LOS ANGELES, June 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EVmo, Inc. (OTC: YAYO), a leading provider of vehicles to the rideshare and delivery gig economy industry, today announced it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) regarding a merger with micromobility.com Inc. (NASDAQ: MCOM), a pioneering global micromobility ecosystem. The merger is intended to strengthen each company’s market position and accelerate growth.
Stephen Sanchez, CEO of EVmo, commented, “The combined company will be in a strong position in the rapidly growing rideshare and mobility industry. As discussed on our year-end and 1Q23 conference calls, the notification of default from our lender, EICF Agent LLC, has resulted in a number of challenges for EVmo, most notably a severe constraint on our operating liquidity such that it is now threatening the viability of the business. After exploring and evaluating multiple options to address the notification from our lender, the leadership team and our Board of Directors view this merger as a strong path forward.”
The LOI outlines the general terms and conditions for a proposed merger, whereby EVMO would merge with a newly-formed subsidiary of micromobility.com and receive micromobility.com stock in a stock-for-stock exchange. It is expected that the current EVmo shareholders will receive a meaningful minority interest in the combined company. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith toward the execution of definitive transaction agreements, including a merger agreement setting forth the exchange ratio and the other terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the LOI, and a proxy statement/registration statement on Form S-4 registering with the SEC the shares to be issued as well as the solicitation of proxies for EVmo’s shareholders to approve the merger. The definitive agreements are expected to be entered into within 30 days after signing this LOI, with the merger occurring promptly following satisfaction of the conditions thereto (anticipated to be no later than 60 days after filing the Form S-4 with the SEC).
The proposed merger is subject to several conditions, including the negotiation and execution of the definitive agreements, approval of the board of directors of each party and the shareholders of EVmo, each party’s completion and satisfaction with the result of its due diligence investigations, approvals and agreements regarding indebtedness and other matters, absence of any material adverse change affecting either party, and receipt of SEC clearance regarding the Form S-4. The parties have agreed to certain limitations for a period of 30-60 days on negotiating with other parties concerning any transaction that would result in the issuance of more than 49% of the voting equity of such party.
