Southampton have been taken over by a company backed by Serb media mogul Dragan Solak.
The Premier League club confirmed Sport Republic has bought Chinese businessman Gao Jisheng's 80% stake.
Gao took over Southampton in August 2017, with Katharina Liebherr, who inherited the club from her late father Markus in 2010 when they were in League One, retaining 20%.
Liebherr will continue to own her minority stake in the new deal.
