Limited, a Thai registered company (“Bangkok Tellink”), today
announced their execution of a definitive business combination
agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) for a proposed
business combination in a transaction valued at $350 million on
February 14, 2025.
The transaction contemplated in the Business
Combination Agreement is expected to result in a newly combined
company to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. Upon the closing
of the transaction, Bangkok Tellink will continue to be led by its
CEO, Mr. Nusttanakit Sasianon. The boards of directors of Bangkok
Tellink and Arogo Capital Acquisition Corp. have unanimously
approved the transaction
Bangkok Tellink is a licensed Mobile Virtual
Network Service Operator (“MVNO”) as well as a licensed Mobile
Virtual Network Aggregator (“MVNA”) and offers mobile phone
packages across multiple frequencies (e.g., 700MHz, 850MHz,
2100MHz, 2300MHz, and 26GHz) and, under its “INFINITE” brand,
provides a range of services including Smart Solutions, IoT Sim
Cards, eSIMs, SMPP (i.e., virtual SMS), SIP trunk (voice virtual
number), and software development.
The eSIM market in Thailand is growing as it
offers convenience for consumers and flexibility for businesses.
eSIM technology allows users to switch mobile operators without
changing physical SIM cards and is spearheading a transformative
shift in connectivity, promoting Thailand's progression towards a
sophisticated digital economy. The exploding demand for eSims
reflects Thailand's commitment to expanding its telecommunications
infrastructure and has positioned it as a leader in Southeast
Asia.1
Bangkok Tellink is uniquely positioned to
facilitate the growth of Thailand’s digital economy that is driven
by the need for enhanced economic competitiveness, improved public
services, and sustainable growth. eSIM technology supports this
transformation by simplifying connectivity for businesses and
consumers alike, facilitating more efficient operations, and
enhancing the accessibility of digital services across the
country
Nusttanakit Sasianon,
CEO of Bangkok Tellink commented, “This is an exciting
moment for Bangkok Tellink to expand our business, enhance our
product and service offerings, and accelerate our growth. We are
excited to continue to foster this business combination with the
Arogo team to generate attractive value for our shareholders.”
Suradech
Taweesaengsakulthai, CEO
of Arogo added, “We’re thrilled
to partner with the Bangkok Tellink team to capitalize on their
proven track record and support the expansion of their operations
to meet the demand for its services including Smart Solutions, IoT
Sim Cards, eSIMs, SMPP (i.e., virtual SMS), SIP trunk (voice
virtual number), and software development. We have strong
confidence in Bangkok Tellink's management team and business model.
We look forward to a successful closing of the business
combination."
The completion of the business combination is
subject to regulatory approvals, the approval of the transaction by
the shareholders of Arogo and Bangkok Tellink, and the satisfaction
or waiver of other customary closing conditions.
Bangkok Tellink believes that its planned listing, in addition to
creating a capital platform for its development and gaining the
attention of investors in the international capital markets, will
further promote Bangkok Tellink’s growth strategy.
