Norilsk Nickel, the biggest producer of the metal, raised the amount of shares it offered to buy back by 17 percent to 13.9 million on excess demand.
Norilsk increased the offer after shareholders tendered for 13 million shares, against the prior plan to buy back 11.9 million shares at $252 each, or $25.20 per American Depositary Receipt, it said in an e-mailed statement Friday. The value of the increased buyback is about $3.5 billion, based on the offer price and number of securities on offer.

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.
