DILON d.o.o. IS NOT SELLING SLOVENIAN STEEL INDUSTRY

Press release

The content of the article "Russian Oligarch Selling Slovenian Steel Industry," published on May 15, 2024, on Necenzurirano.si, contains falsely stated facts that individuals associated with Zubicke's circle have begun to check the interest in purchasing SIJ in international markets and other related information. DILON d.o.o., holding a 72.2% stake in SIJ d.d., neither plans nor conducts activities for the sale of SIJ d.d. The company also has not sought nor engaged consultants to lead a sales process, as alleged. Activities are carried out by SIJ d.d. for potential financing purposes of the SIJ Group's expansion, in line with the company's plans.

 

By mandate of Dilon d.o.o.
