der deutschen Bundesbank, dem endlich mal ganz konkret die Bedingungen eines ADR-Tausches nach Erteilung der Sondergenehmigung zu entnehmen sind. Diese Antragstellung hat auch noch den Vorteil, daß bei Ablehnung der Sondergenehmigung dagegen vor einem deutschen Verwaltungsgericht geklagt werden kann. Wie ich dem Schreiben entnehme, muß man aber für die Umwandlung unbedingt ein russisches Depot haben, wo dann die in der NSD verwahrten Aktien eingebucht werden und VERKAUFT werden könnten. Das ist natürlich etwas dubios, da wir ja alle wissen, daß die russische Zentralbank den Verkauf russischer Akten von Eigentümern aus "unfreundlichen" Staaten untersagt hat. Für mich stellt sich die Frage ohnehin nicht, da ich sicherlich weder Gazprom noch weitere russische Werte gezwungener Maßen unter jedlichem realen Wert verkaufen werde. Auf meine Anfrage bei der Gazprombank erhielt ich innerhalb von 12 Std. die folgende Mitteilung, die beinhaltet, daß weiterhin auf meinem C-Konto/Depot nur Gazprom-Aktien im vereinfachten Verfahren eingebucht werden können. Würde ich mich mittels Personalausweis in Moskau legitimieren, dann würden sie auch jede andere russische Aktie in mein Depot aufnehmen. Das werde ich mir überlegen, da die für meine anderen Aktien zuständige Citibank Moskau ziemlich unfreundlich aufgetreten ist. Eine solche Reise, vom Abenteuercharakter mal abgesehen, lohnt finanziell natürlich nur bei einer Gewissen Anlagesumme. Aber auch da sieht man mal wieder, wie anlegerfeindlich die EU und die Berliner Politik eingestellt ist.
Hier die Antwort von Gazprombank:

I own the shares of Lukoil, Sberbank, Gazprom Neft (any other issuer), can I transfer these shares to a depot account opened in a simplified manner? Gazprombank's depository is a custodian under Gazprom's depositary receipts program, therefore, without identifying the client, it can only credit shares of Gazprom PJSC received as a result of conversion of Gazprom's depositary receipts to a Type C securities account opened in a simplified manner. If you wish to credit shares of other issuers (Lukoil, Sberbank, Rushydro, etc.) (hereinafter referred to as Other Issuers) to a Type C securities account opened in a simplified manner, you must apply, i.e. physically visit the Russian office of Gazprombank, which provides depository services (link to the offices https://www.gazprombank.ru/corporate/...y_services/depository_network /) , and pass identification (for more details - in our previous answers). Also, in order to credit shares of Other issuers, in the Gazprombank office you will need to submit an order (f. PR-04.P) to accept shares of Other issuers to securities account (hereinafter referred to as the Order). You will be assisted in filling out the Order at the Gazprombank office. Please note that only offices listed under the previously specified link can accept Orders. To submit an Order to receive securities of Other issuers, you will need: To obtain information from the broker about the dates of the transaction and settlements indicated by the issuer of depositary receipts in the SWIFT-message MT542 sent to the Russian depository which keeps an account of depository programs for the delivery of shares (have to be received from the issuer of DR), and as well as printouts/scans of the report on write-off of depositary receipts from the client's account in a foreign organization indicating the date of write-off and printout/scan of SWIFT-message MT542 (if possible). to clarify the data on the actual date of the transaction and the settlement date (fields from the SWIFT message SET and TRAP), these parameters will be used by you when sending the order f. PR-04.P
To contact the office of Gazprombank and submit an order f.PR-04.P to accept shares. In the order it should be obligatorily indicated the correct dates of the transaction and settlements which are the mandatory parameters for matching in the Central depository -NSD the Bank's orders to accept the shares with the order of the depositary supplying the shares (the Russian depository that keeps an account of this issuer's depository programs). The order should be accompanied by a printout of the report on write-off of depositary receipts from the client's account in a foreign organization indicating the date of write-off (if available) and a printout of the SWIFT message MT542 (if possible) containing the instruction of the issuer of depositary receipts to the Russian depositary which keeps an account of depositary programs for the delivery of shares. Please note that in case the date of the transaction and settlements is indicated in the order incorrectly, then most probably this order will be refused by Central Securities Depository of Russia (NSD) due to the absence in the system of NSD of depository counter orders supplying shares according to relevant transaction and settlement dates. Please also note that the validity period of the Order submitted by you for the registration of securities f.PR-04.P is 30 days, after which, if the correct instructions were not submitted by your counterparty, this order is canceled and you will need to contact the Gazprombanks’ office again and submit the order f.PR-04P for securities account taking the above recommendations into account.
