Subsequent to WPTG's acquisition of Ayima  in March 2024, following a review of operations, WPTG injected a loan of 3 MSEK during April 2024 to enable Ayima to meet its cash commitments. This cash requirement was known at the time of the acquisition. WPTG's investigations in June 2024 discovered that the cash requirements in Ayima's business had increased substantially. WPTG requested more detailed information from Ayima on the 12th of June 2024 as grounds for a strategic decision on a possible injection of further loans to Ayima. Such information has not been presented to WPTG.

We hold the Board and Management of Ayima; CEO, Michael Jacobson, Chairman, Mike Nott and Board Member, Tim Webb solely responsible for the present situation and will seek to recover any financial losses that may be caused to WPTG.

WPTG, as a group, has a strong financial position. The loan of 3 MSEK is the only asset at risk, there are no further guarantees or other commitments to Ayima.

WPTG is currently evaluating the Ayima situation and will take appropriate action to protect the interests of its shareholders. Furthermore, the employees, customers and related stakeholders of Ayima remain WPTG's primary concern. WPTG leadership will engage with the Administrator appointed by the District Court as soon as possible, with the objective of rescuing the business and fulfilling customer expectations.
