Shares of Sigma Additive Solutions rose 32% Thursday after it reported letters of intent to buy travel technology company NextTrip Holdings and sell intellectual property assets related to its quality assurance software for 3-D printing to an unnamed strategic buyer.
The stock recently traded at 29 cents and is down 28% for the year to date.
Sigma said it will buy 100% of NextTrip in exchange for shares constituting 19.99% of its outstanding common stock plus additional shares upon the achievement of post-closing milestone earnouts. It said the total transaction will have a starting valuation of about $48 million if all milestones are earned.
The transactions are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter, subject to conditions including negotiation and execution of a definitive NextTrip acquisition agreement. Sigma is expected to change its name to NextTrip.
