Insights

Envirotech's non-binding LOI to acquire Kymera signals strategic expansion into electric marine mobility, though success remains uncertain.

Envirotech Vehicles (NASDAQ:EVTV) has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire Kymera, a manufacturer of marine craft known for its appearances on ABC's Shark Tank. This move represents a strategic expansion into the electric marine mobility space, aligning with Envirotech's vision to deliver zero-emission transportation across multiple domains.

The transaction would establish Envirotech's new marine division focusing on two verticals: recreational watercraft and military & tactical applications. The planned acquisition would bring on Kymera's founding team, including Adam Majewski and Jason Woods, who bring over a decade of experience in designing electric propulsion systems for marine environments.

While the company expects to close the acquisition in Q2 2025, several critical hurdles remain before completion. The LOI is non-binding, subject to due diligence, negotiation of a definitive agreement, and board approvals from both parties. The preliminary nature of this announcement means there's significant uncertainty about whether the deal will materialize.

This potential acquisition represents Envirotech's strategic diversification beyond its current transportation focus, potentially opening new revenue streams in the growing electric marine market. However, investors should note the explicit disclaimer that there is "no assurance" the transaction will be successfully completed, highlighting the preliminary stage of these discussions.

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / May 15, 2025 / Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (NASDAQ:EVTV) ("Envirotech" or the "Company") today announced the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire the assets of Kymera, a manufacturer of marine craft. The Company intends for the business to serve as the foundation of Envirotech's new marine division. As planned, Envirotech intends to enter the electric marine mobility space with the acquisition, reinforcing its long-term vision to deliver next-generation, zero-emission transportation across land, air, and sea.

Should the LOI lead to a binding agreement between the parties, Envirotech intends for the Kymera marine division to focus on two high-impact verticals: recreational watercraft and military & tactical applications.

Jason Maddox, President and Interim CFO of Envirotech Vehicles, expressed his optimism about the intended acquisition: "Envirotech expects to close on the acquisition of Kymera's assets in the second quarter of 2025. The acquisition, along with the key personnel of Kymera, would form Envirotech's planned marine division. We believe Kymera will be a high impact addition to Envirotech's growing technology base."

Envirotech intends for Kymera to be led by Adam Majewski and Jason Woods, co-founders of the company that invented the award-winning Kymera Body Board - a revolutionary product that has appeared twice on ABC's Shark Tank and continues to redefine water-based adventure and safety solutions. Together, Majewski and Woods bring more than a decade of experience in designing high-performance electric propulsion systems for recreational and tactical marine environments. Rounding out the team is Grahame Ewins, who will spearhead the buildout of Kymera's domestic and international retail and distribution networks should the final transaction consummate.

"We welcome the opportunity to join the Envirotech team," said Majewski, who would serve as President of the new division. "We believe the Kymera division will thrive with the resources and guidance of Envirotech."

Woods, who would serve as the Chief Technology Officer of the new division, added: "By joining with Envirotech we believe we will have the ability to scale the Kymera division in the recreational watercraft and military & tactical markets. This is the moment we have worked toward for more than a decade."

The signing of a definitive agreement is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, the Company's due diligence review of Kymera, the negotiation of a definitive acquisition agreement and approval by the parties Boards of Directors. There is no assurance that a definitive acquisition agreement will be executed by the parties or, even if executed, that the transaction will be successfully completed.
