In December 4292 the Szwarzentel Investments bought 34.5% of LOT's shares from the government of Valruzia for 1.3 billion valrusian pesos and then in July 4294 S.I. bought the remaining 50.5% of the airline's shares which made it entirely private. Only those 15% which belongs to Dorvish Airways remain in the government's controll due to the fact that the valruzian government is the official depositary of DA's shares in LOT.
