According to RB.RU with reference to the data of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (USRUL), on September 5, 2024, VK Technologies JSC received 99% in Digital Transformation Plus LLC, and on October 10, 2024 increased its share to 100%.

In addition, VK Technologies received direct control over a 0.1% stake in VK Digital Technologies LLC (VK Tech), 99.9% of which belongs to Digital Transformation Plus. On September 12, 2024, JSC acquired 25% in Gudt LLC, a joint venture between VK and Lanit. The final stage of consolidation was the transfer on October 1, 2024 of a 100% stake in the tourist service of VK Travel LLC.

VK representatives described these changes as technical actions aimed at improving efficiency and speeding up the decision-making process in the company.

VK Technologies JSC, created in November 2021, initially did not conduct operating activities. The main area of ​ ​ activity of the company is the development of computer and software.

The head of the analytical department of Amarkets Artem Deyev noted that the transition to the structure of the joint-stock company can contribute to an increase in the level of transparency and trust on the part of partners and customers, since JSCs are subject to stricter reporting requirements.

Experts suggest that the restructuring may be related to VK's desire to optimize its operations in conditions of financial difficulties. According to Forbes, the company's net loss in 2023 amounted to ₽34,3 billion.^[1]
