Who owns AvtoVAZ

The decision to build an automobile plant in the city of Tolyatti was made in July 1966, and the first car left the assembly line in 1970. Today AvtoVAZ OJSC is the largest producer of small cars in Russia. During the existence of the enterprise, the era of the undivided power of the state in industry was replaced by the era of private property. And the owners of the plant have changed more than once over the past decades.

In addition to the parent company, AvtoVAZ OJSC includes more than twenty subsidiaries with 100% VAZ capital, as well as about three hundred enterprises with equity participation in the Volga Automobile Plant.

According to Finmarket news agency, the owners of an industrial giant in the form of an open joint stock company are a number of legal entities and individuals. The share of property of each of the main owners in the authorized capital of the company is different, for example:

- CJSC "DCC" - 19%;

- ZAO CB Citibank - 18.8%;

- State Corporation "Russian Technologies" - 18, 8%;

- The Ministry of Property Relations of the Samara Region - about 0.3%;

- Komarov Igor Anatolyevich - 0.14%;

- Karagin Nikolay Mikhailovich - 0, 0003%;

To date, according to information posted on the official website of the holding, I.A. Komarov is the president of AvtoVAZ, and N.M. Karagin - Chairman of the trade union committee of OJSC.

In 2010, the general meeting of shareholders of AvtoVAZ approved changes to the Charter of the organization, including an increase in the authorized capital. Now it is 11 421 137 155 rubles. The authorized capital is divided into more than 2 billion shares of two categories - preferred (20.2% of the authorized capital) and ordinary (79.8% of the authorized capital). The par value of one share, regardless of its type, is 5 rubles.

At the beginning of 2012, the Rosbalt news agency circulated that the Franco-Japanese automotive alliance Renault-Nissan was planning to acquire a controlling stake in AvtoVAZ. At that time, the main shareholders of the company, in addition to Renault-Nissan, were Russian Technologies State Corporation and Troika Dialog, which owned a total of 25% of the company. It was later reported that the planned acquisition would be completed by the end of 2012. The Franco-Japanese company intends to invest more than $ 750 million in AvtoVAZ and get a share of 67%. An environmental review of the transaction is currently underway.
