Noventiq and Corner Growth expect to finalize their definitive
Business Combination Agreement in the coming weeks and plan to
announce additional details at that time.
Noventiq has been engaged in a process of evaluating long-term
options with the aim to deliver greater value, transparency,
certainty, and liquidity to shareholders. The Company’s board of
directors (“Board”) believes that a listing on the Nasdaq in the
United States, by way of a business combination with Corner Growth,
is a positive and natural next step for the Company, and is in the
best interests of its shareholders. The recent announcement to
re-domicile the Company in the Cayman Islands is also intended to
ensure that the transaction can be completed in a timely manner and
is structured in a manner customary to international investors.
The Board believes that the current price of Noventiq’s listed
Global Depository Receipt (GDRs) is not a fair reflection of the
value of the Noventiq Group and that there continues to be very
limited trading volume in Noventiq GDRs on the London Stock
Exchange. Nasdaq is a leading global stock market with a respected
technology heritage, which Noventiq and Corner Growth believe is
the strongest fit for Noventiq as it continues to strengthen its
position as a leading global digital transformation and
cybersecurity provider.
Jacques Guers, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Noventiq
Group noted:
“Today’s announcement is a significant step towards our
objective to realise the true fundamental value of Noventiq for all
of our stakeholders. We have built a great company with a very
strong track record for growth, and a partnership with Corner
Growth is an exciting move as we look ahead to a potential listing
on Nasdaq. Corner Growth’s team has a strong history with companies
in the emerging markets, helping to generate added sales channels,
contract opportunities, and access to significant customer networks
at the highest levels."
Marvin Tien, Co-Chairman & CEO of Corner Growth
said:
“Noventiq fits perfectly within our investment strategy to back
leading global technology companies. Corner Growth’s relationships
in the Asia-Pacific region, over two decades of investment
experience, and its acute understanding of the risks, benefits, and
successful execution of cross-border transactions both validate our
reputation as a leading technology investor and position this
transaction to close successfully, adding significant value as a
long-term partner to Noventiq.”
