NU E Power Corp. Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Land in the Regina Area
Rhea-AI Summary
NU E Power Corp. (CSE: NUE, OTC: NUEPF) has signed a largely non-binding letter of intent with Xbase Farm Partnership, via President Life Holdings, to acquire approximately 29.44 acres of land in the Regina area of Saskatchewan for $2.7 million, subject to adjustments and taxes.
According to NU E Power, the vendor granted due diligence access and exclusivity until the earlier of October 31, 2026 or a definitive agreement. The price structure includes a $500,000 refundable deposit, $600,000 at closing, and about $1.6 million via a vendor take-back loan due six months post-closing, plus a separate $100,000 working capital deposit for zoning and servicing costs. Closing is expected no earlier than October 15, 2026 and remains subject to multiple conditions, including financing, regulatory exemption, subdivision, and approvals. The property is not yet zoned or serviced for industrial use, and NU E Power cautions there is no assurance the acquisition will be completed.
