EQT Private Capital Asia to acquire PropertyGuru for US$1.1b

The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2024 or Q1 2025.

EQT Private Capital Asia will acquire PropertyGuru for $1.4b (US$1.1b) through BPEA Private Equity Fund VIII Ltd., part of EQT’s Asia investment platform.

PropertyGuru’s major shareholders, including TPG and KKR, which hold 56% of the company’s ordinary shares, have agreed to support the merger.

Each ordinary share of the company issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time will be canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive $8.77 (US$6.70) per share in cash, without interest.

The merger consideration represents a 52% premium to PropertyGuru’s closing share price on 21 May, as well as a 75% and 86% premium to the company’s 30-day and 90-day volume-weighted average share prices, respectively, for the period ending 21 May.

The transaction is set to close in Q4 2024 or Q1 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by PropertyGuru’s shareholders and receipt of regulatory approvals. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition.

Upon completion of the transaction, PropertyGuru’s shares will no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange, and the company will become private. PropertyGuru’s headquarters will remain in Singapore.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
