The Danish company Carlsberg announced the sale of its Russian assets, including the Baltika brewer, the correspondent reports The Moscow Post.
So, as part of the Carlsberg transaction, Baltika completely leaves the capital, receiving monetary compensation in exchange, as well as the Baltic shares in its subsidiaries in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan – Carlsberg Kazakhstan and Carlsberg Azerbaijan.
Although the amount of the transaction is not indicated in the company’s statement, Carlsberg plans to disclose it in his financial report for 2024.
