香港2019年11月12日 /美通社/ — 中国独立在线营销与企业数字化运营解决方案提供商爱点击互动亚洲集团有限公司（纳斯达克代码: ICLK，以下简称“爱点击”或“公司”）今天宣布完成向Marine Central Limited公司出售总规模为2,000万美元于2022年11月11日到期的三年期可转换债券（以下简称“可转债”）。Marine Central Limited此次购买可转债，受到福布斯媒体集团（Forbes Media LLC，旗下拥有《福布斯》杂志等全球顶级商业媒体）的大股东任德章先生（以下简称“任先生”）的支持。此次融资所得将主要用于继续投资公司的企业数字化运营解决方案业务及其他新业务发展。
“我们非常高兴任先生成为我们的主要投资人之一，任先生是福布斯媒体集团大股东，也是香港领先专注于投资东南亚市场的本汇资产管理（亚洲）有限公司（Integrated Asset Management）的所有人，”爱点击共同创始人兼首席执行官薛永康表示，“可转债转换价格的溢价体现了这些新投资者对爱点击的信心。企业数字化运营解决方案在今年正式推出后已为我们的业务做出了重要贡献，并将成为公司未来主要成长动能之一。”
