Nova Vision has a merger agreement with Real Messenger, a platform for real estate transactions.
The deal consideration has been tweaked several times and now stands at $50 million in stock, up from the $45 million when adjusted last August, though still down by a third from the $75 million cited at deal announcement in March 2023.
The increase to $50 million reflects a private placement of $5 million the parties secured.
