Key Points
- NYSE ticker: TE
- T1 Energy completed intellectual property and asset acquisition from Evervolt Green Energy on July 28, 2026
- Purchase price totals US$133 million plus a previously paid US$2 million option premium; payments structured in four tranches from July to October 2026

Acquisition Converts Licensing Agreements into Full Intellectual Property Ownership
T1 Energy Inc. has acquired all intellectual property and proprietary rights formerly licensed from Evervolt Green Energy Holding Pte, Ltd., a Singapore-based private company, under an intellectual property purchase agreement dated July 28, 2026. The acquired IP includes assets previously licensed under two agreements: an IP License Agreement dated December 23, 2024 (amended December 29, 2025), and an Intellectual Property License Agreement dated July 16, 2024 (amended December 23, 2024, and December 29, 2025). Both licenses were terminated immediately upon closing.
This acquisition marks a strategic shift from a licensing framework to outright ownership of the intellectual property portfolio. By exercising a call option granted under a letter agreement dated July 27, 2026, and having paid a US$2 million option premium, T1 Energy eliminates ongoing licensing fees and secures permanent rights to the assets.
Four-Tranche Payment Plan Scheduled Through October 2026
The total purchase price of US$133 million will be paid in four tranches over three months. The initial payment of US$60 million is due three business days post-closing, in early August 2026. Subsequent payments include US$25 million on September 30, 2026, US$30 million on October 15, 2026, and a final US$18 million on October 30, 2026.
T1 Energy retains flexibility to pay any tranche wholly or partially in cash, common stock, or a combination thereof, subject to mutual agreement. The company currently intends to satisfy the first tranche via issuance of common stock, enabling effective cash management while leveraging equity valuation.
Terms for Common Stock Issuance and Equity Cap
Common stock issued to Evervolt Green Energy as payment will be designated as "Consideration Shares," issued as restricted securities bearing customary legends under applicable securities laws. The number of shares issued will be calculated at a 15% discount to the volume-weighted average price of T1 Energy’s stock over a five-trading-day period ending two business days before issuance.
The total Consideration Shares issued under the call option agreement are capped at 19.9% of T1 Energy’s outstanding shares as of the call option agreement date. Any excess purchase price beyond this cap must be paid in cash. Issuance of Consideration Shares also requires prior approval from the New York Stock Exchange. T1 Energy commits to filing registration statements or prospectus supplements with the SEC within five business days after each issuance date to facilitate resale by the seller.
Representations, Warranties, and Indemnification Provisions
The purchase agreement includes standard representations and warranties from both parties. Evervolt Green Energy represents ownership and valid title to the acquired IP, confirms its enforceability, and asserts no existing claims, liens, or encumbrances on the assets.
Seller-specific indemnification covers third-party claims alleging infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights. Mutual indemnification provisions address third-party claims arising from retained liabilities, negligence, willful misconduct, or material breaches. Evervolt Green Energy also represents its status as a non-specified foreign entity under the Internal Revenue Code and affirms compliance with applicable laws.
Post-Closing Obligations for IP Transfer and Recordation
Evervolt Green Energy is obligated to complete all necessary ownership transfers and recordations with relevant IP offices within 30 days of closing. This includes cooperation to perfect the assignment of purchased assets, ensuring T1 Energy’s full ownership is reflected in all patent, trademark, and other intellectual property registries.
These post-closing requirements are critical to secure T1 Energy’s rights to license, enforce, and monetize the acquired portfolio without ambiguity.
Foreign Entity Status and Tax Implications
Evervolt Green Energy Holding Pte, Ltd., incorporated under Singapore law, represents its classification as a non-specified foreign entity under Sections 7701(a)(51)(B) and 7701(a)(51)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. This designation addresses U.S. tax and regulatory considerations relevant to the transaction and issuance of restricted stock.
This representation reflects T1 Energy’s careful assessment of tax impacts related to acquiring IP from a foreign entity and issuing equity securities accordingly.
Assurances Regarding Absence of Third-Party IP Claims
The seller affirms that no third-party claims exist alleging infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights related to the acquired assets. This assurance provides T1 Energy with confidence in the clean title of the IP portfolio.
Combined with indemnification obligations, these representations protect T1 Energy from potential future disputes over IP ownership or infringement claims.
Compliance with Securities Laws and Registration Commitments
Consideration Shares will be issued as restricted securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, bearing customary restrictive legends. T1 Energy will file registration statements or prospectus supplements within five business days after each issuance date to enable resale by Evervolt Green Energy.
NYSE approval is required prior to any issuance of Consideration Shares, ensuring compliance with exchange rules. These measures demonstrate T1 Energy’s adherence to securities regulations throughout the equity issuance process.
