According to Fixygen, Siroko Finance LLC, which provides factoring services and extends loans to individuals—and in which Serhiy Tihipko, one of the largest shareholders in the Ukrainian financial market, indirectly controls 20% of the shares—has fully placed a UAH 50 million Series C bond issue without conducting a public offering.
As indicated in information on the website of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC), the commission registered the report on the results of the issuance on August 18 of this year, although the issuance had originally been registered on July 17 of this year.
The face value of each bond is 1,000 UAH. Information on other parameters of the Series “C” issue is not yet available.
In July 2025, the NSSMC registered a report on the issuance of the debut series of five-year Series “A” bonds “Siroko Finance” Series “A” bonds totaling 20 million UAH with a six-month offer period and an interest rate of 17% per annum during the first six months of circulation, with quarterly interest payments. The list of 141 participants in the bond offering included 132 individuals, among them: Oleksandr Bandurko, Serhiy Belashov, Ihor Voronin, Anatoliy Holubchenko, Andriy Gubskyi, Rajiv Gupta, Oles Dovgyi, Volodymyr Dubey, Volodymyr Zhmak, Volodymyr Zagoriy, Vyacheslav Kapustin, Oleksandr Katsuba, Serhiy Koretskyi, Ihor Nikonov, Lev Partskhaladze, Illia Rybchych, Serhiy Tihipko, Heorhiy Tsagareishvili, Pavlo Tsaruk, Oleksandr Shlapak, and Mykhailo Shelemba.
In February 2026, the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC) registered a report on the issuance of “Siroko Finance” Series B five-year bonds in the amount of 30 million hryvnias, also with a six-month maturity and an interest rate of 17% per annum for the first six months of circulation, with quarterly interest payments. Several companies were listed among the participants in the placement, including those from the “TAS” group.
The resolutions on the issuance of these two series stated that the funds raised were to be used to provide loans, including on the terms of a financial loan. For subsequent periods, the rate was maintained at 17% per annum.
According to data from YouControl, in the first half of 2026, “Siroko Finance” increased its revenue 2.5-fold compared to the same period in 2025—to 138.01 million UAH—and its net profit grew by 49.9%—to 10.09 million UAH.
As of the end of August this year, Natalia Gordienko held a 49.96% stake in the company, while Roman Katerynchyk held 30.04%. Tihipko indirectly controlled 20%.
TAS Agro Pivden LLC has begun planting winter wheat, with 9,800 hectares set aside for it this year, the company reported on Facebook.
“After thorough soil preparation, in accordance with the farm’s chosen technology, we have begun sowing one of the main crops for the upcoming harvest,” the company said in a post on Friday.
The company noted that crop development, winter hardiness, and future yield potential will depend on the quality of execution at each stage of preparation.
The “TAS Agro” agricultural holding is part of the “TAS” Group, founded in 1998. The group’s business interests span the financial (banking and insurance segments) and pharmaceutical sectors, as well as manufacturing, real estate, and venture capital projects.
Serhiy Tihipko is the founder of “TAS” and the beneficial owner of the “TAS Agro” agricultural holding.
Financial-industrial group TAS plans to invest at least $30-40 million in the development of its own production and land bank in 2024, TAS Group founder Serhiy Tigipko said in an interview with Forbes-Ukraine on Wednesday.
“So far we are looking at what gives synergy. This is our own production, primarily in Ukraine. But we are watching the market, if any interesting enterprises will appear. We are definitely ready to invest in agriculture – in the land bank, first of all. This is a strategy for us,” he said.
Tigipko added that he is looking out for investments in processing, which the group has not yet engaged in. “Where exactly we will go, we do not know yet to the end,” – said the founder of the group “TAS”.
The businessman also said that among the plans for 2024 is to increase the production of apple concentrate.
“We want to increase the export volume of apple concentrate. We plan to invest in one of the two plants, and if everything succeeds, to double production,” Tigipko added.
At the same time, according to the founder of TAS Group, logistics currently “eats up” a large share of funds. He noted that his own logistics company mitigates the situation, but the issue of logistics remains complicated, so the group is studying the possibility of acquiring a European transportation company.
“We are considering buying a European transportation company. This will allow to link the supply chain for the client – both in Ukraine and the EU,” he said.
Financial and industrial group “TAS” was founded in 1998 by businessman Serhiy Tihipko. Its business interests include the financial sector (banking and insurance segments) and pharmacy sector, as well as industry, real estate and venture projects.
