(“Green Star Royalties”), is pleased to announce the execution of a definitive royalty purchase agreement and gross revenue royalty agreement with MOBISMART Mobile Off-Grid Power & Storage Inc. (“MOBISMART”) to acquire a 2.5% gross revenue royalty (the “Royalty”) on all current and future gross revenues and any potential business divestment revenues generated by MOBISMART for a total consideration of C$300,000 in cash.

Investment Highlights

• Operating business in Canada: MOBISMART is a private, operating company headquartered in Toronto, Canada, that specializes in mobile solar power generation systems with integrated battery storage. 

• Reduces reliance on diesel for net zero objectives: MOBISMART’s integrated product offering includes mobile solar power trailers and containers with leading-edge power electronics and remote monitoring. MOBISMART delivers to a wide range of power generation requirements while reducing the need for traditional diesel power generation and its associated CO emissions. 

• Versatile product application: MOBISMART’s product lineup can be deployed virtually anywhere, including construction sites, disaster relief situations, military operations, mining camps, as well as at telecom towers and 5G infrastructure in urban, rural and remote locations. 

• Innovative power solutions: Additional high-growth areas include integrated power solutions for solar conversion of refrigeration vehicle fleets, e-fleet fast-charging stations and vertical axis wind turbines. 

• Key relationships: MOBISMART benefits from working relationships with industry leaders such as Siemens AG, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., Sono Motors GmbH, Victron Energy B.V., and Schneider Electric SE. 

Alex Pernin, Chief Executive Officer of Star Royalties, commented: "We are proud to be supporting a greener future by investing in local and high-growth technology company, MOBISMART. Their products reduce or offset CO2 emissions in environmentally-sensitive areas by displacing diesel usage, which alone is a C$70 billion global market. In addition, their innovative business model is well positioned for high-growth sectors such as integrated power solutions, solar conversion of refrigeration vehicles and e-fleet fast-charging stations. The C$10 million royalty buyback provision reflects this growth potential. This green investment represents near-term cash flow from a top-tier jurisdiction, and we look forward to MOBISMART growing rapidly into a major off-grid power technology company across various industries and sectors.”
