Insights
Graphex grants a paid option for a possible US$100M graphite unit sale.
Graphex Group Limited has agreed that its subsidiary will grant M2i Global, Inc. an option over 100% of the units of Graphex Technologies LLC. The purchaser pays option consideration of US$500,000, giving it discretion during the option term to trigger a potential acquisition at a stated sale consideration of US$100,000,000, paid in cash and M2i shares, once conditions precedent are fulfilled.
The contemplated definitive agreement would impose a non‑compete on Graphex for specified graphite products across North America, Australia, New Zealand, Europe (including Ukraine), Japan, Korea and Africa, and require technical support for up to five years after closing. Graphex also commits not to solicit or enter into other sale agreements for these units while the option agreement remains in effect, which effectively ties this asset to a single potential buyer for the option term.
The announcement characterizes this as a possible "very substantial disposal" of an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, but completion is uncertain because the purchaser is not obligated to exercise the option and the deal remains subject to conditions precedent and definitive documentation. Subsequent disclosures, including any exercise of the option or execution of a definitive agreement, would clarify the ultimate impact on Graphex’s structure and graphite business footprint.
