- Engagement of Lynx Advisors and Spark Plus as corporate advisors
- Issuance of options and shares tied to capital raising capacity
- Settlement of legacy disputes with Kjøller A/S via share issuance
- Termination of EVUNI agreements due to non-subscription
- Focus on new partnerships in South Africa, Asia, and the Middle East
Corporate Advisory Appointments Signal Growth Ambitions
Janus Electric Holdings Limited (ASX:JNS), an innovator in heavy vehicle electrification, has taken decisive steps to reinforce its capital position and investor relations by appointing two corporate advisory firms. Lynx Advisors Pty Ltd, a boutique investment advisory, has been engaged for a 12-month term to support Janus Electric’s capital strategy and investor engagement efforts as the company advances its commercial rollout. Alongside Lynx, Spark Plus Pte Ltd will provide corporate advisory services for six months, focusing on roadshows and investor engagement across Asia and the Middle East.
These appointments come with equity incentives: Lynx Advisors will receive 1.5 million options exercisable over three years at prices of $0.20 and $0.30, while Spark Plus will be issued $50,000 worth of ordinary shares at the price of Janus’s next capital raising. Both issuances are subject to the company’s placement capacity, underscoring Janus’s intent to align advisory support with shareholder value creation.
Resolving Legacy Disputes to Clear the Path Forward
Janus Electric has also resolved a longstanding dispute with Kjøller A/S and Kjøller DMCC related to advisory services and investments tied to its initial public offering. The resolution involves a Deed of Settlement whereby Janus will issue 1 million shares at $0.20 to Kjøller A/S, again subject to placement capacity. This settlement removes a potential overhang on the company’s capital structure and investor confidence, allowing management to focus fully on growth initiatives.
EVUNI Agreement Terminated, New Partnerships on Horizon
In a notable update, Janus Electric confirmed that EVUNI Pte Ltd did not subscribe to its entitlement under a prior Share Placement Agreement, resulting in the termination of both the share placement and distribution and licence agreements with EVUNI. This development frees up placement capacity and prompts Janus to actively pursue alternative partnerships, particularly in South Africa and other international markets. The company’s strategic pivot highlights its adaptability and commitment to expanding its footprint in zero-emission transport solutions globally.
Janus Electric’s integrated approach; combining patented battery swap platforms, truck conversion kits, charging infrastructure, and fleet management software; positions it well to capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable freight and logistics solutions across Australia and beyond.
Bottom Line?
Janus Electric’s strategic advisory appointments and dispute resolutions clear the way for fresh capital and new partnerships, setting the stage for its next growth phase.
