FCA approval was a required condition for the completion of the Stanford transaction.\n\nShareholders are due to vote on the acquisitions at a General Meeting scheduled for 10:00am on 22 June 2026 at the offices of Cairn Financial Advisers LLP in London.\n\nChief Executive Patrick Booth-Clibborn welcomed the regulatory approval, describing it as an important step towards completing what the company views as transformational transactions.\n\nOnce completed, the acquisitions are expected to significantly expand Marechale’s capabilities across corporate finance, capital markets, asset tokenisation and investment management, supporting its ambition to establish itself as a fully integrated digital merchant bank.\n\nThe company believes the enlarged group will be well positioned to capitalise on the growing convergence of traditional financial services and digital asset markets.\n\n**Enquiries**\n\n|   |   |\n| --- | --- |\n| **Marechale Capital** Patrick Booth-Clibborn / Mark Warde-Norbury | Tel: +44 (0)20 7628 5582 |"}
