Who owns Gazprom: current list of shareholders today

Good day to readers of the site INFOZET.RU . Recently, many have been interested in the question of how many shares Gazprom , an industry giant, has.

The reasons for such active interest of the population in such securities, of course, are profitability. And the point is not even that Gazprom’s bills are considered “blue chips”, or that they have a transparent dividend policy. No, of course it’s not much different. Rather, here we see such a factor as: a long-term perspective and even influence in the political “behind the scenes”. After all, you and I could often observe that the news shows news about this company every now and then, and since it is shown to us day after day, it means that the company is not cut out for business.

All this, of course, is connected by one chain, and our neurons are lined up in such a way that you involuntarily ask the question - Why do I still not have a share in PJSC Gazprom?

So, now let’s talk about the “papers” themselves.

History of Gazprom shares

It all started back in 1993 (or for some, not so far). It was that year in May that the first issue of the authorized capital of RAO Gazprom was registered. At that time, compared to today, the number of shares was small, only 236,735,129. That is, the total number did not reach one billion. The nominal value of one share was not 5 rubles as it is now, but 1000.

But a year later, in 1994, a lot of new things happened, and the par value of the shares immediately dropped to 10 rubles. However, everything is not so simple. For one share in 1993 they gave 100 new shares worth 10 rubles. That is, there was some kind of splitting of shares, which corresponded to the current state of affairs at that time. By the way, it would be nice to mention Boris Nikolaevich Yeltsin. It was with his “light” hand that the decision on this change was adopted. The first president of Russia tried to do a lot at that time, not everything worked out, but the desire to change society was great. But let's put that aside.

And in 1998, changes were made to the legislation again. And now the nominal price of one Gazprom share was already 0.01 rubles. It is worth considering the fact that in Russia at that time there were almost daily changes. This was due to the fact that society was “searching” for itself and “getting on the rails” of a new political and economic course.

And after this, yesterday’s OJSC Gazprom became PJSC Gazprom. And that same year (end of 1998) shares began to cost 5 rubles per share. Again, do not forget that this was the nominal value, and it could change radically from different fluctuations in the market. The number of shares remained the same – 23673512900.

Market capitalization of Gazprom until the end of 2021 in the chart

A company like Gazprom really has a lot of shares for 2021. But many people are interested in one question that constantly remains behind the scenes. Will there be an increase in shares in the future? Is it planned to increase Gazprom shares by increasing the issue of new ones? The company's leaders themselves have already answered these questions, but you also need to understand that if today there is one answer, then tomorrow it may be the opposite. "Why is that?" - you ask, and I will answer you. And the point is not that we live in a “special” country where everything changes in one second. The fact is that this decision is influenced by several factors at the same time: this is the political situation, and the economic situation in general of the entire economy as a whole, as well as in a particular industry. Therefore, we cannot answer the question in such a way that no more questions remain later; they have always been, are and will be in the future.

But what can each person do? He can only do one thing, be interested in this topic, and constantly be aware of events. You must constantly keep your finger on the pulse if you want to remain a winner.

Most recently, PJSC Gazprom again decided to place its stake of almost 4% on the Moscow Exchange market. And those who wanted to make money on this bought these papers. They do not have a bad dividend policy, and they themselves are constantly growing.

What determines the size of dividends of PJSC Gazprom?

On December 24, 2021, the Board of Directors of PJSC Gazprom approved the Dividend Policy of PJSC Gazprom, which defined the principles for determining the amount of dividends.

The amount of dividends on shares of PJSC Gazprom is calculated based on the amount of the Company’s adjusted Net Profit according to IFRS.

Adjustments to Net Profit made when calculating dividends are aimed at leveling out the impact of “non-cash” items in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income:

• Adjustment for exchange differences for both operating and financial items.
• Accounting for impairment (or reversal of impairment loss) of property, plant and equipment and investments in associates.
• Replacement of the share of profits from associated companies and joint ventures with proceeds from associated companies and joint ventures when calculating the dividend base.

These adjustments make it possible to bring the dividend base closer to the Company’s cash flow and can affect dividends both upward and downward, depending on the direction of the specified elements of the financial statements

In accordance with the Dividend Policy, the target level of dividend payments is at least 50% of the Company's Adjusted Net Profit. Achieving the target level will be carried out in stages:

• when determining the amount of dividend payments based on the results of 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company proceeds from the fact that the amount of funds allocated for the payment of dividends must be at least 30% of the Adjusted Net Profit;
• when determining the amount of dividend payments based on the results of 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company proceeds from the fact that the amount of funds allocated for the payment of dividends must be at least 40% of the Adjusted Net Profit;
• When determining the amount of dividend payments for 2021 and in subsequent years, the Board of Directors of the Company proceeds from the fact that the amount of funds allocated for the payment of dividends must be at least 50% of the Adjusted Net Profit.

The Board of Directors submits recommendations on the amount of dividends to the Meeting of Shareholders, which makes the final decision.

How are dividends paid?

In accordance with the Federal Law “On Joint Stock Companies” and the Charter of PJSC Gazprom, the right to receive annual dividends is granted to persons who own shares at the end of the business day on the date determined by the meeting of shareholders at which the decision to pay dividends was made. Such a date cannot be set earlier than 10 days from the date of the decision to pay (announce) dividends and later than 20 days from the date of such a decision. The period for paying dividends to a nominee holder and a trustee who is a professional participant in the securities market, who are registered in the register of shareholders, should not exceed 10 working days, and to other persons registered in the register of shareholders - 25 working days from the date on which persons entitled to receiving dividends.

The agent for the payment of dividends to shareholders of PJSC Gazprom is Gazprombank (Joint Stock Company), which pays dividends through its branches and other financial structures after the transfer of funds to PJSC Gazprom. Due to changes in legislation, starting with dividends paid in 2014 based on the Company’s performance in 2013, Gazprombank (Joint Stock Company) is a paying agent for the payment of dividends only to persons registered directly in the register. Persons who are clients of depositories (including the Gazprombank depository (Joint Stock Company)) are paid dividends by these depositories (cascade principle of dividend payment).

For the convenience of receiving dividends, the shareholder can give a written instruction to the place of registration of shares (JSC DRAGA, Gazprombank (Joint Stock Company), other depositary), indicating in the Questionnaire at the place of registration of shares the method of receiving dividends: by postal or bank transfer.

If it is necessary to change the payment method and details for receiving accrued dividends (residence address when receiving dividends by postal order, bank account details, etc.) after the date of compiling the list of persons entitled to receive them (provided that accrued dividends are still were not received by the shareholder), the shareholder must contact the organization that keeps records of the shareholder’s rights to the Company’s shares (depository or registrar) and make appropriate changes to the personal data. These changes are brought to the attention of the Company through the accounting system for the purpose of paying dividends.

An unallocated metal account (UMA) is one of the types of investing in precious metals by opening a special bank deposit. Gold, palladium, silver and platinum are used for deposits. Banks offer to open a special account for free, but you will have to pay to close it. The spread between the purchase and sale prices is set by financiers individually. It is a few percent. The spread includes the bank's profit on maintaining compulsory medical insurance.

Cash deposits of this type have several advantages:

• financial processes occur instantly;
• on the fact of working with compulsory medical insurance there is no VAT;
• accounts can be opened for third parties, including minors;
• investors can receive money in gold, but after paying VAT;
• The cost of service does not include storage and transportation of metals.

Compulsory medical insurance is considered a hybrid between a classic bank account and a financial instrument for investment. The client analyzes the compulsory medical insurance quotes for precious metals, buys the selected amount of virtual metal and waits for its price to increase. Replenishing your account is available at any time, as is withdrawing money, without consequences or restrictions.

Gold is popular, followed by silver. Platinum and palladium are rarely used as investment vehicles. The level of profitability is determined by the prices of precious metals in the bank.
