VTB has signed a framework agreement with Societe Generale to sell VTB's 10% stake in Rosbank. Following the transaction, VTB no longer owns any shares in Rosbank.

The transaction is expected to complete in 4Q 2013.

Herbert Moos, Deputy President and Deputy Chairman of VTB Management Board, said: "We are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with Societe Generale. The sale of VTB's stake in Rosbank before the end of 2013 was a strategic goal for VTB, and I am happy that we have found a solution in the interests of both VTB and Societe Generale that will allow both banks to concentrate on growing their core businesses."
