The current CEO has been there since 2009, shortly after the acquisition.
Jamplant was incorporated in October of 2008, one month before the acquisition. The director was Andrew Simon Davis, who is frequently listed as a director of shell companies and trusts. In the same month he was appointed director to dozens of other companies.

The Kelkoo Group is based out of the same office as Jamplant, along with dozens of other companies, what indicates a virtual office or company registration service.

It has 5 employees, and seems to have consistently lost money over the past years, and its largest shareholder (and only institutional shareholder) is Kelkoo Group itself.
Kelkoo itself was already dead on the water by the time of the acquisition:
