An update from River Global PLC Class A ( (GB:RVRG) ) is now available.
River Global PLC has agreed to sell the entire share capital of its asset management holding company, River Global Holdings Limited, to Liontrust Asset Management for an initial £7.6 million in Liontrust shares, with up to a further £2.1 million in contingent share-based consideration. The consideration shares are intended to be distributed pro rata to A ordinary shareholders, while B shares remain unaffected, and River Global’s fund management operations will be integrated into Liontrust’s broader £21.7 billion asset management platform.
The board of River Global unanimously backs the deal, with chairman Martin Gilbert and director Christopher Mills pledging their 22.3% stake in favour and agreeing to hold their Liontrust shares for at least two years. Following completion, expected by 31 August 2026 subject to shareholder and FCA approval, River Global will become an AIM Rule 15 cash shell focused on realising value from its 30% interest in Parmenion, while shareholders gain exposure to Liontrust’s larger, more diversified business and its enhanced distribution capabilities.
