Energi also agreed that it will be supportive of VivoPower’s plans to complete the Tembo SPAC transaction and the Caret Digital spin-off. This announcement represents a clarification update on the prior unsolicited, non-binding all-cash offer made by Energi to acquire all non-affiliated free float shares of VivoPower. Energi is an Abu Dhabi-headquartered energy solutions company established in 2014. Energi has US$1 billion of revenues and offices in the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, Europe, and Southeast Asia (www.energi.ae) The proposed transaction is subject to, among other things, satisfactory completion of due diligence and the negotiation and execution of a definitive transaction document. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the proposed transaction will be consummated on the terms currently contemplated, or at all. Tembo SPAC VivoPower continues to work closely with CCTSF (“Cactus Acquisition Corp. 1 Limited”), a Cayman Islands-exempted special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), to progress towards a closing of the previously announced business combination with Tembo by Q2, calendar 2025. Caret Digital IPO VivoPower plans to spin out Caret Digital through a direct listing IPO on either the Nasdaq or NYSE American market. It is proposed that VivoPower shareholders at a record date to be advised will be entitled to receive five (5) shares of Caret Digital for each VivoPower share held. The implied market capitalisation for Caret Digital is $250 million (subject to change based on market conditions and other factors). Caret Digital’s strategy will initially focus on cryptocurrency mining, with an emphasis on mining Dogecoin (DOGE). Leveraging DOGE mining economics, the company will convert mined DOGE into Bitcoin (BTC), securing BTC at an effective discount to its current market price.
