FingerMotion is a technology company developing a North American behind-the-meter power and compute program in Alberta, in addition to its historical mobile data and telecommunications platforms.

The Newbit Agreement

FingerMotion signed the agreement, dated Sept. 23, with individual shareholders of Newbit, the entity that holds the land rights, permits and infrastructure associated with FingerMotion’s previously disclosed 9.9 MW behind-the-meter site in Alberta, according to a press release.

Under the agreement, FingerMotion will purchase 100% of Newbit’s outstanding shares for US$2.3 million in cash on a cash-free, debt-free basis. A deposit of US$230,000 was previously paid, with a further US$230,000 payable on execution of the agreement and the remaining approximately US$1.84 million payable in cash at closing. Closing is targeted on or before Oct. 29.

The agreement implements a binding memorandum of understanding dated Sept. 8 and a binding commitment the company announced Sept. 10.
