Graph Blockchain (GBLC) has announced plans to spin off three of its businesses into two independent publicly traded entities.
The share dividend transaction is expected to be completed in the next six months subject to regulatory approval.
Paul Haber, Chief Executive Officer spoke about the company’s change in strategy.
“The company considers DeFi to be such a diverse sector that we believe our shareholders are best served by owning three pure play companies. We believe that the best possible path to unlock equity value is to create three independent companies that are each well-equipped to capitalize on growth trends in their sectors,” said
Graph Blockchain is spinning out the companies so that it can focus exclusively on Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) with New World Inc.
The spinoff will establish separate companies that include:
- Optimum Coin Analyser Inc. (Optimum) will be spun out as a stand-alone company focused on software for crypto traders. Optimum is a cloud-based discovery search engine subscription model that will create a recurring revenue stream on its platform.
- Babbage Mining Corp. (Babbage) and Beyond the Moon Inc. (BTM) will be combined and spun out as standalone altcoin and IDO-focused companies.
“We are committed to taking action to unlock what we see as unrecognized value in Optimum, Babbage and Beyond the Moon shares, and we believe that separating the businesses into three highly focused, stand-alone companies is the way to accomplish that goal,” said Paul Haber, CEO of Graph Blockchain.
“Less than a year ago, we initiated a multi-point plan, first to stabilize and then to transform Graph Blockchain into a De-Fi company positioned to deliver long-term organic growth. We have acquired assets and raised approximately $10 million of equity, resolved legacy issues, and managed several acquisitions, while also investing in new product launches and building on what we believe is the core asset with NFTs with attractive growth opportunities.
Our Board of Directors and management team have been working on options to determine how to best unlock value across Graph, and we believe that it is the right time to begin the partition process, so each business has greater elasticity to pursue bigger opportunities in their respective markets,” said Andrew Ryu, chairman of the company.
It is proposed that the transaction will be carried out by way of a stock dividend. Through the spin-out, Graph shareholders will receive shares in the new companies based on the number of shares in Graph that they own as of the dividend date.
Graph intends to seek a listing of the SpinCo shares for the two spin-outs on the Canadian Securities Exchange, but no assurance can be offered that such a listing will be completed. Any such listing will be subject to SpinCo meeting and satisfying all of the requirements of the CSE.
Further details of the spin-out will be announced in future press releases including management appointments, valuation of spin-outs, and any possible concurrent financings. The specifics of the spin-out are not yet final and there is no certainty that the spin-out will be completed on the terms currently proposed or at all.
