GSTechnologies Limited (LSE: GST), the fintech focused company, is pleased to provide an update in relation to the Company's plans for its 67% owned subsidiary, Semnet Pte Ltd ("Semnet"), following the announcement on 15 October 2024 of the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Trident Global Capital Pte Ltd ("TGC"), outlining TGC's proposed role in guiding and assisting Semnet through strategic preparations for a potential listing on NASDAQ in the US (the "Potential Listing").
