Evtec is a supplier of proprietary mission critical parts for the Electric Vehicle (EV), Hybrid, Performance and Luxury OEM automotive markets.

Post-closing, Blackbox and Evtec Aluminum common stockholders will own 26.7% and 73.3% of the estimated 12,000,000 common shares outstanding post-merger, respectively.

Blackbox plans to acquire the remaining 87% of Evtec Automotive in the first quarter of 2024. Evtec Automotive's inclusion in the merger would result in Blackbox shareholders retaining 9.5% of the combined companies.

Blackbox common stockholders of record immediately prior to closing of the transaction will receive a contingent value right for the net proceeds received by the Company for the sale or spin-off of the current Blackbox fintech operations within a 24-month period after the close of the merger.
