American Resources' Subsidiary to Merge With CGrowth Capital
Read MoreHide Full Article
American Resources Corporation's (AREC - Free Report) subsidiary, American Infrastructure Corporation ("AIC"), has signed an agreement to merge with CGrowth Capital, Inc. (“CGRA”). The terms of the contract specify that American Infrastructure Corporation will become a fully owned subsidiary of CGrowth Capital, which will change its name to American Infrastructure Holding Corporation. The American Infrastructure team will assume the management of CGRA, and the existing operations and assets of CGRA will be spun out of that entity under this transaction, leaving the operations of American Infrastructure Corporation as the primary operation.
The structure of the transaction is in the form of a tax-free exchange of American Infrastructure Corporation’s shares for shares of CGrowth Capital. American Infrastructure’s common shareholders will receive Series A preferred stock as consideration, which can be converted into common shares of the combined entity, American Infrastructure Holding Corporation, at the holder’s discretion. The Series A preferred stock will automatically convert into common stock twelve months post merger.
The merger marks a significant milestone for American Infrastructure, providing a pathway to support growth initiatives through organic and strategic acquisitions. American Infrastructure Corporation, being one of the last remaining metallurgical carbon growth platforms, has an asset base that is strong and believed to be among the lowest cost in the industry. The company will emphasize its royalty and leasehold production model strategy.
AREC stock has plunged 51.3% in the past year compared with the 19.5% decline in the industry.
