Meta Data

There is no data on the company's website about the ownership structure, therefore the information about the management resulted from searches in open sources/public registries. Also, we have also used the media group's press-service messages, that are published on the website and in open (public registries confirm this information).
The ownership structure's data were presented on 31 December 2015, but according to the Forbs-Ukraina report, Valery Khoroshkovsky sold his share and thus Dmitry Firtash became the sole owner. The information on shares was published by the company. Yet it there might be inconsistencies due to involvement of foreign (off-shore) companies, and their current ownership structure is unknown.
