On 23 March 2023, the board of finnCap Group plc ("finnCap" or the "Company") and the board of Cenkos Securities plc ("Cenkos") announced that they had reached agreement on the terms and conditions of a recommended all-share merger between Cenkos and finnCap (the "Merger"), to be effected by means of a court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme").

Further to the scheme document published by Cenkos (the "Scheme Document") and the circular published by the Company (the "finnCap Circular"), which were both published on 20 April 2023 in connection with the Scheme, the Company Board are pleased to confirm, subject in each case to the Effective Date occurring, the membership of the Combined Group Board and announce a proposed company name change.

Unless otherwise defined, all capitalised terms in this announcement shall have the meanings given to them in the Scheme Document.

Board Changes

As previously announced in the Scheme Document and finnCap Circular, the Combined Group will be led by the existing CEOs of Cenkos and finnCap, John Farrugia and Julian Morse as co-CEOs, with Lisa Gordon becoming Chair of the Combined Group Board and Robert Lister becoming Senior Independent Non-executive Director. The remainder of the Combined Group Board will comprise Ben Procter (CFO), Richard Snow (COO), Annette Andrews and Jeremy Miller. 

Consequently, the finnCap Board has resolved to appoint, with effect from and conditional upon the Effective Date occurring, Lisa Gordon, Julian Morse, Ben Procter and Jeremy Miller as directors of the Company. Further information on the new directors can be found below.
