A 38% Stake in tZERO Sits at the Center of the Deal

Neighborhood Intelligence owns about 38% of tZERO through direct and indirect interests and agreed to vote its shares in favor of the business combination, under a support agreement dated October 31. At the $350 million headline pre-money valuation, that stake equates to roughly $133 million. Executive Chairman and CEO Marcus Lemonis said the company looks forward to supporting tZERO as it advances its business.

Existing tZERO stockholders, including Neighborhood Intelligence, are expected to roll 100% of their equity into the combined company.

Valuation, Listing and Timing Terms

The $350 million valuation includes $25 million to be realized upon the achievement of specified milestones. The combined company's common stock is expected to trade on NYSE American under the ticker TZRO, and the transaction is expected to close in early 2027.

Closing requires approval from stockholders of tZERO and FG Imperii, regulatory approvals, effectiveness of a Form S-4 registration statement and approval of the NYSE American listing.

S-4 Filing and Stockholder Votes Mark the Path to a TZRO Listing

The next steps are the Form S-4 filing by FG Imperii and the stockholder votes at both companies. The value Neighborhood Intelligence realizes will depend on how its rolled equity in the combined company is valued after listing.
