Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Ivan Tavrin. Mr. Tavrin is a Russian entrepreneur with substantial experience in building, operating and investing in businesses, predominantly in TMT and consumer industries, both in the private and public markets. Mr. Tavrin is a founder of UTH Russia Limited, or UTH, one of the largest independent media broadcasting groups in Russia, which comprises 3 television networks, including leading musical channel Muz-TV, reality TV channel U and the Disney Channel (Russia) owned pursuant to a joint venture with The Walt Disney Company, or Disney (NYSE: DIS). Mr. Tavrin is an indirect controlling shareholder in a leading regional radio network “Vyberi Radio”, in the largest digital out-of-home advertising operator in Russia “Gallery” and in a leading telecommunications infrastructure provider “Vertical”. His past experience includes serving, from 2012 to 2016, as the chief executive officer of PJSC MegaFon (“MegaFon”), the second largest telecommunications operator in Russia as of December 31, 2016, having led its US$1.8 billion initial public offering and dual listing on the London Stock Exchange and Moscow Exchange in 2012. He also served as a board member at Mail.ru Group Limited (“Mail.ru Group”), one of the largest companies in the Russian-speaking internet market.
While we may pursue an acquisition opportunity in any industry or sector and in any region, we intend to focus on industries that complement our management team’s background so we can capitalize on their ability to identify, acquire and operate a business. We therefore intend to focus on companies in the telecommunications infrastructure, internet and technology and consumer goods and services sectors operating in Russia (which may include a business based in Russia which has operations or opportunities outside of Russia or a business based outside of Russia which has operations or opportunities in Russia); however, we may decide to enter into an initial business combination with a target business that is not based in, and does not have any operations or opportunities in Russia.
