KEY ANNOUNCEMENTS
Blackpearl Group (BPG) has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire 100% of B2B Rocket Inc, a US-based AI sales automation company with approximately US$2.1m in annual recurring revenue. The acquisition, expected to complete in August 2025, involves a US$4m cash payment and 1.725m BPG shares, plus up to US$8m in performance-based payments over five years. Blackpearl sees strong synergy with its Pearl Diver and Bebop platforms, and plans to integrate its proprietary data engine to accelerate B2B Rocket’s growth. The acquisition is subject to customary conditions, including BPG obtaining ASX quotation, with funding options under evaluation.
Channel Infrastructure (CHI, #33) has provided an update on its biorefinery partnership with Seadra Energy and consortium members including Qantas and ANZ. The consortium has completed its initial FEED study and is progressing to the next phase, focusing on plant configuration, commercial contracts, consents, and financing. A final investment decision is now expected in 2026 due to project complexity. Channel says the biorefinery could restore fuel manufacturing at Marsden Point, create skilled jobs, and enhance fuel security through domestic biofuel production. If approved, proceeds from asset sales may be reinvested into demolition and infrastructure to support the project, targeting long-term contracted returns.
