Aug 16 (Reuters) - Swedish investment firm EQT AB
will acquire PropertyGuru ( PGRU ) in an all-cash
deal, valuing the Singapore-based online real estate platform at
$1.1 billion, the latter said on Friday.
As part of the deal, PropertyGuru's ( PGRU ) shareholders will
receive $6.70 per share, a 7% premium to the firm's last close
on Thursday.
PropertyGuru ( PGRU ) will be acquired by EQT Private Capital Asia,
the Swedish private equity firm's Asia-focused buyout fund.
The Singaporean firm went public in 2022 after a merger with
a special purpose acquisition company called Bridgetown 2
Holdings.
Australian real estate firm REA Group ( RPGRF ) owns a more
than 17% stake in PropertyGuru ( PGRU ) and said it expects around A$286
million ($189.6 million) in proceeds from the sale.
