In addition, HeartCore has received a warrant to acquire 3% of Metros Development’s common stock, on a fully diluted basis.

“Thanks to the persistence of our management team and the continued interest of Japanese companies seeking to list on Nasdaq, we have signed our fourth agreement for our Go IPO consulting service to date,” said CEO Sumitaka Yamamoto. “We expect to continue to prudently vet the companies we engage with and look forward to being a dedicated partner as they progress to the next chapter in their corporate history.”

Additionally, previous Go IPO client, AERWINS, the parent company of A.L.I. Technologies Inc., has successfully announced the signing of a definitive agreement for going public via a business combination with Pono Capital Corp., a NASDAQ listed company. With the transaction valuing AERWINS at $600 million and the Company able to acquire 1% of AERWINS’ common stock, on a fully diluted basis, the total value owned by HeartCore is expected to be approximately $6 million if the transaction closes.
