ATMOFIZER & POWER LEAVES ANNOUNCE SIGNING OF DEFINITIVE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT; TARGET CLOSING IN Q2 2026
Atmofizer Technologies Inc. and Power Leaves Corp. have entered into a definitive business combination agreement dated April 15, 2026, in respect of the previously announced proposed reverse takeover transaction.
Pursuant to the definitive agreement, Atmofizer will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of PLC through an amalgamation of PLC and a wholly owned subsidiary of PLC (Subco) under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), with the amalgamated entity (Amalco) becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Atmofizer. At closing, Atmofizer will become the resulting issuer and is expected to carry on the business of PLC under the name Power Leaves Holdings Corp. or such other similar name as may be accepted by the applicable regulatory authorities and approved by the board of directors of Atmofizer.
In connection with the proposed transaction, the resulting issuer intends to seek listing of its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange, subject to satisfaction of applicable listing requirements and receipt of all required approvals. The parties expect a closing on or before June 30, 2026, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
Transaction rationale
The parties believe the proposed transaction provides an efficient path to the public markets for PLC while preserving the benefits of Atmofizer's existing reporting issuer platform. Through this structure, PLC is expected to become the operating business of the resulting issuer, with public company capital market access intended to support production scale-up, quality system implementation, certification initiatives and broader commercial execution.
PLC has also continued to advance its commercial pipeline. PLC has recently entered into a letter of intent with a Tier 1 internationally recognized flavour house and executed a commercial agreement with a United States-based brand house, both representing meaningful validation of its technology and growing market demand. In addition, PLC has completed several new commercial orders across the United States and Europe in recent weeks, and has received strong inbound interest for samples and initial commercial volumes over the past six months.
PLC has further indicated that it is in the final stages of engagement with multiple Tier 1 international flavour houses and consumer packaged goods companies. Advancement of these opportunities is expected to be primarily dependent on PLC's ability to expand production capacity and complete required certifications and quality audits.
Summary of the proposed transaction
The definitive agreement provides that, immediately prior to closing, all PLC subscription receipts issued in the concurrent financing (defined below) will automatically convert into PLC common shares and PLC warrants on the basis of one PLC common share and one PLC unit warrant for each subscription receipt. On closing, PLC and Subco will amalgamate, and each holder of PLC common shares will receive one Atmofizer share for each PLC common share held, based on an exchange ratio of 1 to 1.
The definitive agreement further provides that all outstanding PLC warrants will be exchanged for replacement warrants of the resulting issuer on equivalent economic terms, and all outstanding PLC options will be exchanged for replacement options of the resulting issuer, also on equivalent terms, subject to customary adjustments.
Immediately prior to completion of the proposed transaction, Atmofizer will complete a share consolidation or split, as applicable, based on a ratio to be determined immediately prior to the effective time, such that the Atmofizer shareholders will hold an aggregate number of resulting issuer shares having an implied value of $1.5-million. Atmofizer will also complete the name change.
Concurrent financing
As previously announced, PLC is conducting a non-brokered concurrent financing of subscription receipts for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $4.0-million (U.S.), subject to upsize at the discretion of PLC. Under the terms of the financing, subscription receipts are being issued at 25 U.S. cents per subscription receipt. Immediately prior to the effective time of the proposed transaction, each subscription receipt will automatically convert into one PLC common share and one PLC warrant, with each warrant exercisable into one common share at 30 U.S. cents for a period of 24 months from closing. The net proceeds of the concurrent financing will be used to scale up production capacity, to implement internal quality systems and certifications, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
PLC has advised that it already has a total of over $3-million (U.S.) committed toward the concurrent financing, reflecting continued support from existing and new investors.
Conditions to closing
Completion of the proposed transaction remains subject to a number of customary conditions, including, among other things:
- Receipt of all required shareholder, board, regulatory and exchange approvals;
- Conditional approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange for the proposed transaction and the listing of the resulting issuer shares;
- Completion of the Atmofizer name change and share consolidation/split;
- Completion of the concurrent financing in an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable exchange listing requirements;
- Atmofizer having no indebtedness at closing and maintaining the required minimum working capital balance after payment of transaction-related expenses; and
- The execution of applicable lock-up and escrow arrangements.
There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.
Resulting issuer board of directors
Following closing, the board of directors of the resulting issuer is expected to be reconstituted to consist of five directors, all of whom will be designated by PLC, and all officers of Atmofizer will resign and be replaced by persons designated by PLC.
Escrow conditions
In addition to the escrow requirements of the CSE and applicable securities laws, upon closing, the following shares of the resulting issuer shall also be subject to the following lock-up conditions:
- PLC founders, principals and other shareholders who acquired their PLC shares at a price per share at or below 10-U.S.-cent thresholds shall agree to a 12-month lock-up on all such shares subject to limited customary exceptions and an early release trigger tied to the resulting issuer achieving a volume-weighted average trading price of at least 45 U.S. cents for five consecutive trading days.
- Certain directors, officers and principal shareholders of Atmofizer holding 10 per cent or more of the Atmofizer shares will be subject to a six-month lock-up, with releases in three equal tranches on listing, three months after listing and six months after listing, subject to certain exceptions. The lock-up may also terminate earlier if the volume-weighted average trading price of the resulting issuer shares equals or exceeds 45 U.S. cents for five consecutive trading days.
Director resignation
Atmofizer also announces that Peter Simeon has resigned from the board of directors of Atmofizer, effective April 12, 2026. The board of directors thanks Mr. Simeon for his valuable contributions and dedicated service during his tenure. Mr. Simeon will continue to act as trusted legal counsel to Atmofizer.
