Arrest of a share in Detsky Mir

On August 7, 2023, information appeared that the Moscow Arbitration Court, at the request of Otkritie Bank, seized a 5% stake in Detsky Mir, owned by the American Goldman Sachs Group.

According to Interfax, Otkritie Bank filed a lawsuit to jointly recover debts from Goldman Sachs International, Goldman Sachs Group and Goldman Sachs & Co LLC in the amount of 614.7 million rubles under a master agreement on a model model document developed by the International Association of Swaps and Derivatives (ISDA). Otkritie Bank demanded the arrest of these funds in all accounts of Goldman Sachs International in any currency in banks in Russia, including Goldman Sachs Bank, Unicredit Bank and Citibank.

The court arrested a five percent stake in Goldman Sachs in "Children's World"

Otkritie Bank asked to arrest a similar amount from all three defendants in all accounts with the National Settlement Depository (NSD), Raiffeisen Bank, Rosbank, Absolut Bank and the St. Petersburg Settlement and Depository Center. We are talking, among other things, about securities and derivative financial instruments. In addition, the bank asked to arrest 100% of Goldman Sachs Group's shares in the authorized capital of Goldman Sachs Bank, as well as the group's 37 million 22 thousand 588 ordinary shares of Detsky Mir PJSC, which is 5.01% in the retailer's capital. The assets on which Otkritie asked to seize included minor stakes in a number of public companies on the balance sheet of the Goldman Sachs III SICAV fund (Sberbank, Aeroflot, Gazprom, Lukoil, Magnit, Tatneft, VTB), as well as the property rights of Goldman Sachs & Co in relation to a number of trademarks.

The reason for filing lawsuits was Goldman Sachs International's refusal to "fulfill obligations under the master agreement." The court, having considered the submitted documents, satisfied the bank's statement regarding the arrest of Detsky Mir shares, blocks of shares in Russian companies owned by the Goldman Sachs III SICAV fund, as well as Goldman Sachs & Co property rights in relation to trademarks. The evidence presented by Otkritie confirms the impossibility of recovering the property of Goldman Sachs Group in the Russian Federation in the future. In addition, Goldman Sachs Group will not be able to fulfill its obligations to Otkritie in foreign countries due to the current sanctions (as of early August 2023).^[3]
