The Federal Antimonopoly Service received a request from Kelwin Limited to obtain preliminary consent to acquire a stake in an unnamed company engaged in “retail trade primarily food products, including drinks and tobacco products."

Kelvin Limited is part of the structure of the largest retailer in Russia - X5 Retail Group (develops the Pyaterochka, Perekrestok and Karusel chains), a company representative said earlier: on behalf of this company, X5 Retail Group submitted applications for the purchase of regional chains.

As a source familiar with the situation explained to RBC, we are talking about X5 Retail Group's intention to acquire the O'Key supermarket chain, owned by the group of companies of the same name. At the time of publication, the press services of X5 Retail Group and O'Key did not respond to RBC's request answered. However, after a request, X5 Retail Group announced at London stock exchange that she had submitted a corresponding petition to the FAS. Later, “OK” made a similar disclosure of information on the stock exchange.

As of October 27, 2017, the Okey group included 37 supermarkets and 72 hypermarkets under the Okey brand, as well as the Da! from 60 stores. At the end of 2016, the group was the seventh food retailer in terms of revenue after X5 Retail Group, Magnit, Dixy, Lenta and Metro Cash & Carry, according to RBC Market Research data.

The bulk of OK's revenue is provided by hyper- and supermarkets, which form one division. For the nine months of this year, the revenue of the two formats amounted to 118.2 billion rubles, discounters "Yes!" - only 7.2 billion rubles. But the business of discounters almost doubled in January-September, and the income of hypermarkets and supermarkets decreased by 0.9%. Comparable sales of these two formats for nine months decreased by 3.7%, but discounters increased by 62%.

But yes!" does not yet bring operating profit to the group. At the end of the first half of 2017 (latest available data), discounters had negative EBITDA. For hyper- and supermarkets, profitability on this indicator reaches 5.6%.

At the beginning of October, O’Key, in a presentation for investors, specified that based on the results of the first half of the year, supermarkets accounted for 10% of the retailer’s total revenue. General trade area this format is equal to 47.6 thousand sq. m, which is 8% of the retail space of all formats of the group. The retailer owns 18 thousand square meters. m of supermarket retail space.

For the supermarket segment, this deal will be major; it is comparable to the recent deal to lease out Seventh Continent supermarkets to a number of federal chains, notes INFOLine-Analytics CEO Mikhail Burmistrov. According to him, the cost operating business"O'Key", which includes 37 supermarkets, whose revenue for the nine months of 2017 amounted to just under 13 billion rubles, may amount to up to 4 billion rubles, and up to another 4 billion rubles. real estate owned by “OK” may cost. Depending on the configuration of the transaction, the price of “OK” can vary from 4 billion to 8 billion rubles. (from $68.7 million to $137.3 million at current rates), he believes.

The main owners of Okey are the founders of the group, Dmitry Korzhev and Dmitry Trotsky (each indirectly owns, as of December 31, 2016, 23.49% authorized capital), as well as their partner Boris Volchek (28.02%).

The owners of the O'Key retailer plan to sell their stake in the chain, Vedomosti reported in December 2016, citing sources familiar with the negotiation participants. Among the possible buyers with whom negotiations were conducted at that time were Auchan and Lenta. O'Key shareholders expected to earn 110 billion rubles for the company. ($1.8-2 billion), Delovoy Peterburg claimed in January 2017, naming Magnit, X5 Retail Group and Auchan among the contenders.

At the end of the trading day on Tuesday, October 31, the capitalization of OK on the London Stock Exchange was $645.8 million. At the end of the day on Wednesday, November 1, the capitalization of OK increased after the announcement of the deal by 8.3 %, up to $699.6 million.

In March 2017, Miodrag Boroevich was appointed as the new general director of the O'Key hyper- and supermarkets department. RBC's source then stated that discounters could be spun off into a separate business, for the development of which the option of attracting an investor is also not excluded.

Having already announced the sale of supermarkets, O'Key announced that it would focus on the development of hypermarkets and discount stores. It is logical for OK to abandon the supermarket business, since it has never been strategic for the group, Burmistrov believes, adding that now the company needs money to open new discounters and renovate hypermarkets (including the implementation of projects to rent out part of the space in rental of the "Family" network).

In the fourth quarter of 2016, X5 Retail Group regained its title as the largest Russian retailer by revenue. Over the nine months of this year, X5's revenue grew by 26.2%, to RUB 933.3 billion. Comparable sales rose 6.1% during the period.

The capitalization of X5 Retail Group on Tuesday, October 31, on the London Stock Exchange reached $11.1 billion; at the end of the day on November 1, it remained unchanged.

Russian residents are familiar with the X5 Retail Group company from such stores and hypermarkets as Pyaterochka, Perekrestok and Karusel. Today it is one of the largest grocery retail chains, with stores represented in 5 regions of Russia: from Tyumen to St. Petersburg.

The chosen strategy makes it possible to meet the requirements of the broadest segments of the Russian population and create unique offers for every buyer.

REQUIREMENT
carrying out an inspection and elimination of violations in the Pyaterochka TS (Agrotorg LLC - X5 Retail Group) in the city of Noyabrsk due to a gross violation of the legislation of the Russian Federation

This requirement is a simple and clear signal, which is a statement on behalf of many or all employees of Pyaterochka stores in the city of Noyabrsk, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, labor and civil rights who are violated and who are forced to obey the illegal demands of their directors under the threat of dismissal and loss of earnings. Therefore, the response to this requirement should not be written, but effective. The depth of the investigation and the severity of the violations identified are sufficient to attract the attention of all or one addressee, and will force officials to conduct an inspection, bring the organization of labor and the operation of stores to the requirements of the current legislation of Russia and make personnel decisions.

Having an active life position and a heightened sense of justice, a study was conducted of the Pyaterochka retail chain in the city of Noyabrsk, the administration of which is guided by the “Declaration in the field of protection of human rights of the X5 Retail Group” (https://www.x5.ru/ru/PublishingImages/ Pages/Investors/RegulatoryDocuments/x5-zashita-prav.pdf and the “Code of Business Conduct and Ethics” (https://www.x5.ru/ru/PublishingImages/Pages/Investors/RegulatoryDocuments/Code_of_business_conduct_X5_16.12.2015.pdf These documents must create a special corporate culture when organizing work and serving customers.

It was decided to visit all the stores in the chain and talk to employees about the availability of vacancies and working conditions. We visited 7 stores in the city of Noyabrsk: in the Fortuna shopping center on the street. Vysotskogo 11, Metro Plaza shopping center on the street. Dzerzhinsky 2, on the street. Sovetskaya 6, TD "Magnus" on the street. Sovetskaya 31, shopping center "Mira 1" on Mira Ave. 1, shopping center "Fregat" on the street. Lenina 38, on the street. Kholmogorskaya 74. Communication took place with one or more employees of each of these stores - with sales clerks, cashiers, store directors and their deputies. There are no merchandise experts in the chain's stores (their functions have been transferred to directors) and controllers (X5 has given any willing citizen and non-citizen of Russia the opportunity to steal from the stores of the Pyaterochka retail chain without the right of detention and inspection by store employees - all financially responsible persons, because otherwise they may be subject to criminal charges criminal cases under the article “Illegal deprivation of a person’s freedom, not related to his abduction” and with suspension from work).

All interlocutors, employees of Pyaterochka stores in Noyabrsk, disclosed their information because they wanted to help with getting a job and they did not assume that a decision would be made to publish this letter. Please, when you look for an approach to Pyaterochka employees during the inspection, then really guarantee their safety and protection from the threats of the directors. The simplest and most effective protection for an employee from harassment by a director is the dismissal of the director, or the director and his deputy. When it is established that the supervisor was the saboteur, then the supervisor must be fired and replaced.

We list the oral complaints of Pyaterochka employees in Noyabrsk:

1) There are no monthly work schedules for cashier salespeople; there is no written acquaintance with the work schedules. Directors verbally talk today about the time to go to work tomorrow.

2) The actual working hours of cashiers in 2/2 mode: from the opening of the store to its closing. All stores in the Pyaterochka shopping center in Noyabrsk are open from 9:00 to 22:00, that is, stores and cashiers work 13 hours. Work time with operating mode 2/2, it is tabulated as 9 hours and 45 minutes. Add to this time one hour for a lunch break, then you get 10 hours and 45 minutes of presence at the workplace. And directors require cashier salespeople to remain at their workplace for 13 hours. It turns out that each salesperson-cashier has unpaid overtime of 2 hours and 15 minutes each shift. Thus, for 15 shifts per month, each cashier-seller works for free (forced under threat of dismissal) for 33 hours and 45 minutes. This should be considered as gross violation requirements Labor Code RF.

3) The rest period for Pyaterochka employees must be established in the collective agreement and indicated in the monthly work schedule. None of the employees were familiar with the collective agreement. In fact, workers have 5-10 minutes for “lunch”, and then continue to work in trading floor with free overtime of more than 2 hours for each shift. This is a serious violation.

4) There is no trade union at Pyaterochka. Where is the trade union in X5, where are the trade union leaders to protect the rights of workers? In 2018, X5 Retail Group has more than 13 thousand Pyaterochka stores, tens of thousands of employees throughout Russia and no information about trade unions. Nobody protects the rights of workers. This is a gross violation of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. If there is no trade union, then collective agreement No.

5) Store directors strive to hire cashiers from their nation. With its tolerance, X5 turns trading enterprises- Pyaterochka stores in the Asian market retail sales without rules and without recognition of trade legislation.

6) Store directors employ people who abuse alcohol. This disrupts the work of stores and increases the load on other sober cashiers, worsens the quality of customer service, and makes stores unfocused on customers. There are not enough workers in the stores and there is a high staff turnover.

7) The peculiarities of working with the central cash register of stores and with operational cash desks give grounds to assume the presence of violations of tax legislation. Receipts and expenses cash orders are not properly documented and logged. The exchange fund is not registered by orders and journal entries.

8) Losses due to delay are large. Directors do not control the timing, quality and quantity of goods. Local inventories are not carried out or are carried out formally, incorrectly, incompletely, and additions are made.

9) All Pyaterochka stores in Noyabrsk employ people who do not have medical books and did not pass the medical examination.

According to employees of the Pyaterochka stores in Noyabrsk, in addition to numerous disadvantages, there is one more disadvantage: wage very low and unworthy of a working person.

We believe that due to the incompetence of the administrative and service personnel There are reports in the federal media that “a siege survivor died in Pyaterochka” and “Pyaterochka workers locked a teenager in a refrigerator - they illegally deprived him of his freedom,” etc.

The Pyaterochka TS stores in the city of Noyabrsk do not comply with the requirements of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other current legislation.

In connection with the above, WE DEMAND:

Organize verification of the stated facts. Eliminate identified violations.
Initiate administrative proceedings.
Identify the perpetrators and bring them to administrative and disciplinary liability. Dismiss all those responsible under the relevant articles of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Make other decisions in accordance with current legislation, the rights and responsibilities of inspection officials.

Everyone knows that the problems outlined above are systemic and apply to all or almost all retail chain stores owned by Agrotorg LLC - X5 Retail Group, in all cities of Russia, and not just in the city of Noyabrsk: https://otrude.net /employers/25794 - employee reviews.

DO NOT BUY goods in the stores of the Pyaterochka, Karusel, and Perekrestok retail chains, where slave labor is used.

DO NOT RECOMMEND to your friends and acquaintances to look for work in Pyaterochka stores in Noyabrsk. You will still have to look for another job, because low wages, unpaid overtime and incompetent managers will soon lead any normal employee to the decision to resign at his own request.
