The Channel Islands Securities Exchange Limited (CISE) has ceased discussions regarding the acquisition of the European marketplace for SMEs, the Danish-based GXG Markets A/S (GXG).
It was announced on 22 July that an in-principle agreement for the transaction had been agreed between the CISE’s wholly owned subsidiary, The Channel Islands Securities Exchange Authority Limited (CISEA) and the Swedish-headquartered GXG Global Exchange Group AB and GXG.
However, the CISE has now decided not to proceed any further.
Fiona Le Poidevin (pictured), Chief Executive Officer of the CISE, said: “The deal had reached offer stage but, following extensive due diligence procedures, the decision has been made by the CISE not to proceed.”
