Blackbox is actively pursuing other strategic merger options to enhance stockholder value
DALLAS, Jan. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blackboxstocks Inc. (NASDAQ: BLBX), (“Blackbox” or the “Company”), a financial technology and social media hybrid platform offering real-time proprietary analytics for stock and options traders, announced today that on January 13, 2025 the Company and Evtec Aluminium Limited (“Evtec”) mutually agreed to terminate the Share Exchange Agreement executed on December 12, 2023 and amended on July 1, 2024 which would have resulted in Evtec becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company will also withdraw its registration statement on form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the proposed share exchange.
Gust Kepler, Chief Executive Officer of Blackbox, commented, “We were fully committed to completing the merger with Evtec, and we continue to hold the company and its management in the highest regard. Unfortunately, the protracted time frame to complete the share exchange presented a number of hurdles outside of our control. We could not afford to incur any additional costs due to unforeseen delays. We wish Mr. Roberts and his team at Evtec all the best and believe the company has a bright future ahead of them.”
David Roberts, Chief Executive Officer of Evtec, commented, “We too are disappointed about not being able to complete the transaction with Blackbox. Despite substantial effort by both companies to get this done, we believe it to be in the best interests of both our companies to terminate the deal and we wish Blackboxstocks and their team the very best of luck in the future.”
