Shareholders
Shareholders of PPS Group a.s.
The Slovak Commercial Register does not publish the shareholders of a joint-stock company unless it has a single shareholder, and the ORSR extract for PPS Group a.s. carries no shareholder section. The full list is nevertheless public, because the company has been registered in the Register of Public Sector Partners (RPVS) since 1 August 2017 under entry number 17434 and has not been deleted from it. The verification document signed on 19 February 2025 and in force in the register since 21 February 2025 lists all five holders of the 19,539 ordinary registered paper shares of EUR 332 each that make up the share capital of EUR 6,486,948. The share counts reconcile exactly to the shares in issue.
| Shareholder | Country | Identifier | Shares | Share of capital, votes and profit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magna trade, s. r. o. | Slovakia | IČO 47 257 652, Sro 103983/B | 9,851 | 50.42% |
| Hanspeter Siegrist (natural person) | Resident in Thailand | — | 4,147 | 21.22% |
| RMA invest, a.s. | Czech Republic | IČO 275 26 950, Městský soud v Praze B 19892 | 2,880 | 14.74% |
| X8 Software GmbH | Germany | HRB 720265, Amtsgericht Stuttgart | 2,228 | 11.40% |
| Ing. Jaromír Hudec (natural person) | Resident in Czech Republic | — | 433 | 2.22% |
Registered shares may be transferred only with the consent of the board of directors, and under the articles a resolution of the general meeting requires at least 70% of the votes of the shareholders present. Both restrictions are recorded in the register and in the verification document.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
RPVS records two verified ultimate beneficial owners as at the retrieval date of 29 September 2026.
- JUDr. Daniel Futej — indirect interest stated as 50.42%, held through Magna trade, s. r. o. He holds a EUR 750 contribution in Magna trade, equal to 15% of its capital and votes; the remaining EUR 4,250, equal to 85%, is held by Adriana Futejová. A declaration by Magna trade dated 18 February 2025 states that under an agreement between the members she exercises her rights on his instructions, and on that basis the whole of Magna trade’s 50.42% is attributed to him. On share capital alone his look-through interest would be 15% × 50.42% = 7.56%; the 50.42% figure rests on the declared control arrangement, not on a multiplication through the chain. Nationality recorded in RPVS: Slovak.
- Hanspeter Siegrist — direct interest of 21.22% in capital and votes. The verification document states that he does not meet the 25% threshold on his own and was identified under section 6a(3) of Act 297/2008 Coll. because, acting in concert with another person, he can appoint or remove members of the company’s bodies. Nationality recorded in RPVS: Swiss.
Dietrich Charisius was a registered beneficial owner from 1 August 2017 to 14 March 2024 and is no longer one. The current verification document attributes him an indirect 11.40% through X8 Software GmbH, whose sole member is HERIKLOS Equity GmbH & Co. KG (HRA 14114, Stuttgart), of which he is the limited partner — below the Slovak threshold. Nationality recorded in RPVS while registered: German. The document also states that RMA invest, a.s. has six natural persons as its own beneficial owners, together holding an indirect 14.74% of PPS Group a.s. and 2.46% each; it does not name them.
Data availability
Full, and unusually so for a jurisdiction that does not publish a joint-stock company’s share register: the RPVS verification document gives every shareholder with an exact share count, and the counts sum to the shares in issue. Two caveats. The verification document is internally inconsistent about Hanspeter Siegrist: its shareholder list gives 4,147 shares and 21.22%, while its reasoning section states 21.72%; 21.22% is published here because it is what 4,147 of 19,539 shares equals. Separately, the stored provider field gd_shareholders for this record contains no shareholder data at all, only a message that Slovak shareholder information is filed with the Commercial Register and RPVS; that absence is a gap in the provider feed and not evidence about this company’s ownership.

Officers
Directors and officers of PPS Group a.s.
Slovakia publishes corporate officers in full, and the Commercial Register extract for PPS Group a.s. (Sa 735/S, District Court Banská Bystrica, data updated 28 September 2026) discloses six active officers across two bodies: a three-member board of directors (predstavenstvo) and a three-member supervisory board (dozorná rada). No officer on the current extract carries a termination date, and no vacancy is shown.
The board of directors comprises JUDr. Daniel Futej as chairman (predseda predstavenstva), Juraj Čembera as member and RNDr. Lorant Sándor as member. All three took office on 9 October 2024 and were entered in the register on 26 October 2024. The register records that two members of the board must always act jointly in all matters on the company’s behalf, a rule entered on 28 January 2014; the RPVS verification document adds that where the board is reduced to a single member, that member acts alone.
The supervisory board comprises Pavel Pleva, whose function began on 8 June 2023, and RNDr. Karel Matyska, CSc. and Hanspeter Siegrist, whose functions began on 16 May 2024 and were entered on 12 June 2024. Roles are given here in their Slovak statutory form because a Slovak akciová spoločnosť has a two-tier structure and supervisory board members are not directors.
Nationality is not a field in the Slovak Commercial Register. The RPVS verification document signed on 19 February 2025 does record citizenship for the three board members, and states Slovak citizenship for JUDr. Daniel Futej, Juraj Čembera and RNDr. Lorant Sándor. It does not record citizenship for the supervisory board members, so for them nationality is Not disclosed. Occupation is not published for any of them, and the roles above are legal positions rather than occupations.
Recent officer changes
- 9 October 2024 — JUDr. Daniel Futej (chairman), Juraj Čembera and RNDr. Lorant Sándor took office as members of the board of directors; entered in the register on 26 October 2024.
- 16 May 2024 — RNDr. Karel Matyska, CSc. and Hanspeter Siegrist took office as members of the supervisory board; entered in the register on 12 June 2024.
- 8 June 2023 — Pavel Pleva took office as a member of the supervisory board.
Data availability
Full: the Slovak register publishes current officers with their exact function-commencement dates and the manner of acting, and a dated history of former officers is available in the complete extract. Nationality is not published by the register itself and was taken only from the RPVS verification document, which covers the board but not the supervisory board; dates of birth published openly by the register are deliberately not reproduced here. One defect in the baseline data should be noted: the stored provider field gd_officers contains no officer records and instead returns a message that officer data is not available for this jurisdiction. That statement is wrong for Slovakia, which publishes directors and supervisory board members in full and free of charge.

Group Structure
Group structure of PPS Group a.s.
PPS Group a.s. is not independent, but neither is it a wholly owned member of a larger group. One Slovak company, Magna trade, s. r. o., holds a majority of its capital and votes at 50.42%; the remaining 49.58% is spread across four other holders, so Magna trade controls the company without owning it outright. Magna trade’s own members are two natural persons, so no corporate entity sits above it and there is no ultimate corporate parent in the chain. Below PPS Group a.s. the Commercial Register verifies three Slovak subsidiaries, two of them wholly owned. The whole verified structure is Slovak; no branch or foreign establishment is recorded for PPS Group a.s. Ownership percentages are taken from the RPVS verification document in force since 21 February 2025 and from register extracts with data updated to 28 September 2026.

Recent structural changes
- 15 October 2024 — Defence Mode, s. r. o. was incorporated at Areál PPS 1732, 962 23 Očová, with PPS Group a.s. contributing EUR 162,680 of its EUR 166,000 capital and ŠTUPAK s. r. o. (IČO 55 120 610) the remaining EUR 3,320. Its registered activities include defence-industry research and development, vehicle manufacture and the sale of weapons and ammunition.
Data availability
Full for the Slovak entities in the structure: the Commercial Register publishes members and their contributions for a spoločnosť s ručením obmedzeným and the sole shareholder of a joint-stock company, and the RPVS verification document supplies the shareholding above PPS Group a.s. that the register itself does not publish. One point on the baseline data: unlike the shareholder and officer fields, the stored gd_groups tree is not empty and is broadly right — it names Magna trade, s. r. o. above PPS Group a.s. and the same three subsidiaries below it, and all four identifiers resolve in the Slovak register. Its limitations are that it presents Magna trade as a parent without the 50.42% figure, shows no percentage anywhere, and omits the four other shareholders, so a reader of the graph alone would infer wholly owned control that does not exist.
