VTB First Deputy Chairman Dmitry Pyanov told reporters that the deal with Wildberry could be completed by the end of October. "In terms of benchmarks for the deal with RWB, we ask you to rely on the statements of our chairman last week, it does not matter for us when to close the deal," the top manager said.

Last week, the head of VTB Andrey Kostin at the XXIII International Banking Forum said that from the point of view of strategic plans for interaction with Wildberries, nothing has changed. “We have slightly shifted the deadlines for the development of specific documents ... I think in the next month we will complete all the agreements that were worked out, we will work very closely,” he said.

As for the parameters of the SPO, according to Dmitry Pianov, no changes are expected: the volume, price, anchor investors remain. Earlier, Andrei Kostin said that there are certain agreements with anchor investors, including RWB. At the same time, VTB itself acquires 5% in VB Bank, as well as shares in fintech assets, digital projects and near-financial services. The volume of additional issue was estimated at 300-400 billion rubles, the price of accommodation - 87 rubles. At the same time, over the past month, the exchange value of the bank's shares did not rise above 54 rubles, and in the middle of the month reached a historic low of 49.44 rubles.
