According to Vasyl Pilan, Yeremieiev's assistant, "he does not know how many shares Yeremieiev's company currently has at its disposal." "To obtain information about the shares, you need to call 'Continium,'" advised Ihor Yeremieiev. "The company's managers are currently dealing with this issue and will provide all the information."
Ahnesa Monashko, head of the investment department at "Continium," said she is not authorized to provide this information. "But if it was officially stated somewhere that the company participated in a transaction with the shares of the cardboard and roofing material combine, then that is indeed the case," she added.
As clarified at the Lutsk Cardboard and Roofing Material Plant, acting chairman of the board Andrii Emshanov recently resigned of his own accord, and accordingly there is no one to comment on the fact of the transaction. "No one has been appointed to this position. The enterprise is currently without a director," they reported in the plant's reception office.
Andrii Emshanov did not wish to comment for now on the upcoming shareholders' meeting of the enterprise and the change of owner. But he promised to make information about this public after the meeting.
In January 2004, the State Property Fund sold 25.55% of the shares of the Lutsk KRK on the Kyiv International Stock Exchange to the company "West-Invest" at nominal value — UAH 3.372 million. The transaction was facilitated by Deputy Head of the SPF Vadym Vasyliev (a friend of Mykhailo Yevsieiev).
However, Tetiana Haniuk, former director of the company "West-Invest," says that "the stake is still with Mr. Yeremieiev." Moreover, she asserts that the company "West-Invest" did not work with the companies "Investindustriia" and "Astron-Fund." "I did not work with these companies, so I cannot tell you anything," she says. It is quite likely that the companies were sold through transit stock companies. "I am the owner of 'Continium,' but I have nothing to do with the purchase and sale of the shares," says Vasyl Pilan.
The Lutsk Cardboard and Roofing Material Combine produces about 70% of the total volume of soft roofing and polymer materials (roofing felt, linoleum, cardboard). About 90% of the products are sold on the domestic market. The other 10% are exported to CIS and Baltic countries.
In 2000, the Lutsk KRK was included in the list of enterprises of strategic importance for the economy and security of the state. On December 19, 2001, at the initiative of the combine, an anti-dumping investigation was launched regarding the import of roofing felt from Belarus.
