After over a month, the firm today revealed that HotApps has been completely acquired by Fragmented Industry Exchange Inc. for US$700m.
It will be financed was the issuance of 1.0 million new shares at US$10 each (US$10 million) and US$690 million worth of zero-coupon perpetual bonds with a conversion price of US$10 each.
The proposed transaction resulted in SeD owning 99.84% of FIE. FIE will in turn hold HotApps as a wholly owned subsidiary.
