Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
This filing does not report standard periodic financial metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, or margins. Instead, it details a specific transaction:
- Transaction Type: Sale of 99.55% of Hapi Metaverse Inc. (505,341,376 shares).
- Counterparty: HWH International Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of Alset (related party transaction).
- Purchase Price: $19,910,603.00.

- Maturity Date: Five years from the date of the Term Sheet (February 5, 2031).
Material Changes and Related Party Considerations
The transaction represents a material change in Alset's asset structure, divesting nearly all ownership of Hapi Metaverse Inc. in favor of a related party. The deal was approved by Alset's Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Two board members, Chan Heng Fai and Chan Tung Moe, recused themselves from deliberations and voting due to potential conflicts of interest.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Closing Conditions: The transaction is not yet closed. Closing is subject to standard conditions, including approval by stockholders of the Buyer (HWH International Inc.) holding a majority of its common stock. Since Alset and its affiliates own the majority of the Buyer, this approval is a key contingency.
Risks: The consideration is not immediate cash but a long-term convertible note, exposing Alset to the credit risk of the Buyer and the valuation risk of the Buyer's stock at the time of conversion.
Investor Verification Checklist
