Minim, Inc. (NASDAQ:MINM) shares are jumping premarket today after the company disclosed a definitive merger agreement with privately held e2Companies, LLC in an all-stock transaction for an undisclosed amount.

As per the terms of the agreement and Plan of Merger, e2Companies will merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Minim, and as the surviving entity, it will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Minim.

At the effective time of the merger, each common unit of e2Companies issued and outstanding will be converted into common stock of Minim based on a fixed exchange ratio, with any resulting fractional shares to be rounded to the nearest whole share.

Interest holders of e2Companies will own around 97% of the combined company, and security holders of Minim will own about 3% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.

The combined company will focus on continuing to drive proprietary solutions for grid modernization and is expected to operate under the name e2Companies, Inc., and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
