TIAN RUIXIANG Holdings Ltd’s Subsidiary Enters into Sale and Purchase Agreement for Licensed Insurance Broker in Hong Kong

 

BEIJING, Feb. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TIAN RUIXIANG Holdings Ltd (Nasdaq: TIRX) (the "Company"), a China-based insurance broker conducting business through its variable interest entity in China, today announced that TRX HongKong Investment Limited (“TRX HongKong”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “SPA”) to acquire Peak Consulting Services Limited ("the Target") from Yuefu Company Limited (the “Vendor”), the sole shareholder of the Target. The Target is a licensed insurance brokerage in Hong Kong. This strategic acquisition represents a milestone in the Company's business to expand into the Hong Kong insurance brokerage market.

 

Pursuant to the SPA, the proposed acquisition (the “Acquisition”) is conditioned upon, among other things, the completion of a satisfactory diligence review of the Target by TRX HongKong prior to the consummation of the Acquisition.

 

The total consideration for the Acquisition is $1.5 million, to be paid in 3,472,222 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, which was calculated based on $0.432 per share, equivalent to 80% of the closing price of $0.54 per share on January 31, 2024, on NASDAQ.

 

Upon the consummation of the Acquisition, the management of TRX HongKong will work closely with the management of the Target to aim for a seamless integration of operations in an effort to deliver enhanced value propositions to insurance clients in the Hong Kong market.

 

Mr. Zhe Wang, Chairman and CEO of TIAN RUIXIANG Holdings Ltd, stated, "This acquisition aligns with our long-term strategic vision of establishing a presence beyond mainland China’s insurance brokerage market. We are excited about the growth opportunities in the Hong Kong market and are committed to leveraging our expertise and resources in order to capitalize on such opportunities."
