Empery Digital Divests Volcon Four-Wheel Brand To Venom EV For 10% Equity Stake
Empery Digital Inc. EMPD | 4.23 | 0.00% |
Empery Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:EMPD) (the "Company" or "Empery Digital") today announced it has entered into an agreement with Venom EV, LLC ("Venom"), to divest the Volcon brand in exchange for a non-dilutable 10% equity position in Venom's reorganized Delaware corporation on a fully-diluted basis.
Empery Digital transferred all Volcon intellectual property, brand assets, trademarks, sales and distribution networks and engineering documentation associated with the Volcon brand other than its EBike, the Brat. The Company will have the right to appoint one director to Venom's board and will continue to finance Venom's inventory.
The agreement will reduce Empery Digital's future product liability exposure by transferring ownership of Volcon's four-wheel vehicle business to Venom. Following this divestiture, Empery Digital - through its Empery Mobility segment - will concentrate on its two-wheel business, including the launch of new products in European markets and homologation of the Brat in Japan.
