Significant events
- “On 1 July 2025, the Company purchased 100% shares in Snap One EMEA Limited, an affiliate UK group company, from SNAP ONE LLC for $15,600,000. This valuation includes Snap One EMEA limited and its subsidiaries. Snap One DOO Beograd is based in Serbia and a trading entity and Control 4 GmbH is a dormant entity in Germany.”
- “On 2 July 2025, July the Company issued two additional ordinary shares with a nominal value of £1 each for a total sum of £28,358,811. The shares were issued following the waiver of a loan payable to the parent company, Ademco 4 Limited.”
- “On 30 July 2025, Resideo Technologies Inc announced its intention to spin off the ADI Global Distribution Segment of Resideo into another independent public company that is expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange. Currently this is expected to happen in the latter part of 2026. This will change the ultimate beneficial owner for the Company, but other than that, the impact is not expected to be significant.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
