Sibur Holding, currently an open joint stock company, will reorganize as a closed joint stock company, freeing it of the requirement to publish financial accounts and other material concerning operations, the company announced Monday.
Shareholders approved the necessary amendments to the company charter and other key documents at a meeting on Jan. 11.
It was reported earlier that a structure belonging to Novatek chief and co-owner Leonid Mikhelson acquired a 25 percent stake in Sibur on Dec. 23. Mikhelson ultimately plans to raise his stake in Sibur to 100 percent.

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.
