Jakota Capital (Holding) Group (HKG:1468) terminated the previously proposed acquisition of an 80% interest in Swiss advisory firm Jakota Capital AG, according to a Hong Kong bourse filing Friday.
Shares of the insurance company fell nearly 27% in morning trade Monday.
The group, formerly known as Kingkey Financial International, said it was terminating the acquisition in view of the overall market environment and future business development direction of the group.
Jakota Capital previously said it would acquire the stake from Nobias Media at a maximum consideration of HK$103 million.
The termination will not have any material adverse effect on the company's business, Jakota Capital said.
Meanwhile, in a separate announcement, Jakota Capital said its board proposed a share consolidation on the basis of one consolidated share for every five existing shares held in the company.
The firm will call a meeting of shareholders to seek approval for the proposed share consolidation.
