Today, Astra Energy, Inc., an electric services company, disclosed in a recent SEC filing that it has entered into a material definitive agreement with Powertron Global LLC. The agreement, dated March 8, 2024, involves the creation of a new entity (Newco) to hold all patents currently owned by Astra's majority-owned subsidiary Regreen Technologies Inc.
As part of the joint venture, the patents related to waste-to-energy processing will be assigned from Regreen to Newco. In return, Powertron has made a non-refundable payment of $1 million to Astra Energy. However, Powertron has yet to fulfill several commitments, including the establishment of Newco, providing a plan for its public listing, and making a due payment of $4 million, which was scheduled for September 10, 2024.
Astra Energy has granted Powertron a 45-day extension to complete the closing of the transaction, acknowledging the complexity of Powertron's ongoing deals. Powertron's public listing may now potentially include not only Newco but also Powertron's operational entity, which could lead to a larger offering and significant capital event. Astra Energy's management believes that supporting Powertron's transaction will ultimately deliver the greatest benefit to its shareholders.
This information is based on a press release statement filed with the SEC and reflects the latest developments in Astra Energy's business strategy and partnerships. The new venture is expected to advance the company's position in the waste-to-energy sector by leveraging its patented technologies. The outcome of this extended deadline and the successful establishment and public listing of Newco remain to be seen.
