ALPHARETTA, Ga. --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FLUX Carbon Corporation (FCC) today announced the completion of a series of transactions pursuant to which it acquired majority equity stakes in Bitzio, Inc. (OTCQB: BTZO) and GreenShift Corporation (OTCQB: GERS ).
The transactions additionally involved the completion by Bitzio of $2.9 million in conventional debt financing, the acquisition by Bitzio of 80% of GreenShift , and the satisfaction and elimination by GreenShift of about $14 million in debt.
FCC and GreenShift have assembled a portfolio of intellectual properties with application potential in three sectors: agriculture, energy, and lifestyle. The technologies cover renewable fuels and chemicals, solar energy and fuels, energy and chemical detection, cannabinoid extraction, wearables and consumer products, among others. The recent transactions are part of FCCs broader plan to bring those technologies to market.

The recently completed transactions were structured to eliminate the majority of the combined companys convertible debt and the associated overhang, said Marilu Brassington , Bitzios Chief Financial Officer. That overhang has impeded the financing and growth of each company and many of our technologies for years. We are very excited to have eliminated the bulk of it on terms that are favorable to our shareholders, and we are evaluating additional transactions to eliminate the balance of the combined companys debt and overhang as quickly as possible.
Additional information on the recently completed transactions is available online in Current Reports on Form 8K filed by both Bitzio and GreenShift on January 26, 2016 .
