Legal complaint concerning the sale of Jagex
After Carlyle announced its acquisition of a majority stake, Plutos Sama Holdings filed a legal complaint asserting that the earlier transfer of Jagex from Shanghai Hongtou to Macarthur Fortune was invalid. Plutos Sama alleged that it had made a sole bid for Hongtou, including Jagex, in 2020 and argued that the transaction should have been completed. The cited material reports the complaint and allegations, but does not establish that the claims were upheld.
