Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 9, 2022, Alset Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Alset EHome Inc. and Alset International Limited, two majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company, pursuant to which the Company agreed to reorganize the ownership of its home rental business. Previously, the Company and certain majority-owned subsidiaries collectively owned 132 single-family rental homes in Texas. 112 of these rental homes are owned by subsidiaries of American Home REIT Inc. (“AHR”). The Company owns 85.4% of Alset International Limited, and Alset International Limited indirectly owns approximately 99.9% of Alset EHome Inc.
The closing of the transaction contemplated by this agreement was completed on January 13, 2023. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company has become the direct owner of AHR and its subsidiaries that collectively own these 112 homes, instead of such homes being owned indirectly through Alset International Limited’s subsidiaries.
Alset EHome Inc. sold AHR to the Company for a total consideration of $26,250,933, including the forgiveness of debt in the amount of $13,900,000, a promissory note in the amount of $11,350,933 and a cash payment of $1,000,000. This purchase price represents the book value of AHR as of November 30, 2022.
The closing of this transaction was approved by the shareholders of Alset International Limited. Certain members of the Company’s Board of Directors and management are also members of the Board of Directors and management of each of Alset International Limited and Alset EHome Inc.
