ASP Isotopes Inc. has announced that its proposed offer to acquire all of the issued ordinary shares of JSE-listed Renergen Limited has been approved by the Competition Commission of South Africa as of July 23, 2025, subject to certain conditions. The transaction is expected to be highly accretive to ASP Isotopes' revenue, EBITDA, earnings per share, and cash flow per share starting from 2026. The goal of the combined group is to generate over $300 million in EBITDA in 2030.

Renergen is focused on the production of liquefied helium (LHE) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) and is funded by the United States government given helium's strategic significance. The combination of Renergen and ASP Isotopes aims to create a global leader in the production of critical and strategically important materials, including electronic gases such as helium, various fluorinated products, and isotopically enriched gases.

ASP Isotopes is dedicated to the development of technology and processes to produce isotopes for use in multiple industries. The company employs proprietary technology, the aerodynamic separation process (ASP technology), and has isotope enrichment facilities in Pretoria, South Africa, dedicated to the enrichment of isotopes of elements with a low atomic mass.

The press release states that the transaction is subject to various regulatory approvals and third-party consents and is expected to become effective in the third quarter of 2025 if all remaining conditions are fulfilled or waived.

The company aims to generate over $300 million in EBITDA in 2030, driven by a mix of isotopes, helium, and LNG sales into the South African energy market, based on management's current estimates, expectations, and assumptions regarding the execution of ASP Isotopes' and Renergen's business strategies.

The combination of Renergen and ASP Isotopes is expected to create a vertically and horizontally integrated supply chain with significant geographic and customer overlap, with substantial synergies expected from 2026. Following these announcements, the company's shares moved 9.58%, and are now trading at a price of $10.585. For the full picture, make sure to review ASP Isotopes's 8-K report.
