In mid-February 2024, Alexey Shelobkov, who is also the head of the IT equipment manufacturer Yadro, became the new CEO of ICS Holding. Shelobkov also headed IKS JSC, which will become the new management company ICS Holding.

The transfer of shares in IT companies to management is associated with a forced need, according to experts interviewed by Vedomosti. In the traditional situation, growing IT-Business, shareholders expect to bring it to the stock exchange or sell it to a strategic investor, says Alexander Volchkov, a consultant and founder of Eastway Capital. But for Russian companies, access to foreign exchanges is closed, foreigners cannot buy a business, so only the sale of the company to management in debt remains.

According to Russoft President Valentin Makarov, the founders either leave Russia and transfer the rights to the company to managers under the condition of returning their rights when restoring the political situation and lifting sanctions, or actually sell the company to management, which undertakes to pay them its value at a discount for a certain period.^[1]
