On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, INNO acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Unique.

Unique Logistics is a global logistics and freight forwarding company.

Management Buyout

The biggest misperception about this deal is that INNO is merging with Unique Logistics Hong Kong. This is not the case. INNO is merging with Unique Logistics Holdings that was formed earlier this year in a management buyout. From the 8-K:

On May 29, 2020, Unique Logistics Holdings, entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and between Unique Logistics Holdings and UL HK, pursuant to which the Company purchased from UL HK (i) sixty percent (60%) of the membership interests of Unique Logistics International (ATL) LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“UL ATL”); (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the common stock of Unique Logistics International (BOS) Inc, a Massachusetts corporation (“UL BOS”); and (iii) sixty-five percent (65%) of the Unique Logistics International (USA) Inc., a New York corporation, for a purchase price of: (i) US$6,000,000, to be paid in accordance with the following (a) $1,000,000 in cash (the “UL HK Cash Purchase Price”); (b) $5,000,000 in the form a subordinated promissory note issued in favor of UL HK and (c) 1,500,000 shares of common stock of Unique Logistics Holdings, representing on issuance 15% of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock then outstanding on a fully diluted basis (the “UL HK Stock Purchase Price”).

Pursuant to the ULHK Purchase Agreement, Unique Logistics Holdings has been granted an option to purchase 50% of UL HK’s interest in Unique Logistics International (North and East China) Company Limited and its affiliated companies (collectively “UL China”), and has been granted an option to purchase 65% of UL HK’s interest in Unique Logistics International India (Private) Limited (“UL India”) within 12 months of the Buyout Transaction Date.

Know What You're Investing In

When it comes to OTC, always look at the official filings. Don't speculate. Luckily, for investors, INNO is a clean shell and its filings are current. The company is not trying to deceive anyone. Unfortunately, the ones trying to deceive are the ones posting on iHub and social media. A simple look at the actual 8-K tells you all you need to know.View on Twitter/X

Bottom Line

Unique Logistics Holdings is a real company lead by CEO Sunandan Ray who has a lot of experience in the logistics industry. After the management buyout, going public by merging with INNO makes a lot of sense. However, the company is not doing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues. Ask yourself, if it was would it do this type of financing?

Simultaneously with the Closing, on October 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company sold to such Investor (i) a 10% secured subordinated convertible promissory note in the principal aggregate amount of $1,111,000 (the “The Note”) realizing gross proceeds of $1,000,000 and (ii) a warrant to purchase up to 570,478,452 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.001946, subject to adjustment as provided therein (the “ Warrant”).

One of the main reasons for the share price jump is investors jumping in not knowing the facts. We do not yet have a clear picture of Unique Logistics Holdings' financials. This should come in the next 10-Q. Until then, if you have profits, might want to consider taking some money off the table until the picture becomes clearer. We also don't know what the final share count will be once everything is all settled. We are not bearish or biased (no position and not paid), but caution is warranted.As always, good luck to all (except the shorts)!
