The group signed a non-binding letter of intent on the stake acquisition in June this year. At that time, the company estimated the deal to be valued at around A$36m ($26.2m).
The deal consideration included a cash payment of A$15m, a A$6m note, and the issuance of around 2.3 million Canaccord Genuity Group shares worth A$15m.
At the time of the deal announcement, Canaccord Genuity Group president and CEO Dan Daviau said: “This investment provides a stronger foothold to explore opportunities to expand our wealth management businesses and increase contributions from our capital markets business in the region.
“Our Australian team is well integrated into our global platform and has delivered very promising growth in recent years. We look forward to continuing to support their development initiatives in the region.”
