Rhea-AI Filing Summary

IM Cannabis Corp. (IMCC) entered a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire 51% of Space Defense Innovations LLC’s issued and outstanding equity securities on a fully diluted basis. Consideration would combine IMCC common shares and/or pre-funded warrants; share issuance is capped so no SDI shareholder beneficially owns more than 19.99% of IMCC. Terms include a 24-month seller loan at 9% annual interest, with warrants covering 100% of principal and exercisable at a 25% premium to the closing price when definitive agreements are signed.

IMCC would receive a five-year call option on the remaining SDI shares at the same valuation and the right to appoint a majority of SDI’s board. At closing, it would provide SDI an on-demand line of credit of up to EUR 2.3 million, with 36-month maturity, convertible at IMCC’s discretion into SDI shares at the fair-market valuation established at closing, subject to a US$5 million minimum company valuation supported by an independent report. The parties aim to sign definitive agreements within 60 days. Closing remains subject to satisfactory due diligence at IMCC’s sole discretion, definitive agreements, required corporate, governmental and third-party approvals, assignment of certain key commercial agreements and other customary conditions. The LOI is non-binding except for customary confidentiality, exclusivity and governing-law provisions; completion is not assured.

Letter of Intent financial
"entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent"
A letter of intent is a document that shows an agreement in principle between parties to work towards a future deal or transaction. It outlines their intentions and key terms, acting like a roadmap before a formal contract is signed. For investors, it signals serious interest and helps clarify expectations early in the process.
fully diluted basis financial
"equity securities on a fully diluted basis"
A fully diluted basis counts every share that could exist if all outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities and other rights were exercised or converted into common stock, showing the maximum number of shares outstanding. For investors this matters because it spreads ownership and earnings across that larger share count, like slicing a pie into every possible piece before deciding how big each investor’s slice will be, which affects per-share value and ownership percentage.
pre-funded warrants financial
"IMCC common shares and/or pre-funded warrants"
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
on-demand line of credit financial

IM Cannabis Enters Non-Binding Agreement to Acquire 51% of Space

Defense Innovations, Operating in the European Tactical UAS Market

 

The Company has entered a non-binding Letter of Intent to acquire control of Space Defense Innovations LLC,

which is engaged in distributing BlueBird Aero Systems’ advanced tactical UAS and unique Hybrid Fixed-Wing

VTOL-UAS platforms in Europe

 

VANCOUVER and GLIL YAM, Israel, September 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IM Cannabis Corp. ("IMCC" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: IMCC), today announced that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) to acquire 51% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Space Defense Innovations LLC, a Polish limited liability company (“SDI”), on a fully diluted basis.

 

SDI, through its wholly owned subsidiary BlueAero Group Sp. z o.o., operates in the unmanned aerial systems (“UAS”) sector, is a reseller and, upon receipt of applicable regulatory licenses, is expected to become a manufacturer of BlueBird Aero Systems’ (“BlueBird”) tactical UAS and unique Hybrid Fixed-Wing VTOL-UAS Products (the “Products”) in Europe with exclusivity in Poland.

 

From VTOL ISR (vertical take-off and landing with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) platforms to loitering munition, 3-dimensional mapping capabilities and vast field proven experience, the Products combine advanced Israeli technology and military experience with proprietary in-house design, development and manufacturing. BlueBird’s comprehensive ISO 9001:2015 certified capabilities include: infrastructure, composite materials, mechanical, electronic and aeronautical engineering, as well as software development.

 

The transaction aligns with the Company’s stated objective of evaluating and building technology-driven businesses beyond its core medical cannabis operations in Israel and Germany.

 

Under the terms of the LOI, IMCC will acquire 51% of SDI for a combination of IMCC common shares (capped so that no SDI shareholder beneficially owns more than 19.99% of IMCC) and/or pre-funded warrants, plus a 24-month seller loan bearing 9% annual interest with 100% warrant coverage on the principal (exercisable at a 25% premium to the closing price on the date definitive agreements are signed). IMCC will also receive a five-year call option to acquire the remaining SDI shares at the same valuation, the right to appoint a majority of SDI’s board, and will provide SDI at closing with an on-demand line of credit of up to EUR 2.3 million (36-month maturity) convertible at IMC’s discretion into SDI shares at the fair-market valuation established at closing, subject to a minimum company valuation of no less than US$5 million supported by an independent valuation report.

 

The parties aim to execute definitive agreements within 60 days. The LOI is non-binding except for customary confidentiality, exclusivity, and governing law provisions. Closing remains subject to satisfactory due diligence (at IMCC’s sole discretion), negotiation of definitive agreements, receipt of all required corporate, governmental and third-party approvals, assignment of certain key commercial agreements, and other customary conditions. There can be no assurance that the parties will enter into definitive agreements or that the proposed transaction will be completed.
