DUBLIN, Ireland, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN – Fusion Fuel Green PLC (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTOO#NASDAQ">HTOO</a>) ("Fusion Fuel" or the "Company"), a leading provider of full-service energy engineering and advisory solutions, today announced that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") to acquire 100% of a privately held British fuel distribution company (the "Target").
In the proposed acquisition, the Company will purchase 100% of the outstanding shares of the Target from its shareholders for total consideration valued at £50 million, consisting of £25 million in cash funded through debt financing, £2 million in cash financed from a capital raise, £8 million in the Company's shares subject to a make-whole agreement, and two additional payments of £7.5 million cash each within nine months and 18 months from the closing.
The Target reported over $50 million in revenue and $4 million in net income for the year ending in 2023 and delivered strong growth in 2024, generating over $54 million in revenue and $7 million in net income. The transaction, if consummated, would mark a significant expansion of Fusion Fuel's presence in the energy distribution sector, aligning with the Company's broader strategic objectives.
John-Paul Backwell, Chief Executive Officer of Fusion Fuel, commented: "This proposed transaction reflects our progress in executing our growth strategy, which began with our acquisition of Quality Industrial Corp. late last year. Our short-term priority is to build a synergistic portfolio of profitable and cash-generating businesses across the energy value chain. In addition to significantly increased revenues and profitability, acquiring this United Kingdom-based fuel distribution company would enable us to expand our footprint in the energy distribution space while also broadening our geographic presence into a key new market."
The LOI is non-binding, and consummation of the transaction remains subject to further due diligence, the negotiation of definitive agreements, and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. The Company expects to provide further updates as discussions progress.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

On a year-to-date basis, they lost nearly a staggering $350 billion.
What Happened: Following Trump&#8217;s tariff declaration last Wednesday, the S&amp;P 500 plummeted 11%. This resulted in a significant shrinkage of the equity stakes of the world&#8217;s richest, who had a combined net worth exceeding&nbsp;$2 trillion at the start&nbsp;of 2025. 
As per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, since the tariff announcement on April 2, Elon Musk and Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg saw the maximum decline, with Musk losing $33 billion, while Zuckerberg lost $26 billion. Amazon&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Jeff Bezos saw a decline of $21 billion, while Oracle (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) CEO Larry Ellison witnessed a $20 billion drop in their net worth.
Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, lost $12 billion and $11 billion, each. Former Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) CEOs Bill Gates and Steve Balmer saw their fortune decline by $15 billion and $9 billion, respectively.
Meanwhile, Bernard Arnault, the French billionaire and CEO of the luxury brand LVMH, lost $14 billion of his net worth.
Surprisingly, legendary investor and chief of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>), Warren Buffett&#8217;s net worth also fell by $13 billion since Trump&#8217;s tariff announcement on April 2. However, Buffett maintained a positive net worth year-to-date.
Why It Matters: On Monday, Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44700935/elon-musks-net-worth-dives-below-300-billion-for-the-first-time-since-november-amid-tesla-attacks-an">net worth dipped </a>below $300 billion, a level unseen since the previous year. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index indicated that Musk&#8217;s wealth was $298 billion at Monday&#8217;s market close, marking a reduction of nearly $135 billion, or 31%, since the beginning of the year.
Meanwhile, President Trump&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44706255/trump-loses-500-million-in-personal-wealth-as-his-own-tariff-policy-sparks-sharp-declines-across-his-business-empire">net worth </a>also took a significant hit post the implementation of his extensive new tariffs. Within days, Trump's estimated net worth declined by nearly $600 million, falling from $4.7 billion to $4.1 billion, as per Forbes&#8217; analysis.
President Trump&#8217;s sweeping tariffs, announced on April 2, sparked market turmoil. The next day, stocks endured their worst single-day decline in five years, with the S&amp;P 500 falling nearly 5%, the Dow dropping 1,679 points, and the Nasdaq plummeting 6%.
