The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has placed bank Petrocommerce-Ukraine on
the list of insolvent banks.
The decision is outlined in NBU resolution No. 169 of March 17, 2016.
The bank earlier was put to the list of troubled banks due to having the
non-transparent ownership structure. In March 2015, a shareholder in the bank –
Russia's Petrocommerce – sold the Ukrainian bank's shares to 11 individuals.
Their shares in the bank were less than 10%.
The shareholders in the bank and
its real managers Ivan Shekhavtsov and Oleksiy Krupiy in 2015 many times
informed the central bank that they sought registering the shares in the bank
to themselves. Only in December 2015 they filed the relevant documents. In late
February and early March 2016 they sold their shares in the bank to 11
individuals and notified the NBU that they left the bank as shareholders. The
bank immediately experienced problems with liquidity.
As of March 16, 2016, the volume of unsettled transactions by the bank
exceeded 30% of its liabilities.
The central bank decided to declare Shekhavtsov and Krupiy majority
shareholders in the bank, as they were majority shareholders and influenced the
bank's operations in March 2015 through February 2016. Thus, they are to
fulfill all the liabilities of the bank's owners.
