The idea of ​​integration between the two industry leaders wasfirst publicly presented last June. The parties have now confirmed the upcoming deal. Oleg Tinkov noted that he considers the process to be a merger of the two giants, and not a sale.

By preliminary agreement, each TCS Group share will cost Yandex $27.64. In this case, 50% of the payment will be made in cash, and 50% – Yandex shares.

According to Yandex, the deal must be approved by shareholders, whose meeting date has not yet been set.

The possible deal was announced several months after Yandex ended its partnership with Sberbank, Russia's largest lender, and placed Yandex.Money under its management.
