Bannix Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:BNIX) announced this morning that it has entered into a binding letter of intent to combine with autonomous vehicle company EVIE at a proposed enterprise value of $542.5 million.

Staffordshire, UK-based EVIE’s pod-shaped autonomous vehicles have transported about 6.3 million people at London’s Heathrow Airport and logged about 5.5 million kilometers (3.4 million miles) in commercial service

EVIE is required to pay Bannix £130,000 ($161,245) in a promissory note on April 19 and a further £70,000 ($86,820) on May 12. If the parties get a DA signed, then EVIE is to provide notes for £150,000 ($186,115) on July 30 and up to £400,000 ($496,300) more to meet other working capital requirements

Bannix currently has about $30.5 million in its trust. If it were to face no further redemptions, these shares combined with the sponsor’s 2,524,000 promote shares would represent a 9.2% stake in the combined company under the proposed LOI structure.

EVIE shareholders would meanwhile be issued 50,000,000 shares as consideration, and its acquisition target GTCH(Apollo)would receive 4,250,000 shares for stakes of 83.7% and 7.1%, respectively.
