Rhea-AI Filing Summary
INVE Technologies, Inc. (formerly Identiv, Inc., INVE) completed the sale of its specialty Internet of Things business to Trackonomy Systems, Inc., transferring substantially all IoT operating assets, the Identiv (Thailand) subsidiary and $25 million in cash in exchange for $50 million of Trackonomy Series C preferred stock and the buyer’s assumption of certain liabilities. The company changed its corporate name to INVE Technologies, Inc. effective September 15, 2026, while its shares continue to trade under the ticker INVE, and it plans to refocus on building a physical AI-focused compliance SaaS business supported by an expected strategic partnership with Trackonomy.
