ASX and Media Announcement

Fatfish Divests 12.5% stake in Altairian Capital for US$250,000 cash

Fatfish Blockchain Ltd (“ Fatfish ”, “ FFG’ or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a sale and purchase agreement to dispose the Company’s stake in Altairian Capital Holdings Limited (“ Altairian Capital ”) to Diginex Limited, a global financial service provider that focuses on providing digital asset financial solutions to institutional clients.

Based out of London, Altairian Capital runs a blockchain focused fund management and institutional custody solution business.

Fatfish acquired 12.5% of Altairian Capital for US$250,000 in February 2018. Under the sale and purchase agreement, Fatfish will be selling its 12.5% stake in Altairian Capital at cost for a total cash consideration of US$250,000 (the “Transaction”). The completion of the Transaction is anticipated to take place within the next two weeks, and the Company will receive the cash consideration for the Transaction within 10 business days after the completion has taken place.

Fatfish CEO, Kin W. Lau commented “The Altairian Capital management is a well positioned team that executes their vision and strategy well in the financial services industry. The Fatfish team has truly a great experience working with them. The divestment to a strategic global player will propel the business forward. It makes a lot of sense for us to divest our minority stake”.

Divestment of Non-Core Asset

The Company takes the decision to divest its stake in Altairian Capital as the divestment represents a divestment of the Company’s non-core asset that will allow the Company to focus more on the core areas of technology that the Company would like to focus on, as well as the Company’s consumer internet businesses. The proceeds from this divesment could be used in reinvesting into building more shareholder value in the Company’s core focus technology sectors.
