I, a special purpose acquisition company formed by Ursula Burns, Kanishka Roy, and Mike Dinsdale, have entered into a definitive business combination agreement \u2013 providing for a merger that will result in Sakuu becoming a publicly traded company. Upon the closing of the proposed transaction, the combined company will be renamed Sakuu Holdings Inc., and is expected to be listed on a US national exchange under the ticker symbol \u201cSAKU.\u201d The transaction implies an enterprise value of approximately USD 705 million.<\/p>\n<p>Sakuu intends to license its battery chemistries and sell its Kavian platforms to companies seeking to deploy cleaner, better, and more cost-effective <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">energy<\/a> at scale.

With the Kavian platform, and across its battery product lines, Sakuu intends to first serve the next-generation solid-state battery needs for broad industries, such as e-mobility, grid <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/energy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">energy<\/a> storage, <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/aerospace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">aerospace<\/a>, industrial, <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/consumer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consumer<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/electronics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">electronics<\/a>, and electric <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/automotive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vehicle<\/a>s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe arrival of transformative additive manufacturing will have profound implications across global legacy manufacturing. Our high-volume Kavian solution for printing batteries can potentially leapfrog decades of manufacturing stagnation. We believe Kavian is the only known solution for producing heavily in-demand products, such as solid-state batteries, that can be custom-printed rapidly and cost-effectively \u2013 taking next-generation battery manufacturing to realms never imagined. Since 2016, our talented team, with deep and diverse industry expertise, has worked diligently to develop Kavian, along with our next-generation battery products. We are not a concept company \u2013 we have successfully and consistently printed high-performance batteries since December 2022 and, with this progress, we have entered the first stages of commercialization. With this proposed merger, the strong support of the exceptional leadership team at Plum, and our dedicated investors, we feel Sakuu is well-positioned to create a paradigm shift in complex manufacturing, st<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>ing first with batteries,\u201d said Robert Bagheri, Founder, and Chief Executive Officer of Sakuu.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/4973927755592857203.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always been fascinated by fundamental step changes in approach that unlock significant value in otherwise incrementally evolving industries. Sakuu represents an opportunity for such a fundamental step change in manufacturing through its high-volume, multi-material, additive manufacturing Kavian platform \u2013 something that has impressed even a printing industry veteran like me. Solid-state batteries, and the massive addressable market associated with it, could just be Act 1 for the Company. We believe its technology has already allowed it to leapfrog many more highly capitalized battery suppliers. Plum is honored and excited to p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>ner with Sakuu for its long-term journey in the public markets,\u201d said Ursula Burns, Chairwoman of Plum.<\/p>\n<h2>Sakuu investment highlights<\/h2>\n<p>Sakuu has existing purchase orders totaling over USD 300 million in 2023-2025, and a world-class management team with exceptional collective experience in the technology space, successfully scaling complex commercial manufacturing, and a proven track record of driving innovation, growth, revenue, and capital stewardship.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #eaeaea7a;padding: 15px 30px;align-items: center;border-radius: 4px;margin-top: 1em;margin-bottom: 1em\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1;padding-right: 30px\">\n<h4 style=\"margin-bottom: 14px\">Manufacturing on Demand<\/h4>\n<div>Online manufacturing service that meets your most stringent requirements.
