MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian oil giant Rosneft ROSN.MM said on Tuesday that the Qatar Investment Authority sovereign wealth fund would pay around 3.7 billion euros ($4.23 billion) for a half of a 14.16 percent stake in the company.
The QIA would become the third-largest Rosneft shareholder as a result of the deal after the Russian government and British oil major BP BP.L, the company added. Trader Glencore GLEN.L would retain a 0.6 percent stake.
