Russia’s Uralkali (MCX:URKA)(LON:URALL), the world’s largest potash miner, may delist its shares and merge with Uralchem, one of the company’s main shareholders.
According to an article published Monday by local newspaper Vedomosti (in Russian), Uralchem’s co-owner and main shareholder Dmitry Mazepin, would become the potash firm’s top stakeholder if the merger happened.
