Insights

Hotel101 outlines a sizable, but still conditional, $300M convertible preferred raise to support global expansion.

Hotel101 Global is considering issuing perpetual convertible preferred shares in private placements to qualified institutional buyers, targeting up to USD 300 million. Because terms like dividend rate, conversion price and initial conversion premium are not disclosed in this excerpt, the economic impact on existing shareholders, including dilution, remains undefined.

The company states that proceeds would primarily support its asset-light, tech-enabled condotel expansion strategy, using joint ventures and licensing to scale across multiple countries. It highlights an approximate market capitalization of US$2.34 billion as of January 16, 2026, giving a sense of the potential relative size of the planned raise.

The proposed transaction is described as subject to market conditions, engagement of intermediaries, definitive agreements and regulatory approvals, and may occur in tranches during 2026. Actual effects on capital structure and growth capacity will depend on whether the offering is consummated and on final security terms to be detailed in future documentation.
