At closing, Ekso will operate as the parent of the combined company and will change its name to ChronoScale Company. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati is advising Ekso on the transaction.
Under the terms of the agreement, Applied Digital will contribute all of its right, title, and interest in and to 1,200 shares of the common stock of Cloud to Ekso in exchange for 138,216,820 newly issued shares of Ekso’s common stock.
