes on their rights, ”said a Kommersant source familiar with the situation in the company.

In one of the largest registrar companies - JSC "Status" - there have been serious personnel changes. The general director of the registrar, Mikhail Nedelsky, who led the company for seventeen years, as well as his first deputy, left Status. Despite the fact that the company will be headed by a native of the Central Bank, difficult times await the registrar, since this business is very dependent on personal connections.

Status is one of the largest Russian registrars. According to the Central Bank, as of January 1, 2017, the company ranked third in the market in terms of the number of registries serviced (more than 6.6 thousand) and the number of registered persons (more than 2.4 million people). The company's assets at the beginning of the year amounted to more than 713.2 million rubles, own funds- more than 326.1 million rubles. According to Kommersant's information, the former deputy general director of Computershare Registrar was considered as candidates for the role of the head of the company, and currently the director global markets Sberbank CIB Veronika Vasilyeva and the former CEO of the registrar R.O.S.T. Ludmila Mironova.

Mr. Sviridov, who was elected General Director of Status on September 8, comes from the Central Bank. Now he holds the position of Advisor to the Deputy Chairman of the Bank of Russia Vladimir Chistyukhin. Previously, Mr. Sviridov worked as Deputy Head of the South-East regional office Federal Service on financial markets. "Alexey Sviridov has decided to continue his career outside the Bank of Russia," the Central Bank said. Mr. Sviridov himself was unavailable for comment.

3rd place in the market

in terms of the number of registries served and registered persons was occupied by the Status registrar at the beginning of 2017

As Kommersant was told by sources from the professional community, the tense situation in the Kaluga branch of the registrar could become a formal reason for changing the leadership at Status JSC. In April 2017, a branch in Kaluga opened VTB-Registrar, one of the main competitors of Status. The new structure was headed by Georgy Poltoratsky, who moved from a similar position in the Kaluga branch of Status JSC. According to Kommersant's sources, this led to tense relations between the companies.

“Mr. Poltoratsky went to work for a direct competitor. Behind him they began to leave regular customers, who have served their registers in Status for many years, ”said one of the interlocutors of Kommersant. According to him, in July 2017, joint-stock companies that wished to transfer their registers for servicing from Status to VTB-Registrar sent a total of more than twenty complaints to the Central Bank. “Status management refused to transfer registries to a competitor under various pretexts. Clients considered the pretexts far-fetched and began to complain, ”the interlocutor of Kommersant explained.

But another Kommersant source is sure that the Kaluga conflict was only the "last straw". According to him, the regulator has already had complaints about the "inflexible position" of the top management of "Status". Mr. Nedelsky objects to such an interpretation. “We have strong positions in Kaluga. The conflict with competitors has been settled - we have officially concluded something like a peace treaty under the auspices of the SRO NFA. So this situation has nothing to do with my decision to leave the company,” he commented. The press service of the regulator said that "the Bank of Russia does not comment on existing companies and does not interfere in their activities."

Mr. Nedelsky believes that the “Kaluga case” has become an object lesson in compliance with ethical standards in competition for the entire registrar market, so that "it is unlikely that any of my colleagues will ever want to participate in something like this." In his opinion, the change of leadership in Status will not affect the overall balance of the market. At the same time, market participants believe that after the departure of Mr. Nedelsky, it will be more difficult for Status to maintain its leadership, because this business is largely based on personal connections. Clients, emphasizes one of the registrars, "will be poached and outbid by any means," especially in the regions.

At the end of last week, it became known that the secretary of the Samara regional branch of the Civic Platform party, the ex-head of the Samara branch of the Status Registrar Company, Vladimir Obukhov, filed an application with the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation and the Investigative Committee of the ICR for the Samara Region. According to some reports, the reason for the businessman to file a statement with the investigating authorities was a whole series of events that took place around Obukhov over the past five years: the statement says that certain criminal structures have repeatedly attempted to take control of the Samara branch of the Status company. The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation came against the backdrop of a change in the leadership of the Status Registrar Society that took place on September 8: Mikhail Nedelsky left the post of general director, and Alexei Sviridov, an adviser to the deputy chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, took his place, a native of Samara.

Have you shown interest in the enterprises of the defense complex?
Last week it became known that Samara businessman Vladimir Obukhov filed an application addressed to the chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin and the head of the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for the Samara Region Valery Samodaykin. The document emphasizes that for several years certain criminal structures have been trying to take control of the Samara branch of the Status company. According to observers, it is possible that the interest of a number of reputable businessmen in the company's activities may be due to the fact that Status is currently one of the three largest registrar companies in Russia that maintains the register of shareholders of enterprises. Moreover, Status' clients include large enterprises of the military-industrial complex, including companies that are part of the Rostec state corporation headed by Sergei Chemezov.
According to some reports, the events of 2016 became the apotheosis of the proceedings around the Samara branch of Status, when one of the local reputable businessmen allegedly suggested that Obukhov steal a controlling stake in a large Samara enterprise, the value of whose shares can reach more than 1 billion rubles. Obukhov seemed to be given a choice: either the entrepreneur agrees to participate in, to put it mildly, a dubious business deal; or another candidate will be selected for the post of director of the Samara office. According to unconfirmed data, Obukhov refused to participate in the division of shares of a local enterprise. Some time later, at the suggestion of the now former General Director of Registrar Society Status, Mikhail Nedelsky, Vladimir Obukhov was dismissed from the post of head of the company's branch.

Implemented multi-move
Significantly, Obukhov's statement to the investigating authorities coincided with another event that also occurred at the end of last week. As early as September 8, in unofficial circles, they began to discuss the likely resignation of Mikhail Nedelsky from the post of general director of Status Registrar Society JSC. Yesterday, September 11, this fact was confirmed by the Kommersant newspaper, reporting that Nedelsky, who headed the company since 2000, and his first deputy, Natalya Petrova, also vacated his positions.A native of Samara, adviser to the deputy chairman of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Chistyukhin, Aleksey Sviridov, was appointed to the post of General Director of Status.
It should be noted that Sviridov, who for several years served as an adviser to the Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank of Russia, was well aware of some commercial transactions of the Samara branch of Status, since the Central Bank acts as a regulator of the activities of all registrar societies that maintain the register of owners valuable papers. Accordingly, Sviridov could not have been unaware of the scandalous events mentioned in Obukhov's statement to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation that had taken place around the businessman over the past five years. In this regard, a logical question arises: is Sviridov in any way connected with the persons from whom Obukhov received an offer in February 2016 to participate in the fate of a controlling stake in one of the Samara enterprises?
