| Program 1 — Senior Secured Debt (Self-Contained; Not This Offering) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Structure | $250,000,000 senior secured debt with 10% Lender Warrant kicker (exercisable at Liquidity Event only). Financing-only — no LP equity. | Wells 1–15 only |
| Purpose | Secures initial project infrastructure and proves reserves at scale, directly de-risking Program 2 wells 16–115 | Self-contained; no LP obligation |
In early 2026, the Ras Laffan LNG complex in Qatar — the world's single largest helium production site — suffered a significant operational disruption that removed approximately 22% of global helium supply in a matter of weeks. Helium has no strategic reserve, no futures market, and no substitute in its critical applications.
Each well produces co-located hydrogen that qualifies as "green" under DOE pathway analysis. Innov8's embedded liquefaction and electrolysis infrastructure monetizes this co-product stream at $12,000/MT, benefiting from federal IRA incentives and a growing base of industrial offtake demand. The green hydrogen market is projected to grow from ~$3B today to over $100B by 2035 (BloombergNEF), with a 44 million MT/year production deficit projected by 2030.
Innov8 operates on the Pinta Dome formation (Apache County, AZ) — one of the highest-concentration helium deposits in the U.S., contiguous with the Navajo Nation's verified helium fields, with extensive BLM/USGS stratigraphic data:
24 months of multi-jurisdictional legal, tax, and structuring work. Key features:
Innov8 has advanced commercial discussions with Tier-1 industrial gas buyers expressing serious offtake interest at prices at or above the $400/Mcf bear case. Agreements execute at first production.
Specialty industrial gas distributor with Southwestern U.S. distribution infrastructure. Serious offtake interest for high-concentration helium from Pinta Dome production; terms in discussion.
Letters of serious interest from Edelgas (European and North American distribution network) and additional Tier-1 industrial gas partners.
Innov8 Resources has a strategic partnership with TidalNRG, a cooling technology company specializing in helium-based infrastructure for AI and high-performance computing. Key terms:
This partnership positions Innov8 at the intersection of domestic helium supply and the AI infrastructure buildout — a demand vector most helium producers cannot access.
| Pathway | Timeline | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Production Cash Distributions | Months 28–84 (est.) | Three-phase waterfall distributions from Program 2 LLC production revenues, beginning at LP-preferred-return recovery (Phase 1: 38.4% to LPs) |
| Strategic Sale / M&A | Year 5–7 | Sale of Holdco or Program 2 LLC to a major industrial gas company (Air Products, Linde, Air Liquide), energy company, or infrastructure fund. Comparable transactions in specialty gas have traded at 8–14× EBITDA. |
| IPO / Public Markets | Year 5–8 | C-Corp Holdco structure is IPO-ready. Delaware jurisdiction, institutional-quality governance, and GAAP-compliant financial architecture designed for public market transition. |
| Lender Warrant Exercise | At Liquidity Event | Program 1 Lender Warrant (10% of Program 1 LLC) exercisable only at a Liquidity Event — creates alignment incentive for Program 1 senior lenders to facilitate a value-maximizing exit |
Galileo Capital Advisors SA holds three concurrent roles in this transaction: (i) Sponsor GP with 12% Class B equity in Innov8 Holdco SA, (ii) author of the 84-month financial model that underpins the IRR and MOIC projections in this memorandum, and (iii) the entity performing investor KYC/AML at the Subscription Agreement stage. Governance mitigants: financial model assumptions (helium reserve recovery, pricing tiers, flow rates) are sourced to independent third parties (Wyoming Analytical Laboratories; current liquid helium spot indices; DOA v7.3 royalty/ORR terms) and are available for diligence review; KYC/AML supervision falls under Galileo's regulated Swiss financial advisory licensing; Class B equity vests only against verified production milestones, aligning Galileo's incentives with LP outcomes.
Innov8 Resources, Inc. is building domestic helium and green hydrogen supply infrastructure at scale, addressing two of the most structurally undersupplied energy and industrial commodities in the U.S. market.
Arizona (Primary):
Texas (Future Program):
| Sponsor GP | Role |
|---|---|
| Helium Hydrogen Holdings LLC | Sponsor GP — geological and production advisory; 12% Class B |
| Galileo Capital Advisors SA | Sponsor GP — financial modeling and international structuring; 12% Class B |
| Bitkove Management | Sponsor GP — investor relations and capital strategy; 12% Class B |
| Covault Management | Sponsor GP — operations, digital infrastructure, and execution; 12% Class B |
Class B shares vest across 9 well production milestones, with full vest at 35 aggregate wells across Program 1 and Program 2. Wells 1–15 (Program 1) satisfy Milestones 1–7; Wells 16–35 (early Program 2) satisfy Milestones 8–9. This creates a direct economic alignment between Sponsor GP equity realization and LP return delivery.

The Pinta Dome structure in Apache County, AZ is the primary production target for Program 1 and early Program 2 wells — one of the highest-concentration natural helium deposits in the continental U.S., with confirmed concentrations of 3.5%–7.2% by volume at target depth. Shallow to mid-depth production zone with favorable well economics. Reserve certification underway prior to Program 1 first well spud.

Innov8's co-located electrolysis and liquefaction infrastructure transforms each helium well into a dual-commodity production platform. The H₂ co-product is monetized through an embedded infrastructure arrangement — integrated into the Program 2 well development budget from well 1, with no separate CapEx tranche required from LP investors.

The Program 2 distribution waterfall operates at the Holdco SA §6.3 level — it is a contractual commitment of Holdco to Program 2 LP investors, not a hard right embedded in the Program 2 LLC Operating Agreement. Program 2 LLC membership interests are plain pro-rata at the LLC entity level (required by the §1504 80% value test). After debt service, distributions split 52% to the Operator (Gases Corp) and 48% to the LP/GP pool. The LP/GP pool splits 80/20 (38.4% LP / 9.6% GP) during Phase 1 — this LP-favorable split continues until LP capital plus an 8.0% per annum compounded preferred return is fully returned. GPs receive their 9.6% share concurrently during Phase 1; the 8% pref is the hurdle that determines when Phase 1 ends and the GP catch-up (Phase 2) begins.
