Business Combination
On April 21, 2026, OIO Group (formerly known as ESGL Holdings Limited) (the “Company”) received an approval letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq Letter”) in connection with the anticipated closing of its previously announced business combination with De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited (the “Business Combination”) and the listing of the combined company on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein.
The Company expects to consummate the Business Combination on or about April 24, 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of the remaining conditions set forth in the Nasdaq Letter.
In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the combined company is expected to commence trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “OIO.”
The Company expects to satisfy all applicable Nasdaq initial listing requirements before the closing of the Business Combination and commencement of trading, including the applicable conditions referenced in the Nasdaq Letter.
Reverse Stock Split
The Company expects to effect a 1-for-3 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) on April 24, 2026, immediately prior to, and in connection with, the effectiveness of the closing of the Business Combination, such that each three issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company will be combined into one ordinary share.
The Reverse Stock Split forms an integral part of the Company’s transaction and listing structuring and is intended to position the combined company to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements at the time of effectiveness, including the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
The Company expects to provide public disclosure of the Reverse Stock Split in accordance with applicable Nasdaq requirements.
Shareholder Distribution
The Company expects that its shareholder distribution will continue to satisfy applicable Nasdaq initial listing requirements upon completion of the Business Combination and the Reverse Stock Split.
