"As we previously announced, T-Technologies plans to consolidate up to 100% of the shares of JSC Tochka, one of the largest digital banks for entrepreneurs in Russia, in order to strengthen the group's position in the B2B segment. Today's event is one of the stages of the transaction to consolidate Tochka Bank, the completion of which is expected at the end of 2026.

We will continue to regularly provide the market with information on the progress of the transaction and the realization of synergies," a representative of T-Technologies told Interfax.

Interros said that, as the largest investor in T-Technologies, it supports the group's intention to consolidate up to 100% of Tochka's shares. The holding notes that Tochka Bank will continue to operate under its own license and develop products for entrepreneurs.

VK acquired 25% of the shares of JSC Tochka in Q4 2023 for 11.6 billion rubles. Since acquiring the asset, the group has received dividend income of 4.3 billion rubles.

T-Technologies announced its plans to consolidate up to 100% of the service for entrepreneurs JSC Tochka at the beginning of February 2026. To do this, the group will conduct an additional share issue through a closed subscription in favor of Catalytic People ICLLC (the main owner of Tochka, a joint venture of T-Technologies and Interros) and the group's existing shareholders.
