QuickCool AB (Publ): The negotiations with the prospective party regarding a "reverse merger" have been suspended.
The board is currently evaluating similar solutions within the same industries, complementing QuickCool’s long-term financing strategy. After several weeks of negotiations regarding a potential "reverse merger" with a third party, that was announced on 29 August, the negotiations have been suspended due to disagreements on valuation.
According to the press release that was published on 29 August, a financing proposal had been presented to the board of directors comprising a potential “reverse merger” with a third party company with different activities in the nutritional supplements, biotech and pharma industries, of different nature from QuickCool’s business, through an acquisition of such company by QuickCool with the payment of the purchase price being made through the issuance of new QuickCool shares.
These negotiations have been suspended because of different opinions about the valuations. QuickCool’s board of directors is in active discussions regarding alternative long-term financing solutions.
Parallel discussions have been ongoing with a similar company within the same industries with a similar set-up i.e. a potential “reverse merger”. Similarly, through this transaction a group would be established that could contribute to the long-term financing of QuickCool’s development project. The board of directors will present the financial solution as soon as it has been finalized, and call for an extraordinary general meeting. The intention is to finalize the negotiations during October.
