Analysis · MACI · Trade & Services
The definitive proxy statement for the Everli merger has been mailed, scheduling a shareholder vote for October 22, 2026. It confirms the $180 million merger consideration, a dual-class structure that hands Everli's Palella Holdings 92% voting control, and a minimum cash condition of $10 million. The proxy also reveals that Everli is in default on $9.7 million of debt, has a $5.635 million loan past due, and faces a €22.6 million labor claim from Italian regulators. For Everli, which carries a going concern warning and only $1.1 million in cash, the merger is a lifeline—but it comes at the cost of substantial dilution for Melar's public shareholders, who will own just 14% of the combined company economically and 2% of the voting power.
