LOS ANGELES, CA, Mar 04, 2014 (eTeligis.com via COMTEX) Alternative Energy Partners, Inc. (OTCBB:AEGY) (OTCQB:AEGY), doing business as PharmaJanes, and SK3 Group (OTC Pink: SKTO), doing business as Medical Greens, announce that their respective Boards of Directors have agreed in principle to merge the two companies for better market efficiencies and to create a single medical marijuana market support company which can qualify for a higher (AMEX, NASDAQ) market listing.
"This merger will allow us to recognize scale economies and to coordinate our operations much better," said SKTO President Artemus Mayor.
According to AEGY President Mario Barrera: "This merger should also clear up other issues including the pending dividend, name change, and CUSIP change."
Final terms of the merger are still being worked out and a merger agreement is expected to be signed within the next 30 days, but the basic terms of the agreed merger call for SKTO and AEGY to merge into a newly formed holding company which will integrate the separate operations of both companies.
Shareholders of each constituent party to the merger will receive shares of the new holding company, which will succeed to the SEC reporting obligation of AEGY and which will apply for a new trading symbol, a new CUSIP number, and continued electronic trading status with the Depository Trust Company.
The final exchange rate for the common shares of AEGY and SKTO will be based on the volume weighted average market value of each company on the record date, which has not yet been determined.
The previously announced dividend of the 30 million shares of AEGY held by SKTO will be accounted for in the merger by treating those shares as held proportionately by the SKTO shareholders as of the record date.
Closing of the proposed merger will require the new holding company to register the shares to be issued in the merger to the shareholders of both AEGY and SKTO, and SKTO has retained an independent accounting firm to conduct an audit of its books as the first required step in the registration process.
The audit is expected to take approximately thirty days from start to finish, after which the registration statement will be filed for review by the SEC.
The merger agreement also is expected to be completed and signed in the next thirty days at which time more details of the terms and the timing of the merger can be disclosed.As a result of the merger, the Boards of Directors of the two companies will be restructured and combined into a new Board of Directors in the surviving holding company.
"I am thrilled we are consolidating operations for both of these companies under one roof, and I am looking forward to working closely with the SKTO team," said AEGY Chief Technology Officer Frank Gomez.
According to SKTO's Dave Hoye: "This could not be a better arrangement for what we have been doing at Berkeley Bio.This will allow us to more effectively deliver our cutting edge products to our patient customers."
