SKYX signs merger agreement to acquire Deako for 25 million shares and cash
SKYX Platforms signed a merger agreement on September 9, 2026, under which Deako, a Seattle-based AI smart home and lighting systems company, will become a wholly owned subsidiary. SKYX will issue 25,000,000 shares, or 18.46% of its outstanding common stock, plus $4 million in cash and $8.5 million in senior secured notes to Deako's senior lenders, and closing requires Deako securityholder approval. The filing does not include SKYX or Deako financial results beyond a press release statement that Deako had over $26 million in 2025 revenue, so shareholders face dilution and new debt without a stated effect on SKYX's profit.
Key points
- Consideration: 25,000,000 common shares (18.46% of outstanding), with a 12-month lock-up and releases of 25% each at 12, 15, 18 and 21 months after closing, held in escrow for Deako's senior lenders.
- Cash: $4 million total, of which $2 million was paid at signing and $2 million is due at closing.
- Notes: $8.5 million senior secured promissory notes at 12.0% per annum; $2.25 million due 120 days after closing and the remainder due on the 12-month anniversary of closing.
- Termination right if closing conditions are not met or waived by October 31, 2026; closing also requires Deako securityholder approval.
