As a result of the restructuring, OJSC LSR Group has retained the ownership of the most profitable assets, and is the sole shareholder in most of them:

- OOO Aeroc – 100%
- OJSC Aeroc Obukhiv – 97.3%
- CJSC Scanex - 100%

The AEROC brand ownership title is retained by OJSC LSR Group.

Alexander Vakhmistrov, the CEO and the Chairman of the Executive Committee of LSR Group, commented:

“The Baltic States are not the strategic geographical region for LSR Group. Also, the difficult economic situation in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia which occurred even before the global crisis of 2008 – 2009 makes it impossible to refer to our assets there as profitable. This deal allows us fully concentrate our resources on our strategic markets to ensure sustained growth of our business.”
