K2 provides corporate finance advisory services to companies. This covers advice on capital structure, business strategy and transaction preparation, and services relating to mergers and the acquisition of businesses.
In the European Union these are ancillary services under Annex I, Section B(3) of Directive 2014/65/EU (MiFID II). Under Article 6(1) of that Directive, no authorisation is granted for ancillary services alone. National laws implementing MiFID II treat them the same way, for example § 4(3)(c) of the Czech Capital Market Undertakings Act (No. 256/2004 Coll.).
K2 is not a licensed investment firm or bank, and is not a registered broker-dealer or investment adviser. K2 is not authorised or registered with any financial supervisory authority in the European Union, the United Kingdom or the United States. In particular, K2 is not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or FINRA.
