The online supermarket Rozetka and the EVO group of companies plan to merge, Vladyslav Chechotkin, the founder and co-owner of Rosetka.UA, said on his Facebook page.

"As a result of the planned deal, Rozetka will buy out Naspers' share in the EVO group of companies, the share of the EVO founders will be transformed into a share in the merged company. All existing projects will continue their work, and business management will remain unchanged," he said, citing the EVO press service.

According to him, the merged company will continue to actively develop the marketplace, which will allow small- and medium-sized Ukrainian entrepreneurs to sell goods through the sites of the united company.

In the future, thanks to the logistics of Rozetka, consumers will enjoy faster delivery of goods from vendors selling on the marketplaces.

"We believe that the synergy of the logistics infrastructure, IT infrastructure and cooperation with tens of thousands of entrepreneurs will allow us to build one of the most useful companies in the life of every Ukrainian," Chechotkin commented.

The deal will be closed after the Antimonopoly Committee green-lights the merger in Ukraine.
