Alstom to exit Russia's TMH by year-end -Ifax cites TMH boss
investing.comMOSCOW (Reuters) — France's Alstom (EPA:ALSO) is set to sell its 20% stake in Transmashholding (TMH) back to the Russian railcar manufacturer by the end of the year, the Interfax news agency cited TMH head Kirill Lipa as saying on Friday.

«By the end of the year,» Lipa said, responding to a question about the deal's timeline. «We are not disclosing this information.»
Alstom owned a 20% stake in TMH as a capital investment. Last year it said there was no material business nor operational link between it and TMH.
