Background

Strand Hanson acted as Rule 3 Adviser and Financial Adviser to Intuitive Investments Group plc ("IIG") on its recommended all-share acquisition by Acceler8 Ventures plc ("AC8"), implemented by way of a Scheme of Arrangement.

The transaction will see IIG shareholders receive new AC8 shares and the enlarged AC8 group admitted to the Equity Shares in Commercial Companies ("ESCC") category of the Official List maintained by the FCA and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market. This will provide the enlarged group with access to a broader range of institutional investors and the potential for future eligibility for inclusion in the FTSE UK Index Series.

The transaction received exceptionally strong shareholder support, with 99.9% of votes cast at the IIG General Meeting on 3 August 2026 in favour of the resolutions required to implement the transaction.

We are delighted to have advised and supported the independent directors of IIG throughout this important transaction and look forward to following the continued development of the enlarged AC8 group and its principal operating business, Hui10 Inc.

Daniel Levine, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Hui10 Inc. and CEO of Acceler8 Ventures plc, commented:

“The Strand Hanson team has provided exceptional advice and support throughout what has been a complex and demanding transaction. Their combination of technical expertise, commercial understanding and innovative thinking was invaluable, including the structuring solution that enabled the agreed commercial ownership between the parties to be maintained throughout the transaction process.

I have been extremely impressed by the entire Strand Hanson team. They understood not only the mechanics of the transaction, but what we were ultimately trying to achieve for Hui10 and our shareholders. We are very grateful for their commitment and professionalism throughout and look forward to beginning the next stage of Hui10's development as the principal operating business of AC8.”
