Share price surge follows merger framework announcement
EVTV announced an Amended and Restated Letter of Intent for the planned acquisition of AZIO AI Corporation. The company reported a framework for a statutory merger, and it described plans for AZIO AI to become a wholly owned subsidiary. Trading responded to the potential transformation, and price strength reflected attention on the proposed change in business direction.
The LOI remained preliminary, and both sides must still complete diligence and approvals and definitive documentation. Boards and shareholders must also vote, and regulators must review the proposed structure. EVTV stated that the framework includes exclusivity terms, and the company paused talks with alternative counterparties.
The companies discussed equity consideration, and they outlined non-binding exchange mechanics for AZIO AI securities and related instruments. They also discussed conversion of options and warrants, and the final structure will depend on later agreement terms. EVTV indicated that an independent third-party valuation will support final pricing decisions.
Strategic repositioning toward AI infrastructure and leadership changes
EVTV described a proposed enterprise value of $480 million for AZIO AI in the preliminary framework. The board approved use of a $3.00 per-share reference value for its common stock and the parties used this figure for discussions. Price comparisons highlighted the gap between the current market level and the reference value, and trading remained active during the session.
The contemplated merger structure uses a new subsidiary that would combine with AZIO AI, and AZIO AI would then survive. It would operate as a wholly owned unit and EVTV would realign its platform focus toward advanced computing. The plan also includes integration of technology capabilities, and it points to expansion opportunities in data-center and infrastructure markets.
Leadership changes formed part of the framework, and the parties signaled a shift in management responsibilities. The plan anticipates the appointment of AZIO AI’s current leader as chief executive of EVTV after closing. The company aims to strengthen experience in technology operations and governance, and it highlighted execution priorities and long-term value creation goals.
