the biggest part of mechel’s outstanding debt which hasn’t been restructured is owed to two groups of creditors : $ 500 million to export credit agencies and $ 1 billion to a syndicate of international banks , he added .
this is difficult to explain to shareholders who watched as the price of their shares fell 6 % this week , on release of mechel’s form 20f annual report to the us securities and exchange commission ( sec ) .
another example of the way zyuzin adds assets to the nationalized mechel , but keeps secret how the transactions are funded , and who pays , is the purchase last december of vanino port , on the sea of japan . after years of controversy over the privatization of the state’s control stake in the port , and competition from oligarch groups including vladimir lisin’s united cargo logistics holding and oleg deripaska’s en + , mechel emerged the victor .

speaking at an industry conference this week , mr . putin , the former president and now prime minister , spoke five sentences critical of a russian steel company , mechel , and its billionaire chief executive , igor zyuzin .
if it turns out that these investors are zyuzin and his cyprus companies , whose assets are mechel’s , and they are in turn pledged to secure state loans , then the scheme is a subterfuge , and the port privatization was an elaborate fake . if it turns out that some of the foreign investors are south korean or japanese coal buyers and traders , whose interest in the port is in getting more coal cargoes at a discounted transportation tariff and perhaps at a discount to the coal price benchmark , then mechel’s future revenues are being charged for the asset . either way , mechel is in effect borrowing to buy the asset with trade receivables from related parties .

moscow , april 26 , 2017 ( globe newswire ) - - mechel pao ( moex : mtlr ) ( nyse : mtl ) , a leading russian mining and steel group , announces financial results for the full year 2016 .
russian metals and mining conglomerate mechel was hard at work in 2016 trying to fix its debt troubles . although it ' s still a heavily indebted company , in december it was finally able to restructure its obligations with a trio of large russian banks . it was a slow moving process that picked up steam in the second half of the year . which explains why mechel ' s price advance really only started to take shape in september or so .
according to the latest mechel financial report released this week , the five state banks hold about 53 % of mechel’s rouble debt equivalent to $ 5 . 4 billion ; 50 % of its dollar debt of $ 3 . 3 billion ; and 17 % of its euro - denominated debt equivalent to $ 639 million . the proportion of mechel debt held by the state - controlled banks is in fact higher , because the calculation should include the credits contributed by vtb subsidiaries in austria , germany and france which are participating lenders in the $ 2 billion syndicated loan of september 2010 . rouble bonds worth about $ 2 . 4 billion also benefit from state bank underwriting and repayment guarantees .
actually , the fas launched an investigation into mechel a week before mr putin gave his accusatory speech following complaints by novolipetsk steel , the magnitogorsk iron & steel works ( mmk ) and altai koks , which accused mechel of refusing to supply coal to them for unknown reasons . an investigation was launched and in mid - august the press service of the anti - monopoly agency reported that the company was found guilty of abusing its dominant position on the market .
in december 2010 , mechel announced the collapse of three thickeners out of 30 at the nerungrinsk washing plant , a brunch of yakutugol oao , the subsidiary of mechel mining oao . there were no casualties or injuries . a special commission was set up to determine the reasons for and consequences of the accident . operation at the coking coal wash shop at the nerungrinsk plant was halted . however , the technological line which processes steam coal kept operating as scheduled .
russian metals and mining group mechel said on thursday its net profit was 76 percent down in the first guarter of 2018 , compared to the same period of last year , and totalled 3 . 3 billion roubles ( $ 53 . 71 million ) . mechel ' s earnings before interest , taxes , depreciation , and amortization ( ebitda ) were down 19 percent year - on - year at 18 . 4 billion roubles in the first three months of 2018 .
but mr putin would have none of it . a few hours later he told his ministers , in front of television cameras , that mechel fixed prices , evaded taxes and pushed up inflation , harming the russian people . this stirred memories of stalin ' s denunciations of “saboteurs” and knocked another third off the company ' s value . the next day an explosion in one of mechel ' s mines injured 17 people , and the environmental agency launched an investigation .
in december 2010 , mechel announced the launch of a new production line for steel electrode copper - coated wire at its beloretsk metallurgical plant ( bmp ) subsidiary . the new production line can produce annually 7 . 9 thousand tonnes .
on tuesday , mechel ' s adrs ( american depository receipts ) traded in new york rose by 4 . 3 % , but later the figure was revised downwards to 2 . 3 % . at present , the fas is also investigating the case against evraz holding and the raspadsky ugol company . artemyev told journalists that these companies were facing the same penalties as those imposed on mechel ( 5 % of their turnover ) . the fas intends to close the case against them within the next two weeks . now investors can have confidence that mechel ' s case is not that of yukos and that the group ' s rivals will not take advantage of the situation in order to seize the group .
privately , mechel management has been explaining to its bankers the benefits of the vanino deal , and the strategic relationship between expanding the flow of coal for export from the sakha republic ( yakutia ) mines , adding to the capacity of the state railroad to carry the coal to port , and enlarging vanino itself for the extra trade . according to one bank analyst , “the management has been highlighting a number of tangible benefits for mechel of ‘sort of’ owning vanino , such as the volume guarantee ( there is a high competition from coal exporters to access far east ports ) ; plus vanino is the end destination of bam [ railroad ] , and in this capacity acts as a regulator of the cargo traffic , which makes the entire eastern bit of this railroad more flexible to mechel’s traffic needs ; plus mechel will be saving on port loading charges . even if mechel may have agreed on some discount for its coal as part of the vanino deal , this has to be considered in the context of the benefits they are gaining . last , but not the least , by buying vanino mechel is also saving on its own capex which would go otherwise to expand the capacity of posiet [ port , already owned by mechel ] . vanino bay is still better than posiet as it allows to load larger capacity ships . expansion of posiet would have been a must ( until they had vanino ) in order to ship all the new coal coming from elga mine . [ without the vanino acquisition ] to allow expansion of [ coalmine ] output and target export markets , $ 2 billion plus in investments in the sakha mines would be a waste . ”

air france’s regional caribbean network links pointe à pitre ( guadeloupe ) , fort de france ( martinique ) , cayenne ( french guiana ) , port au prince ( haiti ) , miami ( united states ) and now atlanta ( united states ) . two airbus a320s ( 170 seats ) and crews dedicated to this network operate more than 60 weekly flights between these different economic regional centres .
as a result , air atlanta pulled its group of investors ever deeper into its financial morass . equitable , which had started with an investment of $ 2 . 5 million , had put up a total of $ 33 . 4 million by the time bankruptcy came . aetna , which had also started with a $ 2 . 5 million investment , was tapped for nearly $ 6 million more .

carl e . norman , assistant vice president of finance for csx , acknowledged that mr . young introduced mr . hollis to csx officials , but said mr . hollis ' s relationship with mr . young and other black leaders was not decisive in the company ' s decision to invest . ' ' it may have gotten him in the front door , but after that it was strictly a matter of economics , ' ' mr . norman said . the decision was helped by air atlanta ' s agreement to operate a flight between atlanta and csx ' s greenbriar resort in west virginia , he added .
some decision must be made by tuesday , mr . chowdry said . by then , the company must resume flying into kennedy international airport or risk forfeiture of its landing slots . to prevent that , another of air atlanta ' s creditors , heller financial inc . , has asked to have the kennedy slots sold . mr . chowdry said the new york landing slots were crucial to any attempt to restart the business .
but as part of the deal , klm wanted to include air atlanta flights in the klm system . that would require a bilateral treaty between the united states and the netherlands . even as pressure was being applied for mr . hollis to step aside - publicly from the airline ' s pilots and privately from investors - insiders were convinced that mr . hollis ' s political contacts would be invaluable in setting up treaty talks .
mr . hollis credits some of his accomplishments to his upbringing . his father , a pullman porter for 35 years , and his mother , an official of the atlanta housing authority , always emphasized academic excellence .

the airline ' s brief history is a study in the workings of emerging black capitalism . michael hollis had going for him not only his own considerable talents , but also the ability to tap funds that insurers have set aside to back minority ventures . however , many of the lessons of air atlanta ' s downfall - including the continuing struggle for adequate financing and the efforts of the founder to retain control over everything - are those of small businesses everywhere .
our mission is to provide the atlanta region a safe , secure and cost - competitive gateway to the world that drives economic development , operates with the highest level of customer service and efficiency , and exercises fiscal and environmental responsibility .
hollis later started and sold hanover credit co . he also started blue sky petroleum co . with his brother , the late james b . arnold . they owned dozens of convenience and petroleum retail stores in metro atlanta , saporta wrote .
despite air atlanta ' s continuing red ink , mr . hollis keeps his faith in his marketing strategy . since larger carriers could always undercut his fares , his airline does not compete on price but on quality . its fleet of boeing 727 - l00 ' s has 88 extra - wide seats instead of the standard 129 spaces ; plush gray - and - violet appointments create a soothing environment . waiting passengers enjoy free coffee and newspapers in a lounge with art on the walls .
' ' we opened the doors for him , ' ' mr . kennedy said . mr . hollis draws a salary of $ 75 , 000 a year . since he owns more than 25 percent of air atlanta ' s voting stock , however , a successful public offering would make him a wealthy man . the remainder of the voting stock is held by about 25 associates , composed of black and white executives and the major lenders , with blacks holding a majority of the voting power .
in addition to his brother , mr . hollis is survived by his wife , deena freeman hollis of douglasville ; sisters virginia e . hollis of lithonia and joan hollis mitchell of atlanta ; and another brother , flem h . hollis of roswell .

mr . hollis , a 31 - year - old bachelor , is no expert on operating jet aircraft . he built his airline with a well - researched business plan and the help of a network of friends in atlanta and washington and new york . many are from contacts made at dartmouth .
born at grady memorial hospital , mr . hollis served on both the fulton - dekalb hospital authority and the hospital board . in addition to his work with the hospital , mr . hollis was a founding trustee of clark atlanta university and had served as a member of the emory university board of visitors .

1945 : official corporate name becomes delta air lines , inc . company recognized by national safety council for more than 300 million passenger miles and 10 years of flight without a passenger or crew fatality . c . e . woolman is president and general manager . delta is the first airline to fly living vegetable plants ( 160 , 000 tomato plants ) .
after that assignment , he became vice president for public finance at the new york investment firm oppenheimer & co . , which he left in 1983 . by 1984 , three years after he incorporated the airline , planes were in the air . the airline shuttered in 1987 , but that did not squash mr . hollis’ entrepreneurial spirit , mr . kolber said .
still , industry analysts remain skeptical about mr . hollis ' s plan , noting that other carriers with similar strategies have failed . air one , the first new airline to offer extra service for the business customer , filed for protection under chapter 11 in october . braniff abandoned the approach after heavy losses , but is now turning a profit as a discount operation .
1990 : delta is the first airline to offer md - 11 jet service in the u . s . delta , northwest airlines , and twa combine reservation systems , forming worldspan travel information services . delta and 23 civilian airlines participate in the civil reserve air fleet ( craf ) during desert storm / desert shield from 1990 - 1991 , carrying passengers and military cargo .
early on mr . hollis won cooperation from his formidable competitors in the atlanta market by making successful personal appeals to david c . garrett jr . , chairman of delta , and frank borman of eastern . the carriers agreed to interline agreements - meaning that they now put the small airline ' s schedule in their computer systems , offer joint ticketing and handle its baggage .
mr . hollis ' s confidence remains unshaken . ' ' you have to know your own worth , ' ' he said , recalling that he insisted on an executive ' s title when he joined oppenheimer at the age of 26 . ' ' i would not have gone below vice president , ' ' he said . that was the title he got . p erhaps that confidence helps to explain why air atlanta ' s largest backers - the equitable life assurance society , with $ 15 million invested , and the aetna life insurance company , with $ 7 . 7 million - have continued to dip into their pockets to keep the airline alive . analysts say that equitable and aetna recognize that airlines require time to develop their market . they add that the two insurers have invested too much to pull out now .
after he earned his law degree , mr . hollis ' s career got off to a strong start when jimmy carter named him associate chief counsel of the president ' s commission on the accident at three mile island - in part because of a recommendation from mr . bernhard . mr . hollis traveled widely throughout the country taking depositions ; when the assignment ended , he joined an atlanta law firm .
a 6 - foot - 2 200 - pounder with a deliberate manner , mr . hollis practiced law in atlanta , then joined oppenheimer & company , wall street investment bankers - until he determined there was ' ' a hell of an opportunity ' ' waiting back home for someone who could get an airline off the ground - which mr . hollis decided that he had the skills to do , particularly the money - raising skills .

when he was growing up in atlanta , michael r . hollis recalled recently , the black community abided by 12 commandments , not the standard 10 . the 2 homemade commandments were ' ' thou shalt own thy own home ' ' and ' ' thou shalt send thy sons and daughters to college . ' ' all five of the hollis children attended college , with michael , the youngest , graduating from dartmouth and the university of virginia school of law .
mr . hollis went to dartmouth college , where he graduated with honors , then to the university of virginia school of law , where he became the first black national president of the student division of the american bar association . after law school , he returned to atlanta briefly before being appointed associate chief counsel by then - president jimmy carter to investigate the legal ramifications of the three mile island nuclear power - plant accident near middletown , pa . in 1979 .
at the suggestion of mr . mays , mr . hollis enrolled at dartmouth college , then went to the university of virginia law school . his career got off to a strong start when president jimmy carter named him to the commission investigating the accident at three mile island . when the assignment ended , he joined an atlanta law firm ; in 1979 , at age 26 , he moved to oppenheimer & company as a vice president in the public finance department .
when mr . hollis was 16 , he talked his way into a job in the braves ' public - relations department , was selected as a georgia delegate to the white house conference on youth and spearheaded the organization of young atlantans for maynard jackson when he ran for the u . s . senate in 1969 , before he was elected mayor . mr . hollis accomplished all of this before he graduated from booker t . washington high school , according to a 1985 atlanta journal article .

' ' what attracted us to him initially was his concept , ' ' said brian f . wruble , chief of finance operations at equitable . ' ' it was one of the best thought - out and solidly researched business plans i had ever seen . equitable is not normally a large participant in start - up ventures , but this one struck us as having enormous potential for success . ' '
however , mr . hollis concedes there have been some ' ' growing pains . ' ' in fact , last july , his top management team resigned to protest some of his policies and behavior .
the three - roden a . brandt , the president and chief executive who had been a senior vice president at pan american world airways ; james purcell , the vice president of operations who had been an official with the federal aviation administration , and cheung c . wong , the vice president of marketing who had been system director of pricing for pan am - all resigned at the same time . the executives said they were upset because mr . hollis interfered in the running of the airline , despite what they thought was an agreement that he would stick to finance and policy and leave operations to them .
they also resented that mr . hollis and his friends flew first class , when company policy required the staff to fly coach .
they complained when mr . hollis set up an expensively appointed office at the airport , while keeping a second office and secretary in the city . the dissident executives said mr . hollis was setting a bad example - particularly since many employees were making do with low salaries . some flight attendants , for instance , were earning only $ 11 , 000 a year .
the executives hoped that their criticisms would force the directors to act , but the eight - member board backed their chairman .

' ' the departure of those three was , in my opinion , a blessing , ' ' said mr . jackson .
mr . hollis believes that as founder and head of the airline , he is entitled to sit where he wants and have a comfortable office . after the managers resigned , mr . hollis talked to his workers and he says he received their full support . he recruited neil m . effman to be chief operating officer , but the chairman clarified the chain of command : all key executives report to mr . hollis , and he reserves the right to involve himself in any aspect of the operation .
a second crisis came last april when the airline went to the public market with an offering of 1 million shares of stock to raise $ 22 million . but investors were not interested , and the offering was withdrawn by the underwriter , e . f . hutton & company . undeterred , mr . hollis returned to his private supporters and raised more than $ 25 million .
this kind of backing is a personal tribute to mr . hollis , say his supporters . ' ' he ' s believable ; he has the facts , he is persistent and very positive ; those things have convinced people he can make it , ' ' said william j . kennedy 3d , chairman of the north carolina mutual life insurance company in durham , n . c . , one of the nation ' s largest black - owned businesses . besides investing $ 1 million , mr . kennedy gave mr . hollis access to the top officers at aetna , equitable and the general electric credit corporation , companies that came up with much larger investments .
the airline continues to make progress , thanks to mr . hollis ' s persistence . in a recent victory , he won four of the coveted new slots at new york ' s la guardia airport , which is favored by business travelers . there were 114 requests for the 25 positions .
