Insights
TROOPS entering Malaysian co-living market via 49% stake acquisition, using convertible notes with favorable pricing mechanisms.
The LOI announced by TROOPS represents a strategic expansion into the Malaysian real estate market, specifically targeting the growing co-living and co-working segment. The acquisition structure involves purchasing 49% of Jupiter Stone's 62.5% ownership in Y Concept Holding Limited (The Cara Hotel's parent), effectively giving TROOPS an indirect 30.6% economic interest in the underlying asset.
The financing structure is particularly noteworthy. TROOPS will pay using convertible notes priced at a 20% discount to either the closing share price on signing date or the 60-day average closing price, whichever is lower. This pricing mechanism provides a substantial discount and protects TROOPS from potential price volatility. The included repurchase option adds another layer of flexibility, allowing TROOPS to reacquire shares if market conditions become favorable.
The deal's structure also includes a forward-looking component with the put option for the vendor to sell its remaining 51% stake later. This suggests a potential pathway to majority control without requiring immediate full commitment.
While financial terms weren't disclosed, this diversification into Asian real estate markets represents TROOPS' effort to build presence in a growing sector. The co-living/co-working space has shown resilience in many Asian markets, with particular strength in high-density urban areas where housing affordability challenges drive demand for flexible living arrangements. The deal remains subject to due diligence, regulatory approvals, and board authorization.
