Insights
Navitas delivers part of its merger earnout using new shares.
Navitas has issued 3,277,438 Class A common shares after a stock-price-based Triggering Event I under its 2021 Business Combination Agreement. This represents contingent merger consideration owed to former Legacy Navitas holders and related parties rather than a cash-funded acquisition.
The agreement allows up to 10,000,000 earnout shares in total if price targets are met before October 19, 2026. The actual impact on existing holders depends on how many of these contingent shares ultimately vest as further stock-price milestones are achieved.
