BBHC Sells Patent Portfolio
Company Nets $1.25 Million in Upfront Consideration,
Secures Conditional Payments for Five Years
PHOENIX, AZ , Aug. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BBHC, Inc., (“BBHC” or “the Company”) (OTC: TRNX), a sustainability technologies company, announced that it has sold its wholly-owned subsidiary MagneGas IP, LLC for $1.25 million in upfront consideration, plus additional contingent payments for five years. The sale constitutes a divestiture of all of the Company’s legacy intellectual property and patent portfolio.
As part of the transaction, the Company secured capital resources to continue to clear outstanding and potential near term liabilities. In addition, the transaction provides that in the event the intellectual property portfolio sold generates any revenues, royalties, partnership or other form of income directly attributable to the patented technology, the Company shall receive a commission of seven percent of the revenues received by the buyer.
“We believe this is a positive next step for the Company,” commented Scott Mahoney, CEO of BBHC. “The Company has experienced a near-total loss in business prospects due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, the Company made the difficult choice to begin systematically liquidating its remaining assets to continue to clear its liabilities and obligations. The lack of certainty around the timing of potential royalty payments that we previously anticipated having received by now forced us to seek some immediate value for our intellectual property without any further delays.”
“While we are disappointed that we can no longer pursue our goals for water sterilization and other potential applications for the patent portfolio, we feel this is the best path to provide for potential future shareholder value. The seven percent contingent payment for the next five years could provide significant value to the Company. Once we clear our liabilities and obligations, we hope to utilize those possible future payments to best convey value to shareholders through all available options, including a share buyback, cash dividend, buyout, reverse merger, or go private strategy. All strategic alternatives will be considered in due time,” concluded Mr. Mahoney.
