KIEV, April 1 – Attempts to conduct initial pubic offerings of shares in 2010 will be made by around 20 Ukrainian companies, although less than one third of them will be a success, according to Yevhen Cherviachenko, vice president for corporate finances at BG Capital Investment Company.

"The sum of funds that could be raised [during IPOs] exceeds $300 million, but the share of attractive investment histories of high quality, which could expect be successful, is less than 30%," he said at the Attraction of Capital on European Stock Exchanges discussion held by the company in Kiev on Wednesday.
