Kingswood Holdings has officially gone private as of April 17, with its AIM shares cancelled from trading. This transition follows the acquisition by HSQ Investment, a subsidiary of Pollen Street Capital, which previously held a significant stake in Kingswood.
As of March 12, HSQ owned 68.4% of Kingswood's voting rights, and recent updates indicate that this interest has increased to 99.27% after a successful takeover offer for an additional 9.88% of shares. The move to privatization comes amid challenges faced by Kingswood, including sector-wide headwinds and a rising debt burden, which stood at £48.1 million as of March 3.
The decision to go private reflects Kingswood's strategy to navigate these difficulties and potentially reposition itself for future growth.
