The auction took place with high competition – there were 14 participants, seven of whom offered more than UAH 100 million for the object (with a starting price of UAH 31.3 million) .
The largest bet was made by Real Slavutich 1 LLC, whose owner is Universam No. 3 ODO (Velika Kishenya in Obolon), and the beneficiary is the founder of RetailGroup Roman Lunin. RetailGroup unites the chains of stores “Welmart”, “Velika Kishenya”, “VK Express”.
The company offered 999 UAH more than the second participant (Top-Offer LLC of Evgeniy Boguslavsky and Mikhail Shcherbin), and 1,000 UAH more than the third (Progressive Oil and Gas Technologies LLC of Ruslan Kalashnik, Oleg Galagan and Vladimir Budz).
The Kiev Prosthetic Plant is located on Frolovskaya Street in Kiev, has workshops in Chernigov (Lyubetskaya Street) and Cherkassy (Franko Street).
This is a deeply unprofitable enterprise, and also has an overdue creditor debt of UAH 34.4 million.
“State-owned enterprises in this industry often cannot withstand competition with private companies. Despite the availability of capacity and qualified personnel, they become unprofitable. That is why they need a strategic investor for development,” explained the head of the State Property Fund Vitaly Koval about the privatization of the enterprise.
A potential investor is obliged to maintain the profile of the enterprise for at least ten years and does not have the right to dismiss employees within six months after the transition property rights.
