ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN and STAMFORD CT / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2022 / Freedom Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:FRHC) ("Freedom Holding") and MKM Holdings LLC ("MKM Holdings") today announced that they have mutually agreed to terminate the previously announced acquisition of MKM Partners LLC ("MKM Partners") by Freedom Holding from MKM Holdings due to business and market conditions arising from international geopolitical conditions.

"We were excited about the synergies that would have benefitted our clients and employees through the acquisition of MKM Partners by Freedom Holding, a vibrant and growing financial services firm with offices throughout Europe and Asia. The current global turmoil and the strong international reaction to the conflicts have caused many companies to reevaluate their expansion plans and pending deals." stated a Member of the MKM Management Committee.
