IAS acts for CGH on cross-border sale of Pi Securities to Webull

IAS Advisory acted as Thai legal counsel to Country Group Holdings PCL (SET: CGH) on the sale of its controlling interest in Pi Securities PCL to Webull Holdings (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed Webull Corporation (Nasdaq: BULL).

Pi Securities is one of Thailand’s longer-established brokerages, with 50+ years in the local capital markets and businesses spanning equities, derivatives, wealth management, and depositary receipt issuance. The transaction is a significant cross-border sale of a licensed onshore securities platform and underscores continued international interest in Thailand’s regulated brokerage sector.

IAS Advisory advised CGH on Thai corporate and securities regulation, SET and shareholder processes, and the cross-border aspects of the sale.

The matter was led by co-founders Mr Ittinant Suwanjutha and Ms Patnatwipha Sasithiroj (formerly Siripen Kulworakulpitak), with substantial support from associates Mr Tataraj Indrasukhsri, Mr Thaveerath Rahardja, Mr Watthanai Riyapan, Mr Chanin Tinnakorn, and Ms Napassaporn Trakulroong.
