The EBRD is gradually scaling down its presence in Russia and is to shut five of its seven offices this year, sources at the bank told Reuters in October, following a freeze on lending there since the Ukraine crisis.
Sovcombank is Russia's 17th biggest bank by assets according to Interfax data while Rosevrobank is ranked as 48th. Following the deal, Sovcombank will hold a 45 percent stake in Rosevrobank.
The EBRD was also in talks over a possible sale of a 15 percent stake in mid-sized Russian bank SDM to Expobank, two sources close to the talks told Reuters earlier this month.
The EBRD lost its 11.75 percent stake in Russia's Promsvyazbank after the central bank bailed out the bank late last year.
