GoGo AI Network Inc. and Algo8 Industrial AI Inc. Announce Definitive Arrangement Agreement to Spin Out Full-Stack Industrial AI Platform to Public Markets
Micro‑cap investment firm spin‑out unlocks direct stake in Algo8, valued at C$60M, while legacy GoGo may become a cash shell.
Executive Summary
- GoGo AI Network Inc. has entered a definitive arrangement agreement to spin out its core holding, Algo8 Industrial AI Inc., into a new publicly listed entity (Spin Co / Resulting Issuer) on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
- GoGo shareholders will retain all existing GoGo shares and receive 0.25 Spin Co share for each GoGo share held — effectively a pro‑rata distribution of a ~32.4% stake in the future Algo8‑carrying company.
- The transaction follows the April 2026 strategic investment in Algo8 by Chemelex LLC (a Brookfield subsidiary) at a C$60 million pre‑money valuation, and combines a ~$5 million total cash position (~$1.5 million to be contributed from GoGo, ~$3.5 million already held by Algo8).
- Conditions include 66⅔% shareholder approval from both companies, court and regulatory sign‑offs, CSE listing acceptance; expected closing in Q3 2026. Lock‑ups on founder and non‑founder shares will apply post‑listing.
- GoGo’s President, Brandon Kou, will move to the Resulting Issuer as President and director; GoGo’s existing business will retain its public listing but will no longer own Algo8.
Material Impact
- The spin‑out provides a direct, liquid market valuation for Algo8. Based on the Chemelex‑led pre‑money valuation of C$60 million, the implied value of the Go‑forward 32.4% stake is approximately C$19.4 million, exceeding GoGo’s current total market capitalization of ~C$16.86 million.
- Because GoGo is an illiquid micro‑cap investment holding company, the market has likely discounted the Algo8 asset. The definitive agreement to list Algo8 separately should reduce that conglomerate discount and unlock value.
- The transaction does not alter the underlying economic interest in Algo8, but it makes that interest tradeable directly. Coupled with the cash injection from Chemelex/Brookfield, it strengthens Algo8’s balance sheet and credibility.
- GoGo itself will lose its main operating asset and retain only the residual cash/assets after contributing $1.5 million to the Resulting Issuer. This may leave GoGo as a near‑empty shell, shifting the investment case entirely to the Spin Co shares.

Company Overview
- GoGo AI Network Inc. is a publicly listed investment issuer focused on artificial intelligence companies. Its primary asset has been Algo8 Industrial AI, which provides an AI‑driven decision‑support platform (PlantBrain™) for large industrial manufacturers.
- Algo8 had validated its technology with a $4 million multi‑plant contract with a global tire maker (Jan 2026) and a deployment for an Indian steel group (Feb 2026). The April 2026 strategic investment by Brookfield’s Chemelex at a C$60 million pre‑money valuation signalled strong external confidence.
- GoGo itself generates negligible operating income and functions essentially as a listed holding vehicle. Its equity value resides almost entirely in the Algo8 stake; after the spin‑out, GoGo will no longer hold Algo8 and will have minimal remaining assets.
