Linkage Global Inc. Signs Non-Binding Letter of Intent to Acquire On‑Chain Asset Management Solutions Provider Cicada Tech Limited
TOKYO, Japan, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Linkage Global Inc (NASDAQ: LGCB) (“Linkage Global” or the “Company”), a cross-border e-commerce integrated services provider headquartered in Japan, today announced that it has entered into a non‑binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Cicada Tech Limited (“Cicada Tech”), a company mainly engaged in tokenizing real world assets into liquid on-chain yield instruments, to engage in diligence and negotiations regarding the terms of a potential transaction whereby the Company may acquire 100% of the equity interest in Cicada for an aggregate consideration of $60 million, of which $3 million will be paid in cash and the remaining will be satisfied through the issuance of Linkage Global class A ordinary shares.
Ms. Yang (Angela) Wang, CEO of the Company, commented: “The proposed acquisition of Cicada Tech provides Linkage Global with an opportunity to enter into the fast‑growing on‑chain asset management and RWA tokenization market, and to accelerate the Company’s strategic objective of integrating traditional capital markets with blockchain‑native asset structures. The opportunity to integrate Cicada Tech’s product and service offering, if the proposed acquisition will be completed, will give Linkage Global an operational platform to convert high‑quality real‑world assets into liquid, yield‑bearing tokens, and will support Linkage Global’s efforts to expend its addressable asset base and to create new, recurring fee streams beyond conventional equity transactions.”
The proposed acquisition remains subject to the satisfactory completion of customary financial, technical and legal due diligence, an independent third‑party appraisal of enterprise value, and an independent audit of the Cicada Tech’s financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
The transaction is also conditional upon, among other matters, the negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement containing customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities, receipt of any required regulatory and third‑party approvals, and the absence of any material adverse change. There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction will be completed on the terms contemplated in the LOI or otherwise.
