[May 19, 2025], Hong Kong – Zurich, -- Hong Kong listed Kingkey Financial International (Holdings) Limited (HKG:1468) (“Kingkey”) announced on 19 May 2025 that it has proposed to change its name “Jakota Capital (Holding) Group” to better reflect the business strategy of the Kingkey group and its direction of future business development, following its announcement on 29 April 2025 in relation to the proposed transaction to acquire 80% ownership interest in Jakota Capital AG https://jakotacapital.com/29-04-25/. Kingkey’s proposed change of name is subject to, among others, shareholders’ approval at a general meeting to be held in due course. Upon completion of the proposed acquisition, Jakota Capital AG will become a non-wholly owned subsidiary of Kingkey and will be part of the Kingkey group. Furthermore, upon the successful change of Kingkey’s name, it may then be trading at Hong Kong Stock Exchange under the same ticker, HKG:1468 as “Jakota Capital (Holding) Group”.
Jakota Capital AG will operate as the 80% owned subsidiary of Jakota Capital Ltd and become the primary European office for the entire Jakota Capital Group. The investment advisory and principal investments business of original Jakota Capital AG will be operated from global headquarters of the combined Jakota Capital in Hong Kong.
“As Jakota Capital effectively becomes a Hong Kong listed company upon completion of its acquisition by Kingkey Financial, this helps us to bring Jakota Capital people and services closer to our key clients in East Asia and significantly broadens Jakota Capital capabilities given the strong presence of Kingkey in corporate lending and brokerage business in Hong Kong, thus making Jakota Capital an even more competitive and committed investment adviser to mid-market listed firms in the region”, commented Dr Rory Knight, the Chairman of Jakota Capital AG.
The effective date of the name change is subject to, among others, shareholders’ approval and will be announced in due course by Kingkey.
