Solar Alliance provides update on Canadian solar acquisition, extends exclusivity period as due diligence continues
July 20 2023 - 6:00AM
Solar Alliance Energy Inc. (‘Solar Alliance’ or the
‘Company’) (TSX-V: SOLR), a leading solar energy solutions
provider focused on the commercial and industrial solar sector, is
pleased to provide an update on the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) the
Company entered into on May 16, 2023 to acquire a growing,
profitable Canadian solar company (the “Target”) in a predominantly
share-based transaction (the “Transaction”). The Target is a
Western Canadian leader in solar for commercial and utility
customers, with more than 33 MW of commercial and utility solar
projects installed.
The Company is pleased to provide an update of
the Target’s revenue and contracted project backlog. At the time of
the signing of the LOI on May 16, 2023 (the “LOI Execution Date”),
the Target reported year-to-date unaudited 2023 fiscal year (July
31, 2023 year-end) revenue of $5,801,023. The Target’s current
year-to-date unaudited 2023 fiscal year (July 31, 2023 year-end)
revenue is $6,977,528.
At the time of the LOI Execution Date, the
Target had a backlog of contracted projects totaling more than $5.6
million. The Target’s updated backlog of contracted projects is now
$5.2 million.
The Company and the Target have entered into an
amendment agreement dated July 19, 2023 (the “Amendment”) to amend
the LOI by extending the exclusivity period for an additional 30
days. The exclusivity period is now 120 days from the LOI Execution
Date. In consideration of the increased unaudited revenue reported
by the Target, the Amendment also adjusts the number of warrants
issuable upon closing of the Transaction. One common share purchase
warrant (a “Warrant”) will now be issued for each common share of
the Company (a “Common Share”) issued. Each Warrant will entitle
the Target to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price equal
to the lesser of $0.20 or the exercise price of warrants of the
Company to be issued in any financing undertaken by Solar Alliance
in connection with the Transaction.
The total consideration of $6,000,000,
represented by; (a) a cash payment of $500,000, (b) an unsecured
convertible debenture of $700,000, and (c) the issuance of units of
the Company (each, a “Unit”) valued at $4,800,000, with each Unit
comprised of one Common Share and one Warrant, all remain unchanged
except as described above. Further details on the LOI are described
in the Company’s news release dated May 18, 2023.
“Extending the exclusivity period for this
letter of intent is a reflection of the progress we are making as
we continue due diligence,” said CEO Myke Clark. “The updated
financial results from the Target are encouraging and only
strengthen our desire to enter into a binding definitive agreement.
The Amendment represents a reasonable adjustment to the total
consideration while still providing for a highly accretive
acquisition opportunity.”
Closing of the Transaction remains subject to a
number of conditions, including satisfactory completion of due
diligence, the execution of a binding definitive agreement,
shareholder approval and the approval of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
