YYAI Connexa Sports Technologies Inc

Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq:YYAI) is pleased to announce that it has received Nasdaq approval for its continued listing following the acquisition of a further 50% ownership stake in Yuanyu Enterprise Management Limited (YYEM), a Hong Kong-based entity focused on the global Love and Marriage sector. As already approved by Connexa’s shareholders, upon completion of this acquisition Connexa will undergo a change of control, appoint new directors and effect a spin-off of the Slinger Bag business.

The new Connexa entity will continue to trade under the YYAI ticker symbol, with trading commencing at the opening of the market on Friday, November 22, 2024.

“Over the past year, Connexa’s management and board of directors have worked to secure meaningful enhancements to its shareholder value. Nasdaq’s approval of the YYEM acquisition will allow Connexa to increase its ownership stake in YYEM to 70%, and reaffirms the strategic direction taken by Connexa’s management, board and shareholders earlier this year to acquire YYEM, a company and business that has a strong balance sheet and exciting growth prospects, both of which will drive the expected added value for all of our shareholders,” commented Mike Ballardie, CEO of Connexa.

“Having come to understand the emerging business sector in which YYEM operates, and in realizing the scope of its global growth opportunity, I am in no doubt that YYEM will provide all existing Connexa shareholders an opportunity to share in their future success,” concluded Ballardie.

Established in November 2021, YYEM is based in Hong Kong and operates in the emerging Love and Marriage market sector, where it owns significant proprietary intellectual property (IP) unique to this business sector, covering its online presence and underpinning its matchmaker operations. It owns six technologies related to the metaverse and five AI matchmaking patents, which together enable access to both Augmented Reality (AR) and Extended Reality (XR), enhancing its future revenue growth potential. YYEM’s AI technology can also integrate with existing Big Data models and other larger AI models, such as Huawei Pangu 3, a feature designed to operationalize its AI and hone its technologies to create significant business value by helping its licensees deliver effective matchmaking services and helping their clients find successful life partnerships.

YYEM has already proven its business model, with one licensee partner integrating YYEM’s technology with their operations across a network of retail stores, the number of which is expected to grow substantially over the coming two years.

Mr. Zhou, Chairman of YYEM, commented, “I am delighted that Nasdaq has completed its review process and approved the acquisition of YYEM. As a company, we are excited about the opportunity that this provides not only to trade on Nasdaq but also to drive the growth and development of the global Love and Marriage sector.”

The completion of the acquisition of a further 50% ownership stake in YYEM remains subject to other closing conditions. Connexa, as appropriate, will make further public announcements regarding the completion of the acquisition.
