The transaction involved Globetronics Technology Berhad partnering with Kaynes Semicon Private Limited, a subsidiary of Kaynes Technology India Limited, a publicly traded corporation.

The deal, valued at US$7.59 million, entails ISO Technology Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globetronics Technology Berhad, providing technical services for outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing to Kaynes Semicon. Moreover, ISO Technology plans to reinvest US$5.28 million into Kaynes Semicon’s securities.

The advisory team from Trilegal, led by Corporate Partner Sanjam Arora, played a pivotal role in facilitating this landmark transaction.
