Titan Company Ltd on Friday said its subsidiary TCL NA will acquire a 10% stake in the US-based CueZen for $3.5 million in an all-cash deal.
CueZen is engaged in the hyper-personalised health and wellness technology business.
In a stock exchange filing, Titan said that it is a strategic investment aimed at exploring the potential technologies offered by CueZen in the company's smart wearable business.
The deal is expected to be completed by the end of December, the Tata Group company informed bourses.
"TCL North America Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company (Titan), has signed a Series Seed Stock Purchase Agreement with CueZen Inc, a Delaware Corporation, for subscription of Series Seed Preferred Stock in the Common Stock, which would result in TCL NA holding 10% in CueZen on a fully diluted basis,” Titan said.
Titan posted a 10% increase in net profit for the July-September quarter at ₹940 crore from last year. Its revenue rose 33.6% to ₹11,660 crore, compared to ₹8,730 crore in the corresponding quarter of last fiscal.
During the September quarter, the company added 81 stores across verticals, taking the group's retail presence to 2,859 outlets, according to a quarterly update by Titan.
In October, the branded jewellery maker disclosed that its board approved plans to raise up to ₹2,500 crore through multiple avenues.
