Black Swan Graphene to Complete the Acquisition of Québec-Based Injection Molding Specialist FalpacoApril 17, 2026 4:49 PM
NewsfileToronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 17, 2026) - Black Swan Graphene Inc. (TSXV: SWAN) (OTCQX: BSWGF) (FSE: R960) ("Black Swan" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the acquisition of Falpaco Rubber and Plastic Inc. ("Falpaco"), a well-established Québec-based manufacturer specializing in the custom molding of plastic and rubber components, for total consideration of C$12.7 million, on a cash-free debt-free basis, subject to post-closing adjustments (the "Acquisition") pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated March 22, 2026 entered into among Claude Robichaud ("Robichaud"), 9032-3627 Québec Inc., a company wholly-owned by Robichaud, and Fiducie Familiale Robichaud (Robichaud Family Trust), each in his or its capacity as a seller thereunder, Falpaco, the Company and Black Swan Acquisition Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the purchaser thereunder (the "Purchase Agreement"). The Acquisition was funded through a combination of C$4.2 million of Black Swan's available cash on hand, C$6.7 million under a debt financing provided by the Desjardins Group (the "Debt Financing"), and the issuance of 1,800,000 Black Swan common shares at a deemed issuance price of C$1.00 per share. The Black Swan common shares issued in connection with the Acquisition are subject to a four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.Strategic Alignment and Commercial OpportunityThe Acquisition represents a key step in Black Swan's strategy to accelerate the commercialization of graphene products by vertically integrating downstream manufacturing capabilities and moving closer to end customers. By combining Black Swan's proprietary graphene materials and formulation expertise with Falpaco's injection molding know-how, customer relationships, and industrial scale, the Company believes it is uniquely positioned to shorten development cycles and transition more rapidly from product validation to commercial adoption.Falpaco currently generates approximately C$7.4 million in annual sales, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 7% over the past five years, with a demonstrated track record of growth across multiple industrial end markets. The integration of graphene solutions is expected to provide Falpaco with a meaningful competitive advantage, supporting accelerated growth and further increasing its overall value.Falpaco's manufacturing profile is particularly well aligned with Black Swan's product offering, as it predominantly works with polymers in which Black Swan's graphene solutions have demonstrated particularly strong performance benefits. Moreover, Falpaco operates as a value-added partner to its customers, frequently contributing to product design, development, material selection, and performance enhancement, rather than acting solely as a standardized contract manufacturer. This positioning provides a natural pathway for integrating graphene-based enhancements into both existing and future customer products.Located on J.-A. Bombardier Street in the Industrial Park of Granby, approximately 45 minutes southeast of Montréal, Québec, Falpaco employs approximately 45 full-time personnel and serves a diversified base of well-rooted customers across multiple industrial sectors. The company offers a broad range of injection molding services, including bi-injection and overmolding, supported by in-house capabilities in mold design, tooling, and process optimization. Falpaco is recognized for its technical expertise, manufacturing flexibility, and ability to deliver high-quality, customized components tailored to customer specifications across multiple industries."This expansion into downstream manufacturing represents a natural extension of our commercialization strategy. Falpaco brings industrial credibility, close customer relationships, and manufacturing expertise that materially enhance our ability to deploy graphene at scale. We view this as a compelling operational and financial fit, with graphene acting as a catalyst for growth and value creation within an already well-established business. This integrated platform also enables faster iteration and deployment of graphene-enhanced solutions to market by reducing the need for prolonged joint R&D cycles and enhances the Company's ability to engage with larger customers," commented Simon Marcotte, President and Chief Executive Officer of Black Swan."We couldn't be more excited to join Black Swan Graphene. This transaction opens the door for Falpaco and its customers to benefit from advanced graphene-based solutions, while preserving the entrepreneurial and technical culture that has driven our success. We all look forward to working closely with the Black Swan team to bring innovative, high-performance products to market," added Claude Robichaud, President and shareholder of Falpaco. Debt Financing Provided by Desjardins GroupThe Debt Financing consists of a C$4.7 million renewable term loan and a C$2.0 million revolving operating line of credit. The facilities bear interest at Desjardins' prime rate and are secured by Falpaco's business assets, subject to customary financial covenants. Desjardins has been Falpaco's trusted financial partner since its inception and has a deep understanding of its operations, customer base, and industry positioning. The continued support of Desjardins, on standard commercial terms, reflects the strength, stability, and cash-generating profile of Falpaco's business. The financing package provides Black Swan with a solid capital structure to support working capital, ongoing operations, and future growth initiatives.The renewable term loan component of the Debt Financing has a maturity date of April 14, 2027, and is repayable in equal and consecutive monthly instalments of principal based on an amortization period of 84 months, with any remaining outstanding principal, together with accrued interest and other amounts owing, due at maturity. The term loan is subject to an automatic annual renewal feature whereby the maturity date will be extended by an additional one-year period unless, within the prescribed notice period, either party elects not to renew, requests a renewal on different terms, or repayment of the outstanding balance is otherwise required or effected, in each case in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.Loan AgreementIn connection with the Acquisition, the Company and Robichaud, one of the founders and the current President of Falpaco, entered into a loan agreement whereby, among other things, (i) Robichaud granted an unsecured loan of C$1.8 million to the Company at a rate of 8% per annum (the "Loan"), (ii) the Loan will be repayable by the Company in equal monthly instalments over a period of 36 months, (iii) the interest on the Loan will be paid on the 6th, 12th, 18th, 24th, 30th and 36th month following the date of the Loan in arrears, in cash or, at the option of the Company and subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), in Black Swan common shares, such number of shares to be determined on a monthly basis during each such six-month period by dividing the amount of interest owing by the Company by the volume weighted average price of the Black Swan common shares on the Exchange for each such month during such six-month period, subject to, among other things, such price being in compliance with the policies of the Exchange, and (iv) the Company will be entitled to set off any payment of the Loan against any indemnity claims under the Purchase Agreement. The Loan will be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, including integrating Falpaco and its business into the Company's operations.Additional DisclosuresIn connection with the Acquisition, Falpaco and Robichaud entered into a new employment agreement. None of the sellers of Falpaco is not at arm's length with the Company. No finder's fee was paid in connection with the Acquisition.
