Uzbek businessman Oybek Tursunov is reportedly acquiring real estate and various operational assets belonging to the mobile operator Perfectum for a total of 98.37 billion sums, inclusive of value-added tax. The corresponding transaction was supposedly approved by the shareholders of Rubicon Wireless Communication, which operates under the Perfectum brand, during an extraordinary general meeting held on October 16. Official details regarding this corporate decision were subsequently published on the Single Corporate Information Portal on October 23.

According to the released documentation, the company is selling its central Tashkent headquarters—housing the main office—along with 2,012 units of fixed assets to Oybek Tursunov through two separate sales agreements. The primary subject of the transaction is the real estate complex located at 21 Taras Shevchenko Street in the Mirabad district, occupying a land plot of 0.72 hectares. The complex comprises four buildings with a total area of 10,479 square meters, of which 8,677 square meters constitute usable floor space.

The structures reportedly contain 57 rooms, including 47 office spaces, with the real estate complex valued at 65.97 billion sums including VAT. Additionally, Perfectum is allegedly selling 2,012 units of basic assets valued at 32.41 billion sums, although a detailed inventory of these assets was omitted from the publicly disclosed texts. The aggregate value of the entire sales package thus reaches approximately 98.4 billion sums, approved unanimously by shareholders holding over 572 million voting shares.

Interestingly, this asset divestment was greenlit just three days prior to the international group VEON announcing its acquisition of Perfectum itself. On October 19, VEON—the parent company of Beeline Uzbekistan—claimed to have signed an agreement to acquire 100% of Rubicon Wireless Communication for roughly $207 million, including existing debts. Regulatory authorities have stipulated that the operator must maintain its operational independence for at least three years following the buyout.
