Bydand Sports LLC, owned by the Gordon Family, now holds 85% shares in Hibernian FC.
Commenting on the share acquisition, Ian Gordon, Hibernian FC’s Chairman said:
“We remain fully committed to the success of Hibernian FC. Every decision we make has Hibernian FC at the heart of it.
“Over the last few months, we have had detailed conversations with the Black Knight Football Club group regarding Hibernian FC. During those discussions it became clear there are philosophical differences in our visions for the Club. We mutually agreed this decision was best for both organisations.
“We would personally like to thank everyone at Black Knight Football Club for amicably agreeing to the share acquisition. We wish Black Knight nothing but the best moving forward.
“The future continues to look bright for Hibernian FC. We are confident in our football, strategic, commercial, and operational teams, and the success they will deliver for years to come.”
Following the completion of the share acquisition, Tim Bezbatchenko and Ryan Caswell have stepped down from the Club’s Board of Directors, and Hibernian FC’s Chief Executive Dan Barnett has joined the Board.
Black Knight Football Club President Tim Bezbatchenko added: “Black Knight Football Club and Hibernian FC have amicably agreed to end the strategic partnership between the two organisations.
“We made progress during our nearly two years working together but ultimately felt this was the right decision for both entities to help reach our respective future goals.
“We wish the Gordon family, the club and Hibernian supporters all the best moving forward.”
