Sono Group shares rise nearly 60% after announcing potential merger with Sports One
Shares of Sono Group (NASDAQ:SSM) surged by almost 59.3% in pre-market trading following the announcement of a non-binding letter of intent for a proposed business combination with privately held Sports One. The combined entity would be publicly traded and focus on acquiring minority stakes in major U.S. sports franchises, as well as operating a sports intelligence business. The transaction marks a significant shift from Sono Group's previous operations as a digital asset treasury company. Alongside the merger proposal, investors affiliated with Sports One acquired 19.9% of Sono Group’s shares through a registered direct offering at market price without discounts or warrants. The funds raised are intended for working capital and general corporate purposes. The proposed deal remains conditional on progressing beyond the non-binding letter of intent stage.
