The total EBITDA by all companies will make up $1.2 bln.
M. Gutseriev expects the merging of his companies – RussNeft and Neftisa – in the coming 2 years with a further IPO, he said.
Debt control
Mr. Gutseriev said that RussNeft plans to convert $1 bln of its debt until the end of 2015. Currently the debt of RussNeft reaches $2.3 bln.
By the end of the year we expect to covert $1 bln. The entire debt and EBITDA will stay at a very low ratio, we will attract new funds and actively develop new deposits in new regions, he said.
In November RussNeft reduced its debt to 42.3 bln having converted $3 bln of debt into shares.
