Acquisition of Asyl
On April 12, 2018, we completed the acquisition and merger of Asyl into the Company. This acquisition joined the two largest retail brokerage firms in Kazakhstan and increased our client accounts in Kazakhstan by 16,000 accounts. Asyl was formerly controlled by Mr. Turlov since April 28, 2017. The Company agreed to acquire Asyl from Mr. Turlov for approximately $2.2 million, which was equal to the fair value of the net assets acquired by the Company.
