there is simply no information available on what will happen to the shares, so your insistence is irritating. If the shares were dissolved, the other owners (such as the Russian government) would end up with a larger stake.

If a sale is taking place, the question is: to whom and for how much (Rosneft shares have been under fire on Thursday and Friday, along with all the other Russian stocks)

And a big company dumping their sales on the market would add further downward pressure.

It’s really odd this threads insistence that shares are going to be “given” back to the company as the story doesn’t say that and it’s not what it typically means to exit a position.
