Treasure Global Signs $38M MOU for 51% Stake in Smart Water Metering Firm
TGL is trading near its 52-week low of $2 (7.0% above the low).
Summary
Treasure Global signed a non-binding MOU to acquire a 51% controlling stake in Mestiz Century Logic (MCL), a Malaysian smart water metering company, for US$38 million in cash. The deal includes a 120-day exclusivity period for due diligence and negotiation of a definitive agreement. This marks Treasure Global's entry into the smart utility infrastructure sector, diversifying beyond its digital payments and enterprise AI portfolio. The acquisition is subject to due diligence, regulatory approvals, and board consent, so completion is not guaranteed. Given the company's small market cap and recent going concern warning, the $38 million cash commitment is significant and could strain liquidity if the deal proceeds. The announcement follows a series of recent strategic moves, including a $52 million partnership and a $367 million solar farm AI project, indicating an aggressive expansion push.
At the time of this announcement, TGL was trading at $2.14 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $4.2M. The 52-week trading range was $2.00 to $58.00.
