香港，2024年5月29日（环球新闻专线）——一站式服装解决方案服务提供商新概念国际集团控股有限公司（纳斯达克股票代码：NCI）（“公司”）今天宣布了一项改变游戏规则的收购。该公司已签署资产购买协议（“APA”），以收购其关联公司Neo-Concept（控股）有限公司（“NCH”）的知识产权（“IP）和研发能力”。
Under the deal, NCI will take full ownership of the highly-valuable "Les100Ciels" and "SIU" brands, including all associated trademarks and trade names. Crucially, this includes the transfer of the R&D teams responsible for these in-demand labels.
根据该协议，NCI将拥有高价值的 “Les100Ciels” 和 “SIU” 品牌的全部所有权，包括所有相关的商标和商品名称。至关重要的是，这包括调动负责这些需求标签的研发团队。
"This strategic move turbocharges our retail expansion, especially in the booming Middle East markets," declared Miss Eva Siu, Chairlady and CEO of NCI. "The current licensing model simply doesn't give us the control we need. Now, with full IP ownership, we can supercharge our growth plans."
NCI董事长兼首席执行官Eva Siu女士表示：“这一战略举措推动了我们的零售扩张，尤其是在蓬勃发展的中东市场。”“当前的许可模式根本无法为我们提供所需的控制权。现在，有了完全的知识产权所有权，我们可以加强我们的增长计划。”
NCI's CFO, Mr. Patrick Lau, echoed this sentiment: "Owning these prized assets outright eliminates potential costly royalties and end licensing uncertainties once and for all. It's a game-changer that will maximize shareholder value as we scale up our retail footprint worldwide."
NCI首席财务官Patrick Lau先生也表达了同样的观点：“完全拥有这些珍贵的资产可以消除潜在的昂贵特许权使用费，并一劳永逸地消除许可的不确定性。它改变了游戏规则，随着我们在全球范围内扩大零售业务，它将最大限度地提高股东价值。”
The asset transfer is expected to be completed within 6 months, setting the stage for NCI's next phase of dynamic growth.
资产转让预计将在6个月内完成，为NCI下一阶段的动态增长奠定基础。
