EX-99.1 2 file2.htm PRESS RELEASE Allied Healthcare International Inc. Divests Respiratory Therapy Division for $74.7 Million Company Sets Course to Focus on Flexible Staffing and Homecare Services NEW YORK--October 1, 2007-Allied Healthcare International Inc. (NASDAQ: AHCI - News ), (AIM: AHI), a leading provider of healthcare staffing in the United Kingdom, announces the sale of its subsidiaries, Allied Respiratory Ltd. and Medigas Ltd., to Air Liquide Group (Paris: AI - News ), a world leader in industrial and medical gases and related services, for approximately $74.7 million in cash. Allied Respiratory provides unified oxygen services including concentrators directly to customers in the South East of England and Northern Ireland as well as cylinder gases in Scotland. The consideration is denominated in sterling and consists of an initial consideration of GBP 36.5 million with GBP 500,000 held back until certain conditions are met. "As we move forward, Allied will continue to concentrate its efforts on expanding the Company's significant UK branch network, which provides Homecare Services and Flexible Staffing to local governments and Primary Care Trusts", commented Sarah L. Eames, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Chairman. "Allied is committed to providing a full spectrum of disease state management programs to sustain patient independence and mobility in the home. The Company has vetted and trained carers, nurses, and case managers, and develops individual care plans to meet the ever-changing patient requirements outside of the hospital setting. We are fully prepared to move forward with our mission to increase Allied's market share in the growing UK homecare services market". David Moffatt, Allied Healthcare Chief Financial Officer, commented: "Allied will utilize the proceeds from the transaction to pay down debt and invest in information technology that will enable the company to more efficiently partner with local governments in patient care management. We are optimistic about the growing market potential that exists in the UK, and look forward to moving ahead with a significantly strengthened balance sheet".

EX-99.1 4 a05-12372_1ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Think Partnership Acquires Real Estate School Online Inc. Accretive Merger Expected to Add Over $1.6 Million Annually to the Company's Pre-Tax Income NORTHBROOK, Ill. - July 18, 2005 - In a move that will make CGI Holding Corporation d/b/a Think Partnership Inc. (AMEX: THK ; "Company") a major player in the growing field of online education, the Company today announced that it has closed its acquisition of Real Estate School Online Inc. ("Real Estate School Online"). Located in Miami, Fla., Real Estate School Online is a leading provider of online education products and services specializing in delivery of fully accredited real estate licensing and continuing education courses. Already an industry leader in Florida, Real Estate School Online has begun expanding its services to other states. Perry Johannesburg, the president of Real Estate School Online, will continue to serve in that capacity following the merger. The Company has acquired all of the stock of Real Estate School Online in exchange for $2.2 million in cash and CGI common stock with an aggregate value of $2.2 million. Former shareholders of Real Estate School Online will also be entitled to a one-time cash payment of up to $500,000 if the pre-tax earnings of Real Estate School Online exceed specified targets during the first twelve full calendar quarters following the closing. The merger is expected to be immediately accretive to the earnings of Think Partnership. Gerard M. Jacobs, the Company's CEO, stated, "Real Estate School Online is a growing and highly profitable company with a very scalable business model. While we plan to expand the Real Estate School Online services to other states, we expect Real Estate School Online to realize over $1.6 million of pre-tax income over the next twelve months without the benefit of our expansion plans or the leverage that the marketing power of other Think subsidiaries will provide. Perry Johannesburg is a very smart entrepreneur who is a great fit for our growing partnership". Scott Mitchell, the CEO of the Company's Cherish subsidiary, added, "This merger is very much in line with Think Partnership's strategy of bringing onboard companies that demonstrate consistent, strong performance and that offer unique approaches to online services. Perry Johannesburg's vision and leadership will serve as great assets to the parent company and help assure continued growth and profitability". "Real Estate School Online has experienced tremendous growth of late and will one day have a national presence", said Perry Johannesburg, president of Real Estate School Online. "Realizing synergies with the many Think Partnership companies will position us well to make that reality happen sooner than if we were going it alone. We fielded purchase offers from many suitors, but in the end Think Partnership was the best fit in terms of scope, expertise and complementary services". The Company has begun doing business under the name "Think Partnership Inc." and will seek formal shareholder approval to change its legal name to Think Partnership Inc. later in 2005. The Company is based in Northbrook, Ill. (see www.thinkpartnership.com) and currently has nine subsidiaries: WebSourced, Inc., Morrisville, N.C., a leader in search engine optimization and pay-per-click campaign management (see www.websourced.com and www.keywordranking.com); MarketSmart Advertising, Inc., Rightstuff, Inc. d/b/a Bright Idea Studios, and Checkup Marketing, Inc., Raleigh, N.C., providing world-class off-line advertising, public relations, marketing, branding and shopping evaluation services (see www.marketsmart.net, www.brightideastudios.com and www.checkupmarketing.com); Cherish, Inc., Clearwater, Fla., a leading online dating company (see www.cherish.com); Ozona Online Network, Inc., Clearwater, Fla., providing a comprehensive scope of online services including start to finish web design, custom web based applications, database systems, managed and shared hosting solutions, e-commerce, and high-speed business Internet access (see www.ozline.net); KowaBunga! Marketing, Inc., Westland, Mich., providing Internet marketing software technologies, including software for affiliate marketing, search engine marketing and opt-in email marketing (see www.kowabunga.com); PrimaryAds Inc., North Plainfield, NJ, a leading provider of affiliate marketing services that connects website publishers with online advertisers (see www.PrimaryAds.com); and Real Estate School Online Inc., Miami, Fla., a leader in online education (see www.RealEstateSchoolOnline.com). The Company has also entered into an agreement to merge with privately-held Meandaur, Inc. d/b/a Proceed Interactive, a full service marketing and communications agency with a core competency in search marketing, which has offices in Chicago, Ill., Dallas, Texas and Los Angeles, Calif. (see www.proceedinteractive.com); and has signed letters of intent to acquire: Vintacom Media Group Inc., Edmonton, Alberta Canada, a leading online dating company (see www.Vintacom.com); and Morex Marketing Group LLC, a New York-based limited liability company and parent company of Internet Web site www.babytobee.com.

EX-99.1 4 v364039_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Acquires Semprae Laboratories, Inc. - Adds Two Over the Counter Revenue-Generating Products, Zestra™ and Zestra Glide™, to its Female Sexual Health Product Pipeline LA JOLLA, Calif., December 30, 2013 - Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., ("Innovus Pharma" or the "Company") www.innovuspharma.com (OTC: BB: INNV) today announced that the Company acquired Semprae Laboratories, Inc. ("Semprae") through a merger and for shares of common stock of Innovus Pharma. Semprae is a New Jersey company founded by women in 2008 with the goal of improving women's sexual lives. From the beginning, Semprae has been marketing Zestra™, the first non-prescription product clinically proven to increase arousal, sensation, pleasure and satisfaction in women. In 2011, Semprae introduced Zestra Glide™, an accompanying water based lubricant. Together the two products had gross sales of approximately $1 million in 2013. Innovus Pharma currently has two products targeting male sexual health including EjectDelay™ for premature ejaculation and CIRCUMserum™ to help alleviate reduced penile sensitivity The acquisition of Semprae brings a number of benefits to Innovus Pharma: 1. Immediate revenue-generating non-prescription products for women's sexual health. The Company believes that Zestra™ is the only non-prescription product shown in published double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials in close to 300 women in the U.S. to have a statistical increase in desire, arousal and satisfaction in women with Female Sexual Arousal Disorder ("FSAD") with minimal side effects; Zestra™ is recommended by many gynecologists, urologists and sex therapist due to its clinical efficacy and safety; 2. Approximately $1 million in new additional annual gross revenues from the sales of these products; 3. Strong intellectual property protection. Zestra™ is protected by patents extending to beyond 2021; 4. Immediate retail presence in some of the largest U.S. retail chains such as Walmart, Target, K Mart and Drugstore.com and large drug wholesalers such McKesson, Cardinal Health and H.D. Smith; 5. Over 85,000 retail customers for these two products; and 6. Institutional venture shareholders, including Quakers Partners, L.P. and Versant Ventures, L.P. "This acquisition of Semprae moves Innovus Pharma into the commercial revenue-generating stage with needed products in the female sexual health space," said Dr. Bassam Damaj, President and Chief Executive Officer of Innovus Pharma. "In addition, it gives Innovus the needed retail infrastructure for distributing the rest of our OTC products in the US. The combination of Semprae's two products with those of Innovus Pharma creates a company that is clearly an emerging leader in the over the counter male and female sexual health space. " "The synergy of Innovus Pharma's products in the male sexual health space including EjectDelay™ for premature ejaculation and CIRCUMSerum™ to alleviate reduced penile sensitivity, with Semprae's products which target the female sexuality area including Zestra™ for female sexual arousal and Zestra Glide™ as a lubricant, uniquely position the Company in the sexual health category for further accelerated growth and expansion," said Adele C. Oliva, Partner at Quaker Partners, L.P., a Philadelphia life sciences venture fund and one of the two lead venture investors in Semprae. "The expertise of the Innovus management team, including Dr. Damaj's past experience and success with other products in this category when he was CEO of Apricus Biosciences, will be very valuable to grow the Semprae products in the U.S. and internationally," commented Camille Samuels, former Managing Partner and currently Affiliated Director at Versant Ventures, the other lead venture investor in Semprae. Dr. Damaj added that Innovus Pharma expects to acquire or develop more products to treat male or female sexual health. About Zestra™ and Glide™ and Female Sexual Arousal Zestra™ is a patented blend of natural oils clinically-proven in double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials in close to 300 women to increase in a statistical significant manner the arousal, desire and satisfaction in FSAD women. The product has been on the U.S. Canadian markets for approximately five years through major retailers such as Walmart, Target and K-Mart and drug wholesalers such as McKesson, Cardinal Health and HD Smith and through online sales. Zestra Glide™ is an accompanying water-based lubricant developed and sold by Semprae. For more information visit www.zestra.com To date, no product has been approved in the U.S. to treat FSAD, a persistent or recurring inability to attain or maintain adequate sexual excitement until the completion of a sexual activity. The diagnosis can also refer to an inadequate lubrication-swelling response normally present during arousal and sexual activity causing personal distress. Published papers on the FSAD market size estimate it to be equal or larger than the market for erectile dysfunction in males, and possibly larger. About EjectDelay™ and Premature Ejaculation EjectDelay™ is an over-the-counter ("OTC") U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada compliant proprietary topical treatment containing the drug benzocaine and indicated for delay of premature ejaculation ("PE"). The drug typically works within minutes of application to the glans of the penis. In clinical trials, the application of benzocaine has been shown to delay premature ejaculation by several minutes. For more information visit www.ejectdelay.com . PE is the most common sexual dysfunction reported by men but is still under-diagnosed and under-treated. PE can happen at any age and its prevalence is consistent across all ages. In an article in The Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2007 Sex Med 2007, D.L. Patrick, D. Rowland and M. Rothman state, "Global studies consistently report that 20-30% of men experience PE worldwide. This means that PE is experienced at similar rates across the globe". About CIRCUMserum TM and Reduced Penile Sensitivity Innovus Pharma acquired the ex-U.S. rights to CIRCUMserum TM from Centric Research Institute (CRI) in early 2013. Reduced Penile Sensitivity ("RPS") refers to the condition of decreased sensation in the penis during sexual activity. Subjects with RPS report difficulty in stimulating the penis, maintaining erection, and/or achieving orgasm. The duration of intercourse is typically prolonged due to delayed orgasm. Normal ejaculation is quantified and diagnosed by the time it takes a man to ejaculate from penetrating the vagina. Normal men will ejaculate between 4-8 minutes following penetration of the vagina. Loss of sensation in the penis will cause men to ejaculate after longer than 15 minutes and may take up to 30 minutes, with some never being able to ejaculate. CIRCUMserum TM is an all-natural cream with the active medicinal excipient cinnamon oil (cinnamaldehyde) at 0.75%. CIRCUMserum TM activates the TRPA1 channels, leading to exciting the nociceptive responsive nerve endings to increase penile sensitivity without affecting the thickness of the skin.

EX-99.1 2 exhibit99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 2, 2016 CONTACTS: Robin Elliott, CFO 217.365-4500 [email protected] FIRST BUSEY CORPORATION FINALIZES ACQUISITION OF PULASKI FINANCIAL CORP. AND PULASKI BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION Champaign, IL - First Busey Corporation ("Busey") (NASDAQ: BUSE), the holding company for Busey Bank, today announced the completion of its previously announced merger with Pulaski Financial Corp. ("Pulaski"), the holding company for Pulaski Bank, National Association ("Pulaski Bank"). Under the terms of the definitive agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each share of Pulaski common stock issued and outstanding as of the effective time was converted into and constituted the right to receive 0.79 shares of Busey common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares. The market value of the shares of Busey common stock issuable at the effective time of the merger was approximately $193.1 million based on Busey's closing stock price of $20.44 on April 29, 2016. Busey will operate Pulaski Bank as a separate banking subsidiary of Busey until it is merged with Busey Bank, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2016, subject to regulatory approval. First Busey President and Chief Executive Officer Van A. Dukeman said, "Pulaski is a highly respected banking company in the Midwest's 4th largest MSA. We are excited to combine two organizations with similar values and focus on customer service and organic growth. St. Louis' size and density will allow our combined organization greater commercial banking and wealth management growth opportunities. Pulaski has a strong leadership team, which we look forward to working with as we seek to build on Pulaski's 93 years of strong banking history in St. Louis". Pulaski had total consolidated assets of $1.64 billion, total loans of $1.41 billion and total deposits of $1.25 billion at March 31, 2016. Gary W. Douglass, Chief Executive Officer of Pulaski Bank, said, "Busey is a true community bank. Its associates are firmly grounded in the values that make our communities great. Busey's size, broad array of commercial and wealth management products, banking expertise and strong capital position-coupled with community ties and flexible and responsive local decision-making authority-offer us the ability to further capitalize on opportunities in St. Louis, while continuing to offer exceptional customer service. Busey will build on our shared dedication to community involvement and service excellence, as well as provide us the opportunity to offer larger commercial credits, spurring even greater economic and community development activity. Pulaski's strong and sizeable mortgage banking division will nicely complement Busey's existing fee based business as well as providing meaningful cross sale opportunities to mortgage customers". Busey was advised by FIG Partners, LLC and the law firm of Barack Ferrazzano Kirschbaum & Nagelberg LLP. Pulaski was advised by Sandler O'Neill + Partners, L.P. and the law firm of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP.

Busey Bank, First Busey Corporation's wholly-owned bank subsidiary, is also headquartered in Champaign, Illinois and has twenty-eight banking centers serving Illinois, a banking center in Indianapolis, Indiana, and six banking centers serving southwest Florida.

EX-99.1 2 a08-24734_1ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Advent Completes Acquisition of Tamale Software Acquisition Enables Company to Extend its Presence into the Front Office and Establish a Leadership Position in Research Management SAN FRANCISCO - October 1, 2008 - Advent Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADVS), a leading provider of software and services for the investment management industry, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Tamale Software, a leading research management solution (RMS) provider. Under the terms of the agreement, which were previously announced on September 4, 2008, Advent has acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Tamale Software for approximately $28 million and 906,000 shares of Advent's common stock. "The completion of this acquisition represents a significant step for Advent in our strategy to expand our footprint in the front office and establish ourselves as a leader in the rapidly growing RMS field", said Advent's Founder and Chief Executive Officer Stephanie DiMarco. "Tamale Software has set the standard in the research management industry; we welcome their team and proven RMS expertise, and look forward to collectively taking our business to the next level". Since pioneering the RMS space in 2004, Tamale Software has become a clear leader, with more than 1,700 investment professionals at hedge funds, endowments, funds of funds, private equity firms and traditional asset management firms using Tamale RMS ® , the firm's innovative workflow software solution, to manage their workflow and research process. Tamale RMS ® , which going forward will be marketed under the name Advent Tamale RMS TM , creates a centralized information hub to easily manage and access research information, enhancing collaboration across the investment team and optimizing the investment decision-making process. Advent Tamale RMS TM complements Advent's other product offerings, and the integrated solution will bridge research management and portfolio management to increase efficiency and link analysts' recommendations to investment performance. "Managing a pipeline of new ideas through the research and decision making process is one of the most difficult tasks for an investment team", said Joe Saluti, Director of Research for Highline Capital, a hedge fund manager with approximately $2 billion in assets under management, and both a Tamale and Advent client. "Tamale enables the work sharing, process discipline and accountability that are so crucial to this effort; it is so embedded in our work process that our team is trained to understand that if their work is not in Tamale, then it doesn't exist." Added Michael Klarman, Highline's Chief Financial Officer, "We've also been an Advent client for more than five years, trusting Advent's industry-leading accounting platforms to deliver the reliability and the insight we need to manage our growth successfully. I'm really looking forward to seeing these two industry innovators help us bridge our front- and back-office workflow even more powerfully". "We are very excited about the opportunity to join forces with Advent and leverage the systems, processes, and teams we've developed to serve our customers and contribute towards a unique and powerful front-office/back-office integrated solution", said Tamale's President and CEO, Mark Rice. "The combination of our products positions us very well to accelerate our strategy of delivering innovative solutions to help investment professionals enhance and more effectively manage their investment research process. We look forward to being a part of Advent and developing these opportunities". Concluded DiMarco, "With the Tamale Software acquisition now complete, Advent is in a stronger position than ever before in our 25-year history, with increased capacity to reach new customers and the ability to provide our client base with an enhanced product offering. We look forward to delivering on the promise of this acquisition and continuing to build value for our clients and shareholders".

Radecki - Chief Financial Officer (301) 664-9132 / [email protected] Media: Vikki Kayne - Senior Director, Media Relations (301) 280-3858 / [email protected] CoStar Group Purchases a 2008 Class A LEED Gold-Certified Office Building CoStar Group To Relocate to Washington, D.C. and Plans to Capitalize on $6.1 Million in Tax Incentives BETHESDA, MD - February 5, 2010 - CoStar Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSGP) the number one provider of information, marketing and analytic services to the commercial real estate industry, today announced the Company has purchased an office building at 1331 L Street, N.W. in Washington, D.C., through a wholly owned subsidiary, for $41.25 million where it plans to locate its Headquarters. As incentive for CoStar to relocate its headquarters to the District, The Council of the District of Columbia approved $6.1 million in property tax abatements over a 10-year period, provided CoStar hires 100 District residents, among other things. In addition, CoStar Group may be eligible for additional incentives such as a five-year elimination of District corporate income tax and certain sale and use tax exemptions. "We are excited about a Washington, D.C. location for our new headquarters", stated Andrew Florance, CoStar Group's CEO. "We are also fortunate to be able to take advantage of what we see as a historic opportunity to secure an exceptional asset at a greatly reduced price". Florance also thanked District of Columbia Mayor Adrian Fenty and District officials for their support. "We appreciate the leadership and support shown by Mayor Fenty and the D.C. Council members who supported the bill, and for their continued efforts to bring more jobs and opportunities to District residents". As the largest research and analytics organization in commercial real estate, CoStar enjoys a unique perspective on commercial property values, and believes that current market conditions provide an opportune time to acquire a high quality property at a significant discount. CoStar acquired the 50% vacant building for $243 per square foot, less than half the current market rate median of $518 per square foot for Class A office buildings sold in Washington, D.C. since January 1, 2009. The pristine LEED Gold-Certified office building, which cost $90.6 million to construct, includes 169,429 square feet of rentable space, state of the art amenities and a central location in Washington D.C., bringing CoStar closer to the Federal Government, one of the fastest growing industry users of CoStar products. Such a move also continues CoStar Group's support of environmentally responsible decisions in the workplace. As the recipient of the 2009 Excellence in ENERGY STAR Promotion award from the Environmental Protection Agency, CoStar made ENERGY STAR and LEED certification a requirement in its Headquarters search. Presently, Washington, D.C. is a leader in progressive legislation regarding energy efficient building operations. In comparison to Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. has more than twice the amount of LEED Registered or Certified total square footage and five times the amount of suburban Maryland. The acquisition does not affect the Company's fourth quarter of 2009 or full year of 2009 results. The Company's current Headquarters lease in Bethesda, Maryland expires on October 15, 2010, and the Company expects to incur a period of overlapping occupancy costs through the end of the current lease term as it transitions to the new Washington D.C. location. After this period, the Company expects to save approximately $1.0 million a year in occupancy costs versus leasing space in a comparable building. The Company will discuss its 2010 outlook in greater detail on its fourth quarter of 2009 earnings conference call on February 25, 2010 at 11 AM EST. About CoStar Group, Inc. CoStar Group, Inc.

We acquired new properties, changed auditors, financials are current and we located lenders to finance our purchases and refinances. We are embarking on a gateway of acquisitions in 2020, and believe that as HBUV continues to aggressively expand its portfolio with "value add" student housing, it will bring more positive cash flow and further increase our net assets, which we feel confident that our investors will be pleased with the company's steady growth and our strategic business strategy".

EX-99.2 5 v163442_ex99-2.htm Unassociated Document For Immediate Release TRIPLECROWN ACQUISITION CORP. AND CULLEN AGRICULTURAL HOLDING CORP. ANNOUNCE BUSINESS COMBINATION HAS BEEN CONSUMMATED JACKSON, WYOMING, October 22, 2009 - Triplecrown Acquisition Corp. ("Triplecrown") (NYSE AMEX: TCW, TCW.U, TCW.WS) and Cullen Agricultural Holding Corp. ("CAH") today announced the completion of the business combination with Cullen Agricultural Technologies Inc. ("Cullen Agritech"). The transaction was approved by the stockholders of Triplecrown at its special meeting on October 21, 2009. In addition to approving the business combination, the Triplecrown warrantholders also approved amendments to its warrants to (a) increase the exercise price of the warrants from $7.50 per share to $12.00 per share, (b) extend the expiration date of the warrants from October 21, 2012 to October 21, 2013 and (c) increase the price at which the stock must trade for the warrants to be called for redemption from $13.75 per share to $17.00 per share. Upon completion of the transactions, Cullen Inc. Holdings Ltd., the prior holder of common stock of Cullen Agritech which is beneficially owned and controlled by Eric Watson, was issued 15,881,148 shares of CAH common stock for his interest in Cullen Agritech. Of this amount, 1,588,114 shares were deposited in escrow to secure the indemnification obligations owed to Triplecrown under the merger agreement. Additionally, two consultants to Triplecrown were issued an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common stock of CAH. In connection with the transactions, Triplecrown entered into "forward contracts" to purchase approximately 39.4 million of the shares of its common stock sold in its initial public offering in privately negotiated transactions from stockholders who would otherwise have voted against the business combination for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $385 million. The closing of such purchases was effected on the closing of the business combination out of the funds that were held in Triplecrown's trust account and were released as a result of the business combination. After payment of converting stockholders and forward contracts (including fees), approximately $3.7 million will be disbursed to CAH. After payment of transaction related expenses (excluding deferred underwriting commissions), it is expected that there will be approximately $3.0 million available for Cullen Agritech's working capital requirements. After giving effect to the transactions and the issuances to Triplecrown's two consultants, there are currently outstanding 19,247,311 shares of CAH common stock (of which 15,881,148 shares are beneficially owned by Mr. Watson) and 74,000,000 warrants, each to purchase one share of CAH common stock (of which 9,130,000 are beneficially owned by Mr. Watson). Triplecrown's common stock, units and warrants will cease trading and CAH's common stock and warrants will begin trading on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board shortly after the closing. New symbols will be announced once known. The units will not trade following consummation of the business combination. Holders of securities of Triplecrown that remain holders of securities of CAH do not need to exchange their existing certificates for certificates issued by CAH. Current Triplecrown certificates will automatically represent rights in CAH's securities. About Cullen Agricultural Technologies Inc. Cullen Agritech is a newly formed company committed to the development and commercialization of advanced agricultural technologies. Cullen Agritech's principal focus will be to improve agricultural yields through pasture and animal sciences. Natural Dairy Inc. ("Natural Dairy"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cullen Agritech, will rollout Cullen Agritech's multi-farm dairy operation in the Southeastern United States utilizing the Cullen Agritech farming system. Natural Dairy will be acquiring and converting farmland for the development of pasture based dairy farming operations to produce fresh liquid milk for the Eastern Seaboard. The Eastern Seaboard represents one of the largest fresh liquid milk markets in the world but is currently undersupplied of liquid milk due to a lack of regionally based milk producers. By utilizing an efficient, pasture-based farming system, Natural Dairy will help bridge this supply gap by producing milk in the Southeastern States at a substantially lower cost than could be achieved through the traditional dairy farming model.

The combined company will have a broad portfolio of complementary platforms, highly relevant products designed to help discover and fight life threatening infectious diseases and strong global commercial channels. I am delighted to be chairing this distinguished board of directors and anticipate tremendous, value-creating opportunities for the combined company". Mr. Schacht said, "I am grateful to both our companies' boards and shareholders for their unwavering support throughout the past many months of strategic interactions and discussions between our companies. This transaction would not have been possible without the tremendous commitment of our executive teams and advisors. I would like to especially thank Evan Jones for his leadership and support over the past many months. With Bill Rhodes as our past and future chairman and with Evan on the board of directors we will have great continuity".

I would like thank all our shareholders for the overwhelming support throughout this process and the teams on both sides for having diligently worked with a singular focus on getting the deal done. We anticipate this business combination will maximize value for our shareholders through providing a robust product portfolio with proprietary assets for developing and commercializing innovative, data-driven solutions in infectious disease diagnostics.

EX-99.1 7 probility_ex9901.htm PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 PROBILITY MEDIA CORP. CLOSES THE ACQUISITION OF W MARKETING June 27, 2017 HOUSTON, TX-(Marketwired - Jun 27, 2017) - ProBility Media Corp. (OTCQB: PBYA) today announces that it has closed the acquisition of W Marketing, Inc., a profitable, revenue-generating provider of National Electrical Codes (NECs) to the electrical and construction industries. The acquisition is expected to strengthen ProBility's financial position and enable the Company to become one of the nation's largest wholesalers of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) electrical codes. W Marketing, located in Hauppauge, New York, provides the latest NECs through its nationwide network of electrical distributors, which includes bookstores, trade/vocational schools, universities, retail chains, specialty retailers, and independent hardware stores. ProBility now expects to become one of the largest wholesalers of NFPA electrical codes in the United States, and expects to provide codes to over 175,000 electricians in each three-year cycle. The NEC is a regionally adoptable standard for the safe installation of electrical wiring and equipment in the United States. It is part of the National Fire Codes series published by the National Fire Protection (NFPA), a private association. First published in 1897, the NEC is updated and published every three years, 2017 being the most recent addition. In 2017, W Marketing achieved $2.7 million in revenues. ProBility expects 2018 and 2019 revenues to be less than 2017, and to increase again in 2020, when the new codes will be released. W Marketing's vast library of published products includes courses and exam preparation materials. The company is also the official publisher and producer of the Dr. Watts companion electrical guides for the electrical and construction trades. With a complete line of NEC books, reference guides, training DVDs and CD-Roms, W Marketing is a strong advocate for continued learning within the electrical, plumbing, building and construction industries.

EX-99.1 2 v077460_ex99-1.htm Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC 125 W. 55 th Street New York, NY 10019 Media Release MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANY CLOSES ACQUISITION OF TWO FIXED BASE OPERATIONS New York, NY - June 4, 200 7 Macquarie Infrastructure Company (NYSE: MIC), a market leader in the ownership and operation of infrastructure businesses in the US, announced that it has completed its previously announced purchase of fixed base operations ("FBOs") at Santa Monica Municipal Airport in Santa Monica, California and Stewart International Airport in New Windsor, New York. The facilities currently operate as the Supermarine FBO network. "The addition of two high-quality sites at Santa Monica and Stewart to our Atlantic Aviation network further solidifies our already strong position in the FBO market", said Peter Stokes, CEO of Macquarie Infrastructure Company. "With a network of 43 facilities at some of the most popular general aviation destinations in the country, pilots and travellers have even more opportunities to experience the friendly, service-minded "Atlantic Attitude"". The Company is investing an aggregate $90.2 million, including costs, in the Supermarine sites. Both will be rebranded and integrated into Macquarie Infrastructure Company's existing Atlantic Aviation operations. MIC will report the financial results of the new facilities as a component of its airport services business segment. MIC funded the acquisition with $32.5 million drawn against an existing credit facility at Atlantic and $57.7 million of cash. FBOs provide fuel and fuel-related services, terminal services and aircraft hangarage to the general aviation community. The facility at Santa Monica is the sole FBO at that airport and the facility at Stewart is one of two FBOs. ABOUT MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANY MIC owns, operates and invests in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses, which provide basic, everyday services, to customers in the United States. Its businesses consist of an airport services business, an airport parking business, a district energy business, a gas production and distribution business, and a fifty percent indirect interest in a bulk liquid storage terminal business. The Company is managed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macquarie Bank Limited. For additional information, please visit the Macquarie Infrastructure Company website at www.macquarie.com/mic.

(Nasdaq:MGLN) today announced that it has completed its acquisition of National Imaging Associates, Inc. (NIA), a privately held radiology benefits management (RBM) firm headquartered in Hackensack, N.J. The Company paid approximately $122 million, after giving effect to cash acquired in the transaction, for NIA, which becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan. The Company also confirmed its expectation, as previously announced, that the NIA business would contribute approximately one million dollars of net income, or $0.02 of earnings per share on a fully diluted basis, and $13 million of segment profit to Magellan's results in the remainder of 2006. Steven J. Shulman, chairman and chief executive officer of Magellan, said, "With the acquisition of NIA, Magellan has taken a bold step toward realizing its strategic vision as a leader in the specialty health care niche. Radiology benefits management addresses a top priority for health care purchasers and offers significant growth opportunity for Magellan. We look forward to leveraging our existing customer base, financial strength and operational infrastructure to support NIA's entry into risk-based business as a platform for future growth". NIA manages diagnostic imaging services on a non-risk basis for its customers, which include some of the nation's largest health plans, to ensure that such services are clinically appropriate and cost effective. With more than 17 million lives under contract, it manages more lives than any other radiology benefits management firm in the country.

Its customers include health plans, corporations and government agencies.

EX-99.3 6 ex993.htm EXHIBIT 99.3 ex993.htm Exhibit 99.3 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-December 8, 2009 ANCHOR FUNDING SERVICES, INC.'s CO-CHAIRMEN AND INVESTOR MAKE $500,000 INVESTMENT FOR 500,000 COMMON SHARES AT $1.00 PER SHARE BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anchor Funding Services, Inc.'s (OTC Bulletin Board Symbol "AFNG.OB") Co-Chairmen, Morry F. Rubin and George Rubin and a private investor have agreed to purchase from the Company 500,000 common shares at $1.00 per share and, in addition, will receive as a group, 2,000,000 warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share. The common stock investment represents a 65% premium price above the December 7, 2009 closing bid price of Anchor Common Stock. The Company plans to utilize the additional funds for working capital and to complete the recently announced acquisition of Brookridge Funding, LLC ("Brookridge"). Morry F. Rubin, Chairman and CEO, stated "We are excited about Anchor's growth opportunities and our investment in the Company at approximately a 65% premium to its December 7, 2009 closing bid price highlights our belief in Anchor's prospects and growth potential. The current credit crisis facing small U.S. businesses seeking new business credit facilities or seeking to expand existing credit facilities poses serious challenges. Anchor continues to position itself to capitalize upon providing credit to small U.S. businesses through its direct marketing and sales efforts and from seeking acquisitions of factoring and specialty finance firms serving the small to mid size business sector." About Brookridge Since 1995, Brookridge has provided over $430 million of purchase order and accounts receivable financing to small and mid-sized U.S. businesses. The purchase order financing industry, a specialty niche funding sector, is not dominated by any single firm and serves to fill a critical need for companies requiring working capital to source goods from suppliers in order to fill customer purchase orders from credit worthy companies, Fortune 1000 corporations or government related entities. Purchase order financing for U.S. based firms supports payments for the flow of goods within the supply chain to suppliers for production of goods which ultimately reach the end consumer. About Anchor Anchor provides innovative accounts receivable funding to small and mid-size U.S. businesses. Through our 80% owned subsidiary, Brookridge Funding Services, LLC, we provide purchase order financing solutions to firms requiring non-traditional financing for U.S. based clients conducting business with creditworthy firms domestically. Our funding facility which is based upon creditworthiness of accounts receivable, provides rapid and flexible financing to support small and mid-size businesses' working capital needs.

("Recro"; NASDAQ: REPH), a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) dedicated to solving complex formulation and manufacturing challenges for companies developing oral solid dose drug products, today announced that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent ("the LOI") for its acquisition of a full service CDMO with capabilities that range from formulation development to commercial manufacturing for various dosage forms including oral liquids, sterile injectables, tablets, topicals, liquid/powder filled capsules, ophthalmic droppers, liposomes and nano/microparticles (the "Target"). Pursuant to the LOI, Recro agreed to acquire 100% of the equity interests of the Target in exchange for consideration having an aggregate value of approximately $49.850 million, assuming a cash free, debt free balance sheet and that the Target has, at closing, an adequate level of working capital (excluding cash) to support the operations of its business post-closing. The purchase price will be paid through: (i) $25.5 million of cash at closing; (ii) 9,302,718 shares of common stock of Recro to be issued to Target in six months; and (iii) seller notes of $6.1 million. The seller notes will have a three (3) year maturity date from the date of closing and bear interest at a rate of 6% annually. The seller notes will be expressly subordinated and unsecured in right of payment and priority to Recro's existing debt with Athyrium Capital Management.

EX-99.1 10 a07-31953_4ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE VCG Holding Corp. Announces Completion of Purchase of LaBoheme Gentlemen's Cabaret in Denver, CO - 5 th Acquisition in Denver - 12 th Acquisition this Year DENVER (BUSINESS WIRE) December 26, 2007 - VCG Holding Corp. (AMEX: PTT) , a growing and leading consolidator and operator of adult nightclubs, today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of LaBoheme Gentlemen's Cabaret in Denver, CO. The definitive agreement for this acquisition was previously announced in a press release dated December 6, 2007. The Company received its liquor license and took over full operations on December 21, 2007. VCG Holding has purchased all of the assets including intellectual property from 1443 Corp., the owner of LaBoheme, for $5.0 million. The Company paid 3.6 times EBITDA and funded the acquisition through cash and lines of credit. In the previous 12 months, the club generated revenues of approximately $3.5 million and operating profits on a pro forma basis in excess of $1.4 million. LaBoheme is a 12,000 square feet club and is directly across from the Denver convention center's main entrance. The club's EBITDA for 2007 is expected to be $1.4 million with add backs. VCG Holding's management estimates that EBITDA for 2008 will be over $1.5 million, as a result of the major events in the Denver area for 2008 and the realization of operating and marketing efficiencies. Further, the Company expects to realize similar operating and marketing efficiencies at its other Denver area clubs. Troy Lowrie, Chairman and CEO of VCG Holding, stated, "With this acquisition VCG Holding now has five Denver area locations, including the only two downtown locations in the city. We expect all of our locations in Denver to have a very good year in 2008 with a number of events occurring in the city including the Democratic National Convention in August, as well as other major conventions. "The LaBoheme acquisition demonstrates our business plan of clustering club locations in major metropolitan markets. This technique allows key management to oversee multiple locations and gain efficiencies in our operations. We now have five locations in both Denver and St. Louis, and we expect to expand our cluster operating model to the other cities during the next few years. This acquisition brings the total number of acquisitions in 2007 to 12 clubs. Being one of a few adult entertainment consolidators, we look forward to more accretive acquisitions in 2008 and beyond", concluded Mr. Lowrie. About VCG Holding Corp.

EX-99.1 9 hhimports_ex99z1.htm PRESS RELEASE Press Release EXHIBIT 99.1 H&H Imports, Inc. Announces Acquisition of TV Goods Holding Corporation Acquisition Places TV Goods Chairman, Kevin Harrington, One of the Stars on ABC's Reality TV Show "Shark Tank", at Helm of Company May 28, 2010 (Business Wire) -- H & H Imports Inc. (OTCBB:HNHI), today announced that it has completed the merger first announced on April 18, 2010. On April 18, 2010, the company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC which disclosed that, on April 15, 2010, it had entered into a definitive merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") to acquire TV Goods Holding Corporation ("TV Goods"), a Florida-based privately held direct response ("DR") marketing company, pursuant to which TV Goods would be merged with a subsidiary of H&H and continue its business as a wholly owned subsidiary of H&H. That merger was completed earlier today. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the TV Goods shareholders received shares of H&H common stock such that the TV Goods shareholders own approximately 98% of the total of approximately 184,755,010 shares of H&H issued and outstanding as of today's closing. A Form 8-K will be filed next week disclosing the material terms of the transaction. Also, TV Goods announced today that, prior to closing, it had completed a private placement of its securities for gross proceeds of approximately $2.4 million. Management of TV Goods believes one of the key factors in the success of the private placement was Kevin Harrington's track record of billions of dollars in sales in the DR industry. About TV Goods Holding Corporation TV Goods is a Florida corporation located in Clearwater, Florida which develops, markets and distributes products and services primarily through infomercials and other direct response channels of distribution. TV Goods intends to leverage the experience and current high profile of its chairman, Kevin Harrington, and his management team to develop and launch marketing campaigns for a portfolio of products and services.

EX-99.1 3 a06-26152_1ex99d1.htm EX-99 Exhibit 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CASCADE CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PURCHASE OF PSM Cascade Corporation (NYSE: CAE) announced today that it has acquired PSM Corporation, a manufacturer of construction attachments based in Woodinville, Washington. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. PSM specializes in designing, manufacturing and marketing attachments and tools used on medium and heavy duty construction vehicles used in the infrastructure, demolition, recycling, forestry, utility and general construction markets. PSM currently employs about 120 people. PSM products are sold through construction dealers and major equipment manufacturers throughout the Western United States. Cascade is the world's largest manufacturer of materials handling attachments and tools for lift trucks with sales of approximately $450 million and facilities in North America, Europe and Asia. Robert C. Warren, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascade, commented: "We view the construction attachment market as a natural extension of our present product line. We have been planning our expansion into this market for some time and we believe PSM will provide an excellent platform for our entry. PSM serves the market segment we have targeted and its business is built on high quality products and excellent customer service. These are the same competitive factors that are the foundation of Cascade's global business and its success". Warren added: "Combining Cascade's and PSM's knowledge and resources will allow us to better serve existing PSM customers, significantly expand our geographic scope in The Americas, and to begin producing construction attachments and tools in China for the Chinese domestic markets." Andy Anderson, Cascade's Chief Financial Officer noted: "While PSM's operating results will be included in our North American operating segment, and as such, not reported separately, we expect the acquisition to add between $20 and $30 million in revenue next year." Anderson further noted: "The purchase price was approximately $40 million before working capital adjustments. We anticipate a moderate increase in capital expenditures next year as we begin our expansion activities in both North American and China".

Readers are cautioned that a number of factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from any results indicated in this release or in any other forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf.

(OTCBB/OTCQB: SSNT), a preferred source for best-of-breed mid-market software applications and expert professional consulting services, today announced that the Company has completed the asset purchase of HighTower, Inc., a leading Chicago-based reseller of Sage software applications and a publisher of proprietary business management software enhancements. With the closing of this transaction, Hightower's customers and business products and services will be integrated into the infrastructure of SWK Technologies, SilverSun's principal operating subsidiary. Since late March and in anticipation of this asset purchase, SWK has provided technical support and a variety of consulting services to all Hightower clients and to the many Sage business partners who support their ERP enhancements. "We are very pleased to have completed the purchase of Hightower", said Mark Meller, CEO of SilverSun Technologies. "Among other strategic benefits, this brings SilverSun and SWK approximately $3 million in additional annual revenues (based upon 2011 results), approximately 870 additional Sage ERP customers, an impressive suite of proprietary enhancement software solutions (with approximately 700 users) and a much deeper market penetration in the Midwest. Moreover, we look forward to leveraging Hightower's established network of independent resellers to further expand distribution of SWK's proprietary software solutions, and vice versa. This acquisition marks an important milestone for SilverSun, and one that should have notable impact on our revenue and earnings growth in 2012 and well beyond". Since 1987, Hightower has been a software industry leader that has supplied integrated technology systems and mid-market solutions for businesses across the country. In addition, it has been engaged in developing proprietary software, bringing to market a robust suite of enhancement products which effectively integrate with and complement Sage 100 ERP solutions. For the past seven years, Hightower has been ranked as a "Top 100 Value Added Reseller" by Accounting Today magazine; and for the last eight consecutive years, the publication has awarded the Company its Technology Pacesetter Award. The cash-only acquisition of select Hightower assets was funded by SilverSun's existing financing facilities on a non-dilutive basis to existing shareholders.

EX-99.1 2 a14-26933_1ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Hilltop Holdings Inc. Completes Acquisition of SWS Group, Inc. DALLAS-Hilltop Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HTH) ("Hilltop"), the parent company of PlainsCapital Corporation ("PlainsCapital"), today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Dallas-based SWS Group, Inc. ("SWS"). PlainsCapital, through its operating subsidiaries PlainsCapital Bank and PrimeLending, provides banking and mortgage origination, respectively. SWS's banking subsidiary, Southwest Securities, FSB, has been merged into PlainsCapital Bank, which will now be the 5th largest Texas-based bank by deposits(1). SWS's broker-dealer subsidiaries, Southwest Securities, Inc. and SWS Financial Services, Inc., became subsidiaries of Hilltop Securities Holdings LLC, a holding company directly under Hilltop and the successor of SWS in the merger. In connection with the merger, First Southwest Company and its related entities also became subsidiaries of Hilltop Securities Holdings LLC. Subsequent to the closing of this transaction, First Southwest and Southwest Securities will continue to operate as separate broker-dealers, under combined leadership, until such time as the necessary regulatory approvals are obtained and systems integrations are complete. Under the terms of the merger agreement, SWS stockholders will receive per share consideration of 0.2496 shares of Hilltop common stock and $1.94 of cash, equating to $6.92 per share based on Hilltop's closing price on December 31, 2014. The merger consideration, including Hilltop's existing investment in SWS, is approximately $350 million(2). "We are excited to close our acquisition of SWS, as this is a significant milestone for Hilltop. The SWS employees, customers and shareholders have been anticipating the closing, so I now want to welcome them to Hilltop and our family of companies. We look forward to bringing together the best of both firms and are confident in our capable and proven management team to work through this integration." said Gerald J. Ford, Chairman of Hilltop. Hilltop also is pleased to announce management of the broker-dealers who will lead integration of the companies and the eventual combined broker-dealer. Hill Feinberg will lead the combined broker-dealer as Chairman and CEO, responsible for management of the firm and reporting to Hilltop CEO Jeremy B. Ford. This will be a continuation of Mr. Feinberg's current role with First Southwest, as he has served as Chairman and CEO of First Southwest since 1991. Before joining First Southwest, Mr. Feinberg was a senior managing director at Bear Stearns & Co. and a vice president and manager of Salomon Brothers in the Dallas office. Jim Ross will serve as Vice Chairman and also will be charged with leading the Retail division. Robert Peterson, who has extensive broker-dealer experience in previous roles at Piper Jaffray Companies, has been brought in to be the President and COO, with significant responsibility for ensuring effective and efficient integration of the broker-dealers. John Muschalek will be the new Chief Administrative Officer, with direct oversight of Clearing, Stock Loan, IT and Operations. Mike Edge will serve as CFO, overseeing all finance and accounting as well as human resources. Allen Tubb has been selected to lead the legal efforts of the new firm as General Counsel. Stephens Inc. acted as financial advisor to Hilltop, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz acted as legal advisor. Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. acted as financial advisor to the Special Committee of the SWS Board of Directors, and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP acted as legal advisor.

EX-99.2 13 ea146879ex99-2_rumbleoninc.htm PRESS RELEASE, DATED AUGUST 31, 2021 Exhibit 99.2 RumbleOn Announces the Closing of its Business Combination with RideNow, Creating the First Omnichannel Customer Experience in Powersports Company Announces the Closing of its Upsized Public Offering and Full Exercise of the Underwriters' Option to Purchase Additional Shares Management to Host a Conference Call at 8:00 a.m. ET on Wednesday, September 1 DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- RumbleOn, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBL), the nation's largest retailer of powersports vehicles and first omnichannel customer experience in powersports, today announced the closing of its previously announced business combination with RideNow, acquiring 100% of the RideNow dealership portfolio, bringing an unparalleled solution to powersports enthusiasts. The Company will host a conference call tomorrow, September 1, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. ET, to discuss the combined business. The Company also announced that immediately prior to closing the RideNow transaction, it closed its upsized public offering of approximately 5.1 million shares of Class B Common Stock at a price to the public of $33.00 per share, which includes the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase an additional 659,090 shares from RumbleOn. The Company raised approximately $167.0 million in gross proceeds for the business combination and working capital. The business combination is also being funded through a $280.0 million term loan from funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management L.P. (and certain other lenders) and the issuance to RideNow equity holders of approximately 5.8 million RumbleOn Class B shares. In addition, the lenders have committed to a $120.0 million delayed draw term loan facility which the Company may use in the future to fund acquisitions, subject to certain conditions. Following the close of the transaction, total shares outstanding are approximately 15.0 million. "We are very excited to announce that we closed our business combination with RideNow, becoming the first omnichannel customer experience in powersports", said Marshall Chesrown, RumbleOn's Chief Executive Officer. "Consumers are seeking new and exciting experiences and there is no better place than powersports. Powersports are wants, not needs, and it's that lifestyle, that passion for the sport that creates the opportunity for an Omnichannel solution. We are confident that the integration of RideNow's extensive geographic footprint, strong retail brand combined with RumbleOn's technology platform, and access to pre-owned inventory will make powersport vehicles more accessible to the enthusiast and the first time buyers, nationwide". Mark Tkach, co-principal owner and co-founder of RideNow, commented, "Today marks a significant evolution in the powersports industry. Combining with RumbleOn enables us to offer an unparalleled customer experience for outdoor enthusiasts across the country. We look forward to the opportunity to work alongside Marshall and the entire RumbleOn team to revolutionize the $100+ billion market.

EX-99.1 2 a13-14392_1ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE PacWest Bancorp (NASDAQ: PACW) Contact: Matthew P. Wagner Chief Executive Officer PacWest Bancorp 10250 Constellation Boulevard Suite 1640 Los Angeles, CA 90067 Victor R. Santoro Executive Vice President & CFO PacWest Bancorp 10250 Constellation Boulevard Suite 1640 Los Angeles, CA 90067 Phone: 310-728-1020 310-728-1021 Fax: 310-201-0498 310-201-0498 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 31, 2013 PACWEST BANCORP ANNOUNCES THE COMPLETION OF ITS ACQUISITION OF FIRST CALIFORNIA FINANCIAL GROUP - Acquisition adds 6 branches after consolidation and approximately $1.7 billion in assets - - Two First California Financial Group Directors Join the PacWest Board of Directors - - First California Bank merged into Pacific Western Bank - - Integration and systems conversion scheduled for June 14, 2013 - Los Angeles, California...PacWest Bancorp (NASDAQ: PACW) ("PacWest") announced that today it completed its previously announced acquisition of First California Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCAL) ("First California"). As part of the acquisition, First California Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of First California, merged with and into PacWest's wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Pacific Western Bank ("PWB"). The acquisition, which was first announced on November 6, 2012, was concluded following receipt of shareholder approval from both institutions and all required regulatory approvals. First California had $1.7 billion in assets as of March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, on a pro forma consolidated basis with First California, PacWest would have had approximately $7.0 billion in assets. In the merger with First California, each share of First California common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.2966 of a share of PacWest common stock. The exchange ratio was calculated based on the volume-weighted average share price of PacWest common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the second full trading day prior to the receipt of the last of the regulatory approvals required under the merger agreement. PacWest is issuing an aggregate of approximately 8.3 million shares of PacWest common stock to First California stockholders (which include PacWest common shares issuable in exchange for First California's Series A Preferred Stock). Approximately $231,000 in cash is being delivered to holders of outstanding and unexercised First California options. In addition, approximately one million shares of First California common stock currently owned by PacWest have been cancelled in the merger. Based on the closing price of PacWest's common stock on May 31, 2013 of $28.83 per share, the aggregate consideration to be paid to First California common stockholders and holders of options to acquire First California common stock, plus the cost of the First California shares of common stock cancelled in the merger, is approximately $243 million. Effective May 31, 2013, Mr. Joseph Cohen and Antoinette Hubenette, M.D., former directors of First California, have joined PacWest Bancorp's board of directors. The integration of First California Bank systems and the conversion of First California Bank's branches to PWB's operating platform are scheduled to be completed over the weekend of June 14, 2013. First California Bank has 15 branches, nine of which overlap with existing Pacific Western Bank branches. Seven of the First California Bank branches will be closed as part of the integration and system conversion on June 14, 2013 and two PWB branches will subsequently be closed in the consolidation on June 21, 2013.The resulting net effect of this branch conversion and closure activity is that PWB will add six branches to its branch system. ABOUT PACWEST BANCORP PacWest is a bank holding company with $5.3 billion in assets as of March 31, 2013, with one wholly-owned banking subsidiary, PWB. Through 68 full-service branches, excluding the 15 recently acquired branches of First California Bank which will be integrated on June 14, 2013, PWB provides commercial banking services, including real estate, construction, and commercial loans, to small and medium-sized businesses. PWB's branches are located throughout California in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, and Ventura Counties. Through its subsidiaries, BFI Business Finance and Celtic Capital Corporation, and its divisions, First Community Financial and Pacific Western Equipment Finance, PWB also provides working capital financing and equipment leasing to growing companies located throughout the United States, with a focus on the Southwest, primarily in Arizona, California, Utah, and Texas.

EX-99.1 4 exhibit991pressreleasejanu.htm EX-99.1 Document HF Foods Acquires Leading Seafood Supplier Great Wall Group Las Vegas, NV - January 4, 2022 - HF Foods Group Inc. (NASDAQ: HFFG), a leading food distributor to Asian restaurants across the United States ("HF Foods", "HF Group" or the "Company"), announced today it has completed the acquisition of the business operations of Great Wall Seafood Supply Inc., Great Wall Restaurant Supplier Inc. and First Mart Inc. (collectively the "Great Wall Group"). The Great Wall Group is one of the largest frozen seafood suppliers servicing the Asian/Chinese restaurant market in the nation and generates combined annual revenue of approximately $170 million pre-pandemic and about $200 million assuming revenue remains steady with its most recent quarter. Specifically, the Great Wall Group has had a dominant presence in the Midwest, Southwest, and Southern regions since its inception in 1996. The Great Wall Group works with vendors globally, from regions such as China, Canada, South America, and New Zealand, with thousands of cargo containers transported annually. The transaction, structured as an asset purchase, was completed on December 30, 2021, for mixed consideration of cash and stock. "I am excited with the successful purchase of the Great Wall Group operations", said HF Group Chairman Russell T. Libby. "Their leadership position in the frozen seafood industry and extensive distribution network, particularly in states where HF Foods does not have a presence, complements the strengths of our existing network and supports our strategic goals of growth by acquisition and providing superior product choices to our customers". Peter Zhang, CEO of HF Foods, added: "The acquisition doubles our distribution network to over 40 states covering approximately 80% of the United Sates (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) and propels us to over a billion dollars in projected 2022 revenue. The combined entity now serves over 12,500 restaurant customers or about 30% of the nation's Asian/Chinese restaurant establishments. We will continue to solidify our market leadership position to deliver long-term shareholder value through organic growth and acquisitions such as this". Mr. Zhang continued, "On behalf of the Company, I sincerely welcome Mr. Bo Wong and the rest of the Great Wall Group employees to our HF Group family". Bo Wong, Founder and President of the Great Wall Group, said: "We are excited to be part of HF Foods Group. With HF's nationwide distribution network and market leadership position in the food service industry, the Asian/Chinese hospitality sector will certainly appreciate the newfound strength and expertise of HF Group to better support their needs. I am thankful for the warm welcome and I believe our employees will find this to be a fulfilling new home". About HF Foods Group Inc. HF Foods Group Inc., headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a leading marketer and distributor of fresh produce, frozen and dry food, and non-food products to primarily Asian/Chinese restaurants and other foodservice customers throughout the United States.

EX-99.1 2 exhibit991.htm exhibit991.htm - Generated by SEC Publisher for SEC Filing For Immediate Release June 5, 2011 For More Information Carl J. Chaney, President & Chief Executive Officer Michael M. Achary, EVP & Chief Financial Officer Trisha Voltz Carlson, SVP, Investor Relations 800.522.6542 or 504.299.5208 Hancock Holding Company completes Whitney Holding Corporation merger GULFPORT, Miss. (June 5, 2011)-Hancock Holding Company (Nasdaq: HBHC) ("Hancock") announced today the completion of its acquisition of Whitney Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: WTNY) ("Whitney"), effective Saturday, June 4, 2011. "This milestone in the rich histories of two well-established Gulf South banks begins a new era of opportunity for the company, our Hancock and Whitney customers, and the communities we serve", said Hancock Holding Company President and Chief Executive Officer Carl J. Chaney. "The merger of Whitney into Hancock joins two longtime neighbors committed for more than a century to values of strength, stability, integrity, and service". Subject to the terms of the merger agreement, Whitney shareholders are entitled to receive 0.418 shares of Hancock common stock in exchange for each share of Whitney common stock they owned immediately prior to the merger. As a result of the merger, Hancock Holding Company is now the parent company of two banks: Hancock Bank, headquartered in Gulfport, and Whitney Bank, headquartered in New Orleans and the largest state-chartered bank in Louisiana. Chaney and fellow Hancock CEO and Chief Operating Officer John M. Hairston will continue to lead Hancock Holding Company and remain as senior executives of Hancock Bank, while veteran New Orleans and Whitney banker Joseph S. "Joe" Exnicios has been appointed president of Whitney Bank. "This combination creates the preeminent Gulf South financial institution, with $20 billion in assets and nearly 300 full-service branch locations. We believe the complementary strengths of Hancock and Whitney create a superior, dynamic financial institution with experienced local leadership and talented associates who are ready to serve our valued customers and communities throughout our business footprint spanning the Gulf Coast from Houston, Texas, to Tampa, Florida", Chaney emphasized. Until Hancock Bank and Whitney Bank convert to a single operating system-anticipated to occur in early 2012, Hancock and Whitney customers should continue to do business at their current Hancock or Whitney branches. However, customers of both banks can now use Hancock and Whitney ATMs free of charge. -more- "It's business as usual at all Hancock and Whitney branches, with the immediate benefit of access to nearly 400 ATMs across five states for customers of both banks", added Chaney. Additional information about the Hancock and Whitney merger is available at www.OneStrongFuture.com, the company's merger-central website. About Hancock Holding Company Following completion of the Whitney merger, Hancock Holding Company has assets of approximately $20 billion. Both Hancock Bank and Whitney Bank were founded more than a century ago and operate a combined total of 293 full-service bank branches and almost 400 ATMs across a Gulf South corridor comprising South Mississippi; southern and central Alabama; southern Louisiana; the northern, central, and Panhandle regions of Florida; and Houston, Texas. The Hancock Holding Company financial services family also includes Hancock Investment Services, Inc.; Hancock Insurance Agency and its divisions of J. Everett Eaves and Ross King Walker; Magna Insurance Company; Southern Coastal Insurance Agency, Inc.; corporate trust offices in Gulfport and Jackson, Miss., New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Orlando; and Harrison Finance Company.

EX-99.1 2 tm2112224d1_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Porch Group Closes Homeowners of America Acquisition, Creating One of the Largest InsurTech Companies SEATTLE, April 6, 2021 -- Porch Group, Inc. ("Porch" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: PRCH) , a leading vertical software company reinventing the home services industry, successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of Homeowners of America (HOA) , making Porch one of the largest Insurance Technology (InsurTech) companies. HOA is a Managing General Agent and insurance carrier hybrid with high margins and a capital efficient reinsurance strategy which limits retained risk. HOA primarily operates in six states, including Texas, Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia. The company was founded in 2006 in Texas, a $10 billion homeowners insurance market, and was the 12 th largest home insurer in Texas in 2019. HOA is licensed to operate in 31 states, positioning it for nationwide expansion as part of Porch. Porch acquired HOA for approximately $100 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, of which approximately $21.7 million is payable in Porch common stock. "With HOA's experienced management team and scale of effective insurance operations, combined with Porch's homebuyer access and unique property data, we are positioned to scale into our InsurTech ambitions", said Matt Ehrlichman, Porch founder, chairman and CEO. "We are looking to immediately provide value to current HOA agents and customers through our technology platform and expanded offerings to be more than just an insurance carrier, but the partner for the home. We expect HOA's fit within our unique vertical software platform will provide rapid, scalable, and profitable growth. The InsurTech space is nascent, and this acquisition demonstrates our commitment to industry leadership". With the acquisition, Porch seeks to create efficient growth with reduced customer acquisition cost through the homebuyers accessed through its vertical software platform, proprietary property data collection and HOA's current licensure in 31 states. Porch plans to expand HOA's Insurtech footprint nationwide through its own insurance offering and HOA's existing independent agent distribution channels. Combining Porch's vast access to homebuyers and unique property data with HOA's strong pricing and claims experience, Porch believes it can become one of the largest InsurTech companies with significant advantages to driving rapid, long-term growth. For the full year 2021, the Company expects over $270 million of pro forma gross written premium between HOA and Porch's existing insurance agency. Agents and customers currently using HOA services should expect enhanced product offering and expanded opportunities through the Porch vertical technology systems and data.

EX-99.1 3 ex99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 FOR PR Exhibit 99.1 Chembio Completes Acquisition of Malaysia-based RVR Diagnostics RVR to Serve as Manufacturing and Distribution Facility for APAC Operations MEDFORD, NY, January 10, 2017 - Chembio Diagnostics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CEMI), a leader in point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tests for infectious diseases, today announced that the Company has completed the previously announced acquisition of RVR Diagnostics Sdn Bhd (RVR), a Malaysian, privately-held manufacturer and distributor of POC diagnostic tests for infectious diseases. In November 2016, Chembio entered into a definitive agreement to acquire RVR, subject to certain due diligence and other requirements. Under the terms of the agreement, Chembio will pay up to $1.5 million in cash and up to 291,066 shares of Chembio common stock, including $250,000 consisting of both cash and stock that is based on the achievement of certain milestones, and Chembio also will forgive $250,000 currently owed by RVR to Chembio. John Sperzel, Chembio's CEO, commented, "Chembio is committed to expanding our presence and product offerings in Southeast Asia and around the world. Along with the recent hiring of Robert Passas, Ph.D., to oversee the Company's growth in the EMEA and APAC regions, the acquisition of RVR Diagnostics is a critical component of this strategy. We believe the addition of a high-quality, low-cost manufacturing facility in Southeast Asia, where the population exceeds 600 million, is an important building block in Chembio's global plan. The team in Malaysia will continue to be led by Mac Vajuram, RVR's Managing Director, and Avijit Roy, RVR's Vice President, and we welcome all the RVR employees to the Chembio family". About Chembio Diagnostics Chembio Diagnostics, Inc. develops, manufactures, licenses and markets proprietary rapid diagnostic tests in the growing $8.0 billion point-of-care testing market.

EX-99.2 3 eh1201311_ex9902.htm EXHIBIT 99.2 eh1201311_ex9902.htm EXHIBIT 99.2 Spectrum Brands, Inc. 601 Rayovac Drive Madison WI 53711-2497 P.O. Box 44960 Madison WI 53744-4960 (608) 275-3340 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Investor/Media Contact: Dave Prichard 608.278.6141 Spectrum Brands Announces Assumption by Spectrum Brands, Inc. of the New Senior Notes in Connection with the Closing of the HHI Acquisition Madison, WI, December 17, 2012 - Spectrum Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPB) ("Spectrum Brands") announced today that the $520 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and U.S. $570 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes") (collectively, the "New Senior Notes") previously issued by Spectrum Brands Escrow Corp. were assumed by Spectrum Brands' wholly owned subsidiary Spectrum Brands, Inc. and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of Spectrum Brands' subsidiaries. The proceeds from the issuance of the New Senior Notes were initially deposited into an escrow account and the proceeds were released upon the consummation of the acquisition of the Hardware & Home Improvement Group ("HHI") of Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (NYSE: SWK) and the entry into a new senior secured term loan facility, which occurred concurrently with the assumption of the New Senior Notes. The net proceeds released from escrow were used to fund a portion of the purchase price and related fees and expenses in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of HHI for $1.4 billion and to fund the previously announced $50 million acquisition of a controlling stake in Shaser Bioscience, Inc. Spectrum Brands financed the remaining portion of the HHI acquisition, as well as refinanced its existing Term Loan B with new $800 million Senior Secured Term Loans (the "New Term Loans"). The New Senior Notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. buyers in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The New Senior Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an 1 applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of this release.

Burrows Vice President, Investor Relations 240-631-3280 [email protected] Media Contact: Lynn Kieffer Vice President, Corporate Communications 240-631-3391 [email protected] EMERGENT BIOSOLUTIONS COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF SPECIALTY VACCINES COMPANY PAXVAX GAITHERSBURG, Md., October 4, 2018 -Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE: EBS) announced today that it has completed its acquisition of PaxVax, a company focused on developing, manufacturing, and commercializing specialty vaccines that protect against existing and emerging infectious diseases. With the closing of this transaction, Emergent acquires two marketed vaccines - Vivotif ® (Typhoid Vaccine Live Oral Ty21a), the only oral vaccine licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention of typhoid fever, and Vaxchora ® (Cholera Vaccine, Live, Oral), the only FDA-licensed vaccine for the prevention of cholera, a potentially serious intestinal disease, caused by Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1 . The acquisition broadens the company's development pipeline with vaccines that address adenovirus types 4 and 7, which are common causes of acute respiratory disease, and chikungunya, a viral disease spread to humans by infected mosquitoes that can cause severely debilitating joint pain. The acquisition also expands the company's sales capabilities with a global specialty salesforce and marketing and distribution partners focused on the travelers' market and establishes an international manufacturing footprint with European-based cGMP biologics facilities. "Emergent is pleased with the closing of this transaction, which diversifies our customer base, expands our portfolio of both marketed and pipeline products, broadens our commercial and manufacturing capabilities, and strengthens our workforce of talented and committed professionals", said Abigail Jenkins, senior vice president and head of the Vaccines and Anti-Infectives Business Unit at Emergent BioSolutions. "We are delighted to welcome our new colleagues to Emergent. Together we will continue to grow our vaccines business in pursuit of our mission - to protect and enhance life". At the closing, the company paid a cash purchase price of approximately $270 million, exclusive of customary closing adjustments, using a combination of cash-on-hand and borrowings under its existing credit facility. 2018 Financial Forecast The company will be issuing financial results in early November for the three and nine months ended September 30, at which time it will provide an update on the impact of this transaction on full-year 2018 guidance. 1 About Emergent BioSolutions Emergent BioSolutions Inc. is a global life sciences company seeking to protect and enhance life by focusing on providing specialty products for civilian and military populations that address accidental, intentional, and naturally occurring public health threats.

EX-99.1 3 ex99-1.htm Exhibit 99.1 MPHASE ACQUIRES ASSETS OF CONSUMER ENGAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY COMPANY CLOSECOMMS LIMITED Gaithersburg, MD - May 15, 2020 - mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: XDSL) ("mPhase" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the acquisition of the assets of CloseComms Limited ("CloseComms"), a private United Kingdom company that has developed an application technology platform that helps businesses connect with, learn from, and engage customers beyond their four walls, while protecting the customers data and allowing them to remain anonymous. CloseComms currently operates under the name "21:32" and has offices in Wales (U.K.) and California (U.S.). CloseComms initial focus is on the quick service restaurant ("QSR") market. Under the asset purchase agreement, mPhase will issue 2,666,666 shares of restricted common stock and incorporate the CloseComms assets into a new wholly-owned consumer engagement subsidiary. Full details are available within the Form 8-K filed in conjunction with this announcement. The patented software technology can be integrated into a retailer's existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, giving retailers important customer data and enabling AI-enhanced, targeted promotions to drive store traffic and sales. The platform has a proven track record of 33% application retention after 30 days with a substantially lower than industry standard acquisition cost per customer. The technology is in the early stages of its roll-out phase, but has already attracted the interest of leading QSR customers. Notable early corporate clients include Subway, McDonalds, and Nathans; along with NCR as a channel partner. Initial revenue targets include more than a dozen QSR's with a combined footprint in excess of 46,000 locations, representing about 7% of the QSR universe in the U.S. Revenue is generated through a monthly per location subscription model. "This technology represents another step in our plan to add synergistic platform technologies with the common themes of recurring revenue, an AI element and open-ended growth potential", explained mPhase CEO Anshu Bhatnagar. "The strategic importance of this acquisition cannot be understated, particularly as it relates to the platform that we are developing in our Travel Buddhi division. CloseComms technology was the missing link in our ability to offer an end-to-end consumer engagement solution. Now, we have complementary AI-enhanced platforms that can connect consumers with products and services they desire at the right time and place, significantly increasing the potential for sales. We believe this will be a winning combination that will be highly attractive to many brands in the consumer space". The timing of this acquisition is at the front end of a sales cycle that will give mPhase its second stream of high-quality recurring revenue. Longer term, this business is modeled to have a multi-year expansion profile with sequential increases on a quarterly basis as new chains adopt the platform. As a result, the new CloseComms business is expected to have a material positive effect on mPhase's current $30 million annual sales forecast. The Company will update this forecast in the coming quarter as 2020 implementation schedules come into focus and are calendarized. About mPhase Technologies mPhase is a technology driven, innovative development company that creates and commercializes products and applications that impact everyday people. The Company is assembling industry-leading teams specializing in artificial intelligence, machine learning, software, consumer engagement, and other advanced technologies.

(OTCPK: AMTX), an advanced fuels and renewable chemicals company, announced today that the company has acquired Cilion, Inc., including a 55 million gallon per year (mgy) ethanol production plant located in Keyes, CA. In 2010, Aemetis entered into a multi-year project and lease agreement with Cilion to upgrade, restart, and operate the Cilion biofuels plant. Aemetis successfully retrofitted and then restarted the plant in April 2011, and has achieved continuous operations for more than one year. The acquisition of Cilion advances Aemetis' plans to utilize the existing ethanol plant's infrastructure to create a next-generation biorefinery producing advanced biofuels and renewable chemicals in addition to ethanol and animal feed products. I n addition to the Keyes, California ethanol plant, Cilion's other assets include spare parts and equipment that will be used at the plant. In 2011, Aemetis acquired Zymetis, Inc., a biotechnology company with a patented organism that enables the production of renewable advanced biofuels and biochemicals. "The acquisition of the Keyes plant accelerates our plan to expand this world-class ethanol production facility into a next-generation biorefinery capable of producing advanced renewable fuels and biochemicals", said Eric McAfee, Chairman and CEO of Aemetis. In conjunction with the acquisition, Third Eye Capital, Aemetis' existing senior lender, provided a $15 million term loan and an $18 million working capital financing facility to assist Aemetis in the acquisition and to provide ongoing working capital. --more- 1 Aemetis Announces Acquisition of Cilion Page Two "Our substantial ongoing commitment to Aemetis is demonstrative of our belief in the high quality assets and first-class team built under Eric McAfee's leadership", said Arif Bhalwani, President and CEO of Third Eye Capital.

EX-99.1 8 v09481_ex99-1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 BIB HOLDINGS COMPLETES TRANSACTION WITH INCODE CORPORATION New Jersey, November 30, 2004 - BIB Holdings Ltd. ("BIB") (OTCBB: BIBO), today announced the completion of a merger by its subsidiary, BIB Acquisition, Inc., with and into Incode Corporation ("Incode"), a privately held technology services company whose business model is the acquisition, development and commercialization of innovative subscription-based eBusinesses. Simultaneously with the completion of the Incode merger, BIB disposed of its apparel division, BIB Ltd., and all of its assets in return for the assumption by the purchaser of all of its liabilities. The spin-off of the apparel division increased the Company's relative working capital position by about $880,000 and decreased the Company's total liabilities by about $2.7 million, which is the equivalent of about $0.013 per common share. James Grainer, Incode's president and chief financial officer, said "we are thrilled to have completed these transactions and we look forward with great anticipation to scaling our model. We believe that a public platform will give us competitive advantages relative to the acquisition and development of our intended portfolio of successful eBusinesses". Incode's goal is to sequentially develop numerous subscription-based eBusinesses that are capable of generating recurring revenue streams and above-average operating margins. Its tactical plan is to develop and/or acquire these businesses sequentially, driving each to critical mass and leveraging their respective earnings into the continued development of additional subscription-based eBusinesses. The first of these eBusinesses will be in the lucrative online personals industry. In connection with the completion of the relevant agreements, the Company issued one million shares of its Series A preferred stock. Each share of Series A preferred stock is entitled to four hundred votes at any meeting of the Company's shareholders, and is convertible into two hundred shares of common stock at any time after December 31, 2005. ABOUT INCODE CORPORATION Incode was founded to acquire, develop and commercialize innovative and profitable subscription-based eBusinesses in the online dating, information, retail, industrial, and financial services sectors. Incode recently announced its plans to acquire an industrial services subscription portal, several online dating services, and to develop a streaming financial and market information service in connection with the merger with BIB. Additional information is available online at www.incodetech.com.

(NYSE:AYE) and its subsidiary, Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC, today announced that they have completed the sale of their equity interest and power rights in the Ohio Valley Electric Corporation (OVEC). Cash proceeds from the sale total $102 million. "Selling this non-strategic asset completes another step in restoring Allegheny Energy's financial strength", said Paul J. Evanson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allegheny Energy. "We made good progress toward our goals in 2004, and we're on track to achieve our objective of reducing debt by $1.5 billion by year-end 2005". The buyer, Buckeye Power Generating, LLC, acquired a nine percent equity interest in OVEC and associated power rights. Allegheny Energy Supply will retain the rights to nine percent of OVEC's power output until March 12, 2006. Several electric utilities in the Ohio Valley region own OVEC, which has two coal-fired power plants - Kyger Creek (1,028 megawatts) in Cheshire, Ohio, and Clifty Creek (1,228 megawatts) in Madison, Indiana. Allegheny Energy and its Monongahela Power Company subsidiary own a 3.5 percent equity interest and power rights in OVEC, which are not included in the Buckeye transaction. Buckeye is an affiliate of Buckeye Power, Inc., of Columbus, Ohio. Buckeye Power, Inc. is a generation and transmission cooperative supplying power and energy to its member electric distribution cooperatives in Ohio. The cooperatives' certified service territory covers nearly 40 percent of the land area in the state, in portions of 77 of Ohio's 88 counties. They serve more than 360,000 homes, farms, businesses and industries. More information about Buckeye Power is available at www.buckeyepower.com.

EX-99.3 6 sola_ex99-3.htm PRESS RELEASE sola_ex99-3 Exhibit 99.3 Sollensys Corp Completes Acquisition of Eagle Lake Laboratories, Inc. PALM BAY, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2020 / Sollensys Corp. (OTC PINK: SOLS) Sollensys Corp today announced the completion of its transaction to acquire Eagle Lake Laboratories, Inc. "We are very pleased to reach this milestone of combining the Eagle Lake and Sollensys teams into one family. There is some very important work ahead of us as we strive to deliver on the vast potential that blockchain technology has to offer", said Don Beavers, CEO of Sollensys Corp. Mr. Beavers continues, "Together the two companies bring together the resources to provide improved cybersecurity opportunities around the world through our continuing efforts to keep our clients data safe. As ransomware and other malware attacks become increasingly common, Sollensys Corp. stands ready to answer our client's needs. Today's transaction creates real synergy as it provides a more transparent business structure, benefiting clients and shareholders alike". As a result of the merger, Eagle Lakes Laboratories, Inc. has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Sollensys Corp. More details are available on the company website. ABOUT SOLLENSYS CORP. Sollensys Corp. is a U.S. based, public company specializing in data management and preparation. The Sollensys Corp. team is comprised of academics, PhDs and industry experts with decades of data security management experience. Sollensys Corp. manufactures the Blockchain Archive ServerTM that maintains a redundant, immutable backup of data. In this innovative product, redundant backups and block chains work together to assure not only the physical security of the database but also the integrity of the information held within. Uniquely, the Blockchain Archive ServerTM works with the client's existing equipment without the need to replace or eliminate any part of the client's data security already in place. The Blockchain Archive ServerTM is compatible with virtually all hardware and software combinations currently in use. The Company's Blockchain Archive ServerTM encrypts, fragments and distributes data across thousands of secure nodes every day, which makes it virtually impossible for hackers to compromise. The product is a turn-key solution that can stand alone or seamlessly integrate into an existing data infrastructure to quickly recover from a cyber-attack. We believe that Sollensys Corp. is positioned to become a leader in commercial blockchain applications due to its technology's low cost and short time to implement, which is far less than existing solutions.

EX-99.1 4 ex991pressrelease040318.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit USA Compression Partners and Energy Transfer Complete Previously Announced Transactions Austin and Dallas, Texas, April 2, 2018 - USA Compression Partners, LP (NYSE: USAC) ("USAC"), Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ETP) ("ETP") and Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (NYSE: ETE) ("ETE") today announced that USAC has (i) completed its previously announced acquisition of the CDM compression business ("CDM") from ETP, in exchange for $1.232 billion in cash (including customary closing adjustments), approximately 19.2 million USAC common units and approximately 6.4 million USAC Class B units, and (ii) cancelled its incentive distribution rights and converted its economic general partner interest into a non-economic general partner interest, in exchange for the issuance to its general partner of 8.0 million USAC common units. The USAC Class B units issued to ETP will not pay quarterly cash distributions for the first four quarters following closing and will convert into USAC common units on a one-for-one basis after such time. USAC funded the cash consideration for the transaction with proceeds from the issuance in private placements of preferred units and senior notes, and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. In addition to the above transactions, ETE completed its acquisition of USAC's general partner and approximately 12.5 million USAC common units from USA Compression Holdings, LLC in exchange for $250 million in cash. CDM currently owns and operates approximately 1.6 million horsepower of natural gas compression and is focused primarily on large horsepower applications. The acquisition of CDM is expected to provide significant benefits for USAC unitholders as the combined business will have increased geographic coverage and will be one of the leading domestic compression providers. The acquisition further expands USAC's geographic presence into regions where USAC was previously underrepresented and results in USAC having broad coverage across U.S. regions. As part of its overall service offerings, CDM also provides a full range of gas treating and emissions testing services. CDM's treating activities are complementary to USAC's growing station services offerings, in which USAC provides turnkey gas handling solutions for customers. With over 70% of horsepower greater than 1,000 horsepower and an average unit size of approximately 700 horsepower, the CDM fleet has an average age of approximately 7 years and a current operating utilization rate of over 90%. On a pro forma combined basis, USAC owns and operates a compression fleet of approximately 3.4 million horsepower. The transaction is expected to strengthen ETP's balance sheet by allowing ETP to use the cash proceeds from the transactions to reduce leverage. ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIPS USA Compression Partners, LP (NYSE: USAC) is a growth-oriented Delaware limited partnership that is one of the nation's largest independent providers of compression services in terms of total compression unit horsepower. USAC partners with a broad customer base composed of producers, processors, gatherers and transporters of natural gas. USAC focuses on providing compression services to infrastructure applications primarily in high volume gathering systems, processing facilities and transportation applications. More information is available at www.usacompression.com. Energy Transfer Equity, L.P.

EX-99.1 3 d510705dex991.htm EX-99.1 EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 For Immediate Release Contact: Media Inquiries: Karen Cutler (215) 238-4063 [email protected] Investor Inquiries: Kate Pearlman (215) 409-7287 [email protected] Aramark Completes Acquisition of Avendra Combination Enhances Purchasing Capability and Extends Industry Reach Philadelphia, PA, December 11, 2017 - Aramark (NYSE: ARMK) announced today that it completed the previously announced acquisition of Avendra for approximately $1.35 billion, or a net purchase price of $1.05 billion after adjusting for the value of the anticipated tax benefits. Avendra is the leading hospitality procurement services provider in North America, managing nearly $5 billion in annual purchasing spend for over 650 companies at more than 8,500 locations, including over half of the Top 30 hotel chains. Avendra was founded in 2001 by five hospitality leaders: Marriott, Hyatt, Fairmont Hotels, ClubCorp and IHG. "By uniting the proven purchasing and supply chain management expertise of our two companies, we will create increased scale and improve service levels for our customers, strengthen our industry reach, provide new opportunities for our associates and drive sustained shareholder value", said Eric J. Foss, Chairman, President and CEO of Aramark. "I welcome Avendra's talented and experienced team to the Aramark family and look forward to the bright future we will build together". The merger also creates opportunities for Aramark and Avendra to expand their customer base outside of their traditional industries. Additionally, Aramark anticipates annual procurement cost synergies of approximately $40 million, which it expects will be fully realized by the third fiscal year after closing. Avendra will continue to operate under the Avendra brand name, and its headquarters will remain in Rockville, Maryland.

EX-99.1 2 v243693_ex99-1.htm EX-99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ENERJEX ANNOUNCES $4 MILLION NON-CORE ASSET SALE San Antonio, Texas (December 21, 2011) - EnerJex Resources, Inc. (OTCMarkets:ENRJ) ("EnerJex" or the "Company"), a domestic onshore oil company, announced today that it has sold certain non-core assets located in Eastern Kansas for $4 million in cash. This transaction is expected to further streamline the Company's operations and lower its cost structure by improving economies of scale in EnerJex's core areas of operation. Proceeds from the sale are expected to be utilized to further develop the Company's Mississippian Project in Kansas. EnerJex's Mississippian Project consists of a 90% working interest in 2,820 acres plus a 90% working interest in an additional 1,280 acres that the Company may acquire upon achieving certain drilling milestones. EnerJex has identified hundreds of infill drilling locations on these leases, which management believes will yield approximately 3 million barrels of recoverable oil. The Company intends to update investors on its development plans for this project in the coming weeks. In addition, EnerJex will soon provide an operational update on its Rantoul Project, where the Company has been actively drilling new wells for the past two months. Management Comments EnerJex's CEO, Robert Watson, Jr., commented, "This is an important transaction for EnerJex because it will enable the Company to aggressively develop its Mississippian Project with no dilution to shareholders. It has been less than twelve months since EnerJex was transformed and I am proud of everything our team has accomplished. The Company's Board of Directors remains intensely focused on per-share value creation, and we are pursuing additional strategic initiatives aimed at increasing oil production, reserves, and cash flow in an accretive manner for shareholders". About EnerJex Resources, Inc. EnerJex is a domestic onshore oil company with assets located in Eastern Kansas and South Texas. The Company's primary business is to acquire, develop, explore and produce oil properties onshore in the United States.

Every Integrity customer is also an AGS customer, so this should be a relatively seamless transition and one that gives us an opportunity to work with operators to ensure they are getting the best performance from their Integrity-placed games". Under the terms of the deal, AGS acquired all issued and outstanding common shares of Integrity Gaming Corp. for a cash payment of CAD$0.46 per share, reflecting a total transaction value of USD$49 million, which includes repaying USD$35 million of Integrity's outstanding debt. The acquisition was funded with cash on the balance sheet. Integrity's installed base of more than 2,700 Class III and Class II games in Oklahoma and Texas includes slot machines manufactured by various slot suppliers, including AGS, in approximately 30 tribal casinos. Now that the transaction has closed, Integrity's brand, operations, and team will be integrated under AGS, with centralized service and support managed from AGS' Oklahoma City, Oklahoma offices.

EX-99 3 telkonet_8k-ex99.htm PRESS RELEASE Press release Exhibit 99 Contact: Michael Porter President Porter, LeVay & Rose, Inc. 212-564-4700 [email protected] www.plrinvest.com For Immediate Release: February 1, 2006 NEWS RELEASE Telkonet Concludes Acquisition of Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc. Germantown, MD, Telkonet, Inc. (Amex: TKO), the leader in providing powerline carrier (PLC) networking solutions using existing electrical wiring , today announced the conclusion of the acquisition of a 90% controlling interest in Microwave Satellite Technologies (MST), a communications technology company that offers complete sales, installation, and service of VSAT and business television networks, and is a full-service national Internet Service Provider (ISP). The $9 million cash and stock transaction will allow Telkonet to provide a complete "triple-play" solution to subscribers of HDTV as well as VoIP telephony and NuVision broadband Internet access to commercial multi-dwelling units and hotels. Telkonet previously announced that the two parties had entered into a definitive agreement for this transaction in December of 2005 and now the formal closing of the transaction has occurred pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement. E. Barry Smith, CFO of Telkonet said, "With the MST acquisition, the combination of Telkonet's iWire System™ and MST's "triple play" solution will generate a recurring revenue stream from its subscriber base while creating significant value for our shareholders". Frank Matarazzo, President and Founder of MST said, "Having worked in the private cable and satellite communications industry for the past 25 years and having been exposed to the introduction and obsolescence of platforms, rarely do you see the convergence of so many technologies that make the introduction of the Telkonet iWire System™ ideal for rapid deployment in so many areas of opportunity. The world is going IP and we will capitalize on that movement by providing IP-based services over the Telkonet iWire System™ to commercial office buildings, residential buildings, hotels and more. In-building broadband over powerline technology, specifically the Telkonet PLC solution, is a revolution in the technological world we live in, only rivaled by the introduction of the PC in the mid-to-late 1970's.

EX-99.1 3 dex991.htm PRESS RELEASE Press Release Exhibit 99.1 December 7, 2004 Company Press Release Source: Sonic Innovations, Inc. Contact: Stephen L. Wilson Andrew G. Raguskus Senior Vice President and CFO President and CEO 801-365-2804 801-365-2800 SONIC INNOVATIONS PURCHASES TYMPANY, INC. Sonic Innovations Announces the Formation of The Hearing Health Network ™ and the Purchase of Tympany, Inc. Company Aims to Significantly Expand Access For The Hearing-Impaired Salt Lake City, Utah, December 7, 2004 - Sonic Innovations, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNCI), today announced its plan to improve and expand access to hearing health care in the United States through the purchase of Tympany, Inc. and the creation of a new network - The Hearing Health Network ™ . "The Hearing Health Network is a collaboration between physicians and hearing care professionals designed to significantly improve the identification, diagnosis and treatment of hearing-impaired individuals", stated Andy Raguskus, President and CEO of Sonic Innovations. Raguskus continued, "Physicians are key influencers in the hearing-impaired patient's decision to seek help, but until now most physicians have lacked a referral system for patients requiring specialized hearing services". The National Institute of Health estimates that of the 28 million Americans who suffer from some degree of hearing loss, only 6 million (or one in five) are being treated with hearing amplification. According to MarkeTrak - the most widely recognized studies on the hearing aid industry - there are a number of barriers that prevent these patients from seeking the professional help they need, including social stigma, denial and uncertainty about what to do. These same studies show that a hearing-impaired patient becomes five to eight times more likely to seek help when advised to do so by his or her physician. 1 Professional organizations representing hearing care professionals and physicians recognize that Primary Care Physicians need to become a critical resource for identifying hearing loss and recommending appropriate treatment. The Hearing Health Network advances these objectives by improving hearing loss identification by physicians and other health care providers and increasing physician referrals to hearing care professionals. Integral to expanding physician involvement is providing physicians with effective tools to identify hearing loss. To provide such tools, Sonic Innovations is purchasing Tympany, Inc., a privately held audiological diagnostic equipment company headquartered outside Houston, Texas. "Tympany's proprietary, automated diagnostic hearing testing device, the Otogram ™ , makes it possible for physicians to efficiently and effectively identify patients with hearing loss", stated Christopher L. Wasden, President and CEO of Tympany. The Otogram removes many barriers associated with hearing loss identification and allows the physician to appropriately test and then refer hearing-impaired patients to hearing care professionals in The Hearing Health Network. Terms and conditions of the acquisition include an upfront payment of $2 million in cash and Sonic Innovations stock and a significant earnout over three years depending on combined company results. "By establishing a relationship with physicians that refer to a network of hearing care professionals", stated Raguskus, "we are taking the first steps towards advancing the cause for better hearing and servicing a greatly underserved hearing-impaired population". Sonic Innovations designs, develops, manufactures and markets advanced digital hearing aids designed to provide the highest levels of satisfaction for hearing-impaired consumers. Capitalizing on its advanced understanding of human hearing, the Company has developed patented digital signal processing, or DSP, technologies and embedded them in the smallest single-chip DSP platform ever installed in a hearing aid. The Company believes its hearing aids set the standard for consumer satisfaction because they deliver more natural, localized sound and can provide for better speech intelligibility in the presence of background noise than competing hearing aids.

EX-99.1 2 dex991.htm PRESS RELEASE OF IMPCO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. DATED APRIL 4, 2005 Press release of IMPCO Technologies, Inc. dated April 4, 2005 Exhibit 99.1 IMPCO Technologies Announces Completion of BRC Acquisition Cerritos, California // April 4, 2005 // PRNewswire // IMPCO Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: "IMCO") announced today that it has completed the acquisition of B.R.C., Societa a Responsibilita Limitata, headquartered in Cherasco, Italy. BRC is a leading developer and manufacturer of alternative fuel systems and components. This was the final step in this transaction, which involved a purchase of 50% of BRC's outstanding equity interests from its founders, Mariano Costamagna and Pier Antonio Costamagna. In exchange for the founders' equity interest the company issued 5,098,284 shares of IMPCO common stock and paid approximately US$10 million in cash. IMPCO previously had acquired 50% of BRC's equity interest from the founders and their families in a series of related transactions between October 2002 and July 2003. In connection with this transaction, Mariano Costamagna became IMPCO's chief executive officer on January 1, 2005. Mr. Costamagna was very optimistic about the outcome of the closing of the transaction, saying that, "We are very happy to have completed this transaction, which represents the culmination of nearly three years' work and solidifies the relationship between these companies. Most importantly, we can now begin to focus our attention on our core business operations: using our financial resources efficiently to exploit what appears to be tremendous market potential. With the recent, rapid increases in the cost of crude oil", Mr. Costamagna noted, "there has never been a better time for us to improve our operations and our financial results." In order to realize on these opportunities, Mr. Costamagna stated that the new management team will: . Make the best efforts to reduce operating costs with the tremendous synergies that we expect to generate as a consequence of the transaction. . Approach the company's business from a commercial perspective, "focusing on our core competencies of developing, designing and manufacturing alternative fuel systems components", said Mr. Costamagna. . Adopt a plan for restructuring the company to improve operating efficiency and reliability. . Leverage the complementary product and geographic strengths that exist among the newly combined entities, IMPCO and BRC. IMPCO also announced the appointment of a new independent director, Marco Di Toro. Mr. Di Toro is a partner in the law firm of Grosso, de Rienzo, Riscossa, Gerlin e Associati in Turin, Italy and holds a law degree from Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan (Catholic University of Sacred Heart of Jesus, Milan). Mr. Di Toro is expected to serve on the company's nominating committee and compensation committee.

EX-99.1 2 tv122110pr.htm PRESS RELEASE tv122110pr.htm Exhibit 99.1 Tri-Valley Corporation Reaches Definitive Agreement to Sell Its Admiral Calder Quarry in Alaska All Cash Transaction Strengthens Capital Structure by Approximately $1.5 Million Bakersfield, CA, December 22, 2010 - Tri-Valley Corporation (NYSE Amex: TIV) today announced a definitive agreement with Columbia River Carbonates for the sale of its Admiral Calder calcium carbonate quarry located on Prince of Wales Island in Alaska. The total purchase price was $2.5 million, structured in an all-cash transaction. Closing is expected by the end of the year. Tri-Valley anticipates it will net $1.5 million in cash proceeds from the proposed transaction and expects to generate a gain on the sale of $1.4 million. "The proceeds from the sale of our Admiral Calder property and retirement of $1.0 million in related debt significantly strengthen our Company's capital structure", stated Mr. Maston N. Cunningham, President and CEO of Tri-Valley Corporation. "With this transaction, the recent sale of Series A convertible preferred stock to our Chairman (resulting in $3.6 million in additional equity), and the issuance of additional shares under the shelf registration that we announced on November 3 rd , we believe we are close to complying with the shareholders' equity required to maintain our listing on the NYSE Amex". "This important milestone for Tri-Valley is the first step in the execution of our previously-announced strategy to monetize our mineral assets in Alaska", continued Mr. Cunningham. "We continue to seek a strong operational partner with financial resources to assist us in the development of our Shorty Creek gold prospect in Alaska. Our operational focus remains on driving oil production at our Pleasant Valley oil sands project in Oxnard and the Claflin oil project near Bakersfield, California. We believe these efforts will result in enhanced valuation for our shareholders as we demonstrate growth in revenue from oil production and the ability to generate cash from operations". C. K. Cooper & Company acted as financial advisor to the Company in the transaction.

(June 19, 2012) - EpiCept Corporation (Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Exchange and OTCQX: EPCT) today announced that it has sold all of its rights to Ceplene® in the territories previously licensed to Meda AB, and a portion of its remaining Ceplene® inventory, to Meda for approximately $2.6 million in cash and the assumption of EpiCept's ongoing responsibilities related to the manufacture and maintenance of the marketing authorization of Ceplene® in the European Union. The cash received from this transaction together with the savings from future expenses, after making a partial prepayment on EpiCept's existing term loan with MidCap Financial LLC of approximately $0.8 million, will enable EpiCept to operate into the fourth quarter 2012 without further financing. Under the terms of the transaction, Meda has as of the closing date assumed responsibility for the manufacturing of Ceplene® in the territories previously licensed to Meda and will absorb all of the remaining expenses relating to the post-approval clinical study of Ceplene ® that is required by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). EpiCept has also agreed to relinquish all future milestone payments and royalty on future sales of Ceplene® by Meda. In conjunction with the closing of this transaction EpiCept will close its EpiCept GmbH facility in Munich, Germany. Jack Talley, President and CEO of EpiCept, commented, "This transaction is important to EpiCept because it strengthens our liquidity position, saves capital by eliminating our ongoing financial commitment to Ceplene® in Europe, and allows us to focus resources on our other products in development, notably AmiKet™. We are pleased that we have been able to complete this transaction and look forward to working closely with Meda in the transitioning efforts". EpiCept maintains full ownership of Ceplene® in those countries not previously licensed to Meda, including all of North and South America. The Company's agreement with Megapharm Ltd. for the sales of Ceplene® in Israel is not a part of the transaction. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. acted as financial adviser to EpiCept in this transaction. EpiCept engaged SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. in January 2012 to assist in exploring strategic alternatives to maximize the commercial opportunity of AmiKet™ for the treatment of CIPN following taxane-based therapy. The sale of licensed Ceplene® rights to Meda provides additional liquidity to the Company's operations and may enhance EpiCept's ability to finalize a transaction with potential acquirers or with investors or licensors of AmiKet™. About EpiCept Corporation EpiCept is focused on the development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products for the treatment of pain and cancer. The Company's pain portfolio includes AmiKet™, a prescription topical analgesic cream in late-stage clinical development designed to provide effective long-term relief of pain associated with peripheral neuropathies. The Company's lead oncology product is Ceplene ® , which has been granted full marketing authorization by the European Commission for the remission maintenance and prevention of relapse in adult patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in first remission. The Company has other oncology drug candidates currently in clinical development that were discovered using in-house technology and have been shown to act as vascular disruption agents in a variety of solid tumors.

(OTC Bulletin Board: MSHI - News), a carrier class communications technology company that specializes in providing "quadruple play" services consisting of video, voice, Internet and Wi-Fi to multi-tenant unit and multi-dwelling unit residential, hospitality and commercial properties, announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Microwave Satellite Technologies, Inc.

The Company also has leased 1400 square feet of space in Newport Office Center I. "Our agreement with Newport not only provides us with an opportunity to increase our revenue by doubling our customer base, but it affords access to the tremendous portfolio of the LeFrak Organization", remarked Frank Matarazzo, CEO and founder of MST (NuVisions(TM)). "We will now be providing our bundle of data and video products to over 120 commercial customers, including Marriott, Sears, and UBS Financial, which advances our strategy of gaining high-revenue business subscribers who may have been underserved or ignored by our competitors in the region." MST will also launch its new IPTV service to Newport's residential and business customers, who will have access to this advanced service due to the community's existing bandwidth infrastructure. The Company's new location in Newport will mark a major accomplishment for MST (NuVisions(TM)), as it continues to expand beyond Manhattan.

EX-99.1 9 exhibitninetynineone.htm EX 99.1 exhibitninetynineone.htm Exhibit 99.1 Living 3D Holdings, Inc. Enters 3D Business with Acquisition PHOENIX, AZ - December 8, 2011. Living 3D Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCBB: CCSG), announced today that it has acquired Living 3D Holdings, Ltd., a privately held company ("Living 3D"), focused on the marketing and sale of 3D image display devices in China. Living 3D, which is based in China, is in the development stage and has concentrated on the markets for 3D touch pads, 3D indoor and outdoor light emitting diode (LED) displays and 3D televisions. These products are based on "auto stereoscopic 3D" technology, or auto 3D, meaning that viewers are not required to wear 3D glasses in order to experience the 3D effects of the screen, and instant switching between two dimensional, or 2D, and 3D viewing is enabled. Living 3D's image display devices are designed and manufactured by third parties using original equipment manufacturer parts and the technology and know-how of two of its directors and officers. While its sales to date have focused on customers utilizing its products in media and advertising, 3D display products are applicable in a wide range of industries, including entertainment, education, consumer electronics, medical diagnosis and scientific research. Living 3D has conducted limited sales marketing efforts to date. All of its sales have been to government and research entities and educational institutions in China and consisted of large 3D LED displays (approximately three by three meters), 3D TV's and 3D panels. Living 3D was incorporated on June 23, 2008 in the British Virgin Islands and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on December 8, 2011 when its shareholders purchased 3,627,426 shares of common stock from certain shareholders of the Company and exchanged all of their shares in Living 3D for 62,590,880 shares of common stock of the Company. After the transactions, the shareholders of Living 3D own approximately 95% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. In connection with the transaction, Jimmy Kent-Lam Wong, Chang Li, Kin Wah Ngai and Lin Su, all of whom are principal shareholders of the Company, became our directors and officers, replacing our former board of directors and officers. Mr. Wong is the new Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Li is the Chief Technology Officer; Mr. Ngai is the Chief Financial Officer; and Mr. Su is the Secretary. At the point of the acquisition, the Company had no operations and was seeking new business opportunities. It was originally named Concrete Casting Incorporated (under which name its stock is now traded), had changed its name to AirWare International Corp. in July 2010 and finally had changed its name to Living 3D Holdings, Inc. in September 2011. For further information contact www.living3d.com. This Press Release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based largely on the expectations or forecasts of future events, can be affected by inaccurate assumptions, and are subject to various business risks and known and unknown uncertainties, a number of which are beyond the control of management. Therefore, the actual results could differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in information in this Release. A wide variety of factors that may cause the actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: the Company's ability to raise sufficient capital to implement its business plan; its ability to have its product offerings work as planned; whether there will be a commercial market for its products; its ability to market its products, commence revenue operations and then achieve profitable results of operation; whether the technology and know-how in the products it sells can be adapted to new and different uses; competition from larger, more established companies with far greater economic and human resources; its ability to attract and retain customers and quality employees; the effect of changing economic conditions; and changes in government regulations, tax rates and similar matters. These cautionary statements should not be construed as exhaustive or as any admission as to the adequacy of the Company's disclosures. The Company cannot predict or determine after the fact what factors would cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements or other statements. In addition, the reader should consider statements that include the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates", "plans", "projections" or other expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends to be uncertain and forward-looking. The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information respecting factors that could materially affect the Company after its acquisition of Living 3D will be contained in a Report on Form 8-K to be filed next week with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Creates a Global Leader in Advanced Messaging, Expands International Presence and Creates Opportunity for Significant Operating Synergy NORCROSS, GA, October 21, 2010 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - EasyL ink Services International Corporation ("EasyLink" or "Company") (NasdaqCM: ESIC) (http://www.easylink.com), a global provider of comprehensive messaging services and e-commerce solutions , today announced the acquisition of the PGiSend and PGiNotify advanced messaging businesses from Premiere Global Services, Inc. (NYSE: PGI), through the purchase of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xpedite Systems, LLC and its subsidiaries ("Xpedite") for $105 million in cash. Xpedite is a global leader in providing advanced messaging services that include a full suite of fax and notification services.

Many of world's most powerful, respected, and well run companies, including the majority of the Fortune 500, are using EasyLink to support one or more of their key business processes through its portfolio of network or "cloud" based service offerings. "The acquisition of Xpedite is directly aligned with our core strategy of acquiring complementary businesses within our existing markets." said Tom Stallings, CEO of EasyLink. "Xpedite will add a strong portfolio of advanced messaging services and a global set of customers to EasyLink which will allow us to continue to build upon our current success in the enterprise market. This acquisition brings together two of the most knowledgeable, experienced and customer-trusted teams in the enterprise messaging business into a single, global entity". EasyLink recapitalized its existing debt and paid for the transaction with $5 million of cash on hand and a new credit facility consisting of a $110 million term loan and a $20 million revolver. EasyLink's current lead lender, SunTrust Bank, continues to lead the facility and has been joined by all of the current lending group plus two new participants.

EX-99.01 7 v390651_ex99-01.htm EXHIBIT 99.01 Exhibit 99.01 WPCS Closes on Sale of Seattle Operations Sale provides nearly $1.5 million in working capital SUISUN, CA - (Marketwired - October 3 , 2014) - WPCS International Incorporated (NASDAQ: WPCS), which specializes in contracting services for communications infrastructure and the development of a digital currency trading platform, today announced that on September 30, 2014, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of WPCS International - Seattle, Inc. (the "Seattle Operations"), to EC Company ("EC"), an Oregon-based electrical contracting company. Sebastian Giordano, Interim CEO of WPCS, commented, "After having successfully disposed of our two unprofitable operations in Australia and Trenton, the sale of our Seattle Operations provides vital cash for the Company as we continue our restructuring efforts". The Company sold substantially all of the assets of the Seattle Operations to EC for an all-cash purchase price of approximately $2,120,000. The final purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the net tangible asset value ("NTAV") of the Seattle Operations as of September 30, 2014. Prior to closing, the parties agreed that the closing NTAV of the Seattle Operations was approximately $1,870,000. The Company received approximately $1,460,000 in cash, while approximately $410,000 was held in escrow for the payment of certain payroll liabilities. In addition, 90 days from the closing date, the Company could receive the remaining $250,000, which is also currently being held in escrow, dependent upon the final NATV calculation. Mr. Giordano continued, "Transactionally, we are now focused on selling our China joint venture interest, which would bring additional working capital into the Company, as we continue to manage our profitable Suisun operations, develop our digital currency business and work towards successfully completing our restructuring". About WPCS International Incorporated WPCS operates in two business segments including: (1) providing communications infrastructure contracting services to the public services, healthcare, energy and corporate enterprise markets worldwide; and (2) developing a digital currency trading platform.

EX-99 2 exhibit99_bickford.htm EXHIBIT 99: PRESS RELEASE DATED JULY 1, 2013 exhibit99_bickford Exhibit 99 Contact: Roger R. Hopkins, Chief Accounting Officer Phone: (615) 890-9100 NHI Announces $135 Million Acquisition of 17 Assisted Living Communities Increases 2013 Normalized FFO Guidance MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - (July 1, 2013) National Health Investors, Inc. (NYSE:NHI) announced today that its RIDEA joint-venture with Bickford Senior Living ("Bickford") has acquired 17 assisted living and memory care communities for a total purchase price of $135 million. NHI owns 85% of the joint-venture and Bickford owns 15%. The acquisition brings the total number of properties in the joint-venture to 30, of which 3 are under construction. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC served as financial advisor to NHI on this transaction. The 17 assisted living and memory care communities are comprised of 14 communities purchased from a subsidiary of Care Investment Trust, Inc. (OTCQX:CVTR) for approximately $123 million, and 3 communities purchased from affiliates of Bickford for approximately $12 million. Justin Hutchens, NHI's CEO and President stated, "This acquisition is evidence of the positive benefits of our joint-venture with Bickford which offers both organic and external growth potential. This relationship combines Bickford's twenty-plus years of experience in compassionately caring for seniors with the financial strength of NHI". "NHI has been the perfect partner for us since 2009", said Bickford president Michael Eby. "Since we both share the same resident-focused philosophy, our growth plans are truly aligned. We are very excited about our future with Justin and his team as our partner". Key Transaction Highlights . 17 facilities totaling 750 units with 90.6% average occupancy and an average age of 12 years . Locations: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska . 17 facilities have trailing twelve months net operating income of approximately $11.5 million after a 5% management fee to the operator and $500 per unit of capital expenditures . Acquisition financed by: (1) borrowings of approximately $56.2 million on NHI's revolving credit facility with interest rates of LIBOR plus 140bps; and (2) assumption of approximately $78.8 million of Fannie Mae secured debt maturing on July 1, 2015 (repayable without penalty December 31, 2014) with interest rates between 6.845% and 7.17% Increase in 2013 Normalized FFO Guidance The Company currently forecasts Normalized FFO for 2013 from $3.48 to $3.54 per diluted common share. The Company's guidance range for the full year 2013 for Normalized FFO per share, with underlying assumptions and timing of certain transactions, is set forth and reconciled below. The Company expects to report its results for the second quarter during the week of August 5, 2013. Full-Year 2013 Range Low High Net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders $ 2.74 $ 2.77 Plus: Real estate depreciation 0.60 0.63 Plus: Loan impairment 0.14 0.14 Normalized FFO per diluted common share $ 3.48 $ 3.54 The Company's guidance range reflects the existence of volatile economic conditions, but does not assume any material deterioration in tenant credit quality and/or performance of its portfolio. The guidance is based on a number of assumptions, many of which are outside the Company's control and all of which are subject to change. The low end of our guidance range assumes a baseline from the first quarter of 2013, the recently announced transactions, the timing for further terming out of debt on our revolving credit facility and assuming 3% growth from our Bickford joint venture. On the top end of that range, we are adding in assumptions for investment activity and a 6% growth from our Bickford joint venture. The Company expects to make new investments in health care real estate during the remainder of 2013 that meet its underwriting criteria and where the spreads over its cost of capital generate sufficient returns to its shareholders. These new investments are expected to be funded by the Company's liquid investments and by short-term and long-term debt financing. The Company's guidance may change if actual results vary from these assumptions. About National Health Investors National Health Investors, Inc.

Specifically, we will leverage FansTang's growing portfolio of innovative celebrity, sports and entertainment content; social media community of more than 130 million followers in China; proven distribution and monetization strategies; and its cross-platform sales capabilities to realize synergies within our existing assets in travel and entertainment, social media and lifestyle to generate traffic and grow revenue. Furthermore, we expect this transaction will be accretive in 2016 as we benefit from synergies and accelerate monetization opportunities throughout the business. We are already hitting the ground running with several planned campaigns expected to roll out before the end of the year". Adam Roseman, co-founder and CEO of CBG, stated, "I am extremely excited for our unmatched cross-border team to be joining forces with Kai-Shing Tao and his proven team at Remark Media.

EX-99.6 7 exhibit996.htm EXHIBIT 99.6 PRESS RELEASE exhibit996.htm - Generated by SEC Publisher for SEC Filing Exhibit 99.6 July 13, 2011 09:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time Abakan Exercises Initial Option to Acquire a Majority Interest in MesoCoat Miami, Florida (OTCQB:ABKI) -- Abakan Inc. is pleased to announce that it has exercised its option under a phased investment agreement to purchase a controlling interest in MesoCoat, Inc. MesoCoat is an Ohio-based company with a patented suite of environmentally-friendly, long-lasting ceramic-metallic (cermets) coatings and a proprietary coating process that counters many of the degradation or corrosion issues crucial to productivity in the oil and gas, aerospace, chemical processing and infrastructure industries. Under the terms of the three-phased investment agreement, Abakan has exercised its first option to purchase an additional 17% of MesoCoat raising its equity interest to 51% on a fully diluted basis. Abakan also holds a minority equity interest of 41% in MesoCoat's former parent company Powdermet, Inc. On combining its equity interests Abakan now holds a 71.1% direct and indirect stake in MesoCoat. The exercise of the first option now entitles Abakan to make an additional appointment to the five member MesoCoat board of directors, two of which members are currently Abakan nominees. "Abakan is very excited about expanding MesoCoat's next generation corrosion and wear related market solutions to commercial applications", said Abakan CEO Robert Miller. "As we advance towards the full commercial introduction of these solutions, test results from prospective clients have confirmed the compelling nature of MesoCoat's value propositions with some of the top players in several multi-billion dollar industrial segments worldwide". "Abakan exercising their investment option allows Mesocoat to complete limited field introduction and scale production capacity, further paving the way for our revolutionary products to be used across the energy, marine, nuclear and defense industries", said MesoCoat and Powdermet CEO Andy Sherman. "We look forward to Abakan's continued business development support as well as additional investment as we move forward together". About Abakan: Abakan is a Miami-based, publicly traded company that invests in companies that have developed transformational technologies on the cusp of commercial acceptance. In addition to supporting MesoCoat's development, Abakan is involved in Powdermet's commercialization of its metal formulations and advanced energy management solutions. Both MesoCoat and Powdermet have received numerous industry awards (including R&D 100 awards and National Institute of Standards and Technology, Technology Innovation Program awards) and numerous government grants. 1 Forward-Looking Statements: A number of statements contained in this press release are forward-looking statements.

EX-99.1 2 ex-99d1.htm EX-99.1 ccf_Ex99_1 Exhibit 99.1 A Leading Manufacturer of Protective Materials for High Reliability Applications CHASE CORPORATION ACQUIRES STEWART SUPERABSORBENTS (SSA), LLC - ZAPPA STEWART Westwood, MA - January 4, 2018 - Chase Corporation (NYSE American: CCF) announced that it has acquired Stewart Superabsorbents (SSA), LLC, an advanced superabsorbent polymer (SAP) formulator and solutions provider, with operations located in Hickory and McLeansville, NC. In the most recently completed calendar year, SSA and its recently acquired Zappa-Tec business (collectively "Zappa Stewart") had combined revenue in excess of $24,000,000. Chase expects this acquisition to be immediately accretive to its earnings. The business was acquired for a purchase price of $71,382,000, net of cash acquired, pending any working capital adjustments and excluding acquisition-related costs. As part of this transaction, Chase acquired all equity of the business and entered into multiyear leases at both locations. The purchase was funded from a combination of a $65,000,000 draw on Chase's existing revolving credit facility and available cash on hand. Adam P. Chase, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "This is a highly complementary acquisition for Chase Corporation which leverages our existing channels to industrial markets and allows us to deliver more value to our customers. Zappa Stewart's proven protective materials technology is a great fit with our core strategy and extends our reach into growing medical and consumer applications. Their North Carolina operations will broaden our capabilities, and will add two facilities near the three we already have in the region. The new technologies and additional management talent will enhance our cross-functional operating model, creating logical synergies and value-creation opportunities". Quint Barefoot, Managing Partner of Zappa Stewart, commented, "Our organization is excited to become part of the dynamic Chase team. Becoming part of the Chase platform creates significant opportunities to deploy proprietary polymer solutions across diverse market segments. This increased scale and geographic reach for our specialty reagents will generate new opportunities for our personnel, new perspectives and sustainable growth. This could not happen at a more exciting time in our markets, as we see heightened demand for our differentiated products used in directional drilling, telecommunications, energy, infrastructure and remediation projects". The transaction was effective December 31, 2017.

(NYSE: APO) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Apollo") today announced the successful completion of the previously commenced cash tender offer by the Purchaser to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of NWHM. The tender offer expired at 12:00 A.M., New York City time on September 8, 2021. As of the expiration of the tender offer, a total of 16,334,654 shares of common stock of NWHM, representing approximately 89.95% of the outstanding NWHM shares, were validly tendered into and not withdrawn from the tender offer. As of such expiration, all conditions to the tender offer have been satisfied or waived. Purchaser has accepted for payment, and expects to promptly pay for, all such NWHM shares validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the tender offer. As a result of its acceptance of the shares tendered in the tender offer, Purchaser has acquired a sufficient number of shares of the Company's common stock to close the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company without the affirmative vote of the Company's other stockholders pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. On September 8, 2021, Purchaser consummated the merger. In connection with the merger, the remaining outstanding shares were cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $9.00 per share in cash, being the same price paid in the tender offer. As a result of the tender offer and the merger, NWHM became a privately-held, indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Apollo Funds and the Company's common stock ceased trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

EX-99.1 8 ex99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 ex99_1.htm Exhibit 99.1 Contact : Dominic Petrucci Chief Operating Officer Cornerstone Ventures, Inc. 949 263 4340 [email protected] Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc. Announces Purchase Of Monroe North CommerCenter For $14.3 Million Irvine, CA - April 17, 2008 - Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc (CCP REIT) announced today it has purchase an existing multi-tenant industrial property known as Monroe North CommerCenter for approximately $14.3 million. Monroe North CommerCenter consists of two industrial buildings ideally located in the metropolitan Orlando, Florida area. The property is currently 100% leased to 15 different tenants whose spaces range in size from approximately 7,300 square feet to approximately 29,000 square feet. The property has approximately 181,300 square feet of space situated on approximately 14 acres of land. Metropolitan Orlando's central location offers almost equidistant access to the state's other major metropolitan centers, positioning the region as a hub with quick, easy access to air, land and water transportation routes. The networks of air routes, rail systems and interstate highways, as well as nearby deep-water ports, are attractive to various manufacturing, warehouse and distribution businesses. Monroe North CommerCenter benefits from a desirable North Orlando location and from immediate access to a major interstate highway interchange. Scarcity of available industrial land in Central Florida combined with rising construction costs have made it difficult for developers to get a foothold in the Orlando industrial market. According to CB Richard Ellis, Central Florida remains an economically over-performing metro area and will remain in that category in the foreseeable future, due to strong demographic trends and moderate costs of living. According to CB Richard Ellis, industrial real estate in the first quarter of 2008 closed with an overall vacancy rate of 8.8% in the Orlando metropolitan market while average overall first quarter 2008 rental rates for the Orlando area were slightly higher than for the fourth quarter of 2007. CCP REIT is a publicly offered, non-traded real estate company investing primarily in multi-tenant industrial properties located in major metropolitan markets throughout the United States. While the CCP REIT may use some degree of debt financing for acquisition, working capital, tenant improvements, capital improvements and cash distributions, it intends to own and operate its properties on an all-cash basis thus mitigating foreclosure and interest rate risk. This release may contain forward-looking statements with the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including discussions regarding Cornerstone Core Properties REIT, Inc's use of proceeds and certain other factors that may affect future earnings or financial results. Such statements involve risk and uncertainties which could cause actual results to vary materially form those expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include changes general economic conditions, changes in real estate conditions, construction delays, changes in interest rates, lease-up risks, lack of financing availability and lack of capital proceeds.

EX-99.1 10 brhc10022897_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 FOR RELEASE: NEW HARTFORD, NY, April 8, 2021 CONTACT: Christopher R. Byrnes (315) 743-8376 [email protected], www.partech.com PAR Technology Corporation acquires Leading Loyalty Provider Punchh Inc. for $500MM, Becoming a Unified Commerce Cloud Platform for Enterprise Restaurants. Equity funding for the transaction led by Ron Shaich's Act III Holdings and funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. NEW HARTFORD, N.Y., April 8, 2021 - PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR), a leading global provider of restaurant software, today announced that it has acquired Punchh Inc. ("Punchh"), a leader in loyalty and guest engagement solutions, for approximately $500 million paid in cash and shares of PAR common stock to Punchh stockholders. This acquisition makes PAR a unified commerce cloud platform for enterprise restaurants and positions PAR to lead the industry with integrated point-of-sale, back office, payment and guest engagement solutions. Savneet Singh, PAR Technology Corporation CEO & President, said "Today there is a conflict between restaurants and technology. The quantity of new software applications is making it difficult for restaurants to navigate complex integration networks and taking away from focusing on their guests. Meanwhile, online marketplaces are becoming intermediaries between restaurants and their guests. With the Punchh acquisition, we are building a platform that enables restaurants to scale quickly, own their path to innovation, and take back their guest relationship. This eliminates the need for juggling disjointed vendors, developing cumbersome point-to-point integrations, and relying on 3 rd party dependencies. At the same time, Punchh advances our ability to provide customers with an end-to-end solution, from guest-to-kitchen, through one unified data source ." Singh added, "In our view, Punchh is the pre-eminent loyalty and CRM SaaS provider to enterprise restaurants. They boast a blue-chip roster of customers, industry - leading growth, 100%+ net dollar retention and very high customer NPS scores. Punchh's highly experienced team are among the industry's best - we're beyond excited to have them join us on our ambitious journey. I am also pleased to report that the combined companies, on a pro-forma basis, at the end of 2020, would have generated $65 million in run-rate ARR, while maintaining our growth and net dollar retention". Shyam Rao, Co-founder and President of Punchh, said "With its Brink POS®, PAR has been a Punchh partner for many years. We've gotten to know them while jointly servicing customers and have always been impressed with their focus on their customer's success. PAR's point-of-sale and back-office solutions combined with our loyalty and engagement platform give customers an end-to-end solution for top-line growth, profitable guest relationships and operational efficiencies. We're excited to join the PAR team and further our offerings to the hospitality industry". PAR financed the cash consideration of the purchase price through a combination of equity and debt, including proceeds from the sale of $160 million of PAR common stock to PAR Act III, LLC ("Act III") and to funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and a $180 million senior secured term loan under a credit agreement, with Owl Rock First Lien Master Fund, L.P., as administrative and collateral agent. Keith Pascal, Act III Partner, joins the Board of Directors of PAR Technology Corporation and, Ron Shaich, Act III Managing Partner and founder of Panera Bread, takes a Board Observer seat. Shaich said, "We are thrilled to join this journey with PAR and Punchh. As a founder and long-time CEO of a large restaurant company, I understand first-hand the struggles of trying to power a large enterprise by gluing together disparate technologies from multiple vendors which results in silos of data, increased management costs and barriers to agile innovation. However, those restaurant brands that can create a differentiated guest experience, aided by seamless omnichannel technology and a superior understanding of their guests' preferences and behaviors, will be best positioned to win in the ever increasingly competitive restaurant marketplace. I believe PAR's vision of a unified commerce cloud will enable more restaurant enterprises to compete effectively and efficiently in the digital arms race". Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC served as financial advisor to PAR Technology Corporation, and as sole placement agent in connection with the concurrent financing transactions. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP served as legal counsel to PAR Technology Corporation in connection with the acquisition and financing transactions. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as exclusive financial advisor and Fenwick & West LLP as legal counsel to Punchh.
