Alexander Monosov, general director of BFT, owned by IBS Group, acquired 5% of its shares. IBS sold this package at a discount of $1.285 million in order to encourage its top manager. The entire company was valued at $31 million.^[1]

IBS Group sold 5% of the shares of Budget and Financial Technologies (BFT) controlled by it to its CEO Alexander Monosov. This follows from IBS Group documents. The transaction amount amounted to $265 thousand, which is significantly lower than the fair value of the package. The discount in the transaction, according to BFT, amounted to $1.285 million.

Thus, the fair value of the sold package is $1.55 million, and the entire BFT is estimated at $31 million. The press service of the IBS Group clarified that the deal was made in order to encourage Monosov. Details of the purchase scheme were not disclosed. BFT was founded in 1997, the company is engaged in the automation of state and municipal administration, as well as systems for multifunctional service centers.

As a result of the transaction, the share of IBS Group in BFT, according to the Contour-Focus database, decreased to 67%. Another 28% of the shares of BFT, previously also owned by IBS Group, a few years ago passed to the Budget Process company registered at the same address as it. Its sole owner is British Virgin Islands offshore Fabrik Enterprises. IBS Group does not comment on its possible affiliation with this company.

It is possible that the sale of shares to Monosov at a discounted price contains a number of additional conditions. For example, it is known that in 2010 IBS Group encouraged the CEO of its other subsidiary, an offshore developer, to software Luxoft Dmitry Loshchinin have a 5% stake. This package was transferred to him for free, but if he left the company over the next three years, he would have to return the shares back.

In 2013, Luxoft went public, which allows Loschinin to sell its shares on the open market (now this package costs $49 million). BFT, unlike Luxoft, is not a public company. Nevertheless, Alexander Monosov will have the opportunity to turn his stake into money, says Maxim Klyagin, an analyst at Finam Management.

"The provision of shares to senior management always allows management to be as interested as possible in the dynamic growth of shareholder value," says Klyagin. - This is also true for non-public enterprises, since it is possible to implement a liquid package of an attractive company privately. Buyers are most often major shareholders or large minority shareholders interested in consolidating shares. "

In 2013, he became the owner of Real Electronic Policy LLC (NEP).

Chairman of the Informatization Committee at the Russian Association of Customers and Suppliers, as well as Chairman of the Informatization Committee in the field of procurement of the Guild of Domestic Specialists (GOS).
