<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) 聯合宣佈對 Inna Bazhenova 和 Gleb Ibragimov 提起訴訟，指控其恐嚇、惡意虛假陳述、違反信任和造成後果損失與損害。</p>
<p>在 2023 年，AMTD Group 從 Inna Bazhenova 女士手中收購了《藝術報》，她本人在當時發表了一篇關於交易成功完成的文章：https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2023/10/25/statement-by-inna-bazhenova-publisher-the-art-newspaper。交易的對價已全部支付，交易已正式關閉並完成。</p>
<p>對價包括現金和 AMTD Group 的某些上市公司股份，其中部分股份在銷售和購買協議（&#34;協議&#34;）下受到鎖定期的限制（&#34;鎖定股份&#34;）。</p>
<p>在所有重要時刻，鎖定股份均以 Bazhenova 女士及其商業夥伴和顧問 Gleb Ibragimov 先生的名義註冊，後者由 Bazhenova 女士分配了一部分股份。</p>
<p>儘管如此，Bazhenova 女士和 Ibragimov 先生於 2024 年 12 月 27 日在香港提起法律訴訟，針對交易提出某些索賠。他們申請對鎖定股份的資產保全令，儘管有明確證據表明這些股份以他們的名義註冊，這一點已通過獨立股份登記處的信件確認。</p>
<p>2025 年 6 月 20 日，香港高等法院完全駁回了他們的資產保全令申請，並對他們處以 773,000 港元的訴訟費用。2025 年 11 月 21 日，他們的整個法律訴訟被駁回，整個訴訟的費用由他們承擔。</p>
<p>隨後，在 2026 年 1 月，Ibragimov 先生以個人身份和/或代表 Bazhenova 女士向 AMTD Group 發出信息，表示準備違反協議和/或其信任義務，通過向第三方（包括記者）披露與協議相關的事項，除非 AMTD Group 同意解決與鎖定股份有關的事項，以有利於 Bazhenova 女士。</p>
<p>上述行為和行動已由 AMTD 和《藝術報》報告給執法機關。由於上述原因，AMTD Group 遭受了損失和損害。</p>
<p>因此，在 Gibson Dunn 的建議下，AMTD Group 已迅速對 Bazhenova 女士和 Ibragimov 先生提起法律訴訟，並致力於充分行使其對這兩位個人的法律權利。</p>
<p>此外，AMTD Group 希望重申我們對確保正義和公平戰勝任何對 AMTD Group 及其相關公司和個人的惡意和恐嚇行為的堅持和奉獻，並尋求對這些惡意行為者的所有可能補救措施和懲罰。</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>The consideration comprised cash and certain shares in listed companies of AMTD Group, some of which were subject to a lock-up period (&#34;Lock Up Shares&#34;) under the Sales and Purchase agreement (the &#34;Agreement&#34;).</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>對價包括現金和 AMTD Group 的某些上市公司股份，其中部分股份在銷售和購買協議（&#34;協議&#34;）下受到鎖定期的限制（&#34;鎖定股份&#34;）。</p>

</div><p>On 20 June 2025, the Hong Kong High Court fully dismissed their application for an asset preservation order, and imposed a costs order of HK$773,000 against them. On 21 November 2025, their entire legal action was dismissed, with the costs of the whole action ordered against them.</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>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>隨後，在 2026 年 1 月，Ibragimov 先生以個人身份和/或代表 Bazhenova 女士向 AMTD Group 發出信息，表示準備違反協議和/或其信任義務，通過向第三方（包括記者）披露與協議相關的事項，除非 AMTD Group 同意解決與鎖定股份有關的事項，以有利於 Bazhenova 女士。</p>
