Financial news: Facts of illegal use of insider information in transactions with shares of PJSC Ashinsky Metallurgical Plant have been established (08/14/2025)

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Central Bank of Russia –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

During the inspection, the Bank of Russia established facts of illegal use of insider information by Mikhail Vladimirovich Papkin when conducting transactions with ordinary shares of PJSC Ashinsky Metallurgical Plant (hereinafter referred to as the Shares, the Company).

On 12.08.2024, the decision of the Board of Directors of the Company to recommend to the General Meeting of Shareholders the payment of dividends in the amount of 77 rubles per Share from the net profit received based on the results of the first half of 2024 and the retained earnings of previous years was published on the website of the Central Research and Development Company 1 of the Interfax agency. This information was insider information of the Company.

Considering that dividends on the Shares had not been paid for over 20 years, this news provoked a sharp increase in the value of the Shares, in connection with which a discrete auction was held on the Shares on 12.08.2024.

Papkin M.V., being an insider and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, participated in a meeting of the Board of Directors on 09.08.2024, at which issues of convening an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and the amount of dividends were considered. On the day of the meeting, he made a series of transactions to purchase Shares. After the disclosure of insider information on the decision to recommend the payment of dividends on 12.08.2024, Papkin M.V. made a series of transactions from 13.08.2024 to 19.08.2024 to sell the acquired volume of Shares at a price significantly exceeding the purchase price, making a profit.

Thus, it was established that Papkin M.V. unlawfully used the Company’s insider information, in connection with which his actions were qualified by the Bank of Russia as a violation of the prohibition established by paragraph 1 of part 1 of article 6 of Federal Law No. 224-FZ.

Papkin M.V. was brought to administrative responsibility for the illegal use of insider information, and he was given an order to prevent similar violations in the future.

In addition, the Bank of Russia sent instructions to professional participants in the securities market and trade organizers to suspend operations on the brokerage accounts of M.V. Papkin.

The Bank of Russia draws attention to the inadmissibility of the unlawful use of insider information when making transactions by insiders of the issuer, as well as the need for issuers and other legal entities specified in Part 1 of Article 11 of Federal Law No. 224-FZ to properly fulfill their obligations in terms of taking measures to prevent, identify and suppress the unlawful use of insider information, including ensuring its protection and confidentiality.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a working meeting with Acting Head of Tambov Oblast Yevgeny Pervyshov. The parties discussed the development of agriculture and the implementation of the activities of the national project "Ecological Well-Being".

As noted, the Tambov Region's agro-industrial complex makes a significant contribution to ensuring the country's food security. In particular, traditionally high indicators are demonstrated by livestock farming, grain complex and gardening.

The harvesting campaign is currently underway in the region, and an increase in grain crop yields is noted. Evgeny Pervyshov reported that about 2.5 million tons have been threshed to date, with a yield of 49.6 c/ha, which is higher than the national average.

In 2025, the positive dynamics in the production of livestock and poultry will continue. Thus, over the first six months of the current year, the indicator has grown to almost 320 thousand tons.

Particular attention at the meeting was paid to the issues of achieving national goals in the field of environmental well-being. Within the framework of the national project "Ecology" in the Tambov Region, measures were implemented to eliminate three unauthorized landfills, modernize the infrastructure of solid municipal waste collection and accumulation facilities, reforestation and river cleaning. Over 940 million rubles were allocated from the federal budget for these purposes.

Within the framework of the national project “Environmental Well-being”, which was launched this year, work in these areas will continue.
