Ei.Ventures, Inc. (“Ei” or the “Company”) has entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated March 25, 2024 (the “Letter of Intent”) with Orthogonal Global Group Inc. (formerly known as Web3 Ventures Inc.) (“OGG”), a global accelerator and public investment platform currently listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE: OGG), Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE: KZ2) and OTC Pink (OTC Pink: OGGIF), focused on furthering initiatives in the wellness, healthcare, AI, blockchain tokenization, deep-tech and gaming spaces, and Orthogonal Thinker, Inc., an accelerator focused on health, wellness, technology, deep-tech and tokenization (“Thinker”), to seize on the convergence of these cutting-edge industries and technologies, and to give access to these otherwise private opportunities on a senior exchange in the North American public capital markets.
David Nikzad, CEO of Ei states “We believe this is the right opportunity to provide liquidity to our shareholders through a merger or combination with OGG and Thinker, and a path forward to determine which public exchange is best for a combined company, especially after the difficult headwinds the last couple of years experienced by companies engaged in psychedelics, the metaverse and blockchain projects and other cutting-edge healing modalities looking to access the public markets.” Without regulatory relief on a federal level for cutting-edge industries like psychedelics and blockchain/crypto initiatives such as the metaverse, the U.S. public capital markets have been difficult to navigate and access for emerging companies. But with the wider adoption of AI, AR/VR, and crypto-based initiatives and products (e.g., BTC ETFs), the convergence of these industries presents an opportunity to expand Ei’s “play to heal” presence in the metaverse (blockchain/NFTs), to further work on technology platforms to give access to healings, the Company’s products and offerings for integration of psychedelic experiences for most of the world’s population which doesn’t have regular access to medical clinics or trained providers engaged in these healings. Given the combined holdings and focus of both OGG and Thinker, as well as shared values and common ownership and control among the companies, Ei entered into the Letter of Intent to lay-out a framework to move forward towards accessing the public capital markets.
The Letter of Intent anticipates the companies will enter into a definitive agreement with terms and conditions of a merger or business combination on or before September 30, 2024, including, but not limited to approved third-party valuations of Ei and Thinker, any regulatory approvals for the merger or business combination required of OGG, approval by the respective board of directors and to the extent required, by the respective shareholders, and an agreed upon path forward to list on a senior exchange in North America or to remain on the CSE and FSE as a combined company, subject to CSE and FSE regulatory approval, among other conditions.
Until a Definitive Agreement is reached, OGG has not circulated a press release or made any filing with the CSE or FSE regarding the Letter of Intent.
