“So I just recently met with the leaders and major shareholders of Yandex.” Just two days ago, ”Putin said during a teleconference at the Proektoria forum.
The Russian leader noted that Yandex has interesting, large-scale projects together with foreign partners.
“Our (Russia. - RT ) competitive advantage lies in mathematics,” RIA Novosti quoted Putin as saying.
In mid-November, it was reported that the board of directors of the Russian company Yandex recommended the adoption of amendments aimed at changing the structure of corporate governance. It is noted that the changes, in particular, imply the creation of a special fund, which will be transferred to the "golden share" of Sberbank.
It is specified that the renewed share will give the right to nominate two of the 12 directors to the Yandex board of directors and block the consolidation of 10% or more of economic or voting interest in the same hands.
Board members nominated by the foundation will also be members of the new public interest committee. This body will consider a limited number of issues related to company management.
A spokesman for the Russian leader Dmitry Peskov said that the creation of the Public Interest Fund in the Yandex management structure was not coordinated with the Kremlin, but the president’s administration was monitoring corporate changes in the company.
