Nexion Group to Delist with $2 Million Net Assets Ahead of Acquisition-Led Rebuild

Delisting Marks Strategic Reset for Nexion

Nexion Group Ltd (ASX:NNG) is set to be removed from the ASX official list in April 2026 after a two-year trading suspension and the disposal of its core businesses left it below the exchange’s listing requirements. The company’s board has confirmed that following the sale of its primary undertakings and a balance sheet restructure in late 2025, the residual entity no longer meets the ASX’s criteria for continued listing.

While delisting often signals a company’s decline, Nexion’s board is positioning this move as a strategic reset. The company will continue as an unlisted public entity with net assets of approximately $2 million, aiming to reduce costs and preserve shareholder value during a rebuild phase focused on acquiring new software assets.

New CEO Robert Minson to Lead Acquisition Drive

To accelerate this transformation, Nexion has appointed Robert Minson as CEO. Minson brings a blend of energy, software, and consulting expertise, notably having served as Managing Director of Palantir Australia and co-founding CarbonTP, a Perth-based energy transition advisory. His engineering background and experience with software roll-ups and start-ups position him to lead the search for acquisitions that can scale the business back to a relistable size.

Former interim CEO and current Chairman Peter Christie will remain in his leadership role, providing continuity as the company pursues this ambitious turnaround. This leadership structure aims to balance fresh operational momentum with experienced governance.

Acquisition Strategy Follows Significant Divestments

Nexion’s pivot follows a series of major divestments, including the sale of its Networks and Blue Sky Telecom subsidiaries. These moves generated a net profit surge of $6.3 million in the first half of 2026, driven largely by gains on subsidiary sales, even as continuing operations showed losses. The company has been gradually shifting focus towards software and data centre operations, including the FuseAI platform, as part of its plan to rebuild a scalable technology business.

This strategy is reminiscent of previous efforts to regain ASX trading status, as the company has navigated ongoing operational challenges while managing steady income from vendor finance and maintenance contracts. The decision to delist now and operate unlisted reflects a pragmatic approach to reducing overheads and buying time to execute acquisitions effectively.

Notably, this development follows Nexion’s recent $6.3 million profit surge that masked underlying operational difficulties, underscoring the complexity of the turnaround.

Uncertain Timeline for Re-admission to ASX

The board has committed to pursuing acquisitions to build a consolidated group with sufficient scale to apply for re-admission to the ASX. However, the timeline and likelihood of success remain unclear, as no specific acquisition targets or financial projections have been disclosed. Shareholders will need to watch closely for updates on deal progress and the company’s evolving financial position.

Meanwhile, Nexion will maintain communication with shareholders through periodic updates, encouraging investors to keep contact details current to receive timely information.
