Scout Gaming exits market after selling core subsidiary in all-share deal
Scout Gaming Group has sold its main subsidiary, Scout Holding Ltd, to ImpactWin Group AB in an all-share deal. The transaction marks a major shift for the company, which will now move towards voluntary liquidation. Shareholders will receive a portion of ImpactWin's stock as part of the agreement. The sale was completed without cash changing hands, valued instead at SEK25 million (€2.28 million) in ImpactWin shares. Scout Gaming Group received 10,591,102 shares, giving it roughly 15% of ImpactWin's expanded share capital. These shares will be distributed to Scout's own shareholders in the coming months.
Following the deal, Scout Gaming Group no longer runs any active business operations. The company has also applied to delist its shares from Nasdaq First North Growth Market, with the exchange approving the request. Trading of Scout's shares will officially end on March 31, 2026. Before ImpactWin's stock market debut in March 2024, Scout's share value had fallen sharply by about 70% since its 2021 peak. This decline contrasted with other Swedish-listed gambling firms like Evolution Gaming and Kindred Group, which saw stable performances or modest gains of 10-20% over the same period.
With no remaining business activities, Scout Gaming Group will now focus on liquidation. The distribution of ImpactWin shares to its shareholders will complete the process. The company's delisting from Nasdaq First North Growth Market will take effect after the final trading day in March 2026.
