TPGY Stock: The Best Way To Test Your Patience Level - YouTube

Do you know that feeling when you're watching  a very boring movie for like two hours and  
[4]
you finally think it's going to end soon and  then you check the time and you realize you're  
[8]
only halfway through the entire freaking movie?  Welcome to the story of TPGY merging with evbox.  
[15]
Today we're going to talk about the new sec  filing, we're going to talk about the reasons for  
[19]
the delay and then i'm going to give you my  opinion about the future of the stock price  
[24]
so let's go. Because your patience has been tested  so much and will continue to be tested for a few  
[29]
months probably i'm going to add some pictures  of cute kittens every now and then this is the  
[34]
first one of a kitten that just read through  the new SEC filing and discovered the deadline  
[39]
has been extended again because yes the outside  day the deadline for this merger between TPGY  
[44]
and EVbox has been extended from august 6 until  december 31st of 2021. This is way more than i  
[53]
anticipated. I thought this might take a few weeks  more or potentially one month more but definitely  
[58]
not like four months more and in the sec filing we  notice that it might take even a little bit longer  
[64]
because here we can read that TPGY and Engie  seller which is the parent company of evbox expect  
[70]
to work toward completing the business combination  in late 2021 or during the first half of 2022. So  
[78]
why do we need this extension? Well we are seeing  a continued delay in the delivery of the audited  
[85]
financial statements for evbox group and with  regards to those financial statements we're not  
[90]
just talking any more about only the year 2020  but right now we apparently also need the interim  
[97]
unaudited financial statements for the first half  of this year 2021 so the six months ended june  
[104]
30th of 2021 and to top it off we might also need  to restate the financial statements for EVbox for  
[111]
the year 2019 because right here it says that the  existing audited financial statements of evbox for  
[118]
the year ended december 31st of 2019 might require  restatement before they can actually complete the  
[126]
audited financial statements for the year 2020.  So it's quite insane the things we need. We need  
[131]
maybe a restatement of 2019 we need the full  year of 2020 and we need the first half of 2021  
[140]
and because of this entire horror show what we are  seeing right now is that TPGY does not consider  
[146]
the previously released financial and operating  guidance for EVbox group for future periods to  
[151]
be reliable indicators of evbox groups expected  future financial performance so basically that  
[158]
means that because of all those restatements and  maybe all of those audits need to be restated.  
[163]
We don't really know if the guidance that we  received in investor presentations for example  
[168]
is actually correct or not. It could be entirely  different and we might even be looking at a  
[174]
revised business plan and a revised financial  forecast for ev box group so what are some of  
[181]
the potential reasons for this delay? Well first  of all according to Vihar which had a pretty solid  
[186]
comment one day ago Engie has a new ceo since  the beginning of this year. Engie is the parent  
[192]
company of evbox so Engie is going to sell evbox  to TPGY hopefully at some point in the future  
[198]
if we still are alive and yeah that could be  the case that the new ceo of Engie wants a  
[203]
better deal for selling ev box. It could  also be the case that well the French  
[208]
government has a stake in Engie and there  might be some regulation issues over here  
[213]
and of course keep in mind that Engie is a  european company, TPGY is an american company.  
[218]
American companies need to comply with certain  regulations for example GAAP accounting principles  
[224]
and Engie isn't really used to complying to these  with these GAAP accounting principles so that  
[230]
could be quite difficult for sure and of course  keep in mind again evbox is a part of Engie.  
[236]
It might be a little bit difficult to carve out  ... to carve out evbox out of Engie of course but  
[242]
yeah are these solid reasons for this taking  so so long. I'm not entirely sure about that.  
[247]
It just looks like someone is royally screwing  things up. Now hopefully i'm going to be able  
[252]
to get an interview with the ceo of evbox in a  couple of years and we can just laugh about the  
[256]
entire situation. Now what might happen if the  deal is not going to go through? Well one of  
[261]
the things that is going to happen is that evbox  or actually Engie will need to pay quite a bit  
[266]
of money 12 million euros if there is no deal for  any reason by any party so also if TPGY says we're  
[273]
not going to have this deal anymore then evbox or  actually Engie is going to have to pay 12 million  
[279]
euros. Now this could be even increased to  15 million euros so 3 million euros extra  
[285]
if the company Engie of course evbox is not going  to be able to deliver their financial statements  
[292]
before october 22nd and that combined with no  deal at the end. To soften the blow a little  
[299]
bit here's a kitten that's representing the TPGY  investors feeling a little bit stuck right now  
[304]
or at least the retail investors like you and me  because it looks like the institutional investors  
[310]
are getting the opportunity to abandon the ship  because in one of the sec filings we can also read  
[316]
that the investors in the private placements are  going to be released from their obligations. Now  
[322]
my interpretation of this is as follows that the  institutional investors or the PIPE investors  
[328]
don't really need to keep their shares in lock-up  anymore and they can sell their shares whenever  
[332]
they want. Now the question is whether they are  going to do so or not. Apart from that these  
[337]
institutional investors bought their shares for  $10 per share. Now i'm not entirely sure if they  
[342]
can now sell their shares for $11 which is more  or less the price of TPGY right now or just for  
[348]
$10. Now it's probably going to be the latter  so i think that if the PIPE investors if the  
[354]
institutional investors want to sell their shares  then they probably will have to do so for $10  
[359]
per share. Now in total we're talking about quite  a bit of money 325 million dollars actually that  
[365]
could be potentially sold by these institutional  investors by these PIPE investors so you have 100  
[372]
million from forward purchase agreements  and also 225 million from PIPE investors  
[377]
so if that happens if all of the institutions  are going to sell their shares then i believe  
[382]
TPGY can look for new institutional investors that  want to invest up to 325 million dollars in total.  
[390]
Now i believe the worst worst worst case scenario  is that everyone sells their shares so 325 million  
[396]
dollars in shares, TPGY cannot find any new  institutional investors and then they potentially  
[403]
would have 325 million dollars less in cash. Now  i'm not entirely sure what TPGY would do in that  
[410]
case. Maybe they're going to sell more shares to  retail investors like you and me but honestly i  
[415]
don't really have any idea what would happen in  such a situation. So just like many many people  
[419]
in the comment section and my email inbox actually  you might wonder okay this is all very confusing.  
[425]
What should i do right now? Am i just going  to jump ship just like this cute kitten wants  
[430]
to do and just sell my shares for a loss? Well of  course i can't decide for you. You always need to  
[435]
make your own decision based on the information  that you have but i am going to tell you what i  
[440]
am going to do. So what am i going to do exactly?  Well i kind of agree with this comment over here  
[444]
that if they were not aiming to close the deal why  would they actually postpone because rationality  
[450]
says they would have cut of a deal by now if  they didn't think it was actually feasible and  
[455]
i would want to add to that yeah why would they  extend the deadline again? Why would they invest  
[460]
more time and more money in the next couple of  months? Why would they offer new PIPE investment  
[465]
opportunities? It really looks like both parties  still really want to close the deal so that is why  
[470]
i still believe that it is more likely that we  are going to see a merger than that we are not  
[476]
going to see a merger. If i would have to put  a percentage on that i think it's about like 75  
[481]
percent likely that we will still see a merger  whether it's going to be in december or like  
[485]
the first half of 2022 and like 25% that we're  not going to see a merger. Now of course there  
[491]
is an opportunity cost right now because i could  of course sell my shares and use the money for  
[496]
something else during the next couple of months  because i think that the stock is likely going  
[500]
to stay trading because between $10 and $11 per  share for the next couple of months. It's likely  
[506]
going to take a few months before we're actually  going to get definitive news about the merger  
[512]
but personally i'm not going to do so. I'm not  going to sell my shares. I've been waiting this  
[516]
long and i'm just going to wait a few more months  but i can definitely understand if you would sell  
[521]
your shares right now and put the money somewhere  else for just a little while for a few weeks or a  
[525]
few months. It's just yeah super annoying and  they are really really testing our patience so  
[530]
that's the latest update about TPGY. Now if you  haven't watched my latest video about TPGY which  
[535]
i released last week definitely do so. It's right  over here. It contains a little bit of additional  
[540]
fundamental analysis about evbox so definitely  check it out of course and if you have already  
[545]
done so then maybe check out my mission which is  right over here and with that being said thank  
[549]
you very much for taking the time to watch this  video and i hope to see you in the next one. Bye!
