Will three out of the four Telecom supervisors whose terms of office expire remain the same?

On August 20, 2026, shareholders of Telekom Slovenije, led by CEO Boštjan Košak, will convene to decide on the distribution of the company’s net profit for the previous year, amounting to €53.5 million. Among the agenda items, they will consider the allocation of nearly €30 million in dividends, which would equate to approximately €4.60 per share. The meeting will also address the appointment of four new members to the supervisory board, following the expiration of mandates held by four existing members. The current supervisory board includes President Ziga Debeljak, member Marko Boštjančič, Alenka Čok Pangeršič, and Matija Čuk Orel. Their four-year terms expire on September 8. Boštjančič, Čok Pangeršič, and Čuk Orel have been proposed for reappointment. However, Debeljak, who serves as chairman of the supervisory board of the Slovenian State Holding (SDH), has announced his intention to resign from this position by the end of September. In response, the SDH has recommended Igor Hustin as his replacement. Debeljak's departure marks the end of a tenure during which he played a key role in shaping the strategic direction of Telekom Slovenije. His resignation comes after years of involvement with the company, including his leadership within the SDH. The transition will see Hustin stepping into the role, bringing with him experience in corporate governance and public administration. In addition to the supervisory board appointments, the meeting will also confirm the appointment of Mag. Irma Gubanec as deputy chairperson of the Telekom Slovenia management board. Gubanec, who holds a doctorate in law, has already assumed her role as head of the Ljubljana Clinical Centre. Her dual responsibilities highlight the growing integration of academic and managerial expertise within the company’s leadership structure. The decision to appoint new supervisors follows a period of stability and growth for Telekom Slovenije. Over recent years, the company has focused on expanding its digital infrastructure and enhancing services for both residential and business customers. The proposed dividend payout reflects confidence in the company’s financial performance and long-term prospects. The upcoming shareholder meeting represents a critical juncture for Telekom Slovenije, as it balances the need for continuity with the introduction of fresh perspectives. The selection of new board members will influence the company’s future strategies, particularly in areas such as technological innovation and market expansion. Meanwhile, the confirmation of Gubanec’s role underscores the increasing emphasis on multidisciplinary leadership within the organization. As preparations for the meeting continue, all stakeholders remain focused on ensuring transparency and alignment with the broader goals of the telecommunications sector in Slovenia. The outcome of the vote on dividends and the appointment of new supervisors will set the stage for the next phase of the company’s development.
