Fourth Wave Energy Inc. Signs Merger Agreement to Acquire EdgeMode

The company announced yesterday that it had been successful in executing an agreement by way of which it would acquire EdgeMode in a reverse triangular merger deal. While it was a significant announcement from the company, it did not lead to any particular optimism among investors and the Fourth Wave stock suffered from a major selloff.

However, it may be a good idea to take a look at how the acquisition might help the company.

Fourth Wave Energy impressed us with their professionalism and the added value of the capital raise that is currently underway as part of the merger process” stated Charlie Faulkner, current CEO of EdgeMode.
