70% URAY Acquisition Signed
On Oct 10, 2026, EDTK entered a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 70% of Singapore-based casual game publisher URAY PTE. LTD. from Liu Qingwu. URAY will become a consolidated subsidiary upon closing.
-
Consideration: 500K Shares + Earn-out
Base consideration is 500,000 restricted ordinary shares with a 1-year lock-up, plus a 2.5M-share performance earn-out pool for URAY management and employees. A top-up commitment applies if performance shares exceed the initial pool.
-
US$2M Shareholder Loans
EDTK committed up to US$2 million in unsecured loans, split into two US$1M tranches at 7% annual interest. The first tranche funds after closing and asset migration; the second requires URAY to reach US$750K monthly revenue.
-
Three-Year Performance Targets
The earn-out requires URAY to hit revenue/EBITDA of US$12M/US$1M in year one, US$17M/US$2M in year two, and US$25M/US$3M in year three. Missed targets trigger clawback of unearned shares at par value (US$0.0001).
Analysis · EDTK · Trade & Services
Skillful Craftsman is acquiring a controlling stake in URAY, a Singapore casual-game publisher with a 10-year track record and over 1,000 released games. The consideration includes 500,000 restricted shares as base, a 2.5 million-share performance earn-out pool, and up to US$2 million in 7% shareholder loans. This deal pivots EDTK from education technology into AI-driven game creation and global publishing, with URAY's SMILE AI toolset as the strategic centerpiece. The earn-out is back-loaded: URAY must hit US$12M revenue and US$1M EBITDA in year one, scaling to US$25M and US$3M by year three, or the shares are clawed back at par value. For a company with a US$14.9M market cap and a recent US$8.5M net loss, this is a transformative acquisition, but the consideration is mostly performance-contingent equity rather than cash, limiting immediate dilution.
