Significant events
- “On March 25, 2024, American Express Global Business Travel ("Amex GBT"), which is operated by Global Business Travel Group, Inc. (NYSE: GBTG) ("Amex GBT") announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the Group. The closing of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Considering the US Department of Justice communicated in July 2025 that it dismissed its claim against the merger, the Directors expect the transaction to be completed before the end of 2025.”

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
