Canaccord Asset Management (International) Limited (“the Company”) requested the Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA”) to accept the lapsing of its authorisation to act as an Investment Manager in terms of the Retirement Pensions Act, Cap.514 and the Retirement Pensions (Exemption) Regulation. The MFSA has accepted the Company’s request. The lapse is entirely voluntary and does not arise as a result of any regulatory action taken by the MFSA. Accordingly, with effect from 28 February 2026, the company ceased to be authorised as an Investment Manager.
