Insights

AMTD Digital accelerates its hospitality expansion with two sizable hotel deals.

AMTD Digital, via TGE, has closed acquisitions in Australia and Malaysia: a 50% stake in The Ritz-Carlton, Perth for US$72 million (property value US$201 million) and super majority interests in Kuala Lumpur’s Upper View Regalia Hotel for US$38 million. Both are positioned in prime urban locations.

The Perth asset adds 205 luxury rooms in an iconic waterfront development, while the Kuala Lumpur hotel contributes 129 rooms and will undergo a comprehensive renovation, including new AMTD rooftop signage. Management states that AMTD’s hospitality portfolio now approaches 1,000 rooms, signaling growing scale in this segment.

These moves concentrate more capital into hospitality and premium assets, consistent with AMTD’s stated strategy. Actual financial impact will depend on operating performance after renovation in Kuala Lumpur and on long-term demand trends in Western Australia and Malaysia, which future company filings may detail.

forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains statements that may constitute “forward-looking” statements pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) financial
"TGE is a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsor manager, with its first SPAC successfully raised"
A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) is a company formed solely to raise money from public investors with the goal of merging with or buying a private business so that the private firm becomes publicly traded. Think of it like a pooled investment that gives investors a ticket to an untargeted future deal — it can offer faster access to high-growth companies but also means investors are relying on the SPAC’s managers to find a good deal and face risks if the target underperforms or no deal occurs.
total consideration financial
"for a total consideration of US$72 million (A$100 million), with the property valued"
Total consideration is the full amount of value exchanged in a transaction, including all payments, assets, or benefits involved. It represents what is given up or received in a deal, much like the total price paid when buying a house, covering both the purchase price and any additional costs or benefits. For investors, understanding total consideration helps assess the true scale and value of a transaction.
hospitality portfolio financial
"The completion of this transaction represents another important strategic milestone in the expansion of TGE’s hospitality portfolio."
safe harbor provisions regulatory
"pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."
Safe harbor provisions are rules or legal protections that shield companies or individuals from certain penalties or liabilities when they follow specific guidelines or procedures. They provide a sense of security, encouraging compliance and innovation by reducing the fear of legal repercussions if they act in good faith. For investors, these provisions help ensure that companies are transparent and accountable without the risk of unfair punishment for honest mistakes.

AMTD’s Successful Completion of Acquisition of The Ritz-Carlton, Perth, Valued at A$280 Million

(NYSE: HKD), and The Generation Essentials Group (“TGE”, NYSE: TGE; LSE: TGE), a subsidiary of AMTD Digital Inc., (collectively, “AMTD”) jointly announce the successful completion of TGE’s acquisition of 50% interests in The Ritz-Carlton, Perth, Australia, for a total consideration of US$72 million (A$100 million), with the property valued at US$201 million (A$280 million).

 

Located in Perth, the vibrant capital of Western Australia, The Ritz-Carlton, Perth is the centrepiece of the Elizabeth Quay development on Perth’s waterfront. Perched on the edge of the Swan River, the hotel offers unobstructed views of the river, the city skyline, and surrounding urban parks through floor-to-ceiling windows. This irreplaceable location underpins the property’s compelling long-term appreciation potential.

 

The hotel comprises 205 luxury rooms, a restaurant and lounges, a bar, a spa, an infinity pool, a fitness centre, and versatile event spaces. As the 100th Ritz-Carlton hotel globally, the property holds strong symbolic significance within the brand’s portfolio.

The completion of this transaction represents another important strategic milestone in the expansion of TGE’s hospitality portfolio. Upon closing, AMTD’s hospitality portfolio now totals nearly 1,000 rooms, further reinforcing its expanding footprint and long-term commitment to the global hospitality space.

Exhibit 99.2

 

AMTD’s Successful Completion of Acquisition of Upper View Regalia Hotel in Malaysia for US$38 Million

 

PARIS and NEW YORK and LONDON, May 29, 2026  -- AMTD Group Inc. (“AMTD Group”), AMTD IDEA Group (NYSE: AMTD; SGX: HKB), AMTD Digital Inc. (NYSE: HKD), and The Generation Essentials Group (“TGE”, NYSE: TGE; LSE: TGE), a subsidiary of AMTD Digital Inc., (collectively, “AMTD”) jointly announce the successful completion of TGE’s acquisition of super majority interests in the Upper View Regalia Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for a total consideration of US$38 million.

 

The Upper View Regalia Hotel is located at No. 2 Jalan Anjung Putra, Off Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50480, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Strategically positioned in the heart of the city’s main commercial and business district, the property enjoys excellent connectivity and convenient access to key landmarks, including Sunway Putra Mall and Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), both just a few minutes’ walk away, as well as the nearby Open University Malaysia.

 

The property comprises 129 guest rooms and 80 car parking bays, and features a signature rooftop infinity pool offering panoramic views of the Kuala Lumpur skyline by day and night. Following completion of the acquisition, the hotel will undergo a comprehensive renovation. Further, AMTD rooftop signage will be installed, making the hotel a new addition to AMTD’s branded hotel portfolio, alongside iclub AMTD Sheung Wan Hotel (Hong Kong), Dao by Dorsett AMTD Singapore, and AMTD IDEA Tribeca Hotel (New York).

 

AMTD branded hotels focus on serving global citizens and local communities that value high-quality lifestyle and hospitality experiences. Malaysia represents a key strategic market for AMTD, underpinned by resilient economic growth, robust consumer spending, and one of the largest Chinese-speaking populations outside China. AMTD is committed to meeting the evolving hospitality and mobility needs of Malaysia’s growing Chinese and broader Asian communities.

 

This hospitality investment further reinforces AMTD’s broader, long-term commitment to the Malaysian market. In the film sector, AMTD produced the Malaysian film “Mother Bhumi,” directed by award-winning filmmaker Chong Keat Aun and starring Fan Bingbing, with AMTD founder Dr. Calvin Choi serving as executive producer. The film has enjoyed notable success, winning three awards at the 62nd Golden Horse Awards, including Best Leading Actress for Fan Bingbing, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Film Song. Most recently, His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, granted a royal audience to Fan Bingbing and the “Mother Bhumi” production team at Istana Pasir Pelangi. In addition, AMTD’s L’OFFICIEL (Women’s Edition), L’OFFICIEL Hommes (Men’s Edition), and LA REVUE DES MONTRES (luxury watch review) all perform strongly and are deeply integrated into Malaysia’s fashion, culture, and lifestyle landscape. From entering the market through film and media to now establishing a physical hospitality presence, AMTD’s strategy in Malaysia is to deeply cultivate the market and create long-term, sustainable value.

 

 

 

 

The completion of this transaction represents another important strategic milestone in the expansion of TGE’s hospitality portfolio. Upon closing, AMTD’s hospitality portfolio now approaches a total of 1,000 rooms, further reinforcing its expanding footprint and long-term commitment to the global hospitality space.
