This notice is to make the general public aware that Auberges Trustees Limited has requested the Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA”) to accept surrender of the authorisation to provide trustee and other fiduciary services in terms of the Trusts and Trustees Act (Cap. 331 of the Laws of Malta). The MFSA has accepted the Company’s request. The surrender is entirely voluntary and does not arise as a result of any regulatory action taken by the MFSA.
