American Resources Corporation's American Metals LLC Converts to C Corp and Changes Name To Electrified Materials Corporation
De-SPAC merger with AI Transportation Acquisition Corp has been terminated with Electrified Materials Corporation and is now preparing to go public via a Form 10 filing
AI Transportation and its representatives have demonstrated a disregard for U.S. corporate and contractual laws and an unwillingness to fulfill their obligations under the executed business combination agreement
De-SPAC merger with AI Transportation Acquisition Corp has been terminated with Electrified Materials Corporation and is now preparing to go public via a Form 10 filing
AI Transportation and its representatives have demonstrated a disregard for U.S. corporate and contractual laws and an unwillingness to fulfill their obligations under the executed business combination agreement
American Resources Corporation's (NASDAQ:AREC) ("American Resources") wholly-owned subsidiary, Electrified Materials Corporation (Formerly American Metals LLC) ("EMC") announced today that it is no longer merging with AI Transportation Acquisition Corp, and will seek a direct listing of its securities in a spinoff from American Resources through a Form 10 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Mark Jensen, Chairman and CEO of American Resources Corporation said, "We continue to take decisive actions to protect our shareholders while prioritizing value creation and risk mitigation. During our efforts to pursue a productive de-SPAC merger with AI Transportation, we observed actions by their Chinese executives and advisors that raised significant concerns about the viability of the proposed merger. Additionally, given American Metals' affiliation with and commercial relationship with ReElement Technologies - an entity capable of competing with and potentially surpassing China as the dominant refiner of critical minerals - we now believe pursuing a Form 10 spinoff is the optimal path forward. This approach ensures domestic ownership and compliance with U.S. corporate laws, aligning with the best interests of our shareholders. Furthermore, the proactive steps we have taken in preparing for the proposed merger with AITR have positioned us on an efficient trajectory toward a potential direct public listing on a national exchange. We have finalized the Form 10 and are prepared to file it with the SEC promptly.
Electrified Materials Corporation (Formerly American Metals LLC) and its parent company American Resources Corporation intend to seek damages against AI Transportation Acquisition Corp., along with its executives and its advisors.
