The General Shareholder Meeting of SMART-HOLDING, held on 28 September, made a decision to appoint Alexey Pertin as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to come into office, which he had held before (2008-2014), on 29 October 2015. Julia Kiryanova, who is currently the acting CEO, will be appointed as the First Deputy CEO from the same date and will be performing in both this role and in the position of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company simultaneously.

The Shareholders expanded the Management Board and decided to discontinue the Supervisory Board of the Company chaired by Alexey Pertin. The decision is to come into effect from 29 October 2015. This is made for more efficient management of the Company in the period difficult for the economy of the country. The Management Board, the Company’s collegiate management body, will be the centre for building up of the holding company's development strategy and its implementation.

The State Budget of Ukraine Received 41% Less Taxes from Smart Holding in the First 9 Months of 2025

As of January–September 2025, the Group’s companies paid 543 million UAH in taxes, which is 41% less than in the same period last year (915 million UAH).
