Majestic Corp PLC - Deeside, Wales-based recycler of precious and non-ferrous metals from used electronics and batteries - Agrees to buy Telecycle Europe Ltd, a recycling peer also based in Deeside. Majestic will pay up £2 million in cash. The deal is conditional on Telecyle delivering an agreed quantity of containers of recyclable materials by the end of December. The agreement is a related-party transaction, as Peter Lai, the 72% owner of Majestic, is the sole owner of Telecycle, which recorded £175,000 in profit after tax in calendar 2023.

Majestic also hires Andrew Male as an independent non-executive director, starting immediately. Male currently is interim chief executive officer of London-listed Cloudbreak Discovery PLC, a Vancouver, Canada-based natural resource project generator.

Majestic separately notes that UK tax collector HMRC has granted Enterprise Investment Scheme status. The EIS scheme grants tax benefits to investors in start-up companies.
