Carlsberg last year generated 10% of its total revenue and 6% of its operating profit in Russia, where it has eight breweries and 8,400 employees.

Carlsberg, the Western brewer most exposed to the Russian market, joined rivals Anheuser-Busch and Heineken in seeking to withdraw after Moscow invaded Ukraine on February 24.

"Our calculations brought us to a certain valuation in the market. The question of course is whether we can get that valuation. That is difficult to assess," Hart said."Of course there are risks associated with this unprecedented situation."
