Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (VEEE) amended its merger agreement with USFM Corporation. Under the agreement, Twin Vee shares other than shares canceled under its terms and dissenting shares would receive pro rata rights to Pubco shares representing 7% of Pubco’s issued and outstanding shares immediately after the second merger, calculated on a fully diluted basis. Pubco would own Twin Vee and USFM as wholly owned subsidiaries; the announcement sets ownership at 93% for pre-closing USFM holders and 7% for pre-closing Twin Vee holders, revising the initial 90%/10% split.

Before closing, Twin Vee would transfer assets and liabilities, excluding $700,000 in cash and Delaware Matter liabilities that it must retain, to Assetco and then a trust, with CVR interests distributed to existing stockholders. The agreement says the trust will seek to sell the assets and liabilities; the announcement says it will operate the marine business, with CVR distributions expected from operations or a sale. USFM must use reasonable best efforts to seek to close a PIPE investment of up to $5 million. Closing requires stockholder approvals and other conditions; the parties currently expect it in the fourth quarter of 2026 or the first quarter of 2027, subject to those conditions.

Filing Explained

Termination can trigger fees: USFM may owe Twin Vee $500,000, or Twin Vee may owe USFM $800,000, depending on the reason.

The October 7 amended agreement is still uncompleted; if the mergers close, Twin Vee convertible securities automatically accelerate and vest into rights to a pro rata share of the 7% Pubco allocation for Twin Vee holders, while its warrants become corresponding Pubco warrants.

Specified termination circumstances can trigger a $500,000 fee payable by USFM to Twin Vee, including certain failures to obtain USFM stockholder approval or to close by December 31, 2026; listed circumstances can also require Twin Vee to pay USFM $800,000, including termination to accept a superior proposal or an unresolved reincorporation matter.

fully diluted basis financial
"calculated 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.
contingent value right financial
"contingent value rights interests"
A contingent value right is a special security that gives its holder the right to receive one or more future payments only if specified events happen, such as a product reaching a sales target or getting regulatory approval. It matters to investors because it offers potential extra payout tied to uncertain outcomes—like a bet that a project will succeed—so it can add upside to a deal while also carrying extra risk and valuation uncertainty.
PIPE investment financial
"up to $5 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) investment"
A pipe investment is a private sale of stock or convertible securities made directly to selected investors by a company that is already publicly traded, allowing the company to raise cash quickly without a full public offering. It matters to investors because it can dilute existing share value and change ownership stakes, but also signals that the company secured financing; like a homeowner taking a quick private loan to cover a repair, it can be a sign of needed funds or investor confidence.
fiduciary-out regulatory
"subject to a customary “fiduciary-out” provision"
fairness opinion financial
"delivery of a fairness opinion"
A fairness opinion is a professional assessment that evaluates whether the terms of a financial deal, such as a merger or acquisition, are fair from a financial point of view. It helps investors and stakeholders understand if the deal is reasonable and balanced, much like an independent expert giving an unbiased judgment on whether a price or agreement is fair. This assurance can increase confidence that the transaction is fair for all parties involved.

Amended and Restated Merger Agreement

 

On October 7, 2026, Twin Vee PowerCats Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), USFM Corporation, a Colorado corporation (“USFM”), Twin Vee Holdco Inc., a Texas corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Pubco”), Twin Vee Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub I”), and USFM Merger Sub Inc., a Colorado corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub II” and, together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”), entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “A&R Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the A&R Merger Agreement, (a) Merger Sub I will merge with and into the Company (the “First Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the First Merger (the “Surviving Company”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and (b) Merger Sub II will merge with and into USFM (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), with USFM continuing as the surviving corporation in the Second Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. The A&R Merger Agreement amends and restates that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 12, 2026, by and among the Company, USFM, and USFM Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of USFM. The Company’s shares are currently publicly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the A&R Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger (the “First Effective Time”), and as a result of the First Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than certain Shares to be canceled pursuant to the terms of the A&R Merger Agreement and Dissenting Shares (as defined in the A&R Merger Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion of an aggregate number of shares of Pubco’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Pubco Shares”), that represent 7% of the issued and outstanding Pubco Shares immediately following the effective time of the Second Merger (the “Second Effective Time”), calculated on a fully diluted basis (the “Company Consideration Shares”).

 

In addition, pursuant to the A&R Merger Agreement, effective as of the First Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, (a) each Company Convertible Security (as defined in the A&R Merger Agreement) shall be accelerated and fully vested, and converted into the right to receive a pro rata portion of the Company Consideration Shares and (b) each Company Common Stock Warrant (as defined in the A&R Merger Agreement) shall be assumed by the Surviving Company and shall become a corresponding warrant of Pubco.

 

The Company is subject to customary restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide information to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, third parties regarding alternative acquisition proposals. However, prior to the receipt of the approval of the transactions contemplated by the A&R Merger Agreement from the Company’s stockholders, the solicitation restrictions are subject to a customary “fiduciary-out” provision that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to provide information to and participate in negotiations or discussions with third parties with respect to an alternative acquisition proposal if it determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be a violation of the Company’s board of directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law. In addition, the Company’s board of directors, after satisfying certain notice requirements to USFM, may change its recommendation with respect to the Mergers if it determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so under certain circumstances specified in the A&R Merger Agreement would reasonably be expected to be a violation of the Company’s board of directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law.

The A&R Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights, and provides that, upon termination of the A&R Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, USFM may be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $500,000 and the Company may be required to pay USFM a termination fee of $800,000. Specifically, if the A&R Merger Agreement is terminated (a) in connection with a failure of USFM to obtain its stockholders approval of the Mergers or (b) subject to certain conditions, in the event the Mergers are not consummated prior to the “end date” of December 31, 2026, then, in either case, the $500,000 termination fee will be payable by USFM to the Company upon termination of the A&R Merger Agreement. In addition, if the Company terminates the A&R Merger Agreement (x) to accept a Superior Proposal (as defined in the A&R Merger Agreement) in compliance with the terms of the A&R Merger Agreement, (y) after the Company shall have (i) within ten (10) Business Days of a tender or exchange offer relating to securities of the Company having been commenced, failed to publicly recommend against such tender or exchange offer, (ii) the Company shall have failed to publicly reaffirm its recommendation of the First Merger within 10 Business Days after the date any Acquisition Proposal (as such term is defined in the A&R Merger Agreement) shall have been announced, or (iii) a willful or material breach by the Company of the exclusivity provisions of the A&R Merger Agreement shall have occurred, or (z) following USFM’s determination that the Company will likely fail to resolve the Reincorporation Matter (as defined in the A&R Merger Agreement) (i) prior to December 31, 2026 or (ii) in a manner satisfactory to USFM in its sole discretion, then, in any such case, the $800,000 termination fee will be payable by the Company to USFM upon termination of the A&R Merger Agreement.

 

The A&R Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, Pubco, the Merger Subs and USFM, including, among others, covenants that: (a) each party will conduct its business in the ordinary course of its business during the interim period between the execution of the A&R Merger Agreement and the Second Effective Time or earlier termination of the A&R Merger Agreement, (b) each party will not engage in certain types of transactions or take certain actions outside the ordinary course during such period without the prior consent of the other party, and (c) USFM will use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by the PIPE Investment (as such term is defined in the A&R Merger Agreement). The A&R Merger Agreement also requires each of the Company and USFM to call and hold a stockholder meeting and for the Company’s board of directors to recommend that the Company’s stockholders approve the A&R Merger Agreement.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, pursuant to the A&R Merger Agreement, prior to the closing of the Mergers, the Company, Twin Vee Bahama Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Assetco”), and a to be formed Delaware contingent value rights trust (the “Trust”), must consummate the Pre-Closing CVR Restructuring (as defined below) pursuant to which such parties shall: (a) form Assetco as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (b) cause the contribution of all of the Company Assets and Liabilities (as defined in the A&R Merger Agreement to generally include all of the Company’s assets and liabilities other than $700,000 in cash and the liabilities related to the Delaware Matter, which must be retained by the Company as of the Closing) from the Company to Assetco in exchange for all of Assetco’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Assetco Contribution”), using a contribution agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to USFM; (c) form the Trust as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (d) cause the contribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Assetco from the Company to the Trust in exchange for all of the Trust’s contingent value rights interests, using a contribution agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to USFM; and (e) cause the distribution of the contingent value rights interests from the Company to the Company’s existing stockholders, using a distribution agreement in a form reasonably satisfactory to USFM, after which the Company shall retain no ownership or other interest (whether in the form of stock, trust interests, or otherwise) in either the Trust or Assetco (such steps collectively, the “Pre-Closing CVR Restructuring”). Following closing of the Mergers, the Trust will seek to sell the Company Assets and Liabilities and any net proceeds received from such sales would ultimately accrue to the benefit of existing Company stockholders.

Consummation of the Mergers is subject to various conditions, including (a) obtaining requisite approval of the Mergers from the Company’s and USFM’s stockholders, (b) the Registration Statement (as defined in the A&R Merger Agreement) filed by Pubco with the SEC becoming effective, (c) the absence of certain laws or orders issued by certain specified governmental entities making illegal or permanently enjoining or prohibiting the Mergers, (d) the Company Consideration Shares being approved for listing on the NYSE, NYSE American, or another applicable stock exchange, (e) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the parties, subject to certain exceptions, (f) the absence of a material adverse effect on either party that is continuing, (g) consummation of the Pre-Closing CVR Restructuring, and (h) delivery of a fairness opinion.

The A&R Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Pubco, the Merger Subs, or USFM.

The representations and warranties may also be subject to contractual standards of materiality that may be different from those generally applicable under the securities laws. Neither the Company nor USFM’s investors are third-party beneficiaries under the A&R Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

USFM and Twin Vee Amend Merger Agreement

 

GOLDEN, CO and FORT PIERCE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 8, 2026 — USFM Corporation (“USFM”), a privately held, U.S.-based mineral exploration company advancing critical mineral opportunities in Greenland, and Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (Nasdaq: VEEE) (“Twin Vee”), a manufacturer, distributor and marketer of power sport boats, announced today that they have amended their definitive merger agreement for USFM’s pending business combination with Twin Vee, which was initially entered into on July 12, 2026. The amended merger agreement, amongst other changes, reflects a revised transaction structure, includes a requirement for USFM to use reasonable best efforts to seek to close an up to $5 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) investment, and reflects a reduction in the post-closing stock split for the combined company from 90% pre-closing USFM stockholders / 10% pre-closing Twin Vee stockholders under the initial merger agreement to 93% pre-closing USFM stockholders / 7% pre-closing Twin Vee stockholders under the amended merger agreement. Other key terms of the July 12, 2026 initial merger agreement remain unchanged.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, a newly formed entity called Twin Vee Holdco Inc., a Texas corporation (“Pubco”), formed two new transitory merger subsidiaries, one of which will merge with USFM and the other of which will merge with Twin Vee, resulting in Pubco as the parent company holding both USFM and Twin Vee as separate wholly owned subsidiaries at closing. Pubco will be owned 93% by pre-closing USFM stockholders and 7% by pre-closing Twin Vee stockholders. Pubco’s shares will be registered with the SEC and its stock is expected to be listed on NYSE American or another national securities exchange. Additionally, as previously disclosed, prior to completion of the mergers, Twin Vee will form a Delaware statutory trust (the “CVR Trust”) for the benefit of the pre-closing Twin Vee stockholders. Each pre-closing Twin Vee stockholder will receive a non-transferable contingent value right (“CVR”) in the CVR Trust as a special distribution from Twin Vee. Twin Vee will transfer the assets and liabilities relating to its marine business to the CVR Trust and the CVR Trust will operate the marine business as a separate company focused on delivering leading recreational marine products to boating enthusiasts. The CVRs will entitle holders to receive future distributions from the CVR Trust, which are expected to be generated from the operations or sale of the marine business.

 

The amended transaction terms are intended to unlock value for stockholders, provide the operating business with greater strategic and financial flexibility, and position both businesses for their next phase of growth.

 

The amended merger agreement has been approved by the Board of Directors of Twin Vee and the Board of Directors of USFM Corporation. The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Twin Vee’s disinterested shareholders, applicable regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions contained in the definitive agreements. The parties currently expect the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2026 or the first quarter of 2027, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions. Neither USFM nor Twin Vee expects any immediate changes to customer service, vendor relationships, or employee operations as a result of today’s announcement.
