MBH Corporation PLC and Asia Pacific Energy Venture Pte Ltd announce demerger London, 22 April 2020 - MBH Corporation plc ("MBH") and Asia Pacific Energy Ventures Pte Ltd ("APEV") announce their amicable and mutual agreement to demerge with immediate effect. On 17 June 2019, MBH (a diversified investment holding company) announced the acquisition of APEV (a provider of EPC power and energy solutions in the Pacific) in an all stock deal. Since the acquisition, it has become apparent that the business strategies of MBH and APEV are moving in different directions, and the key stakeholders agree it is in the current best interest of both parties to separate. Accordingly, by mutual agreement, APEV will demerge from the MBH group. The consideration that was due to be paid to APEV shareholders will not be paid. The total number of shares on issue currently is 44,997,305. MBH expects the number of shares to increase subject to the finalisation of the audits for KS Training Ltd, UK Sports Training Ltd and Guildprime Specialist Contracts Ltd. MBH expects to release key financial results for the year ended 31 December 2019 (which will exclude APEV) on 30 April 2020. The audited annual report 2019 will now be published on 29 May 2020.
