LONDON, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diginex Limited (“Diginex”)(NASDAQ: DGNX), a global leader in ESG sustainable RegTech, is pleased to announce that His Highness Shaikh Mohammed Bin Sultan Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, a member of the Abu Dhabi Royal Family, has purchased warrants to purchase 6.75 million Ordinary Shares of Diginex (the “Warrants”) in a private transaction for a consideration of USD 300 million. This significant investment underscores Diginex’s deepening ties with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and reinforces its position as a frontrunner in driving sustainable finance and innovation on a global scale. In the event that His Highness exercises all of the Warrants, Diginex will receive approximately USD$69.2 million upon the exercise of the Warrants to acquire 6,750,000 ordinary shares of Diginex and His Highness will become ~22.7% holder of Diginex ‘s outstanding ordinary shares (assuming no change to Diginex outstanding ordinary shares as of today).
His Highness purchased the Warrants through his solely owned investment holding company, Nomas Global Investments L.L.C – S.P.C (“Nomas Global”), from Rhino Ventures Limited (“RVL”), the solely owned investment holding company of Miles Pelham, Chairman and Founder of Diginex.
RVL has confirmed receipt of the USD$50 million initial consideration, and the Warrants have been conveyed, assigned and transferred to Nomas Global by Diginex effective today, 6th May 2025. Under the terms of the private transaction Nomas Global is obligated to tender the balance of USD$250 million consideration to RVL on or before 31st December 2025.
The Warrants consist of 3 tranches of warrants as follows:
(a) a warrant to purchase 2,250,000 Ordinary Shares, exercisable at a price of US$8.20 per share and these warrants expire 15 months after January 23, 2025, and;
(b) a warrant to purchase 2,250,000 Ordinary Shares, exercisable at a price of US$10.25 per share, and these warrants expire 18 months after January 23, 2025, and;
(c) a warrant to purchase 2,250,000 Ordinary Shares, exercisable at a price of US$12.30 per share, and these warrants expire 24 months after January 23, 2025.
The acquisition follows the strategic alliance announced on March 17, 2025, between Diginex and Nomas Global, which included plans for a dual listing of Diginex’s ordinary shares on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and a potential capital raise of up to USD 250 million. This latest move solidifies Diginex’s commitment to the UAE, and continues the Emirate’s role at the forefront of sustainability and economic diversification, and enhances its capacity to lead transformative change in the global sustainability landscape.
