Mail.ru Group chairman Yury Milner is seeking as much as $60.7 million in a share sale of the Russian backer of Facebook.
Goldman Sachs Group is the sole manager of the sale, according to the term sheet. The amount is based on the Sept. 19 close of $35.72 per global depositary receipt. The shares are currently being offered at $34 to $35.25 apiece, according to a person familiar with the process, as much as 6.6 percent lower than Tuesday's last trade.
Mail.ru also holds Internet investments such as online gaming company Zynga and shopping web site Groupon. Chief executive Dmitry Grishin said last month that Mail.ru might sell some of its shares in Groupon and Zynga if those companies hold initial public offerings.

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.
