AMTD companies plan share exchange program for cryptocurrencies

PARIS/NEW YORK/SINGAPORE - AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE:AMTD; SGX:HKB), currently trading at $1.08 with a market capitalization of $74.64 million, AMTD Digital Inc. (NYSE:HKD), and The Generation Essentials Group (NYSE:TGE) announced Tuesday plans to initiate a program allowing cryptocurrency holders to exchange digital assets for newly issued shares in the companies. According to InvestingPro data, AMTD IDEA Group trades at notably low multiples with a P/E ratio of 1.38 and a Price/Book ratio of 0.04.

The initiative, called the "AMTD cryptocurrency conversion program," will enable holders of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, BNB, and USD Coin to convert their digital assets into ordinary shares or American depositary shares of the three NYSE-listed companies at mutually agreed pricing based on market valuations. AMTD IDEA Group enters this initiative with strong liquidity, maintaining a healthy current ratio of 10.44, as revealed by InvestingPro analysis.

According to the announcement, exchanges may be arranged across any combination of the three companies rather than requiring allocation to a single entity.

The companies positioned the program as offering cryptocurrency holders an opportunity for portfolio diversification, describing it as a "bridge connecting the world of crypto assets with one of the world’s leading stock exchanges." The announcement comes as AMTD IDEA Group shows positive momentum, with a significant 9.47% return over the past week.

AMTD IDEA Group is a subsidiary of AMTD Group, while AMTD Digital is a controlled subsidiary of AMTD IDEA Group. The Generation Essentials Group operates as a controlled subsidiary of AMTD Digital.

The companies stated the program is subject to applicable laws and regulations. Their announcement specified that it does not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation to buy securities in jurisdictions where such transactions would be unlawful without proper registration or qualification.
