Abundia completed the related-party purchase of RPD Technologies America from its controlling shareholder, Abundia Financial, for $4.04 million, paid entirely via a one-year, 10%-interest senior secured convertible note (convertible at 80% of VWAP, floor $0.29/share) -- the deal flagged as pending back in December 2025.

Abundia raised a further $20.0 million via shares and pre-funded warrants sold directly to an institutional investor, its largest capital raise yet as it scales up the Baytown plastics-to-fuel plant.
Abundia restated its Q3 2025 financials: a $12.4 million stock success fee paid to Univest Securities for arranging the reverse merger had been disclosed in a footnote but left out of the actual general-and-administrative expense line, understating the reported net loss (no effect on cash flow).
Abundia disclosed its subsidiary's existing 2021 technology license from Alterra Energy for plastics-to-liquids conversion technology (recently amended), and announced advanced, related-party negotiations to buy RPD Technologies America from its own controlling shareholder, Abundia Financial -- expected to close in Q1 2026.

Post-merger Abundia raised $8.0 million in a registered direct offering, selling 2.3 million shares at $3.50, funding the buildout of its plastics-to-fuel plant.
What it means for a shareholder
2.3m new shares at US$3.50 to raise about US$8.0m. That's 6.2% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 6.2% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (286 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.000825% to 0.000774% of the company. To keep it you'd need 19 more shares - about US$67 at the issue price.
Reflecting reverse-merger accounting (AGIG is treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes even though Houston American was the surviving legal entity), the company dismissed both predecessor auditors -- Baker Tilly (AGIG's) and Marcum/CBIZ (Houston American's) -- to consolidate onto a single audit going forward; both had flagged internal-control material weaknesses.

The newly-merged company financed its next phase: a $5.43 million senior secured convertible note (7% interest, 8% original issue discount, due July 2026) and a $100 million committed equity line of credit, using the note proceeds to buy a 25-acre site in Baytown, Texas's Cedar Port Industrial Park for $8.5 million -- the physical site for Abundia's planned plastics-to-fuel operations.
The reverse merger closed: Abundia Financial and Bower Family Holdings exchanged all their Abundia Global Impact Group units for 94% of Houston American's common stock (Abundia Financial ending up holding 84.6% directly), at an implied equity value the filing put at roughly $331 million. CEO/CFO Peter Longo stepped down to Chairman only, and AGIG co-founder Edward Gillespie became the new CEO -- Houston American Energy Corp had become the public vehicle for Abundia's business.
Houston American and the owners of Abundia Global Impact Group (Abundia Financial and Bower Family Holdings) amended their Share Exchange Agreement -- adjusting the share-exchange formula to account for a future equity incentive plan and pushing the closing deadline to July 31, 2025.
Houston American raised about $2.37 million in a registered direct offering of shares/prefunded warrants at $10.60/share -- bridge funding through the pending Abundia merger; a separately-discussed equity line of credit was not executed at this time.
Houston American sold its remaining 18% interest in Hupecol Meta -- its last Colombian oil and gas asset -- to Andes Operating Company for $1, confirming the $6.4 million impairment already booked against that investment in the FY2024 10-K. The Colombian E&P business that had defined the company since 2003 was wound down just as the pivot to Abundia was getting underway.

Houston American signed the share exchange agreement to be acquired by Abundia Global Impact Group, LLC via reverse merger, with AGIG's owners set to receive 94% of the combined company -- the deal that closed five months later and turned the oil & gas company into a plastics-to-liquids business.
Houston American raised about $4.42 million in a registered direct offering of 2.6 million shares at $1.70/share -- still operating as the legacy Colombia/Permian oil and gas company at this point, just weeks before it would sign the agreement to reverse-merge with Abundia Global Impact Group.
NYSE American warned Houston American that its stock price had been too low for too long and it must reverse split or demonstrate sustained price improvement by April 2020 to keep its listing -- a fresh listing-standards deadline after years of equity-related warnings.
Houston American's own CEO and principal shareholder, James Schoonover, personally bridge-loaned the company $621,052 (at a $590,000 discount) at 12% interest -- insider financing signaling the company could no longer raise from outside lenders on comparable terms.
Auditor GBH CPAs' practice merged into Marcum LLP; Marcum was engaged as Houston American's successor auditor -- an administrative continuity change, not a dismissal for cause.
Houston American set up a $5 million at-the-market equity sales facility with WestPark Capital -- an ongoing, as-needed dilutive financing tool it would keep renewing over the following years as its equity struggles continued.
Houston American took on a $600,000 bridge loan at 12% interest, sold at a discount for $570,000 with warrants attached -- another sign of the tightening cash position behind the year's preferred-stock raises.
Houston American raised another $0.9 million via 12%-dividend Series B convertible preferred stock and warrants, continuing the same high-cost financing pattern as the Series A raise three months earlier.
Houston American's listing troubles deepened: stockholders' equity had fallen further to $2.86 million as of year-end 2016, now violating both the $6 million and a separate $4 million equity threshold, though the stock stayed listed under its existing compliance plan through September 2017.
