<p>, /PRNewswire/ -- AMTD Group Inc. (&#34;AMTD Group&#34;), AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE: AMTD; SGX: HKB), AMTD Digital Inc. (NYSE: HKD) 和 The Generation Essentials Group (&#34;TGE&#34;, NYSE: TGE; LSE: TGE) 联合宣布对 Inna Bazhenova 和 Gleb Ibragimov 提起诉讼，指控其恐吓、恶意虚假陈述、违反信任和造成后果损失与损害。</p>
<p>在 2023 年，AMTD Group 从 Inna Bazhenova 女士手中收购了《艺术报》，她本人在当时发表了一篇关于交易成功完成的文章：https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2023/10/25/statement-by-inna-bazhenova-publisher-the-art-newspaper。交易的对价已全部支付，交易已正式关闭并完成。</p>
<p>对价包括现金和 AMTD Group 的某些上市公司股份，其中部分股份在销售和购买协议（&#34;协议&#34;）下受到锁定期的限制（&#34;锁定股份&#34;）。</p>
<p>在所有重要时刻，锁定股份均以 Bazhenova 女士及其商业伙伴和顾问 Gleb Ibragimov 先生的名义注册，后者由 Bazhenova 女士分配了一部分股份。</p>
<p>尽管如此，Bazhenova 女士和 Ibragimov 先生于 2024 年 12 月 27 日在香港提起法律诉讼，针对交易提出某些索赔。他们申请对锁定股份的资产保全令，尽管有明确证据表明这些股份以他们的名义注册，这一点已通过独立股份登记处的信件确认。</p>
<p>2025 年 6 月 20 日，香港高等法院完全驳回了他们的资产保全令申请，并对他们处以 773,000 港元的诉讼费用。2025 年 11 月 21 日，他们的整个法律诉讼被驳回，整个诉讼的费用由他们承担。</p>
<p>随后，在 2026 年 1 月，Ibragimov 先生以个人身份和/或代表 Bazhenova 女士向 AMTD Group 发出信息，表示准备违反协议和/或其信任义务，通过向第三方（包括记者）披露与协议相关的事项，除非 AMTD Group 同意解决与锁定股份有关的事项，以有利于 Bazhenova 女士。</p>
<p>上述行为和行动已由 AMTD 和《艺术报》报告给执法机关。由于上述原因，AMTD Group 遭受了损失和损害。</p>
<p>因此，在 Gibson Dunn 的建议下，AMTD Group 已迅速对 Bazhenova 女士和 Ibragimov 先生提起法律诉讼，并致力于充分行使其对这两位个人的法律权利。</p>
<p>此外，AMTD Group 希望重申我们对确保正义和公平战胜任何对 AMTD Group 及其相关公司和个人的恶意和恐吓行为的坚持和奉献，并寻求对这些恶意行为者的所有可能补救措施和惩罚。</p>

</div><p>In 2023, AMTD Group acquired The Art Newspaper from Ms Inna Bazhenova, who personally published an article about the successful completion of the deal at the time: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2023/10/25/statement-by-inna-bazhenova-publisher-the-art-newspaper. The consideration for the transaction was fully paid, and the deal was duly closed and completed.</p>

</div><p>Subsequently, in January 2026, Mr Ibragimov—in his own capacity and/or for and on behalf of Ms Bazhenova—issued messages to AMTD Group, indicating readiness to breach the Agreement and/or their duty of confidence by disclosing matters relating to the Agreement to third parties, including journalists, unless AMTD Group agrees to a resolve matters concerning the Lock Up Shares in favour of Ms Bazhenova.</p>
