Strategy
The Company was formed to undertake one or more acquisitions of a majority interest in a company or business. Any such acquisition undertaken by the Company will be treated as a reverse takeover for the purposes of Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules.
The directors intend to search initially for acquisition opportunities in the technology sector. The theme focus for the prospective acquisition is megatrends. This includes sectors such as space, artificial intelligence, machine learning and blockchain technology.
Megatrends are powerful, transformative forces that can change the global economy, business and society. They drive innovation and redefine business strategies and have a meaningful impact on how we live, how we spend our money and how we invest. The disrupters in particular have produced dynamic profits for early-stage shareholders.
