The 10,082 shares represent 0.1 percent of the total stock capital of the leading Croatian oil and gas company.
Later in the day, MOL too reported about receiving a total of 10,082 INA shares following its public offer to INA small shareholders in early December to acquire their shares.
The offer could be accepted in the period from 15 December 2010 to 14 January 2011. The payment deadline is 31 January.
After the implementation of this General Offer, MOL's stake in INA is to increase from 47.16 percent to 47.26 percent.
After MOL made the general offer to buy INA shares in a Capital Market Announcement in early December, HANFA temporarily suspended trading in INA shares on the Zagreb Stock Exchange (ZSE). The suspension was lifted on 14 December 2010 when pension funds started buying INA shares on the ZSE at the price of HRK 2,830. In the subsequent period, the price of INA shares climbed to reach a record high price of HRK 3,550 per share on 18 January 2011.
A total of 513,860 INA shares (5.14 percent) changed hands on the ZSE in that period.
MOL's offer referred to the 800,910 shares held by institutional and small shareholders or slightly over eight percent of INA shares.
INA's stock capital is divided in ten million shares with MOL and the Croatian government being the two biggest stock-holders with a 47.16 percent stake and a 44.84 percent stake respectively.
According to the Central Depository and Clearing Company's statistics of 18 January, the AZ mandatory pension fund holds 201,444 INA shares (2.01 percent).
The PBZ custodian account holds 93,589 shares (0.94 percent).
The Raiffeisen mandatory pension fund has 80,000 shares (0.80 percent).
The PBZ Croatia Osiguranje mandatory pension fund is ranked sixth with 59,330 shares (0.59 percent).
The Erste Plavi mandatory pension fund follows with 45,872 shares (0.46 percent).
The four mandatory pension funds hold a 3.86 percent interest in INA.
In July 2003, the Croatian government sold 25 percent plus one share in INA to MOL at the price of 505 million dollars. Consequently the Hungarian company became a strategic partner in the Croatian group.
MOL became the largest individual shareholder in the autumn of 2008 when its offer to buy INA shares at the price of HRK 2,800 per share was accepted by nearly 27,000 shareholders. At the time MOL bought more than 2.2 million shares, or 22.15 percent, whereby its stake in INA rose to 47.16 percent.
