获日本LY Corp.支持的LAAA将成为Kakao Games第一大股东

一家由日本LY Corp.支持的投资公司将投资3000亿韩元,成为Kakao Games的第一大股东。该交易预计于5月完成,届时Kakao将退居第二大股东。Kakao Games计划利用这笔资金提升全球竞争力。

Kakao Games周三在监管文件中宣布,由日本LY Corp.支持的LAAA Investment将收购其部分股权,并购买价值2400亿韩元的新股及600亿韩元的可转换债券。这笔总额为3000亿韩元(约合2.004亿美元)的投资将在5月交易完成后使LAAA成为第一大股东。据《韩国时报》报道,Kakao目前持有40.7%的股份(韩联社数据为37.6%),交易后将降为第二大股东。Kakao Games的一位官员表示:“此次投资决策是Kakao Games提升全球竞争力并夯实可持续增长基础的重要转折点。”该官员补充称:“基于包括Kakao和LY Corp.在内的合作伙伴之间的协作,我们将扩大在全球市场的机遇。”LY Corp.运营着雅虎日本和即时通讯软件Line,这些产品在日本和东南亚地区广受欢迎。受在线服务游戏销售额下滑、开发成本上升以及非核心业务重组的影响,Kakao Games过去五个季度均出现营业亏损。去年,该公司出售了Sena Technologies和Kakao VX的股份,以专注于游戏业务。该公司于2月推出了K-pop益智游戏《SMiniz》,并计划在今年晚些时候发布《Odin: Q》和《ArcheAge Chronicles》。Kakao计划将部分出售股份所得款项进行再投资,以维持合作关系并支持公司的稳定运营。
