NOTE 8. RELYEZ JOINT VENTURE

 

On April 20, 2025, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Emergen Energy, LLC, entered into a definitive agreement with RelyEZ Energy Group to form GridSpan Energy LLC for the development, construction, and operation of utility-scale battery energy storage projects in the United States.

 

Under the arrangement, each accepted project special purpose vehicle entity (“SPV”) is expected to be owned 80% by RelyEZ and 20% by Emergen until project refinancing. Following refinancing, the Company may repurchase RelyEZ’s interest at cost plus a stated annual return in accordance with the governing agreements. RelyEZ funded $10.0 million into the joint venture during 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not contributed capital to the joint venture and no capital call was issued or due from the Company. Management evaluated the joint venture under ASC 810 and determined that GridSpan Energy LLC is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the joint venture is not consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the Company’s recognized interests related to the joint venture was $0. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to the joint venture primarily consists of its contractual capital commitment of up to $12.5 million, which becomes callable on a 10% pro rata basis after RelyEZ’s initial $10.0 million funding, together with any other contractual commitments expressly described in the governing agreements. The Company did not provide financial support to the joint venture during 2025 beyond the commitments described above.
