NZF Now Trading as BGI on NZ Main Board After Blackwell Global Group’s Acquisition of Cornerstone Position
Auckland, New Zealand - 24 July 2017 - Global brokerage group Blackwell Global announces that its acquisition of a cornerstone shareholding position in NZF Group Limited (NZF), in conjunction with the restructure of NZF, has been successfully completed and NZF has been renamed Blackwell Global Holdings Limited (ticker code BGI).

Our external investors can be assured of the stable support, flexibility and expertise we offer with our customised solutions, a service we have built our global business upon."
Michael Chai, James Law and Ewe Leong Lim have also been appointed to the Board of Directors of Blackwell Global Holdings Limited, joining Sean Joyce and Craig Alexander who will continue as independent directors. Former director, Mark Thornton, will undertake the role of Chief Executive Officer of the finance company operation to be launched later this year.
