Restructuring all Business Verticals

Meanwhile, the company is taking significant measures on other fronts as well.

As decided earlier in May, the London-listed company is shutting down all its B2B brokerage business on November 1. This decision was already under a six-month notice termination period.

Additionally, the company is closing all its investments into its wholly-owned subsidiary Footies due to the harsh impact of COVID-19 on the events and ticketing industry.

“Covid-19 has severely impacted the events market, with the sales of tickets to events severely disrupted, and anticipated to be severely disrupted well into 2021,” the announcement added. “TechFinancials will currently halt the development and marketing of the Footies solution.”

Techfinancials also halted the plans of issuing a Diamond ETF by Cedex, another of its subsidiaries. It is planning to ‘sell all or part of its interest in Cedex.’
