SGT Capital’s Partners Take Legal Action Against The Payments Group and Mr. Christoph Gerlinger

SGT Capital and their legal entities have commenced legal action in Germany against The Payments Group Holding GmbH & Co. KGaA (PGH) and its Managing Director, Mr Christoph Gerlinger for defamation, unfair competition, and reputational harm. This follows a misleading and defamatory press release issued by PGH on 13 February 2025, containing false claims about SGT Capital’s partners and their affiliated entities. 

Separately, in January 2025, SGT Capital GP S.à r.l. initiated legal proceedings in Luxembourg to recover EUR 3.82 million wrongfully retained by TGS24 Capital Pte. Ltd., a PGH subsidiary.

These matters concern only SGT Capital’s partners and their own personal finances. SGT Capital remains fully focused on its investment activities and fund management, which have no connection to these disputes.
