Palayan Resources (OTC: PLYN) Updates Due Diligence Progress for Acquisition of Global FinTech Company with Assistance from Small Business Development Group (OTC: SBDG)
LADY LAKE, FL, April 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — Palayan Resources, Inc. (OTCMarkets: PLYN) today announced that it is finalizing the due diligence process on a Global FinTech company in the money transfer industry with assistance from Small Business Development Group, Inc. (OTC:SBDG) (www.SBDGStock.com). Palayan Resources, Inc. (the “Company” or “Palayan” or “PLYN”) is a publicly traded, fully reporting emerging growth company. It was previously announced that Palayan had signed a “Memorandum of Understanding” to acquire the Global FinTech company; the company has asked not to be identified yet. The transaction is subject to standard due diligence including audited financial statements for the FinTech company. SBDG has led the due diligence process and is serving as a strategic advisor.
“We have made significant progress in the due diligence process; we are verifying the acquisition target’s history, market viability, and validating its potential,” said James E. Jenkins, PLYN CEO and Director. “We believe that the FinTech company can support the transaction value of $80 million USD, and more importantly with its extensive worldwide network of partners and technology, it has the capability of achieving more than U.S. $1 billion in transaction volume.”
The Global FinTech company that is Palayan’s target acquisition is based in Singapore, and the transaction was initially sourced by SBDG S.E.A., SBDG’s Southeast Asia office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
This transaction involves multiple entities, the common thread being C2C Business Strategies, LLC which has a controlling interest in PLYN, and is also the management arm of C2C Private Investment Company. Roy Y. Salisbury, Small Business Development Group CEO and Chairman, explains how the affiliates work together for this transaction: “C2C looks to build value for its stakeholders by capturing the arbitrage value embedded in the private to public process and is always seeking viable candidates for its publicly traded holding companies, SBDG and PLYN. SBDG is further along in the growth process, and thus has access to resources from its operations. Our team at SBDG S.E.A. helped to source the target, as well as serving as the ‘boots on the ground’ in Southeast Asia during the due diligence process. While here in the United States, along with Management’s extensive experience we utilize the services of SBDG’s wholly owned subsidiary, Stony Hill Advisors, a Merger and Acquisition Advisory Firm.”
SBDG will continue to assist PLYN on the next stages of completing this transaction. Palayan is expecting to close this transaction in the second quarter of 2022, subject to a capital raise of $15 to $25 million USD in the form of a 506 (c) Regulation D offering of Series B Preferred.
“This transaction is representative of the services that SBDG is now in the process of rolling out here in Q2 2022,” said Brian Jue, Small Business Development Group Chief Operating Officer and a Director. “This proposed transaction of PLYN acquiring an operating, emerging growth private company touches on numerous services SBDG offers, including Deal Sourcing, Strategic Advisory, Private to Public, and M&A services such as Due Diligence and Valuation. Once complete we will assist with public company compliance, marketing, and access to additional acquisitions. Many of these services are completed by our in-house subsidiaries.”
