Company signals strategic evolution aimed at building a portfolio of distinctive operating businesses
SINGAPORE, March 9, 2026 — ESGL Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: ESGL) (the “Company”) today revealed its corporate name change from ESGL Holdings Limited to OIO Group, along with a Nasdaq ticker symbol switch from “ESGL” to “OIO,” taking effect March 10, 2026.
Shareholders approved the name and ticker changes at the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company’s share capital structure—including share class, shareholder rights, and trading processes—will remain unchanged.
The shift to OIO Group mirrors the Company’s evolving strategic path as it moves beyond current operations to back and develop distinctive operating businesses with long-term growth prospects.
The Company sees public markets as a long-term platform to support and scale distinctive operating businesses with robust heritage and global potential.
As previously stated, the Company and De Tomaso Automobili Holdings Limited are currently working through the stages of a proposed business combination, which is part of the Company’s wider strategic plan. The proposed deal is still subject to standard closing conditions and approvals, and there’s no guarantee it will be finalized.
In the future, the Company plans to assess additional strategic opportunities that align with its long-term goal of building a portfolio of distinctive operating businesses, all while upholding a disciplined approach to capital allocation and sustainable shareholder value creation.
With this evolving strategy, the Company aims to build and manage a portfolio of distinctive businesses and brands with lasting heritage and long-term growth potential.
The Company will keep shareholders and the market informed as significant developments arise.
The Company’s ordinary shares and warrants will keep trading uninterrupted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbols “OIO” and “OIOWW,” respectively.
