Hong Kong: Ant Group is exploring options for founder Jack Ma to divest his stake in the financial technology giant and give up control, as meetings with Chinese regulators signaled to the company that the move could help draw a line under Beijing s scrutiny of its business, according to a source familiar with regulators thinking and two people with close ties to the company.
Reuters is for the first time reporting details of the latest round of meetings and the discussions about the future of Ma s control of Ant, exercised through a complicated structure of investment vehicles.
