Together, we aim to accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable and resilient food system, one that works in harmony with nature, rather than against it."As stated in their most recent annual reports, the companies and brands, which will be controlled or co-controlled by Moolec at the closing of the Business Combination, manage a portfolio of more than 800 patents (or patent applications) and over 550 product registrations, which translates into more than half a billion dollars of goods and services sold in their last fiscal year, to customers in more than 50 different countries.José López Lecube, CFO and Director of Moolec commented: "This transformative transaction marks a new stage for Moolec, positioning the company for growth within a broader organization that facilitates synergies on multiple levels. Becoming part of a larger organization will enable cost efficiencies and significant revenue increase as well as product portfolio diversification. It will also enlarge our investor base, providing the company with new stakeholders who support Moolec's new and more diversified business."Finally, as reported Mr. Gastón Paladini will step down as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Director and Chairman of the Board, effective immediately following Moolec's Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") to be held on April 22, 2025.Key highlights:Ingredient Innovation: Moolec will continue to develop its flagship molecular farming products such as Piggy Sooy™ and GLASO™, while integrating Mycofood™ under the Eternal® brand from Nutrecon.Biological Ag Expansion: Through Bioceres Group, Moolec will now offer upstream technologies for regenerative agriculture, including biological inputs and climate-resilient seeds like Rizobacter®, ProFarm®, and the HB4® trait.Advanced R&D and Services: Leveraging expanded infrastructure, Moolec will offer R&D, CDMO, and regulatory services under the Agrality® and Synbio Powerlabs® brands, which are controlled or co-controlled by Bioceres Group and Nutrecon, respectively.Emerging Tech & Equipment: The Company will also expand its reach into emerging technologies for grain and biomass transformation, especially in the biomaterials space, as well as new concepts on farm equipment, integrating material science, electric mobility, and autonomy. These emerging opportunities are being pursued by Gentle Tech and Bioceres Group subsidiaries.Operational Synergies: The Business Combination is expected to result in significant cost synergies and an integrated management structure, which will be presented at or prior to closing of the Business Combination.Timing and ApprovalsThe Business Combination was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of all the entities participating in the deal. It is expected to close during the second quarter of 2025 or thereafter, and it is subject to finalizing Moolec's reverse stock split process and re-domicile to the Cayman Islands among other customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. This includes the approval by Moolec's shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders of proposals relating to the Business Combination. Given that the transaction was originally proposed by about 70% of Moolec's current shareholders, the Company expects strong shareholder support for the Business Combination approval.The Business Combination will be consummated through an equity exchange. Bioceres Group's shareholders will surrender their share ownership in Bioceres Group and will receive in exchange up to 80,590,280 shares of Moolec. The shareholders of 100% of Nutrecon and 50% of Gentle Tech will surrender their ownership in these two entities and will receive in exchange 6,475,000 shares of Moolec and 5,000,000 warrants of Moolec at a strike price of $2.00 per warrant, subject to adjustment based on the results of the reverse stock split process.The intrinsic value of the exchange ratio and the $2 strike price of warrants represent both a compelling premium to Moolec's current stock price, and a unique opportunity to assemble one of the most formidable public companies in the agricultural industry.Description of Contributed Entities and AssetsThe Contributed Entities consist of Bioceres Group and its subsidiaries, Nutrecon and its subsidiaries and Gentle Tech and its subsidiaries.Bioceres GroupBioceres Crop Solutions Corp.
