Shares in CPP Group Plc (LSE:CPP) slumped 43.8% after the company revealed it is reviewing options that include cancelling its listing on AIM and moving to a private ownership structure.
The UK-based assistance provider said its board is “actively pursuing and carefully assessing” a range of strategic alternatives, among them a possible delisting from London’s AIM market. The company pointed to the difficulties facing smaller quoted businesses, including “persistent undervaluation, limited liquidity, and the ongoing costs and administrative burden” associated with maintaining a public market listing.
According to the board, the advantages of remaining quoted “may no longer justify these costs” given the group’s current scale. Management added that capital and management time could be better directed toward expanding its core InsurTech platform, Blink Parametric.
CPPGroup stressed that no decision has yet been taken. Any proposal to delist would be subject to shareholder approval, requiring the support of at least 75% of votes cast at a general meeting.
Despite the sharp share price reaction, the company said trading in the second half of 2025 remains in line with management expectations. As at 31 December 2025, CPPGroup held £5.6 million in cash and is scheduled to receive a further £5.1 million in deferred consideration from past disposals over the next two years.
The group also announced that Brian Barter has been appointed Executive Director with immediate effect. Barter joined the business as chief executive of Blink Parametric in June 2025, having previously held senior roles at Accenture and Bank of Ireland, as well as serving as managing director at BoatyardX.
