BANGKOK, Thailand, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — TotalEnergies ENEOS has successfully completed the installation of a 1.8 megawatt-peak (MWp) floating solar photovoltaic (PV) system project in Thailand with S. Kijchai Enterprise, a Thailand-based manufacturer of wood-based panels. This is the second PV system that TotalEnergies ENEOS has installed for the company within 4 years and the first floating solar PV system for TotalEnergies ENEOS in Asia Pacific.

With over 3,000 modules installed, the solar PV system generates approximately 2,650 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually. This results in a reduction in the company’s overall carbon footprint by approximately 1,125 tons of CO2 emissions, equivalent to planting around 16,800 trees.

Under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), TotalEnergies ENEOS fully funded, installed, and will operate the solar system for the next 12 years. With no upfront investment required, S. Kijchai Enterprise will only pay for the cost of electricity generated during the tenure, leading to significant cost savings for the company.

“At S. Kijchai Enterprise, we are thrilled to complete our second solar project in collaboration with TotalEnergies ENEOS. This floating solar system underscores our commitment to sustainability and demonstrates our ability to harness clean energy solutions. By generating approximately 2,650 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity annually, we are not only achieving cost savings but also making a significant impact on our carbon footprint. This project is a testament to our dedication to innovation and environmental stewardship” shared Harnsiri Sangwongkit, Senior Vice President of S. Kijchai Enterprise in Thailand.

“We are honored by the trust S. Kijchai Enterprise has placed in us to assist them on their decarbonization journey. Achieving this milestone, following the success of the first rooftop solar project, exemplifies our shared commitment to utilizing clean energy solutions for a sustainable future. The completion of this floating solar system brings S. Kijchai Enterprise one step closer to achieving their sustainability goals, while providing additional cost savings.

Transaction marks K1’s seventh exit of 2024 and will contribute to over $2.9 billion in enterprise value realized YTD

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif., Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — K1 Investment Management, LLC (“K1”), one of the largest investors in small-cap enterprise software companies, today announced that its portfolio company Irwin, a leading provider of investor relations (IR) and capital markets software, has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by FactSet (NYSE: FDS | NASDAQ: FDS), a global financial digital platform and enterprise solutions provider. The transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks and marks K1’s second exit to a publicly traded strategic buyer since the summer.

Since K1’s initial investment in 2021, Irwin grew revenue by 4x by introducing new products such as Irwin IQ, expanding into the European market, and securing key partnerships with groups such as FactSet and New York Stock Exchange. This growth has built upon Irwin’s position as a leader in the investor relations software market, becoming a trusted solution for companies and their advisors to streamline investor engagement and relationship management.

“We are proud to have been David Whyte and Mark Fasken’s lead institutional shareholder and to have partnered with them on Irwin’s transformation of the IR landscape,” said Tarun Jain, Principal at K1. “Our focus at K1 is to be the largest investor in small, innovative, and rapidly growing software businesses globally, and helping build them into category leaders that transform their industries. The acquisition of Irwin by FactSet is a testament to the two co-founders, the platform they built and the strength of the partnership we had with them.”

Irwin’s solution is used by IR professionals, who utilize the platform for investor targeting, shareholder monitoring, relationship management, and engagement analytics. The acquisition by FactSet will continue integrating Irwin’s investor relations platform with FactSet’s data, analytics, and research workflows, aiming to offer corporate issuers and IR teams a unified, end-to-end solution to manage their investor relations and capital markets efforts.

“The investment from K1 and subsequent partnership were critical for Irwin to scale as quickly as we did,” said David Whyte, Co-Founder and CEO of Irwin. “K1’s strategic guidance and operational support – as well as their domain experience in enterprise software – have been instrumental in our growth trajectory and this ultimate sale to FactSet. We are excited for this next chapter in our journey and are confident Irwin will continue to see success under FactSet’s ownership.”

The sale of Irwin marks K1’s seventh realization in 2024, and the third sale to a strategic buyer this year. K1 has realized over $2.9 billion in enterprise value year-to-date through notable exits including GoCanvas (sold to Nemetschek Group, FRA: NEM) and Axcient (sold to ConnectWise, a Thoma Bravo portfolio company).
