Investors often turn to NASDAQ-listed stocks for their liquidity, transparency, and innovation. NASDAQ provides a platform for companies to thrive and offers investors a wide range of investment opportunities. Here's one with some recent news that could turn out to be significant.
Sigma Additive Solutions (NASDAQ: SASI)
SASI, a NASDAQ-listed leader in quality assurance software for the commercial 3D printing industry, is making waves with two pivotal developments.
On September 7, it was announced that SASI had signed a non-binding LOI to acquire NextTrip Holdings, Inc., a Florida-based travel technology company. This transformative move involves Sigma acquiring 100% of NextTrip's capital stock in exchange for Sigma common stock, aiming to make NextTrip a publicly traded company on Nasdaq. Secondly, Sigma has inked an LOI to sell intellectual property assets related to its additive quality assurance product to a strategic buyer. This strategic realignment seeks to maximize shareholder value.
NextTrip Holdings, Inc., specializing in travel technology, recently acquired a scalable travel booking engine that generated over $400 million in bookings in 2019. With a new management team and over 200 direct relationships with travel organizations and industry suppliers, NextTrip is poised to play a significant role in the travel space. This partnership positions NextTrip to tap into additional capital sources, explore strategic mergers and acquisitions, and develop innovative technologies to expand travel offerings.
Upon closing, NextTrip's CEO, William Kerby, is expected to lead the publicly traded company, with the right to appoint a board seat. Sigma's existing board will remain during the realignment period, with NextTrip gaining the ability to designate additional board members and officers upon reaching business milestones.
Jacob Brunsberg, President and CEO of Sigma, stated, "The transaction would imply a solid valuation for Sigma and good positioning in public markets." Lyndsey North, President of NextTrip, commented, "We look forward to continued growth and product development. NextTrip's commitment to customer service, deep supplier relationships, and proprietary technology uniquely position us for a strong trajectory across multiple segments of the travel market."
Pending the negotiation of definitive agreements, regulatory approvals, and customary closing conditions, these transactions are expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. As a result, Sigma will change its name to NextTrip, Inc., and list on Nasdaq under a new trading symbol reflecting the NextTrip name. Until then, Sigma Additive Solutions and NextTrip will continue to operate as separate entities. Lake Street Capital Markets is serving as the exclusive financial advisor to Sigma in these transactions.
