SALVUS successfully facilitates the sale and change of control approval of a Seychelles SDL

The SALVUS Mergers & Acquisitions team is pleased to announce the successful sale and regulatory change of control approval of a Seychelles Securities Dealer Licence (SDL) entity. 

SALVUS supported the transaction throughout the process, facilitating coordination between the parties and assisting with the regulatory and transactional requirements associated with the acquisition of the licensed entity. As part of its engagement, SALVUS coordinated communications between the buyer, seller and relevant local stakeholders, assisted with the preparation and submission of the required change of control documentation, managed responses to regulatory queries and supported the parties throughout the approval process. 

The approval of the change of control by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) represents a key milestone in the transaction and enables the parties to proceed with the required post-approval implementation and transition of the regulated business. 

The successful outcome reflects the importance of maintaining close coordination between the commercial, regulatory and operational aspects of an acquisition involving a regulated financial services entity. 

Commenting on the transaction, Hafeez, Partner at SALVUS Mauritius, stated: 

“The acquisition of a regulated entity requires careful management of both the transaction itself and the regulatory approval process. Commercial agreement between the parties is only one part of the process; the proposed acquisition must also satisfy the expectations and requirements of the relevant regulator. 

We are pleased to have supported the parties throughout this transaction and to have successfully assisted them through the Seychelles FSA change of control process. This further demonstrates SALVUS’ experience in facilitating regulated financial services transactions across multiple jurisdictions.” 

The engagement was executed through a disciplined and efficient process led by SALVUS, reflecting our continued commitment to excellence in cross-border M&A and advisory services within regulated financial markets, including Securities Dealer Licence businesses in Seychelles. By overseeing this transaction end-to-end, SALVUS once again demonstrates its role as a reliable partner for cross-border deals and bespoke corporate services. 

SALVUS continues to support clients in the acquisition or sale of regulated financial entities globally, ensuring full compliance and seamless execution.
