MOSCOW – Investors from Britain bought almost 50% of Polyus shares sold by the gold producer's controlling shareholder, according to deal bookrunner VTB Capital.

Polyus said on Thursday that its controlling shareholder, Polyus Gold International Ltd (PGIL), had sold a 3.84% stake in the company via an accelerated bookbuilding (ABB).
