DevvStream (Nasdaq: DEVS) ends prior Southern deal but keeps XCF business combination plan
DevvStream Corp. announced the termination of its prior merger agreement with Southern Energy Renewables, which occurred automatically without ongoing liabilities for either party. The company is now focusing on a broader business combination with XCF Global and Southern under an existing Business Combination Agreement. This new plan targets significant milestones including over $1 billion in annualized fuel product revenues and $100 million in EBITDA, aiming for a $3 billion combined enterprise, though subject to substantial closing conditions and risks.
