ESS Tech

According to CEO Drew Buckley, ESS Tech agreed in a non-binding letter of intent with an unnamed private company in the energy sector that existing ESS shareholders would hold roughly 5–10% of the merged company. The transaction implies a combined enterprise value of about $515 million; the announced premium refers to ESS’s fully diluted market capitalization at the time the definitive agreement is signed. Final valuation, exchange ratio and ownership stakes are still to be determined and depend on due diligence and approvals from boards, shareholders and regulators; an agreement is sought by the end of September and a closing before year-end. ESS is currently trading around $0.33 and recently completed a direct placement of $3.2 million at $0.50 per share. » Plus sur de.investing.com
