Ikigai Ventures to acquire Dotlines Group and shift listing to AIM

Ikigai Ventures Limited ( (GB:IKIV) ) has provided an announcement.

Ikigai Ventures has agreed final terms to acquire Dotlines (Guernsey) Ltd and Audra Solutions Ltd, together known as the Dotlines Group, in an all‑share deal valuing the target at £55.7 million, and will change its name to Dotlines Global Limited with a new ticker ‘DOTL’. The Dotlines Group brings established, revenue‑generating operations across telecoms, digital infrastructure, cybersecurity and fintech, anchored by its Sohoj platform for migrant workers in Malaysia and newly launched UK offerings, including the Catena telecoms software platform, Audra cybersecurity products and Carnival Internet.

Following shareholder approval at an upcoming EGM, Ikigai plans to cancel its Main Market listing and admit its enlarged share capital to trading on AIM on 11 May 2026, implying a projected market value of about £57.9 million. Management from both companies say the move will provide a stronger platform for domestic and international expansion, broadening services on the Sohoj platform, deepening UK telecom and cybersecurity partnerships and positioning the enlarged group to capitalise on rising demand for digital connectivity, data and security solutions.
