Deal Highlights: Cross-Border Bolt-On Acquisition

We are pleased to have acted for a USA-incorporated company in its acquisition of the majority equity interest in a long-established Malaysian manufacturer, as part of a strategic bolt-on acquisition to complement and expand its operations in the region.

Our Corporate and Commercial team advised on all legal aspects of the transaction, including legal due diligence, negotiation, and finalisation of the definitive agreements.

The transaction required close milestone tracking and strategic oversight, especially in navigating the sensitivities surrounding the staged payments and the commercial terms agreed between the parties.

The transaction was led by members of our Corporate and Commercial team – Kenneth Wong, Chermaine Chen, and Lee Yen Chyi  – whose dedication and collaborative effort were instrumental in bringing the deal to fruition.

Our Corporate team regularly advises local and international corporations on mergers and acquisitions (M&A), cross-border transactions, joint ventures, and corporate restructuring. We also provide comprehensive support for shareholders’ agreements and general commercial advisory to help businesses navigate the Malaysian regulatory landscape.
