Charge Enterprises Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire BW Electrical Services LLC to Expand Its Infrastructure Division

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 23, 2021 / Charge Enterprises Inc. (OTC PINK:CRGE), ("Charge"), consisting of a portfolio of global businesses with the vision of connecting people everywhere with communications and electric-vehicle charging ("EV") infrastructure, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire BW Electrical Services LLC ("BWES"), an electrical contracting services firm specializing in commercial projects with a focus on ground-up construction.

The acquisition agreement provides that Charge will acquire all of the equity intersts in BWES for $18 million of cash and Charge common stock.

Founded in 2006, BWES is an industry leader in the state of New Jersey for design-build, electrical installations. BWES has captured a niche market, providing electrical contracting and telecommunications services to the New Jersey commercial and industrial construction market to support communities and deliver ground-up construction projects. Due to their reputable process-driven expertise in electrical installations, BWES has been entrusted with high-profile projects such as the New Jersey State House restoration, and esteemed academic institutions including Rutgers University, and the New Jersey K-12 school system.

This acquisition is expected to broaden Charge's infrastructure offering by utilizing BWES's master electricians, its proven standardized processes and its established commercial expertise in EV charging infrastructure. The combination exemplifies Charge's strategy to make EV charging more accessible to a wider population, thereby reducing perceived range anxiety as passenger transportation moves towards reducing harmful carbon emissions.

"This is an exciting time for Charge Enterprises. The BWES's acquisition adds scale to Charge's EV charging infrastructure deployment by boosting our number of qualified master electricians and adding greater value, expertise and greater bandwidth to serve our growing client portfolio," said Andrew Fox, Chairman and CEO of Charge. "We look forward to continuing the charge forward with BWES to fulfill the tremendous demand for EV charging infrastructure across the nation as we work towards meeting the demands of the electrification revolution."

"Charge's business ethos closely aligns with the way BWES has always approached business, with an emphasis on reliability and fairness, making this an especially exciting opportunity for us," said Michael Wojtowicz, Founder and CEO of BWES. "There isn't a project in our future that has provisions for new parking that doesn't have an EV charging ecosystem integrated in forward planning, and joining with Charge will help satisfy this pent-up demand for EV charging infrastructure as the country moves into the next phase of the EV revolution."

The anticipated close of the acquisition is on or about December 27, 2021.
