Loeb Smith Attorneys Advises Alpha Technology Group Limited and Lion Group Holding Ltd in their Share Capital Restructuring

10 January 2025 . 8 min read

Hong Kong (January 9, 2025) Loeb Smith Attorneys, one of the leading offshore corporate law firms with a strong growing presence in the APAC region, has recently advised Alpha Technology Group Limited (Nasdaq: ATGL), a British Virgin Islands company, and Lion Group Holding Ltd (Nasdaq: LGHL), a Cayman Islands company, in their share capital restructuring by adopting dual class shareholding structures to facilitate management decision-making, corporate governance processes and incentive plans (the “Restructurings”).

 

The Restructurings were led by Partner Ivy Wong and included team members Max Lee and Frost Wu in Hong Kong. Partner and Head of the firm’s Corporate and Investment Funds Group, Gary Smith, commented, “Many of our clients are listed companies that are incorporated in offshore jurisdictions that are subject to offshore law regime, so that our Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands law capabilities come into key play alongside local counsels advising on listing rules of different stock exchanges. We are proud to have had the opportunities to provide our best support and contribute to the ongoing development of listed companies that require efficient and effective legal solutions to achieve their corporate goals and developments.”

 

Partner Ivy Wong in Hong Kong also commented, “In this market, more so than ever, in their attempts to bring greater value to investors, listed companies are seeking flexibility in their management, with a view to maintaining their competitiveness in the market and responsiveness to changes. It is also vital for listed companies to reward their management, staff and key stakeholders with appropriate incentives and awards to align interests and incentivize long-term growth and relationships. We are glad to have different clients coming to us for advice on these types of restructurings and share grant proposals, and we are particularly pleased to have contributed to the successful completion of the Restructurings for our clients.”

 

The Restructurings are examples of corporate matters and transactions that Loeb Smith Attorneys has advised listed companies and pre-listing companies in the past year together with Loeb & Loeb LLP acting as US counsel.
