The initial public offering (IPO) of RosBusinessConsulting (RBC), which is scheduled for April, will be the first simultaneous placement on two Russian exchanges - MICEX and the RTC, announced the Aton investment company, which acts as the lead manager for RBC. Shares will be issued by RBC Information Systems. "It's going to be the first time a Russian company will attract funds leaning mostly on domestic rather than foreign markets," said Aton Board Chairman Peter Halloran.
