Diginex Completes Strategic Acquisition of Climate Tech Firm Plan A

The regulatory technology company Diginex has finalized its acquisition of the German carbon accounting platform Plan A Earth. The transaction, valued at €55 million, was completed yesterday and significantly expands Diginex’s capabilities in the sustainability sector. The deal not only brings AI-powered climate accounting technology into Diginex’s portfolio but also introduces major corporate clients such as BMW and new shareholders Visa and Deutsche Bank.

Transaction Structure and Immediate Impact

Under the terms of the agreement, the €55 million purchase price consists of a €3 million cash component and the issuance of approximately 6.72 million new Diginex ordinary shares, valued at roughly €52 million. This share-based payment means that Plan A’s existing investors, financial giants Visa and Deutsche Bank, will now hold equity in Diginex. The two parties had initially signed a letter of intent on December 2, 2025, with yesterday’s closing transferring 100% of Plan A’s shares to Diginex.

The market’s reaction to this strategic move will be closely watched following today’s market open. The creation of 6.72 million new shares is expected to be a key factor influencing the stock’s trading activity.

A Powerful Combined Offering

Plan A Earth contributes several critical assets to the merged entity:

Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Diginex?

• An AI-driven software platform for corporate carbon footprint calculation and decarbonization planning.
• An established European client roster featuring industry leaders like BMW, Deutsche Bank, and Visa.
• A strong market presence within Europe.
• Specialized technology for setting and tracking science-based climate targets.

This acquisition allows Diginex to merge its existing expertise in ESG reporting—which covers 19 global frameworks—with Plan A’s focused carbon accounting technology. The combination is designed to create a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for corporate sustainability reporting and climate transparency.

Strategic Rationale and Future Growth

The logic behind the merger extends beyond a simple product expansion. For Diginex, Plan A provides a direct gateway into the European market. Conversely, Diginex’s status as a publicly-listed company offers the global infrastructure necessary to support Plan A’s potential expansion into Asian and North American markets. Diginex Chairman Miles Pelham described the acquisition as a “decisive milestone in building the most advanced sustainability platform.”

Looking ahead, Diginex is concurrently engaged in discussions with debt financiers regarding another potential acquisition target, Resulticks Global Companies Pte Limited. The company has clarified, however, that this subsequent deal is not guaranteed.

The official announcement of the Plan A acquisition was made yesterday at 14:00 CET. The transaction positions the combined group to capitalize on the rapidly expanding sustainability and regulatory technology (RegTech) sector.
