LocoSoco Group PLC, a company at the forefront of sustainable and community-focused business practices, is excited to announce its intention to acquire Qintelligence, an AI-powered Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting platform. This move comes as part of LocoSoco’s strategic realignment following today’s last trading day on the Direct Market Segment of the Vienna Exchange, marking a significant step in strengthening our market position and enhancing shareholder value.
Strategic Realignment and Future Growth
Coming off the market provides LocoSoco with the flexibility to restructure, refine its strategic focus and integrate a revenue-generating asset like Qintelligence. This period off-market is an opportunity to align our operations, re-structure management, negotiate terms and prepare for a strong re-entry to public markets.
The acquisition of Qintelligence is a cornerstone of this strategy, representing a synergy of values, market position and growth potential.
