By acquiring control and ownership of ABG, the Buyer will have the authority to execute the planned asset infusion and consolidation into ABG, which will result in the listed issuer, ABG, transitioning from a dormant shell company into a holding company with subsidiaries that operate and generate recurring and ongoing revenue and income.
