SKK Holdings Limited has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of Rantizo's drone assets for approximately $258.8 million. The acquisition will be in exchange for newly issued Class A ordinary shares of SKK Holdings Limited. Concurrently, Rantizo will acquire Class B ordinary shares from existing SKK Holdings Limited shareholders for $8 million in cash, giving Rantizo an immediate equity position. The transaction is expected to close subject to shareholder and Nasdaq-100 approval, and regulatory clearances. This move will establish SKK Holdings Limited as a publicly-traded operator of drone-based platforms for commercial applications in precision agriculture, forestry emergency response, and other commercial end markets, significantly expanding its business beyond its current civil engineering services in Singapore. Sze Koon Kiat, CEO of SKK Holdings Limited, and Marianne McInerney, incoming President, highlighted the strategic importance of this transaction for accelerating growth and capturing market share in the unmanned aerial systems sector.
