EQT completes acquisition of PropertyGuru

PropertyGuru will now operate as a privately held company.

EQT has completed the acquisition of PropertyGuru for $1.4b (US$1.1b) through BPEA Private Equity Fund VIII.

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.

PropertyGuru’s common shares ceased trading before the market opened on 13 December, and the company has been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. PropertyGuru will operate as a privately held company.

EQT will advance PropertyGuru’s strategic initiatives, strengthen its position in Southeast Asia’s PropTech sector, and drive growth in dynamic markets influenced by urbanisation, middle-class expansion, and digitalisation.

“Drawing on EQT's expertise in technology-driven businesses, with a strong focus on marketplace and classifieds platforms, we look forward to supporting PropertyGuru in exploring new opportunities, enhancing its offerings, and driving its next phase of growth while contributing to the evolution of the property market in Southeast Asia,” Janice Leow, partner in the EQT Private Capital Asia advisory team and head of EQT Private Capital Southeast Asia said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
