Mostotrest raised $388 million in an initial public offering after pricing shares at the bottom of its $6.25 to $8 range, the construction company said.
Mostotrest sold 62 million shares at $6.25 apiece, valuing the company at $1.6 billion. Deutsche Bank,
JPMorgan Chase and Troika Dialog managed the sale, Mostotrest said in a statement last week.
“The success of the IPO is evidence of the high potential and broad opportunities of the Russian infrastructural sector in the securities market,” Andrew Chulack, head of global banking at Deutsche Bank in Russia, said in e-mailed comments. The IPO attracted the most demand from Britain, with its institutions representing 57 percent of the offering, he said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
