Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Acquisition of Sony Life Financial Advisers Pte. Ltd.
On April 5, 2023, OnePlatform International Limited, a Hong Kong company and a wholly owned subsidiary of AGBA Group Holding Limited (the “Purchaser”), entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sony Life Singapore Pte. Ltd., a Singapore company (the “Seller”) to purchase 100% of Sony Life Financial Advisers Pte. Ltd., a Singapore company (“SLFA”).
The Seller owns 100% of SLFA, which is a duly-licensed financial advisor and exempt insurance broker in Singapore. Established in 2017, SLFA has successful track record of operations and has developed a platform and a growing ecosystem addressing both affluent expatriate and local customers in Singapore.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, the Purchaser has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interest of SLFA from the Seller, for a cash consideration of SG$2,500,000 (approximately US$1,882,000) (the “Purchase Price”), subject to certain adjustments based on the levels of cash and debt at closing (the “Transaction”). The Purchase Price will be paid in full at the closing of the Transaction. The Purchase Agreement and the Transaction were unanimously approved by the board of the Purchaser.
The closing of the Transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The closing is expected to occur in the third-quarter of 2023. In the event that the Transaction is not consummated by September 30, 2023, or such other date as the Seller and the Purchaser may mutually agree in writing, the Purchase Agreement shall lapse and cease to have any legal effect.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
