MOSCOW, March 1 (Reuters) - U.S. investment firm BlackRock has reduced its stake in precious metals producer Polymetal International to 7.45% from 9.91%, the gold and silver miner said on Friday.
Polymetal last month said it had agreed to sell its Russian assets to a Siberian gold miner for about $3.7 billion, a deal forced at a knock-down price by repercussions from the conflict in Ukraine.
BlackRock did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The U.S. fund had doubled its equity position in Polymetal in March 2022 as the company's shares lost around 70% in a few days following Moscow's launch of what it calls a "special military operation" in Ukraine.
Trading in London was suspended and Polymetal subsequently moved its domicile to Kazakhstan from Jersey, delisted from the London Stock Exchange and relisted in Astana.
Polymetal said in January that Russian investment company ICT Holding had sold its 23.9% stake in the company to a consortium led by the Omani government.
