Estonian Encyclopaedia Publishers
Estonian Encyclopaedia Publishers (Estonian: Eesti Entsüklopeediakirjastus) was an Estonian publisher which published reference literature (like encyclopedias, atlases) and popular science literature.
As of 2009, publisher's main shareholders were Hardo Aasmäe (owned 25.6%), Jüri Ott (owned 20.4%), and Ülo Kaevats (owned 12.0%).[1]
In 2011, the publisher went bankrupt.[2] However, the bankruptcy proceedings got stuck because the owner of the publishing house's last office, Ülemiste City, confiscated the property in the company's office and sold it to cover the 9,000-euro rent debt. Bankruptcy administrator Tiina Mitt estimated its value at over 4.3 million euros. The location of sold documents, author contracts and books under editing is unknown. A part of the EE archive was also lost, a criminal investigation was initiated.[3]
