The placement was organised by bankers from Renaissance Capital and VTB Capital, according to a report in today's Vedomosti.
The bank, ranked among Russia's Top 30 by assets, started a roadshow for the $150 million placement earlier this month
Kommersant said the bank intends to convert into preference shares $50 million of its subordinated debt.
