HRnetGroup to acquire a majority stake in Octomate

The total consideration for the acquisition is $676,530.61.

HRnetGroup will acquire a majority stake of 51% in fintech startup Octomate for a consideration of $676,530.61.

Of the total stake the company will acquire, 49% will be satisfied by a cash payment of $650,000 to an independent seller.

The 2% stake will be acquired from the startup’s CEO and Co-Founder, Zoey Tong.

“The consideration to be paid to Zoey will be announced when the sale and purchase agreement with Zoey is entered into,” the company said.

The acquisition marks the homecoming of Tong who was an intern at HRnet Group eight years ago.

“[She] will now return as the 37th Business Co-Owner of the group,” the company said in a bourse filing.

The acquisition also facilitates the integration of Octomate’s Instant Payment solution with HRnetGroup’s Ease Works app, which allows contractor employees to be paid instantaneously upon approval of their timesheets.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
