Xeriant (OTCQB: XERI) announced on [date not provided] that it has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with UAV Corp. (OTCPK: UMAV) to explore a potential merger or acquisition. The agreement also includes opportunities to integrate Xeriant’s advanced materials technologies into UAV’s lighter-than-air airships and drone platforms. The proposed combination would unite capabilities in advanced materials, quantum AI, hybrid propulsion and unmanned aerial systems, with the long-term goal of pursuing an uplisting to Nasdaq or the NYSE.
The MOU signals a strategic move for both companies, as Xeriant seeks to expand the application of its DUREVER™ branded advanced materials, including NEXBOARD™, an eco-friendly, patent-pending composite construction panel made from plastic and fiber waste. This material is designed to replace traditional construction products such as drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, and MgO board. By integrating these materials into UAV Corp.'s airships and drones, Xeriant could open new markets for its products while enhancing the performance and sustainability of UAV's platforms.
For UAV Corp., which specializes in lighter-than-air systems and unmanned aerial vehicles, the merger could provide access to cutting-edge materials that improve structural integrity, reduce weight, and offer environmental benefits. Additionally, the collaboration may accelerate development of hybrid propulsion systems and quantum AI applications, potentially leading to more efficient and capable aerial platforms.
The companies have not disclosed specific terms of the potential transaction, but the MOU lays the groundwork for due diligence and negotiations. The long-term ambition of uplisting to a major exchange like Nasdaq or the NYSE suggests that the combined entity would aim for greater visibility and access to capital markets. This could attract institutional investors and provide liquidity for current shareholders.
The announcement comes at a time when the unmanned aerial systems market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by demand for surveillance, cargo delivery, and environmental monitoring. Lighter-than-air vehicles, in particular, offer advantages in endurance and payload capacity, making them suitable for a variety of commercial and defense applications. Xeriant’s advanced materials could enhance these capabilities while aligning with sustainability trends.
