Shareholders of Renergen Limited Approve Proposed Acquisition by ASP Isotopes Inc.

July 11, 2025 08:00 ET | Source: ASP Isotopes Inc. WASHINGTON, July 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ASP Isotopes Inc. NASDAQ: ASPI ("ASP Isotopes” or the “Company”), an advanced materials company dedicated to the development of technology and processes for the production of isotopes for use in multiple industries, today announced that at a general meeting of shareholders of Renergen Limited (“Renergen”) held on July 10, 2025, Renergen shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favor of the acquisition of Renergen by ASP Isotopes through a scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) in accordance with Sections 114 and 115 of the South African Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008. The Scheme received support from 99.80% of voting shareholders. The implementation of the Scheme remains subject to and will only become operative upon the fulfilment or, if applicable, waiver of a number of conditions, including various regulatory approvals and third party consents, by no later than September 30, 2025, unless extended. If all remaining conditions are fulfilled or, if applicable, waived, the Scheme is expected to become effective in the third quarter of 2025. Renergen is a public company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of South Africa, focused on production of liquefied helium (LHe) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) and is funded by the United States government given helium’s strategic significance. The combination of Renergen and ASP Isotopes aims to create a global leader in the production of critical and strategically important materials, including electronic gases such as helium, various fluorinated products and isotopically enriched gases. The combination is expected to create a vertically and horizontally integrated supply chain with significant geographic and customer overlap with substantial synergies expected from 2026. The transaction is expected to be highly accretive to ASP Isotopes’s revenue, EBITDA, earnings per share and cash flow per share, starting from 2026. The goal of the combined group is to generate over $300 million in EBITDA in 2030, which is expected to be driven by a mix of isotopes, helium and LNG sales into the South African energy market, based on management’s current estimates, expectations and assumptions regarding the execution on ASP Isotopes’s and Renergen’s businesses strategies. “The positive impact on supply chain stability, particularly for the semiconductor and electronics industry this group will have will be profound and will position the group well for the global AI revolution,” said Renergen CEO Stefano Marani. Commenting on the proposed Combination, Paul Mann, Chairman and CEO of ASP Isotopes, said: “This is an exciting step for ASP Isotopes. Both isotopes and helium are viewed by almost every western government as critically and strategically important materials. The combination of these two companies will create a company with huge strategic value and a vital part of a fragile supply chain enabling so many industries.” About ASP Isotopes Inc. ASP Isotopes Inc. is a development stage advanced materials company dedicated to the development of technology and processes to produce isotopes for use in multiple industries. The Company employs proprietary technology, the Aerodynamic Separation Process (“ASP technology”). The Company’s initial focus is on producing and commercializing highly enriched isotopes for the healthcare and technology industries. The Company also plans to enrich isotopes for the nuclear energy sector using Quantum Enrichment technology that the Company is developing. The Company has isotope enrichment facilities in Pretoria, South Africa, dedicated to the enrichment of isotopes of elements with a low atomic mass (light isotopes). There is a growing demand for isotopes such as Silicon-28, which will enable quantum computing, and Molybdenum-100, Molybdenum-98, Zinc-68, Ytterbium-176, and Nickel-64 for new, emerging healthcare applications, as well as Chlorine-37, Lithium-6, and Uranium-235 for green energy applications. We believe the ASP technology (Aerodynamic Separation Process) is ideal for enriching low and heavy atomic mass molecules. For more information, please visit www.aspisotopes.com.
