Former Chairman Daniel Levy Sells Minority Share in ENIC
前主席 Daniel Levy 出售 ENIC 少數股權
Introduction
Daniel Levy has agreed to sell a 24.99% stake in ENIC, the parent company of Tottenham Hotspur, to Eight Sports Capital.
Daniel Levy 已同意將熱刺（Tottenham Hotspur）母公司 ENIC 24.99% 的股份出售給 Eight Sports Capital。
Main Body
The deal involves transferring shares from the Levy family trust to Eight Sports Capital Limited. As a result of this sale, Mr. Levy will keep a small share of approximately 4.89% in ENIC. The buyer, Eight Sports Capital, is part of Triller, an American technology and entertainment company owned by Richard Tsai and Wing-Fai Ng. The firm is managed by CEO Brooklyn Earick, a former NASA engineer who has successfully raised over £25 billion from various large investors.
此次交易涉及將 Levy 家族信託的股份轉讓給 Eight Sports Capital Limited。由於這次出售，Levy 先生將在 ENIC 保留約 4.89% 的少量股份。買家 Eight Sports Capital 是 Triller 的一部分，Triller 是一家由 Richard Tsai 和 Wing-Fai Ng 擁有的美國科技與娛樂公司。該公司由 CEO Brooklyn Earick 管理，她是一位前 NASA 工程師，已成功從各類大型投資者處籌集超過 250 億英鎊。
This financial change follows a period of leadership transitions. Mr. Levy left his position as chairman in September 2025 after twenty-four years, a move caused by a restructuring plan from the Lewis Family Trust. The Lewis family still holds a controlling interest of 70.12% in ENIC, and Peter Charrington has now taken over as chairman. This change in management happened while the team struggled on the pitch, finishing 17th in the Premier League for two years in a row. Although the exact price is secret, experts estimate that a 25% stake could be worth nearly £1 billion.
這次財務變動發生在領導層交接期之後。Levy 先生在任職 24 年後，於 2025 年 9 月卸任主席，此舉是由 Lewis 家族信託的重組計劃所導致。Lewis 家族仍持有 ENIC 70.12% 的控股權，而 Peter Charrington 現已接任主席。管理層變動之際，球隊在球場上表現掙扎，連續兩年英超排名第 17 位。雖然具體價格保密，但專家估計 25% 的股份價值可能接近 10 億英鎊。
Conclusion
This sale ends Daniel Levy's main financial connection to the parent company and brings new American investment into the club through Eight Sports Capital.
此次出售結束了 Daniel Levy 與母公司之間的主要財務聯繫，並透過 Eight Sports Capital 為球會引入新的美國投資。

🚀 The Power of 'Nominalization' (Turning Actions into Things)
At the A2 level, you usually say: "The company restructured, so Mr. Levy left." To reach B2, you need to use nouns to describe actions. This makes your English sound professional and academic.
Look at this phrase from the text:
*"...a move caused by a restructuring plan..."
Instead of using a verb ("they restructured"), the author uses a noun ("restructuring plan"). This is the secret to sounding more formal.

Compare these two ways of saying the same thing. The B2 version focuses on the concept (the noun) rather than the person (the subject):
| A2 Style (Basic) | B2 Style (Advanced/Professional) |
|---|---|
| The team struggled on the pitch. | This change in management happened while the team struggled. |
| Daniel Levy sold some shares. | This financial change follows a period of transitions. |
| He is not the chairman anymore. | This sale ends his financial connection to the company. |
💡 Pro-Tip for your Transition
When you want to move from A2 to B2, stop asking "Who did what?" and start asking "What is the name of this situation?"
- Don't just say: "They changed the manager." Say: "There was a leadership transition."
- Don't just say: "He is selling a part of the company." Say: "He is selling a minority share."
By focusing on these 'heavy' nouns, you bridge the gap between simple conversation and professional fluency.
