Prosus, the Dutch-based technology investor, said on Friday it has agreed to sell its Russian online marketplace Avito for 151 billion roubles , to Kismet Capital Group. Avito had been one of Prosus’s most valuable investments, with an estimated valuation of about $6 billion before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February led the company to cut ties and seek a sale of the property. The buyer, Russian investment firm Kismet, was founded by Ivan Tavrin, former CEO of telecoms company MegaFon.
It said the transaction was financed and settled by a banking consortium led by Russia’s state-owned agricultural sector lender Rosselkhozbank. Several Western companies opting to exit the Russian market have taken significant financial losses in doing so. French food company Danone on Friday said that a deal to cede control of its dairy food business in Russia could lead to a write-off of up to 1 billion euros , while Japanese carmaker Nissan 7201.
