CONNEXA RECEIVES NASDAQ APPROVAL TO ACQUIRE YUANYU ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT
20 November 2024 - 11:00PM
Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:YYAI) is pleased to
announce that it has received Nasdaq approval for its continued
listing following the acquisition of a further 50% ownership stake
in Yuanyu Enterprise Management Limited (YYEM), a Hong Kong-based
entity focused on the global Love and Marriage sector. As already
approved by Connexa’s shareholders, upon completion of this
acquisition Connexa will undergo a change of control, appoint new
directors and effect a spin-off of the Slinger Bag business.
The new Connexa entity will continue to trade
under the YYAI ticker symbol, with trading commencing at the
opening of the market on Friday, November 22, 2024.
“Over the past year, Connexa’s management and
board of directors have worked to secure meaningful enhancements to
its shareholder value. Nasdaq’s approval of the YYEM acquisition
will allow Connexa to increase its ownership stake in YYEM to 70%,
and reaffirms the strategic direction taken by Connexa’s
management, board and shareholders earlier this year to acquire
YYEM, a company and business that has a strong balance sheet and
exciting growth prospects, both of which will drive the expected
added value for all of our shareholders,” commented Mike Ballardie,
CEO of Connexa.
“Having come to understand the emerging business
sector in which YYEM operates, and in realizing the scope of its
global growth opportunity, I am in no doubt that YYEM will provide
all existing Connexa shareholders an opportunity to share in their
future success,” concluded Ballardie.
Established in November 2021, YYEM is based in
Hong Kong and operates in the emerging Love and Marriage market
sector, where it owns significant proprietary intellectual property
(IP) unique to this business sector, covering its online presence
and underpinning its matchmaker operations. It owns six
technologies related to the metaverse and five AI matchmaking
patents, which together enable access to both Augmented Reality
(AR) and Extended Reality (XR), enhancing its future revenue growth
potential. YYEM’s AI technology can also integrate with existing
Big Data models and other larger AI models, such as Huawei Pangu 3,
a feature designed to operationalize its AI and hone its
technologies to create significant business value by helping its
licensees deliver effective matchmaking services and helping their
clients find successful life partnerships.
YYEM has already proven its business model, with
one licensee partner integrating YYEM’s technology with their
operations across a network of retail stores, the number of which
is expected to grow substantially over the coming two years.
Mr. Zhou, Chairman of YYEM, commented, “I am
delighted that Nasdaq has completed its review process and approved
the acquisition of YYEM. As a company, we are excited about the
opportunity that this provides not only to trade on Nasdaq but also
to drive the growth and development of the global Love and Marriage
sector.”
The completion of the acquisition of a further
50% ownership stake in YYEM remains subject to other closing
conditions. Connexa, as appropriate, will make further public
announcements regarding the completion of the acquisition.
