A reverse takeover of the former owner of fashion brand In The Style is being eyed after a winding-up petition against the company was dismissed.

As a result of the ruling by the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales, non-executive chairman James Sharp and executive director Richard Monaghan have resigned from Itsarm's board and the company.

At the same time, David Craven and Jean-Paul Rohan have been appointed to the board as non-executive chairman and non-executive director respectively.

As reported by BusinessLive earlier this week, the new directors intend to complete a reverse takeover of the company.

In a statement issued to the London Stock Exchange, Itsarm said: "At this time there is no certainty as to the exact structure, identity or timing of such a transaction(s) or as to whether or not such a transaction(s) will happen at all, but the new directors are assessing a number of potential opportunities."

The company has been a cash shell since the disposal of its trading business in March.

If the business is unable to enter into a transaction by September 27, the company's ordinary shares will be suspended from trading on AIM.
