(Reuters) -Hargreaves Lansdown said on Tuesday its finance chief Amy Stirling will step down after three years in the role, as Britain’s largest investment platform comes closer to going private.
Earlier on Tuesday, the company received a court sanction for its 5.4 billion pound ($7.02 billion) deal with an international consortium to take the company private.
The deal by the consortium of CVC capital partners, Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund and Swedish private equity firm Nordic Capital was, in terms of value, the second largest deal for a London-listed firm announced last year.
Shares of Hargreaves will be delisted from the London Stock Exchange on March 25.
Stirling, who was previously the chief financial officer of British conglomerate Virgin Group, will remain with Hargreaves for the transition period.
