GigaMedia invests $1.5 million in Aeolus Robotics through convertible note

TAIPEI - GigaMedia Limited (NASDAQ:GIGM), a micro-cap company with a market capitalization of $15.78 million, announced Monday it has purchased a $1.5 million convertible promissory note from Aeolus Robotics Corporation, a company focused on intellectual robotics design and manufacturing.

The note carries a 4.5% annual interest rate with a 36-month maturity period. According to the terms disclosed in the press release, GigaMedia has the option to convert all or part of the principal amount into Aeolus ordinary shares at $0.02 per share upon maturity, prepayment, or when certain specified events occur.

Both companies described the transaction as representing a "mutual commitment to a longer-term strategic relationship," though specific details about potential collaborative efforts were not provided.

GigaMedia, headquartered in Taipei, operates as a digital entertainment services provider in Taiwan and Hong Kong. The company specializes in development, distribution and operation of digital entertainment with a focus on mobile and casual games. While the company holds more cash than debt on its balance sheet, InvestingPro analysis reveals revenue declined by ~16% in the last twelve months.

The company indicated it continues to review investment alternatives and may make additional investments in Aeolus securities in the future, subject to applicable regulations.

The announcement comes as GigaMedia appears to be diversifying its investment portfolio beyond its core digital entertainment business. The company filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in April 2025.
