Mergers & Acquisitions

We are honoured to be entrusted once again by Catcha Digital Berhad in its latest strategic move – the acquisition of a majority equity interest in a leading group of exhibition and event management companies, renowned for organising large-scale trade exhibitions across diverse industries.

The transaction was led by Kenneth Wong, Chermaine Chen, Emily Lee En Ying and Lee Yen Chyi from our Corporate and Commercial team, who advised on all legal aspects from due diligence to the negotiation and finalisation of the definitive agreements.

The deal involved a pre-transaction restructuring and the acquisition of 3 entities (comprising the main target company, its subsidiary and associate company). It was structured with performance-based elements, where tailored legal solutions and seamless collaboration were crucial in aligning with the commercial objectives of both parties.

Congratulations to Catcha Digital’s team, Eric Tan, Oscar Ong and Chin Yi Hong on this exciting new milestone!

We are pleased to have acted for the Vendors in a series of land disposal transactions involving parcels of freehold land located along Jalan Puchong, Kuala Lumpur.

The signing ceremony for the sale and purchase agreements (“SPAs”) took place on 1 July 2025, marking the commencement of these transactions. Senandung Raya Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kerjaya Prospek Group Berhad, entered into three separate SPAs with the following Vendors:

• one with Sunrise Bright City Sdn Bhd for the acquisition of a parcel of land measuring approximately 1.5681 hectares for RM59.08 million; and
• two with Top Up Properties Sdn Bhd, for two adjoining parcels measuring approximately 0.6980 and 0.7280 hectares, valued at RM26.30 million and RM27.43 million respectively.

This deal also brought our involvement with the Vendors full circle, as we had previously advised them on two of their initial land acquisitions nearly a decade ago.

We are pleased to share that our Corporate & Commercial team – comprising Kenneth Wong, Chermaine Chen and Lee Yen Chyi recently advised on an acquisition exercise involving a company whose main asset is a large parcel of land.

Unlike our typical M&A transactions, this deal required a particular focus on land-related issues, as our client plans to develop the site into industrial factories.

This transaction marks the third M&A deal we’ve successfully advised on in the past two months. We extend our gratitude to our clients for placing their trust in us.

We are pleased to share that the firm’s Corporate & Commercial team, comprising Kenneth Wong, Chermaine Chen, and Emily Lee En Ying, has successfully completed an exciting acquisition transaction.

We acted for the purchaser in acquiring a 51% stake in a leading digital marketing company with operations in Malaysia and Thailand. This transaction stood out for its complexity, as the purchaser focused solely on the Malaysian and Thai operations, while the vendor retained ownership of other group entities involved in similar, non-competing businesses.

Key challenges included coordinating a seamless internal restructuring on the vendor’s side and ensuring that the acquired companies could operate harmoniously alongside the vendor’s retained businesses. Striking a balance to maintain synergies between the parties’ respective entities was vital to achieving a mutually beneficial outcome for all stakeholders.

We extend our appreciation to Donovan & Ho, represented by Shawn Ho and Sylvia Lock, who acted for the vendor. Their expertise and collaborative approach were instrumental in overcoming the intricacies of this deal.
