MGO Global sets exchange ratio for business combination

In a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, MGO Global Inc., an apparel manufacturing company currently trading at $1.06 per share, has announced the share exchange ratio for its upcoming business combination with Heidmar Maritime Holdings Corp., a move that will result in a significant change in the company's ownership structure. According to InvestingPro data, the company has seen a remarkable 103% return over the past week, though its market capitalization remains modest at $2.45 million.

The transaction, which was initially disclosed in June 2024 and subsequently amended, will see MGO Global's stockholders and the shareholders of Heidmar exchange their shares for newly issued common shares of Holdings. The agreed Issuance Ratio is set at 30 MGO Shares for every one Holdings Share. This ratio will apply to both MGO stockholders and Heidmar shareholders and is designed to preserve their relative ownership percentages in the new entity. InvestingPro analysis indicates the company maintains a strong balance sheet position, holding more cash than debt, which could provide flexibility during this transition.

Upon the closing of the business combination, MGO stockholders will possess 5.66% of the new Holdings shares, totaling 3,212,413 shares. Meanwhile, Heidmar shareholders (along with MGO's financial advisor) will command a 94.34% majority, with 53,540,219 Holdings shares issued to them. The total number of Holdings shares to be issued at closing is 56,752,633.

The filing also states that no fractional shares will be issued. Instead, MGO stockholders who would receive fractional shares will be compensated in cash based on the closing price of MGO Shares on Nasdaq the day before the business combination is finalized.

This strategic move is part of MGO's broader efforts to restructure and expand its business operations through the combination with Heidmar, which is expected to close in the near future, subject to customary closing conditions. The business combination is anticipated to change the landscape of ownership, with MGO's current stockholders becoming minority owners of the newly formed entity. InvestingPro highlights that MGO currently maintains a healthy current ratio of 14.13, indicating strong short-term liquidity as it approaches this significant transition.
