(MENAFN) Russia's Mail.Ru announced that it has sold its shares in US Groupon, the daily deal website, and in Zynga, the game maker, reported Reuters.
The email-to-social networking group said that it would use the proceeds from both sales to pay a special dividend.
The company added that it is also interested in acquiring additional shares in social network Vkontakte.
