MONTREAL – Tactico is pleased to announce that on December 15, 2021, Neuro Digital Inc., a Tactico portfolio company, was acquired by CryptoStar Corp. (TSXV: CSTR) (OTCQB: CSTXF). Neuro Digital is a data centre operator specializing in GPU mining, as well as Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and AI solutions with a power capacity of 0.5 megawatt.
The share purchase agreement was a CAD$2.4 million cash consideration, subject to customary purchase price adjustments in addition to a pre-transaction dividend of $1.6 million. With this acquisition, Philippe Bergeron and Frederick Angers will continue their role as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Neuro Digital, and will also be responsible for the expansion of operations throughout Quebec, Canada.
Philippe Leroux, Partner and Legal Counsel at Tactico, who has been heavily involved in supporting Neuro Digital Inc. since May 2019 (the date of initial investment), comments: “I have had the pleasure of working closely with Philippe Bergeron and Frederick Angers as well as the Company’s board of directors throughout its tremendous growth. I have always been highly impressed by the team’s commitment and professionalism as we experienced the exciting crypto market headwinds. It is extremely rewarding to work with likeminded individuals towards a common goal and to see it come to fruition.”
Tactico’s SPV had a gross return of close to 62% (before fees and taxes) in just over two years. Philippe Leroux added, “We are very pleased with the return from this investment particularly when considering our very conservative investment thesis and the risk-mitigating strategies Tactico utilized in this situation.”
