Actelis Networks Signs Agreement to Acquire Exaware
Actelis Networks announced it has entered into a binding term sheet to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Exawar in an all-stock transaction. Under the binding term sheet, Actelis will acquire 100% of the equity of Exaware in an all-stock transaction. The agreed post-transaction value ratio reflects approximately 40% attributable to Actelis and 60% to Exaware, subject to third-party valuation, receipt of a customary fairness opinion and adjustments, as well as definitive documentation. At closing, Actelis expects to issue 19.9% of its outstanding common stock to Exaware shareholders. The balance of the purchase consideration will be issued in non-voting preferred shares, convertible into Actelis common stock subject to Actelis' compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements and other applicable rules and regulations. The shares issued to Exaware in the transaction will be subject to lock-up for a period of six months from the date of conversion of preferred shares to common stock. The transaction remains subject to the execution of a definitive agreement, board approvals from both companies, and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Subject to the fulfillment of such conditions, the parties are aiming towards closing the transaction by May 7. The binding term sheet provides for a 60-day non-solicitation and no-shop period, and includes the payment of a break-up fee under specified circumstances.
