Ann: Company appointment of new Chairman, page-91

Interesting. One of Mr Jordan's roles is as Chairman of the Board of 4finance. This is the supervisory board of  Finstar Financial Group. Prior to that he was CEO of Finstar from October 2015 to October 2017. A little bit about Finstar:

"Finstar is an international private equity firm operating in Europe, the US, Asia, Latin America and the CIS. Finstar is strongly focused on fintech, but historically it has been highly successful in the financial services, IT, FMCG retail, media, and real estate sectors.

The Group has 20 years of operational experience launching new projects in developing markets, restructuring existing companies to become more competitive, as well as sealing new partnerships and M&A agreements, and building greenfield start-ups.

Finstar’s philosophy of partnership brings strategic value and insight to private equity and venture capital early-stage and growth investments, allowing its companies to succeed in complex developing markets, while raising their investment prospects

Finstar is currently focused on leveraging this expertise in the fintech sector, where changes in consumer behavior, advances in cloud-based technology, the growing power and availability of mobile devices, and the emergence of data science are challenging traditional financial institutions as never before, while opening new whitespace for emerging players to serve the near 2.5 billion people in the world categorized as underbanked or financially underserved."

It would not surprise me that Finstar will take an active interest in BIG. The above quote seems to match BIG's current situation rather well. They seem to be experienced in the tech sector and are looking for opportunities to expand. Some mentioned that they would like Mr Jordan to be more experienced in the tech sector; well I think his links to the above company might meet those requirements.

More about Finstar's focus and their recent announcements:
