Aferian Sells Subsidiaries in Pre-Pack Deal as Shares Set for AIM Delisting

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

An announcement from Aferian plc ( (GB:AFRN) ) is now available.

Aferian plc has entered administration and, through its joint administrators, has executed a pre-pack sale of all its operating subsidiaries, including the Amino and 24i businesses, to Sapphire Technology Group for an initial cash consideration of $1.3 million plus up to $700,000 in contingent consideration. The sale, which completed immediately, allows the underlying Amino and 24i operations to continue under new ownership, safeguarding customer service and jobs while providing some recovery for secured creditors.

All sale proceeds will be used to fund the administration process and repay secured lenders, whose $16.5 million exposure far exceeds the consideration received, leaving no return for Aferian’s shareholders. Following the disposal, Aferian no longer owns or operates any trading business, and with no plans to appoint a new nominated adviser, its shares are expected to be cancelled from trading on AIM on 7 April 2026, effectively ending its public market presence.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:AFRN) stock is a Hold with a £2.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Aferian plc stock, see the GB:AFRN Stock Forecast page.
