Green Panda Capital Corp. Announces Resignation of President, CEO and Chairman

Founder steps down as SPAC-like vehicle nears highly dilutive reverse takeover of AI infrastructure target.

Executive Summary
  • Green Panda Capital Corp. (GPCC) announced the resignation of Richard Zhou as President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board.
  • Paul Carroll has been appointed as the new President, CEO, and Chairman, effective immediately.
  • Carroll is an independent public market executive with a background as a serial entrepreneur and advisor across iGaming, manufacturing, technology, cannabis, AI, and quantum computing.
  • The leadership transition coincides with the company's pending Qualifying Transaction (QT) to acquire DeepGreenX Group Inc. (DXG), which was announced in May 2026.
Material Impact
  • The resignation of the founder/CEO is a standard procedural step in a reverse takeover or QT structure, particularly when the target company's shareholders are contractually set to control the combined entity.
  • The transaction structure grants DXG shareholders approximately 97% of the post-transaction company, leaving existing GPCC shareholders with only ~3%. This represents a massive dilution event for current holders.
  • Paul Carroll's appointment signals a shift toward an experienced operator to navigate the integration and regulatory approval process, which mitigates some execution risk, but does not alter the fundamental economics of the dilutive QT.
  • Trading has been halted since February 19, 2026, pending TSX-V Policy 2.4 compliance. The leadership change does not immediately lift the halt or guarantee transaction completion.
