Logiq Signs LOI to Acquire Privately Held Operating Company
17 November 2022 - 10:30PM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
Logiq, Inc. (OTCQX: LGIQ) (“the Company”), a provider of
digital consumer acquisition solutions, today announced that it has
signed a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with a privately held
operating company (“PrivCo”) in which – effectively simultaneous
with Logiq’s pending de-SPAC transaction with Abri SPAC I (Nasdaq:
ASPA) – Logiq will acquire PrivCo in a share exchange of newly
issued Logiq shares for 100% of the shareholder interests of
PrivCo. PrivCo will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
and is expected to place executives in senior management positions.
The recent announcement of the Abri SPAC I (special purpose
acquisition company) transaction for Logiq opens a possibility for
Logiq to acquire PrivCo simultaneous with the DataLogiq business
being acquired by Abri. Properly structured, the combined entity
post transaction anticipates:
- Closing a significant capital raise in connection with the
transaction, as well as
- Meeting listing qualifications to apply for an up-listing from
Logiq’s current OTCQX listing to Nasdaq or NYSE after closing.
PrivCo attributes include:
1. A preliminarily agreed upon gross valuation for transaction
purposes of between $225 million and $300 million2. Operates in a
popular industry offering above-market secular growth potential3.
Large institutional shareholders including an American fund
management company, Swiss bank and Asian conglomerate
Logiq Chief Executive Officer, Brent Suen, commented, “We are
excited about the late-stage discussions underway with this
privately held operating company to complete a transaction that is
win-win for both companies’ shareholders. Our next step is to
execute a definitive merger agreement, which we will communicate to
our shareholders as soon as we are able to do so, along with
further details about the identity and attributes of the target
acquisition.”
The closing of the intended transaction with PrivCo is expected
to occur not later than March 31, 2023 but may well be considerably
sooner depending on the timing of a definitive merger agreement and
the timing of Logiq’s de-SPAC transaction with Abri SPAC I.
