It has met with its investment banking advisors and it is expected a plan and any revisions will be forthcoming. It is Turner’s intention to open up the offering to be able to support future capital placements in order to meet the ongoing capital needs for the acquisitions and investment of operating profitable businesses. The initial placement is estimated to be $2,000,000.00 with scalability to $25,000,000.00 as originally modeled.
NAME CHANGE
As previously indicated, the Company will focus on all segments of the bitumen and asphalt industry, including real assets, energy, infrastructure, and the supply chain. While it is likely the Company will change its name in the future to better reflect the expanded business plan, Turner has agreed to amend its previous name change plans and maintain its current name and ticker until further notice. As a result, Turner will complete the set up of PrimeStar Bitumen, Inc. as a subsidiary only to prepare for negotiations with previously indicated partners.
MANAGEMENT
Upon completion of the transfer of committed assets and capital, Turner expects to expand its Board of Directors by appointing several new members in addition to current board members and Turner CEO, Steve Helm. Furthermore, new management with significant asphalt and/or bitumen experience are expected to join the Board Of Directors. Included in this transition will be a new CEO, COO, administration, and investor relations appointments.
CEO Steve Helm stated, “While it has taken longer than we expected and there have been bumps along the road, we are proud to announce this initial acquisition. I am excited to work with our new asset and its management team and start to build the company here at Turner that we have envisioned since this infrastructure journey began well over a year ago”.
MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS
In prior announcements, the Company cleared a path for a series of acquisitions within the services and supply chain markets by utilizing a build & bolt-on model within the real assets, energy, infrastructure, bitumen, and asphalt segments. Turner management, while maintaining an open dialog to bitumen vessel transactions as originally proposed, has initiated advanced due diligence on up to 10 or more target acquisitions with potential gross revenue of $90,000,000.00 and EBITDA pre-consolidation of over $11,000,000.00. The steps already underway include vetting out each opportunity, working to integrate them into existing operations, and engage in final negotiations in order to complete these additional acquisitions. Management will provide more details issued in forthcoming press releases.
CLOSING CONDITIONS
Following this initial closing announcement, subsequent events will include Turner filing a Form 10 or S1 registration, which includes 10 K and 8 K filings with the SEC. This will meet all registered and fully reporting standards and a result, Turner will meet the qualifications needed for it to be an OTCQB, fully filing company. These are important steps that in addition to Tuner’s recent Nasdaq system registration, will aid in Turner’s plan to uplist to a higher exchange. In addition, closing conditions include transfer of assets, release of escrowed funds, appointment of a new Board of directors and management, and an updated corporate website.
