EX-99.1 2 exhibit1.htm EX-99.1 EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Teleflex ® NEWS 155 South Limerick Road, Limerick, PA 19468 USA - Phone: 610-948-5100 - Fax: 610-948-0811 Contact: Julie McDowell Vice President, Corporate Communications 610-948-2836 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 1, 2007 TELEFLEX COMPLETES ARROW INTERNATIONAL ACQUISITION Expands Teleflex Medical Business to $1.4 billion Establishes Teleflex Medical as a global leader in disposables for critical care and surgical applications Limerick, PA -Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Arrow International, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRO), a leading global provider of catheter-based access and therapeutic products for critical and cardiac care. Under terms of the transaction, which was announced on July 23, 2007, Arrow International shareholders will receive a cash payment of $45.50 for each outstanding share of Arrow common stock. "Completing the Arrow acquisition is a significant milestone in our strategy to position Teleflex as a diversified company defined by its medical business", commented Jeffrey P. Black, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Teleflex. "Combining these businesses creates a $1.4 billion global medical technology business with a leadership position in disposable products for critical care and surgery that will represent more than 45% of Teleflex revenues and approximately 70% of segment operating profits in 2008". Mr. Black continued, "Our goal now is to accelerate the growth of our medical business while capturing cost savings and other synergies that create value for our customers and shareholders. We believe this transformed medical technology business will achieve enhanced growth both organically and through bolt-on acquisitions. Arrow's robust R&D capabilities will be leveraged to accelerate the development of products with the goal of offering healthcare providers less invasive access, enhanced patient safety and improved infection control. We also see significant opportunities for cost savings and operational improvements as we combine the infrastructure and resources of both companies". (MORE) The company expects synergies from the transaction could reach $70 to $75 million by fiscal year 2010 through, among other actions, reducing administrative and global infrastructure expenses, increasing operational efficiencies and creating additional revenue opportunities. In total, approximately 80% of the synergies are expected to come from cost savings initiatives, with the balance from revenue growth initiatives. In regard to the financing of this transaction, Kevin K. Gordon, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Teleflex, said, "We are pleased with the structure of our permanent financing and the success of our bank syndication which was oversubscribed. With recent volatility in the financing markets, we considered several options for the capital structure and were successful in securing financing at aggregate borrowing costs that were in line with our original expectations". The transaction has been financed with cash, a senior secured syndicated bank loan and issuance of private placement notes. The syndicated bank loan agreement includes a $1.4 billion term loan and a $400 million revolving line of credit, both of which carry initial interest rates of LIBOR + 150 basis points. The company executed an interest rate swap for $600 million of the term loan from floating to a fixed rate of 6.25%. In addition, Teleflex amended its existing private placement notes and issued $200 million in new private placement notes with a blended interest rate of under 8% and terms substantially similar to the syndicated bank agreement. In commenting on the outlook, Mr. Black added, "Teleflex's current businesses continue to perform in line with our previously-outlined expectations for the full year. However, repatriation of overseas cash balances in connection with the acquisition, and expected future cash repatriation, will result in a principally non-cash charge for income taxes during the third quarter. As previously discussed, we expect to record additional charges in connection with the fourth quarter closing of the transaction. We continue to expect the transaction will be meaningfully accretive to earnings per share in 2009". The company expects to report third quarter 2007 earnings on October 31, 2007 and to hold a conference call with investors on November 1, 2007.

(Feb. 8, 2018) - Rite Aid Corporation (NYSE: RAD) today provided an update on the progress of its plans to sell stores to Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (Nasdaq: WBA) pursuant to the previously disclosed Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 18, 2017 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"). As of February 8, 2018, Rite Aid has transferred 1,114 stores and related assets to WBA, and has received cash proceeds of $2,424 million, which the Company continues to use to reduce debt. Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, WBA will purchase a total of 1,932 stores, three distribution centers and related inventory from Rite Aid for an all-cash purchase price of $4,375 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis. "We have now completed more than half of the planned store transfers and remain on track to finish the process in the spring of this year", said Rite Aid Chairman and CEO John Standley. "As we work to complete this process, we remain focused on opportunities to build our business while delivering a great experience to our customers and patients and driving value for our shareholders". The majority of the closing conditions have been satisfied, and the subsequent transfers of Rite Aid stores and related assets remain subject to minimal customary closing conditions applicable only to the stores being transferred at such subsequent closing, as specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Additional details regarding today's announcement have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K. Rite Aid is one of the nation's leading drugstore chains with fiscal 2017 annual revenues of $32.8 billion.

EX-99.2 3 exhibit992-unauditedadjust.htm EXHIBIT 99.2 Exhibit 99.2 - Unaudited Adjusted Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Exhibit 99.2 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS On February 9, 2015, the Board of Directors of Anixter International Inc. (the "Company") approved the disposition of its OEM Supply - Fasteners ("Fasteners") business. On February 11, 2015, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Anixter Inc., entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with American Industrial Partners ("AIP") to sell its Fasteners business for $380.0 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. On June 1, 2015, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Anixter Inc., completed the previously announced sale of its Fasteners business to AIP. The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been derived by the application of adjustments to the Company's historical consolidated financial statements. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2015 is presented as if the disposition had occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 3, 2015 is presented as if the disposition had occurred on April 3, 2015. As a result of the decision to dispose of the Company's Fasteners business, the operating results of the Fasteners business were reflected as discontinued operations for the entire period in the first quarter of 2015, as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended April 3, 2015. Therefore, an Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the first quarter of 2015 has not been included. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are being provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position that would have resulted if the disposition had actually occurred on the dates indicated and are not intended to project the Company's results of operations or financial position for any future period. The unaudited adjustments are based on estimates, available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, as described in the accompanying notes. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2015 and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended April 3, 2015.

EX-99.1 6 blackwater_8k-ex9901.txt PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 BLACKWATER MIDSTREAM CORP. COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF BULK LIQUID STORAGE TERMINAL IN PORT OF NEW ORLEANS Published: December 24, 2008 NEW ORLEANS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Blackwater New Orleans, LLC, a wholly-owned entity of Blackwater Midstream Corp. (OTCBB:BWMS), has completed the acquisition of an 855,000 barrel, 26.5 acre bulk liquid storage terminal in Westwego, LA at mile marker 101.4 on the Mississippi River. Blackwater purchased the terminal from NuStar Terminal Operations Partnership L.P. for a purchase price of $4.8 million. The facility includes a deep water marine dock, a rail system, and multiple truck loading/unloading stations. The company intends to consolidate its business and operational headquarters at the facility in Westwego, LA. The Company received favorable financing through JPMorgan Chase in New Orleans and private placement investor funding. The Company has already finalized a storage lease with a chemical company that will bring in revenue. In addition, Blackwater New Orleans is marketing the facility to numerous petroleum and chemical companies. According to Blackwater's Chief Commercial Officer Frank Marrocco, "We have received great commercial interest in the facility. Tight supply in the Port of New Orleans storage market, coupled with the outstanding customer focus and responsiveness that the Blackwater Midstream management team offers to our clients, will make this acquisition a great success for our company. Our business plan is simple: to forge outstanding, long term customer relationships through diligent stewardship and exceptional customer service of our clients' supply chain requirements". The Westwego acquisition is the first step in Blackwater's strategy of acquiring niche, third party terminal assets around the country, and building a diversified asset base that promotes its business plan. The information in this press release includes certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to prospective acquisitions or anticipated future results. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations or forecasts of future events. Blackwater Midstream does not assume the obligation to update any forward-looking statement. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from Blackwater Midstream's forward-looking statements, including market forces, economic factors, the availability of capital and credit, current and future competition and other uncertainties.

EX-99.I 23 c50007_ex99-1.htm Exhibit 99.1 1140 Pearl Street, Boulder, Colorado 80302 NEWS RELEASE for August 20, 2007 at 7:30 AM EDT Contacts for Incentra Solutions: Allen & Caron Inc. Incentra Solutions, Inc. Jill Bertotti (investors) Tom Sweeney jill@allencaron.com Chief Executive Officer Len Hall (financial media) tsweeney@incentrasolutions.com len@allencaron.com (303) 449-8279 (949) 474-4300 INCENTRA SOLUTIONS ACQUIRES HELIO SOLUTIONS, LEADING PROVIDER OF IT AND DATA CENTER SOLUTIONS IN CALIFORNIA/ARIZONA Boulder, CO, August 20, 2007 - Incentra Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: ICNS), a provider of complete IT and storage management solutions to enterprises and managed service providers in North America and Europe, today announced that it has acquired Santa Clara, CA-based Helio Solutions, Inc. ( www.heliosolutions.com ) for approximately $10.3 million, subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments. The price paid at closing included $5 million in cash, six million restricted shares of Incentra common stock and the issuance of an unsecured, convertible three-year note for $770,000. Based on meeting certain performance thresholds in each of the three years following closing, the sellers are eligible to receive additional consideration consisting of a combination of cash and restricted shares of Incentra common stock. The sellers have entered into a multi-year year lockup and voting agreement covering all Incentra common stock received in the transaction. Privately-held Helio, which is a premier provider of IT and secure data center solutions to mid-tier enterprises and Fortune 1000 companies, had sales of approximately $75 million for the 12 months ended June30, 2007. Helio will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Incentra Solutions and continue to operate from its offices in Santa Clara, San Jose, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix, AZ. The acquisition will add a staff of approximately 60 professionals and more than 350 customers to Incentra's existing operations, and Helio president Dave Condensa will remain with the business and report directly to Incentra Solutions President and Chief Operating Officer Shawn O'Grady. Incentra Solutions Chairman and CEO Thomas P. Sweeney said that acquiring Helio will significantly strengthen Incentra's presence in California and Arizona. The acquisition is another important step in the Company's strategy to rapidly grow revenues by acquiring systems integrators with existing direct sales organizations serving the enterprise market. With the addition of Helio revenue, Incentra is well positioned to enter 2008 with an annual revenue run rate of more than $200 million. "In addition to the investments we are making in organic growth, as we have previously demonstrated we will continue to seek strategic opportunities to grow through acquisition, when appropriate", Sweeney said. "Helio brings to Incentra experienced management and an excellent professional staff with a successful track record. With its large base of well established customers, it meets our strategic goal of providing significant opportunities to increase sales of our value added services including First Call and Enhanced First Call support services, professional services and our GridWorks remote monitoring and management system". Dave Condensa said, "Joining Incentra Solutions is a significant move for our employees and our customer base. It not only creates attractive career opportunities for our professional staff, it adds critically important service offerings to our product line to help solve our customer's growing data management requirements. The entire Helio organization is very excited about becoming part of Incentra for we believe this business combination positions the Company as the most complete provider of IT products and value added service solutions on the west coast".

ACQUIRES FIRST ASSET FOR $7.6 MILLION IRVINE, Calif., May 23, 2016 - Steadfast Apartment REIT III, Inc. (STAR III) announced today the acquisition of its first community, Carriage House Apartments, a 136-unit complex located in Gurnee-43 miles outside of Chicago-for $7.6 million. In connection with the property acquisition, authorized cash distributions equal to $0.004098 per share of Class A common stock and $0.003366 per share of the Company's Class T common stock will begin being paid. "We are very pleased to kick off Steadfast Apartment REIT III with the purchase of Carriage House. The community is approximately 98 percent occupied and well-positioned within the market", said Ella Shaw Neyland, president of Steadfast Apartment REIT III. "We intend to target quality, mid-tier assets and seek opportunities to convert good properties into better ones by introducing our extensive institutional resources". Constructed in 1970 on 8.44 acres, Carriage House comprises 17 two-story buildings with one- and two-bedroom layouts that average 653 square feet. Average in-place rents are $741 per month. Community amenities include a swimming pool with sundeck, pool house with a locker room, picnic area, laundry facilities and additional storage. STAR III will initiate a moderate value enhancement strategy for all unit interiors, including new appliances, upgraded bathroom and kitchen counters, fresh paint and upgraded flooring. Select improvements to the common areas will include improving the community's curb appeal. Just minutes off I-94, I-88, I-294 and I-90, Carriage House is in a prime location within Chicago's Lake County submarket, which has become a premier business location for companies such as Abbott Laboratories, AbbVie, Solo Cup Company, HSBC Finance, Swingline and Diners Club International.

EX-99.2 4 d68495_ex99-2.htm PRESS RELEASE DATED JUNE 21, 2006 Exhibit 99.2 PRESS RELEASE: EASY GARDENER ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF SALE OF ASSETS AND NAME CHANGE WACO, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/21/2006 -- Easy Gardener Products, Ltd. (OTC: EZGRP) Formerly -- (AMEX: EZY_pa) (AMEX: EZY.pr.a) (AMEX: EZYPRA) (AMEX: EZY/PA) announces the completion of the sale of all of its assets pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court. The buyer was Green Thumb Acquisition Corporation ("GTAC"), an affiliate of Bayside Capital, at a purchase price of $58,797,023.46. The purchase price consists of $23.5 million, plus the principal and interest owed to the Company's senior secured revolving and term lenders and minus certain fees to be paid. Bayside Capital is an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, an investment firm that manages more than $2.5 billion in invested capital and has invested in over 40 portfolio companies. Under the sale agreement, the Company sold to the GTAC substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Weatherly Consumer Products Group, Inc. and Weatherly Consumer Products, Inc. in a transaction subject to Section 363 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. The Company used the proceeds of the sale to repay 100% of the outstanding principal and unpaid interest due to the Company's senior secured revolving and term lenders at the closing of the sale, upon which the Company terminated its agreements with its senior secured revolving and term lenders. The Company expects the $23.5 million balance of the purchase price to be used to pay amounts owed to holders of two subordinated promissory notes issued by the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $4.275 million, plus accrued interest of approximately $1.0 million. After paying transaction and other fees estimated to be between $3.1 million and $4.3 million, there will be between approximately $15.1 million and $13.9 million remaining for distribution to holders of the Company's 9.40% Cumulative Preferred Trust Securities (the "Trust Preferred Shares") due April 15, 2028 (estimated to be between approximately $6.25 and $5.75 per Trust Preferred Share). The amount ultimately paid to the holders of the Trust Preferred Shares will depend upon several contingencies, including the amount of transaction and other fees actually incurred in connection with the sale and the Chapter 11 process. No funds will be available for payment to the Company's common equity securities. Effective June 16, 2006, the Company has changed its name to EGI Liquidating Company, Ltd. The Company is a Texas limited partnership with principal executive offices located at 3022 Franklin Avenue, Waco, Texas 76710. About Easy Gardener Products, Ltd.

Box 1957 Manitowoc, WI 54221-1957 (920) 684-5531 For more information contact: Steve Huntington, CFO TOWER TECH HOLDINGS INC. COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF BRAD FOOTE GEAR WORKS, INC. -J. Cameron Drecoll Appointed CEO- MANITOWOC, WI, October 22, 2007 - Tower Tech Holdings Inc. (TWRT) has closed the previously announced acquisition of Brad Foote Gear Works, Inc., an Illinois-based manufacturer of gearing systems for the wind turbine, oil and gas and energy-related industries. Upon closing, J. Cameron Drecoll, the CEO of Brad Foote Gear Works, assumed chief executive responsibilities for the combined company and was appointed to Tower Tech's Board of Directors. Mr. Drecoll has been the majority shareholder and CEO of Brad Foote Gear Works since 1996. Mr. Drecoll said, "We are excited about the closing of the transaction and the opportunities the combination brings to our customers, employees and surrounding communities".

Tontine Partners, L.P. and its affiliates purchased an aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of Tower Tech common stock in a private placement at a purchase price of $4.00 per share and provided $25 million of additional interim debt financing in the form of senior subordinated convertible notes. Tower Tech also assumed approximately $21 million of senior debt from Brad Foote Gear Works. About Tower Tech Holdings Inc. Tower Tech Holdings Inc.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and include any statement that does not directly relate to a current or historical fact.

Our forward-looking statements in this release generally relate to anticipated synergies created by the acquisition and expectations regarding the use of funds received in our financing transaction. Although it is not possible to foresee all of the factors that may cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements, such factors include, among others, the following: (i) difficulties in integrating the merged businesses and our ability to successfully capitalize on the acquired business's strengths and product offerings; (ii) the ability of our management team and key employees to transition to working with a new CEO; (iii) our ability to successfully comply with the terms of our debt and equity financing; (iv) our anticipated capital needs; (v) unforeseen costs or liabilities that may arise in connection with the acquisition; (vi) fluctuations in general economic conditions; and (vii) those risks described from time to time in our reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (including our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB). Investors should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all of the risks, uncertainties or potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause our current expectations or beliefs to change.

EX-99.1 2 v178137_ex99-1.htm TEGAL SELLS THIN FILM ETCH AND PVD ASSETS TO OEM GROUP Tegal retains and will continue to sell and support its Deep Reactive Ion Etch (DRIE) systems globally while continuing to pursue strategic alternatives for the Company PETALUMA, Calif., March 22, 2010 - Tegal Corporation , (Nasdaq: TGAL) an innovator of specialized production solutions for the fabrication of advanced MEMS, power ICs and optoelectronic devices, today announced that it has sold its legacy thin film etch and physical vapor deposition (PVD) product lines to OEM Group, Inc. for aggregate consideration of up to $3 million, of which a maximum of $1 million is subject to OEM Group's achievement of certain target sales levels. Tegal sold to OEM Group the Tegal 900ACS™, 980ACS™, 6500 HRe - ™ and 6500 Spectra™ series Thin Film Etch products, along with the Sputtered Films Endeavor™ and AMS™ PVD series products, intellectual property and process know-how. OEM Group will bring continued global support to existing Tegal Thin Film Etch and PVD customers, and will integrate these world class technologies into their LEGENDS™ offering, which already includes the MRC Eclipse (PVD), AG Heatpulse® (RTP), Lam AutoEtch™ (Etch), and Varian Sunset (Implant) platforms. "OEM Group is the perfect company for these Tegal products, which represent an important legacy in semiconductor capital equipment and process technology," said Thomas Mika, President and CEO, Tegal Corporation. "We are pleased that we have been able to place these products and many of the skilled employees associated with them in a company whose business model is built on the continued sales, service and support of late life cycle technology into new and existing customers and markets". "We are honored to continue providing Tegal's world class Thin Film Etch solutions to the market; and, with the addition of the Sputtered Films technologies to our own PVD focus, we believe we will have an unmatched product offering", said Wayne Jeveli, President of OEM Group. "Over the course of more than 30 years, Tegal's brand has symbolized innovation, quality and customer focus. We believe these attributes will continue on for many years at OEM Group". The sale of the Thin Film Etch and PVD product lines to OEM Group represents a significant step in Tegal's execution of its previously announced pursuit of strategic alternatives for the benefit of Tegal's stockholders. While continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives for the Company, Tegal intends to continue to sell and support its full range of Deep Reactive Ion Etch (DRIE) systems that it acquired from Alcatel Micro Machining Systems (AMMS) in September, 2008.

EX-99.1 3 ex99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 ex99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 KIRBY CORPORATION Contact: Steve Holcomb 713-435-1135 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KIRBY CORPORATION COMPLETES THE PURCHASE OF PENN MARITIME Houston, Texas (December 14, 2012) - Kirby Corporation ("Kirby") (NYSE:KEX) announced today the completion of the acquisition of Penn Maritime Inc. and Maritime Investments LLC ("Penn"), an operator of tank barges and tugboats participating in the coastal transportation of primarily black oil products in the United States. The total value of the transaction was approximately $299 million (before post-closing adjustments and transaction fees), consisting of $146 million of cash, $29 million through the issuance of 500,000 shares of Kirby common stock valued at $58.16 per share, and $124 million for the retirement of Penn's debt. The cash portion of the consideration and retirement of Penn's debt were financed from the proceeds of a new issue of unsecured senior notes. The new unsecured senior notes, closed on December 13, 2012, provide for $500 million in fixed rate debt with $150 million at a 7-year maturity at 2.79% and $350 million at a 10-year maturity at 3.34%. On December 14, 2012, $275 million of the unsecured senior notes were drawn to close the Penn acquisition, with the balance to be drawn in February 2013 primarily to replace $200 million of senior notes due February 28, 2013. Penn's fleet, comprised of 18 double-hulled tank barges with a capacity of 1.9 million barrels and 16 tugboats, operates along the East Coast and Gulf Coast of the United States. Penn's tank barge fleet has an average age of approximately 13 years with a product mix that consists primarily of refinery feedstocks, asphalt and crude oil. Penn's customers include major oil companies and refiners, nearly all of whom are current Kirby customers for inland tank barge services. Kirby Corporation, based in Houston, Texas, is the nation's largest domestic tank barge operator, transporting bulk liquid products throughout the Mississippi River System, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, coastwise along all three United States coasts and in Alaska and Hawaii. Kirby transports petrochemicals, black oil products, refined petroleum products and agricultural chemicals by tank barge. Through the diesel engine services segment, Kirby provides after-market service for medium-speed and high-speed diesel engines and reduction gears used in marine and power generation applications. Kirby also distributes and services high-speed diesel engines, transmissions, pumps, compression products and manufactures and remanufactures oilfield service equipment, including pressure pumping units, for the land-based pressure pumping and oilfield service markets. 1 Statements contained in this press release with respect to the future are forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's reasonable judgment with respect to future events. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of various factors, including cyclical or other downturns in demand, significant pricing competition, unanticipated additions to industry capacity, changes in the Jones Act or in U.S. maritime policy and practice, fuel costs, interest rates, weather conditions, and timing, magnitude and number of acquisitions made by Kirby. Forward-looking statements are based on currently available information and Kirby assumes no obligation to update such statements. A list of additional risk factors can be found in Kirby's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 2

Huntsman's amorphous polyalphaolefin (or APAO) products, which Flint Hills will manufacture for Huntsman at the Odessa site under a long-term supply arrangement, are not included in the sale. "We are delighted to have closed on the sale of our U.S. Polymers business and look forward to completing this strategic divestiture by closing on the sale of our U.S. Base Chemicals business later this year", said Peter Huntsman. "The associates that have transferred to FHR today are among the finest in our industry, and we are pleased they have joined another world class operator of chemical assets". "Today's acquisition is an important step for Flint Hills Resources as we seek opportunities to leverage our capabilities," said Brad Razook, president and chief executive officer of Kansas-based Flint Hills Resources, LP. "With the addition of these polymer production assets and the talented, experienced workforce, we believe we are positioned to create superior value for our customers and continue growing". - END - About Huntsman Corporation: Huntsman is a global manufacturer and marketer of differentiated chemicals.

EX-99.1 8 trtc_ex991.htm PRESS RELEASE trtc_ex991.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Terra Tech and OneQor Announce Successful Completion of Merger Company announces plans to change name to Onyx Group Holdings New entity will operate as a holding company focusing on multiple cannabinoid verticals Irvine, CA; Phoenix, AZ - February 18, 2020 Terra Tech Corp. ("Terra Tech") (OTCQX: TRTC), a vertically integrated, cannabis-focused agriculture company, and OneQor Pharmaceutical ("OneQor"), a privately held over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical company focused on developing, patenting, and delivering proprietary, plant-derived formulations in order to provide consumers with safer, more effective OTC solutions, today announced that the two companies have closed the previously announced merger pursuant to which OneQor merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of Terra Tech in an all-stock transaction (the "Merger"). Immediately prior to closing the Merger, the parties entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement pursuant to which pre-merger Terra Tech shareholders will own approximately 79% of the combined company and OneQor shareholders and holders of certain OneQor Simple Agreements for Future Equity ("SAFEs") will own approximately 21% of the combined company. The amendment also provides that in connection with the terms of certain other OneQor SAFEs (the "SAFE 2s"), such SAFE 2s will convert into shares of Terra Tech common stock on the first trading day after the Merger at the dollar volume-weighted average price per share of Terra Tech common stock on the day prior to the Merger and the issuance of such shares of Terra Tech common stock will dilute both Terra Tech shareholders and OneQor shareholders prior to the Merger. Upon conversion of the SAFE 2s, Terra Tech shareholders prior to the Merger will own in the aggregate approximately 73.9% of the combined company, OneQor shareholders and certain SAFE holders prior to the Merger will own in the aggregate approximately 19.7% of the combined company, and the SAFE 2 holders will own in the aggregate approximately 6.2% of the combined company. In connection with the Merger, the combined company announced plans to change its name to Onyx Group Holdings ("Onyx") and expects to trade on the OTC Market under a new ticker symbol to be announced in the near future. Management and Organization The combined company will focus on both emerging cannabinoid-based pharmaceutical development opportunities as well as the continued expansion of its portfolio of THC assets. The company will have three main business verticals: Terra Tech's THC assets and cannabinoid-based products and research and development, harnessing Terra Tech's brand recognition in the cannabis market and OneQor's pharmaceutical infrastructure. At closing, Matthew Morgan, OneQor CEO, has been appointed as the CEO of the combined company and has joined the Terra Tech Board of Directors, with Terra Tech CEO Derek Peterson remaining on the Board as Chairman. The combined company's Board of Directors has five members, consisting of four members of Terra Tech's current Board of Directors and Mr. Morgan. "I am excited to bring in Matt to lead the Company as it enters this next stage of its evolution. Matt was one of the early adopters in the cannabis market and emerged to become a significant cannabis entrepreneur. His track record as a strong operator, which includes running some of the most successful dispensaries and co-founding Ignite Cannabis Co., speaks for itself", said Mr. Peterson. "With Matt at the helm of Onyx, I am confident that we have a major opportunity to grow our presence in multiple cannabinoid verticals and to build value for shareholders". Mr. Peterson continued, "The revised deal structure is based upon a change in market conditions that saves Terra Tech shareholders significant dilution. We are confident that this revised agreement will deliver greater value to our shareholders and better position the company to be a leader in the growing cannabis and CBD markets, as well as the cannabinoid research and development space". Mr. Morgan commented, "Reorganizing the company as Onyx Group Holdings gives us the flexibility we need to invest in high growth, cannabinoid-focused opportunities to maximize shareholder value. Onyx will have three verticals initially, consisting of Terra Tech's THC assets, OneQor's alternative cannabinoid products and a research arm. I've had this vision of a cannabinoid-centric holding company for many years. Now, with this new structure, we can realize that vision and position ourselves to leverage opportunities in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, consumer brands, startups, minority investments and beyond. I couldn't be more excited to spearhead this endeavor for all our shareholders and drive maximum value for years to come". The company is forming a Scientific Advisory Board to spearhead the research and development component of the company.

EX-99.1 2 brhc10025373_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 American Financial Group, Inc. Announces Closing of the Sale of its Annuity Businesses and Declares Special Dividend CINCINNATI - May 28, 2021 - American Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: AFG) announced today the closing of the sale of its Annuity businesses, consisting of Great American Life Insurance Company (GALIC) and its two insurance subsidiaries, Annuity Investors Life Insurance Company and Manhattan National Life Insurance Company, as well as a broker-dealer affiliate, Great American Advisors, Inc., and insurance distributor, AAG Insurance Agency, Inc. to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual). Total after-tax cash proceeds from the sale are approximately $3.5 billion. In connection with the closing of this transaction, the Company has declared a special, one-time cash dividend of $14.00 per share of American Financial Group Common Stock. The dividend is payable on June 15, 2021 to holders of record on June 8, 2021. The aggregate amount of the payment to be made in connection with this special dividend will be approximately $1.2 billion. This special dividend is in addition to the Company's regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share that was last paid on April 26, 2021. In addition, on May 19, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional 5,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock through December 31, 2025. AFG Co-CEOs Carl H. Lindner III and S. Craig Lindner stated: "The disposition of our annuity business sharpens our focus exclusively on the Specialty P&C market and generates substantial excess capital for AFG. Returning excess capital to shareholders in the form of this $14.00 special dividend is a key component of AFG's capital management strategy; it reflects our strong financial position and our confidence in the Company's financial future. Our excess capital remains at a significant level, which affords us the financial flexibility to make opportunistic repurchases, pay additional dividends, grow our Specialty P&C business organically and through acquisitions and start-ups that meet our target return thresholds". Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Keating Muething & Klekamp PLL served as legal counsel to AFG for the annuity transaction. Debevoise & Plimpton LLP served as legal counsel to MassMutual.

EX-99.1 2 poageandfarmersacquisition.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 POAGE AND FARMERS ACQUISITIONS CLOSING Exhibit NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release December 7, 2018 For Further Information Contact: Charles R. Hageboeck, Chief Executive Officer and President (304) 769-1102 City Holding Company Completes Acquisitions Bolstering Kentucky Presence CHARLESTON, WV, December 7, 2018 - City Holding Company ("City") (Nasdaq: CHCO), the parent company of City National Bank of West Virginia, announced today that it has completed its acquisitions of Poage Bankshares, Inc., ("Poage") (Nasdaq: PBSK), the parent company of Town Square Bank, Ashland, Kentucky, and Farmers Deposit Bancorp, Inc. ("Farmers Deposit"), the parent company of Farmers Deposit Bank, Cynthiana, Kentucky. Both acquisitions became effective as of the close of business on December 7, 2018. The acquisition of Poage was structured as a stock transaction valued at approximately $84.7 million, or $24.22 per share of Poage common stock. The acquisition of Farmers Deposit was structured as a cash transaction valued at $24.9 million, or $1,174.14 per share of Farmers Deposit common stock. City, Poage and Farmers Deposit first announced that they had entered into separate agreements to merge on July 11, 2018. The acquisition of Poage included the merger of Town Square Bank into City National Bank of West Virginia, and the acquisition of Farmers Deposit included the merger of Farmers Deposit Bank into City National Bank of West Virginia. Based upon financial data as of September 30, 2018, the combined company will have $5.0 billion in assets, deposits of $3.9 billion, and gross loans of $3.5 billion, bolstering City's presence in the Huntington-Ashland and Lexington, Kentucky MSAs. "It is a pleasure to welcome the staff and customers of Town Square Bank and Farmers Deposit Bank into the City family", remarked Charles R. (Skip) Hageboeck, President and Chief Executive Officer of City. "With strong roots in the region, and an emphasis on community service, the synergies of our organizations are strong. We believe the combination of our respective businesses will be positive for shareholders, customers, and employees. On a combined basis, through September 30, 2018, Poage and Farmers Deposit incurred operating expenses of over $15 million, or more than $20 million on an annualized basis. With multiple overlapping branches in the Ashland market, more favorable data processing contracts and costs, and the normal efficiencies of larger organizations, we anticipate cost savings of more than 45%, which is good for shareholders. At the same time, we have been able to retain more employees than originally anticipated. We retained more than a dozen administrative/operational staff from Town Square who are filling open positions that existed at City. And, from a customer's perspective, they will continue to see the same people who have been serving them at Town Square and Farmers Deposit, but will have access to enhanced products and services. City's dedication to remain a community-focused bank, means that commitment to the local communities will continue to be quite strong". Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. served as financial advisor and Dinsmore & Shohl LLP served as legal counsel to City in both transactions. Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P. served as financial advisor and Luse Gorman, PC served as legal counsel to Poage in the Poage transaction. ProBank Austin served as financial advisor and Stites & Harbison, PLLC served as legal counsel to Farmers Deposit in the Farmers Deposit transaction.

EX-99 3 ex99.htm EXHIBIT 99 ex99.htm Exhibit 99 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Matt Funke, CFO December 17, 2010 (573) 778-1800 SOUTHERN BANK ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF LOANS AND DEPOSITS OF FIRST SOUTHERN BANK, BATESVILLE, ARKANSAS Southern Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), today announced that it had entered into a definitive whole-bank purchase and assumption agreement (the "Agreement") with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), to acquire the deposits and certain assets of First Southern Bank, a full-service bank headquartered in Batesville, Arkansas, with a branch in Searcy, Arkansas. The Arkansas State Bank Department today closed First Southern Bank and appointed the FDIC as receiver. The two branches previously operated by First Southern Bank will reopen at their regular hours (on Saturday in Searcy, or Monday in Batesville), as branches of Southern Bank. Depositors of First Southern Bank will automatically become depositors of Southern Bank, and deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC. Depositors of First Southern Bank can continue to access their money by writing checks or using ATM or debit cards, and checks drawn on the bank will continue to be processed; loan customers should continue to make their payments as usual. With this acquisition, Southern Bank will now operate 16 locations, adding new markets in Arkansas to its existing network of branches in Arkansas and Missouri. Southern Bank has no current plans to change rates or terms on retail certificates of deposit, however, customers may withdraw funds without penalty. Commenting on the announcement, Greg Steffens, President and CEO of Southern Bank, said, "We are pleased today to welcome the customers of First Southern Bank to the Southern Bank family. We value their business, and our highest priority is to provide our new customers with outstanding service. Their deposits are safe, FDIC-insured, and fully accessible in the same manner as they were yesterday. We also welcome the valued employees of the bank who join us today. We want to make this transition easy and comfortable for them, as well. "We are pleased that our Company's strong asset quality and capital position has enabled us to step in to the Batesville and Searcy markets, where we believe our business model will serve the community well and provide a sound return to our shareholders", Steffens continued. As a result of the transaction, Southern Bank agreed to assume deposits of approximately $156 million, less some brokered deposits, paying a premium of 0.25% on core deposits. Southern Bank expected to acquire assets totaling approximately $153 million. Loans and other assets acquired were not subject to a loss-share agreement, but loans were acquired at a $17.5 million discount. Southern Bank is a subsidiary of Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc., which trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the ticker "SMBC". The Company reported total assets of $565 million, deposits of $436 million, and stockholders' equity of $47 million at September 30, 2010.

EX-99.1 4 a04-10767_1ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Priceline.com Acquires Active Hotels, a Leading Internet Hotel Reservation Service in Europe NORWALK, Conn., September 21, 2004... Priceline.com® (Nasdaq: PCLN) announced today that it acquired Cambridge, UK-based Active Hotels Ltd., one of Europe's leading Internet hotel reservation services, in a cash transaction valued at approximately US$161 million. Priceline.com said it intends to retain Active Hotels' current management team, which will continue to manage Active Hotels as an independent business. Priceline.com also said that Active Hotels' three top executives and selected other employees reinvested a portion of the acquisition proceeds back into the Active Hotels business. Active Hotels works with a wide range of 8,000 properties from B&Bs to 5-star hotels in the UK and throughout Europe, including major international chains and independents. Its distribution network encompasses company-owned Web sites, such as activereservations.com , as well as approximately 1,500 Web sites operating throughout Europe. Active Hotels' reservation services are available in English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. "As one of the fastest growing hotel services in the European market, Active Hotels will play an important part in priceline's growth plans", said priceline.com President and Chief Executive Officer Jeffery H. Boyd. "Andrew Phillipps and his team have built a profitable, supplier-friendly business, which mirrors the positioning of the priceline and Travelweb hotel businesses". "This deal is great news for all involved," said Andrew Phillipps, Chief Executive of Active Hotels. "For our hotel customers, we expect that this will provide additional US demand from one of the market leaders. We believe that our pricing model will continue to put real pressure on competitors. For Web sites that work with us, the deal should provide low-priced hotel rooms in the US, complementing our market-leading European stock. Finally, this is great news for Active Hotels and its staff. Under priceline.com's ownership and with their backing, we plan to expand still faster and consolidate our already strong position". Active Hotels' gross bookings for the 12 months ending September 30, 2004 are expected to be approximately US$160 million, up approximately 100% year-over-year. Gross bookings refer to the total dollar value inclusive of taxes and fees of all hotel room nights purchased by consumers. Active Hotels' revenues for the 12 months ending September 30, 2004 are expected to be approximately US$22 million, up approximately 115% year-over-year. Active Hotels has been profitable since the 1 st quarter of 2003. Priceline.com said that it expected the acquisition to be accretive to its earnings (before non-cash amortization expense associated with the acquisition) for the 4 th quarter 2004 and for calendar 2005. Priceline stated that the acquisition created opportunities for Active and priceline to work together to expand their businesses. "Active Hotels has longstanding distribution relationships with a significant number of other European travel sites and we intend to support these relationships with added product from priceline.com and Travelweb for U.S. travel", said Glenn Fogel, Senior Vice President - International of priceline.com. "We also believe that we can sell Active Hotels' inventory to our large U.S. customer base for their European travel".

EX-99.A 4 exhibit99a.htm EXHIBIT 99.A EX-99.a EXHIBIT 99.A News For Immediate Release El Paso Corporation Closes Acquisition of Medicine Bow Energy Corporation HOUSTON, TEXAS, August 31, 2005 -El Paso Corporation (NYSE:EP) announced today that it has closed its previously announced acquisition of Denver-based Medicine Bow Energy Corporation for $834 million in cash through its wholly owned subsidiary, El Paso Production Holding Company (EPPH). The adjusted purchase price of $834 million is primarily attributable to Medicine Bow's acquisition of incremental ownership interest in Four Star Oil & Gas prior to closing. El Paso's ownership of Four Star at closing is 43.1 percent, up from 38.6 percent when the transaction was originally announced. Estimated proved reserves associated with the Medicine Bow acquisition are 383 billion cubic feet equivalent, and estimated average daily production is 103 million cubic feet equivalent per day. As indicated previously, Four Star's reserves and volumes will not be consolidated into El Paso Corporation's or El Paso Production Holding Company's financial reports but will be reported as an equity interest. Increased Presence in Denver Slightly more than half of the acquired proved reserves are in the Rocky Mountains, expanding El Paso's presence in this important region. "We are excited to increase our presence in the Rockies, and we expect to retain the majority of Medicine Bow's talented staff as well as its existing office in downtown Denver", said Lisa Stewart, president of El Paso's Production and Non-regulated Operations. "In addition, we plan to move the management of El Paso's existing Rockies assets to Denver from Houston and will add additional personnel to the Denver office to focus on expanding our Rockies presence." El Paso Corporation provides natural gas and related energy products in a safe, efficient, and dependable manner. The company owns North America's largest natural gas pipeline system and one of North America's largest independent natural gas producers. For more information, visit www.elpaso.com.

EX-99.1 5 pressrelease.htm PRESS RELEASE pressrelease FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Source Energy Partners L.P. Announces Services Acquisitions and Confirms Second Quarter Guidance OKLAHOMA CITY, June 26, 2014 - New Source Energy Partners L.P. (NYSE: NSLP) (the "Partnership" or "New Source") announced today that it has acquired all of the outstanding membership interests in Erick Flowback Services, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company ("EFS"), and all of the outstanding membership interests in Rod's Production Services, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company ("RPS"). The transaction closed on June 26, 2014 with an effective date of April 1, 2014. EFS and RPS specialize in providing services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies that increase the safety and efficiencies in pressure-related processes during the completion phase of a well, with a specific focus on well testing and flowback services. EFS and RPS operate primarily in Oklahoma, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. The total purchase price for the acquisitions was approximately $116.8 million, consisting of a cash contribution of approximately $57.3 million, Partnership common units valued at approximately $42.7 million, based on a 20 day VWAP, and the assumption of debt of approximately $16.8 million. The former owners are also entitled to earn additional consideration in the form of cash and Partnership common units in the second quarter of 2015 based on a specified multiple of the annualized EBITDA of EFS and RPS for the year ended December 31, 2014, less certain adjustments, specified in the agreement. Based on the timing of these acquisitions, the Partnership confirms its second quarter 2014 guidance, as outlined in its first quarter 2014 earnings call. Guidance for the second half of 2014 reflecting the oilfield service company acquisitions described above is included in our investor presentation available on our website at www.newsource.com. "The acquisitions of Erick Flowback Services and Rod's Production Services further exemplifies our commitment to pursuing accretive acquisitions that we believe complement our existing operations. We have identified and acquired what we believe to be the ideal of such candidates. The services provided by EFS and RPS are a natural extension of our existing pressure related services, further expanding our service offerings through the life cycle of the well. Our combined customer base includes many of the most respected firms in our industry", said Kristian Kos, New Source's Chief Executive Officer. "EFS/RPS' established footprint of infrastructure and people in the Mid-Continent region, along with their growing presence in the Permian and Eagle Ford, complement our own established and growing footprints. Additionally, EFS/RPS extends the Partnership's footprint with their established presence in the Marcellus and Utica, which will broaden our reach into two additional world-class plays. While we have not predicted the benefit of any potential synergies from this transaction, we are confident that such opportunities will come to fruition. From a financial viewpoint, the acquisitions are expected to provide New Source with both greater growth visibility and improved coverage ratios", Kos continued. Mark Snodgrass, the former Chief Executive Officer of EFS and RPS and new Senior Vice President of MCE, LP commented, "We are very excited to join the New Source family. I believe that Kristian Kos and Dikran Tourian are at the early stages of building an exciting, growth-oriented partnership that will be a great new home for our customers and employees. We couldn't be more pleased with the cultural fit between our organizations". In addition, the Partnership exercised its option to acquire MidCentral Completion Services, LLC ("MCCS"), an oilfield services company that specializes in providing services to oil and natural gas exploration and production companies that increase the safety and efficiencies in pressure-related processes during the completion phase of a well, such as the installation and pressure-testing of frac trees.

EX-99.1 4 ex_101833.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 ex_101833.htm Exhibit 99.1 For immediate release December 18, 2017 Crown Crafts , Inc. Enters Into Developmental Toy/Feeding/Baby Care Category With Acquisition of Sassy® Gonzales, Louisiana - Hamco, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Crown Crafts, Inc. (NASDAQ-CM: CRWS), ("Crown Crafts" or the "Company"), today announced the acquisition of the Sassy®-branded developmental toy, feeding and baby care product line of Sassy 14, LLC ("Sassy"). At closing, which was effective after the close of business on Friday, December 15, 2017, the Company paid a preliminary purchase price of $6.5 million for the inventory, intellectual property and certain other assets associated with the Sassy product line and assumed certain related liabilities. The final purchase price, which will be funded from a combination of cash on hand and the Company 's existing revolving credit facility, is subject to adjustment pending the completion of the final inventory valuation. The acquisition is expected to contribute approximately $11 million in net sales annually and to be immediately accretive to earnings. The Company plans to immediately integrate the sourcing and sales of the Sassy product line into the Company's facility in Gonzales, Louisiana, while maintaining a product development office in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Through the end of fiscal year 2018, distribution will be provided by a third-party facility in Grand Rapids, where the inventory is currently located. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company anticipates a cost of approximately $200,000 to move the remaining inventory to Compton, California, at which time distribution will be integrated into the Company's facility there. Sassy , based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, designs innovative, developmental and sensory products that help provide a solid foundation for lifelong learning. Founded in 1982, Sassy became known for the breakthrough Sassy Seat® and later expanded its line to include developmental toys, feeding and baby care products, and disposables.

Sassy products are sold nationwide through mass-market and specialty retailers, including Walmart, Target and Babies "R" Us. Sassy products are also sold worldwide in approximately 30 countries. More information can be found on www.sassybaby.com . "The addition of Sassy 's well-known brand of developmental baby products to Crown Crafts' portfolio diversifies our offerings and strengthens our position in the infant and juvenile products market", said E. Randall Chestnut, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Sassy has been a dominant player in developmental toys, feeding and care for more than 30 years and will complement our existing business well.

EX-99.1 2 ex_309880.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 - PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING CLOSING OF FRONT LINE POWER CONSTRUCTION, LLC ACQUISITION ex_309880.htm Exhibit 99.1 ORBITAL ENERGY GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF FRONT LINE POWER CONSTRUCTION LLC Synergistic Acquisition Expected to be Immediately Accretive to Revenue and Earnings and Completes OEG ' s Transformation into a Full-Service Infrastructure Service Provider HOUSTON, (November 17, 2021) - Orbital Energy Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: OEG) ("OEG") today announced it has acquired 100% of Front Line Power Construction LLC ("Front Line", "FLP", or "Company"), a Houston-based full-service electrical infrastructure service company that provides construction, maintenance, and emergency response services for customers since 2010. The transaction will immediately add significant revenues and earnings to OEG. For the calendar year 2020, FLP's audited results include gross revenues of approximately $58.8 million. Acquiring Front Line moves OEG into a cash flow & EBITDA positive position for 2022, with expected revenues approaching $325,000,000 and EBITDA of 10% or more. Approximately 90% of FLP's revenues are under multi-year master service agreements with electric utility and telecommunication customers. FLP's excellent track record of safely executing projects for customers has resulted in a revenue compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and EBITDA growth of more than 20% over the last four years. FLP specializes in installing and maintaining electrical distribution systems and substation infrastructure throughout Texas. The Company is led by Kurt Johnson, who has over 20 years of experience in the electric power, telecommunications, and industrial sectors. The Company serves investor owned utilities, electric cooperatives, telecommunications, and industry customers and has approximately 185 employees. Front Line will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of OEG. The senior management team, including CEO & Founder, Kurt Johnson, will remain with the company. OEG expects no organizational changes to FLP's successful, long-term operations. "Front Line Power is the ideal acquisition to serve as our electric power infrastructure platform and to profitably build revenues both organically and through synergistic acquisitions going forward. Further, it enhances OEG's transformation into a full-service energy infrastructure services platform." Stated Jim O'Neil, OEG's Chief Executive Officer and Vice-Chairman, "FLP's remarkable growth is a testament to its ability to proactively provide customers with a comprehensive range of solutions in a market that has significant momentum driven by aging infrastructure, a transition to renewable generation, and in a state, Texas, that has experienced significant population growth". The Membership Unit Purchase Agreement calls for purchase of the outstanding membership interest in FLP for a gross purchase price of $218.4 million. The purchase is being funded by a $105.0 million 5-year Term Loan, 2-year restricted shares of OEG common stock, and an approximate $85.0 million Promissory Note held by the Sellers. The term loan is being provided by a consortium of Irradiant Partners, Angelo Gordon, and Barings. Orbital Energy Group was advised by Piper Sandler & Co. FLP was advised and represented in this transaction by Romanchuk & Co. "Of the many acquisitions in which I have been directly involved in this industry during my career, this transaction with Front Line Power ranks as one of the best. Kurt's leadership style and core values, strategic mindset, and care for his employees and customers coupled with the outstanding job he has done building Front Line Power is highly valued by myself and my board of directors", O'Neil continued. "I look forward to working with Kurt to advance OEG, through its new electric power infrastructure platform, Front Line, to expand our service offerings, geographic footprint, and customer base, and to create shareholder value for years to come". "Front Line has reached a level where it is important for me to partner with OEG and a proven industry leader like Jim O'Neil to provide long term opportunities for my employees as well as enable us to meet the increasing demands of our customers", explained FLP's Founder & CEO, Kurt Johnson. "As OEG's electrical power platform, I look forward to teaming with Jim, who shares my values and vision, to take our company to the next level". About Orbital Orbital Energy Group, Inc.

EX-99.1 141 v092954_ex99-1.htm Unassociated Document FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: AT INVESTOR RELATIONS INTL: Zachary Bryant Vice President and Account Group Manager Ph: 818-382-9718 zbryant@irintl.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 8, 2007 CHINA ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF TECHWELL ENGINEERING LTD. Façade-System Firm is Valued at $11.7 Million in Stock and Cash Transaction ZHUHAI, CHINA and LOS ANGELES, November 8, 2007 - China Architectural Engineering, Inc. (CAE) (AMEX: RCH), which specializes in the design, engineering, fabrication and installation of high-end curtain wall systems, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of 100% interest in Techwell Engineering Limited, and its subsidiaries, including Hong Kong Techwell, Techwell Engineering Limited (Hong Kong), Techwell International Limited (Macau) and Techwell Building Systems Limited (Shenzhen), collectively known as "Techwell". The total cost of the transaction was approximately $11.7 million, divided equally between cash and newly issued CAE stock. The value of CAE's stock issued in the transaction was based on the closing price as quoted on the American Stock Exchange on November 5, 2007. CAE said it expects the acquisition to be accretive and substantially add to its revenue base. "This acquisition is a natural next step in CAE's already close and mutually beneficial relationship with Techwell", said Ken Yi Luo, China Architectural Engineering's Chairman and CEO. "Using Techwell's international engineering network in China and CAE as a brand and as a public company for capital, we expect to be able to win more contracts from international investors in Chinese projects. Using Techwell's experience with international project management and familiarity with European and American standards, we expect to be able to win contracts outside of China". Mr. Luo added, "Techwell has project licenses for Hong Kong and Macau as well as experience in international project management, which may increase the number of CAE's international projects and volume of project supplies. Also we expect the acquisition of Techwell to allow our existing resources - including our strong design team, research capability, patented technology, brand name and supplies - to be used even more efficiently". Techwell is a Hong Kong registered company known for its high end curtain wall and roofing system construction. Techwell has been in business over 20 years and has completed numerous façade construction and roofing projects in Southeast Asia. Techwell is familiar with British Standard and American Standards procedures, markets and administration. Previously, Techwell and CAE (and its subsidiaries) collaborated on several curtain wall and roofing system projects in China. These projects have included: Shenzhen International Airport, Guangzhou Opera House, and Wuhan Grand Theatre. Recently Techwell provided project management services to the Doha project in Qatar. After the acquisition of Techwell, CAE expects to utilize that Company's vast international project management experience along with CAE's existing resources to expand into the international market. This expansion should strengthen the competitiveness of CAE in the international markets while simultaneously enhancing the cost efficiency of the project and result in increased realized profit. Recently, CAE and Techwell, joint ventured to bid on several major projects. It is anticipated that the joint venture bid results will be announced in the near future.

EX-99.1 4 a06-3444_1ex99d1.htm EXHIBIT 99 Exhibit 99.1 Fischer Imaging Reports Service Arrangement with Kodak DENVER, Jan. 25, 2006 - Fischer Imaging Corporation (FIMG.PK) entered into an arrangement on January 23, 2006 with Eastman Kodak Company ("Kodak") for Kodak to offer service and support to the world-wide installed base of Fischer's mammography products, including SenoScan® digital mammography and MammoTest® stereotactic breast biopsy systems. As reported earlier, Fischer consummated the sale of its Mammography Assets (all intellectual property rights used in Fischer's mammography business, including the SenoScan® and MammoTest® systems) to Hologic, Inc. on September 29, 2005 ("Hologic Sale"). Fischer, with Hologic's consent, granted Kodak a non-exclusive limited license to use certain Mammography Assets necessary to provide service and support on the installed base of SenoScan and MammoTest systems (the "Service business"). Under the agreement, it is expected that Kodak's Health Group will provide post-sale support, including telephone customer technical support and on-site equipment repair and maintenance, to Fischer's Service customers who enter into a Kodak Service Agreement. "We believe this arrangement will provide our Mammography customers with access to repair and maintenance support from a large, reputable and highly responsive organization", said Dr. Gail Schoettler, Chairperson of the Board. As a result of this arrangement, Fischer will notify all of its Mammography service customers and suppliers of Kodak's role as an authorized service provider. Kodak will contact Mammography service customers and offer them the opportunity to enter into a service agreement directly with Kodak. Fischer will offer those customers who desire to enter into a Service Agreement with Kodak, the ability to terminate their current service contracts with Fischer without penalty. In addition, Fischer expects to enter into Service Agreements with Kodak to arrange for Fischer's customers with equipment still under manufacturer's warranty to receive service and support from Kodak at no additional cost to those customers. Kodak will also have the right to have spare parts and consumables manufactured for its use, sale and distribution. Fischer intends to continue its Service business until April 21, 2006, as well as fulfill its contractual obligations to provide MammoTest to Ethicon Endo-Surgery while it explores strategic alternatives for its radiology, electrophysiology, and surgical (RE&S) business. As discussed more fully in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, management cannot accurately estimate the amount of distribution to its stockholders, if any, from the proceeds of the Hologic Sale until the following are finalized or resolved: . decisions related to the strategic alternatives being investigated, including selling the RE&S business; . strategy to exit or reduce costs in the Fischer's European market; . the resolution of Philips' previously announced intent to terminate its master supply agreement with Fischer; . outcome of certain threatened litigation; and . the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) response to Fischer's corrective action plan to address observations from FDA inspections.

EX-99.1 10 exhibit9.htm EX-99.1 EX-99.1 Contact : Jill Swartz, 714.667.8252, ext. 251 jill.swartz@grubb-ellis.com Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT Acquires Highlands Ranch Healthcare Plaza in Highlands Ranch, Colorado Santa Ana, California (December 27, 2007) - Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT, Inc. has acquired Highlands Ranch Healthcare Plaza in the Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch, Colorado. The acquisition closed on December 19, 2007. Highlands Ranch Healthcare Plaza consists of two adjacent medical office buildings totaling approximately 80,000 square feet of gross leasable area. Built in 1983 and 1985 on nearly seven acres, the three-story buildings house a diverse and comprehensive mix of medical services, including family practice, dermatology, plastic surgery, orthodontics, onsite lab and diagnostic testing stations, an after-hours urgent care center, and a pharmacy. Highlands Ranch Healthcare Plaza offers ample parking with 335 parking spaces, resulting in a parking ratio of 4.2 spaces per 1000 square feet. The property is currently 82 percent occupied by numerous tenants, including Littleton Pediatric Center, Family & Occupational Medicine and Vision Care Specialists, P.C. Highlands Ranch Healthcare Plaza is located less than one mile from the 231-bed Littleton Adventist Hospital and less than 10 miles from the 156-bed SkyRidge Medical Center.

In 2005, the community was ranked by Robert Charles Lesser & Co, a leading independent real estate advisory firm, as one of the top 10 master-planned communities in the country. Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT purchased the property from BRCP Highlands Ranch, LLC, an unaffiliated third party, which was represented by Geoff Baukol of CBRE. Financing was provided by Wachovia Bank, National Association, LaSalle Bank National Association and KeyBank National Association. As of December 14, 2007, Grubb & Ellis Healthcare REIT has sold approximately 20.4 million shares of its common stock, excluding the shares issued under its distribution reinvestment plan, for more than $203 million through its initial public offering, which began in the third quarter of 2006.

EX-99.1 5 ex99-1.htm PRESS RELEASE CAMBER ENERGY, INC. 8-K Exhibit 99.1 Camber Energy Announces Extinguishment of CATI Debt SAN ANTONIO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / January 24, 2018 / Camber Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: CEI) (the "Company" or "Camber"), based in San Antonio, Texas, a growth-oriented, independent oil and gas company engaged in the development of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, announced the release of the remaining debt of its wholly owned subsidiary, CATI Operating, LLC ("CATI"). The Company has concluded a transaction in which CATI provided its lender with an overriding royalty (equal to 0.01 of 8/8ths of all oil and gas) on CATI's remaining leasehold and the lender released CATI from all remaining indebtedness. The release, which was received Monday and filed in some counties that same day, discharged approximately $5.8 million in principal and interest outstanding according to CATI's Lender. The effective date of the release is December 15, 2017. Additionally, the remaining leasehold and ownership of CATI was transferred to a third party in exchange for that party's assumption of all plugging and abandonment liabilities. That transfer was only effective upon the release of the CATI indebtedness and was subject to the overriding royalty described above. This transfer further reduced the Company's asset retirement obligations related to the above-mentioned plugging and abandonment liabilities. Richard N. Azar II, the CEO of Camber noted that "this release of indebtedness as well as the transfer of the CATI entity with its assets and liabilities further improves the Company's balance sheet by reducing its liabilities. This is all consistent with the plan to reduce Company obligations noted previously in my communications to shareholders". Mr. Azar added, "These transactions further position the Company to focus on its core Oklahoma assets while evaluating comparable acquisition opportunities in order to give us an inventory of lower risk opportunities to add to our reserve base and cash flow". About Camber Energy, Inc.: Based in San Antonio, Texas, Camber Energy (NYSE American: CEI) is a growth-oriented, independent oil and gas company engaged in the development of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids in the Hunton formation in Central Oklahoma in addition to anticipated project development in the San Andres formation in the Permian Basin.

EX-99.3 7 exh993pdii_closingxfinal.htm EXHIBIT 99.3 Exhibit Exhibit 99.3 PDI Completes Sale of Its Commercial Services Business to Publicis Healthcare Communications Group PDI Transitions to Pure Play Molecular Diagnostics Business and Changes Name to Interpace Diagnostics Group Parsippany, NJ, December 22, 2015 -- PDI, Inc. (Nasdaq: PDII) announced the closing of the definitive asset purchase agreement under which Publicis Healthcare Communications Group has acquired PDI's Commercial Services business (CSO) for the initial upfront cash payment of $25.5 million. The total gross cash proceeds are approximately $28.5 million, which includes the upfront cash payment as well as a closing working capital payment. The agreement was previously announced on November 2nd, 2015 and on December 22, 2015 the transaction was approved by a majority of the PDI stockholders. Today, PDI changed its corporate name to Interpace Diagnostics Group (Interpace), Inc. and it will begin trading under the trading symbol IDXG on NASDAQ on December 23, 2015. The Company is using the proceeds from the transaction to pay off its existing senior commercial debt and for ongoing working capital to drive the growth of its molecular diagnostics operations. "With the completion of the transaction, we are now a pure play in the expanding molecular diagnostics industry offering best in class solutions for determining the presence of certain cancers to clinicians and their patients. We are excited about our prospects in this growing and technologically advanced field of medicine. In addition to substantially greater gross margins and faster growth opportunities compared to our previous operations, we believe the pre-cancerous diagnosis area of molecular testing is an optimal area for Interpace to grow its diagnostics business. The pre-cancerous diagnostics market offers significant growth and strong patient value given the substantial opportunity it affords to lower healthcare costs by reducing many unnecessary surgeries and avoid too frequent monitoring. We are keenly focused on growing our test volumes, reimbursement and revenue for our three commercialized innovative tests, bringing to market over the next year a fourth test, and building value for our shareholders", said Nancy Lurker, President and CEO.

EX-99.2 3 livedeal_8k-ex9902.htm PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.2 LiveDeal, Inc. Acquires Online Retailer ModernEveryday.com, Expanding livedeal.com's Offering to Include Consumer Products Company Purchases New Asset for Cash, Note and LiveDeal Stock Valued at $8 Per Share LAS VEGAS, August 18, 2014 - LiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ:LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company that operates livedeal.com, a geo-location based mobile marketing platform that enables restaurants to publish "real-time" and "instant offers" to nearby consumers, today announced that it has acquired leading online retailer, ModernEveryday.com. The acquisition, which was completed using a combination of cash, a note, and LiveDeal restricted stock valued at $8 per share, marks the next step in LiveDeal's evolution to become a leading online presence for consumer deals across a variety of verticals. Modern Everyday reported nearly $10M in revenues last year (unaudited). The Company expects this revenue to significantly increase following an additional infusion of cash into its new division. "This acquisition is very important to LiveDeal in a variety of ways, including Modern Everyday's top-notch team, led by Byron Hsu, and its proprietary software that has the expansive capability to track products and predict consumer behavior and spending habits, ensuring that LiveDeal provides the best products and the best savings for its customers based on knowledge of what they are looking for", said Jon Isaac, CEO of LiveDeal. "Strategically, moderneveryday.com is a perfect fit for us as we expand our offering on our flagship property, livedeal.com, increasing our reach beyond restaurant deals into the consumer products market. It is our intention that consumers look to LiveDeal for money-saving opportunities across various aspects of their lives. We expect that this acquisition will significantly improve our revenues, and we hope it will significantly elevate shareholder value". Part of the Inc. 5000 for three years running and located in Alhambra, CA, Modern Everyday seeks products that are innovative, simple, and which help make day-to-day living easier and more enjoyable. Modern Everyday's goal is to help customers take advantage of the conveniences of today's technology by offering these items on its website. Initially focusing on kitchen products and toys, Modern Everyday offers a mixed approach that focuses on customer demands, ranging from housewares to apparel, from sporting goods to beauty and baby products. All of its products are available online at competitive prices, and its retail store acts as a showroom where consumers can have a more conventional experience. About LiveDeal, Inc.

EX-99.1 3 v349314_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 MuniMae Announces Steps to Mitigate Interest Rate Risk, Generate Cash and Improve Stock Liquidity BALTIMORE, July 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Municipal Mortgage & Equity, LLC (OTC: MMAB) ("MuniMae" or the "Company") announced it has today completed a transaction which had the effect of selling the Company's fixed rate performing multifamily bond portfolio and relieving the Company of the associated debt and preferred equity obligations. The effective price for the $849 million portfolio was equal to fair value at June 30, 2013 and 101% of par, and, in addition to eliminating $799 million of debt and preferred equity obligations, the Company received $79 million in cash. Concurrently with this press release, the Company also filed a current report on Form 8-K providing more details on this transaction. The Company also announced that it intends to convert to a corporation for federal income tax purposes and that it intends to expand its current share buyback plan. "We believe the steps we have announced today are important for our company and our shareholders for several reasons", said Michael Falcone, MuniMae's Chief Executive Officer. "We have disclosed for some time that we were concerned about rising interest rates, and this transaction greatly reduces our exposure to rising rates. For a variety of reasons, the buyer is currently better able than we are to own and manage these assets in both a rising and a volatile interest rate environment. We have retained the participating and defaulted bonds because we believe that with these bonds the benefits of our intensive asset management will more than offset the risks associated with rising rates. We believe there are attractive opportunities to redeploy the capital we have generated, such as buying back more of our outstanding debt, reinvesting in our real estate asset management business or purchasing shares under an expanded share buyback plan". On July 5, 2013 the Company plans to convert from a publicly traded partnership to a corporation for tax purposes. Upon conversion, the Company will no longer pass through its income to shareholders and will no longer issue tax reports on Schedule K-1 for tax years following the conversion date. Instead, the Company will be directly liable for federal, state and local income taxes. Falcone added, "The anticipated switch to corporation status for tax purposes should allow for a wider group of investors to own our stock without the reporting burden associated with publicly-traded-partnerships. This change, combined with the expansion of our stock repurchase plan, which we expect will be effective in mid August, should provide increased liquidity in our stock."

EX-99.2 3 e17315_ex99-2.htm ACRE Realty Investors Inc. Announces Board Approval of Dissolution NEW YORK, June 27, 2017-ACRE Realty Investors Inc. (NYSE MKT: AIII) (the "Company") today announced that, after careful consideration of the available strategic alternatives for the Company presented by management and management's recommendation in favor of the liquidation and dissolution of the Company, the Company's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders for the Company to dissolve, liquidate and distribute to shareholders its available assets. "After evaluating the Company's strategic options, the Board of Directors has reached the conclusion that it is in the best interests of the shareholders to dissolve and liquidate the Company", stated Edward Gellert, the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President. "The Board of Directors and management, together with the Company's advisors, devoted substantial time and effort in seeking, identifying and pursuing opportunities to enhance shareholder value; however, the process to date has not yielded any opportunities viewed by the Board as reasonably likely to provide greater realizable value to shareholders than the complete dissolution and liquidation of the Company", Mr. Gellert continued. The Company's dissolution was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors but is subject to shareholder approval. The Company intends to present this proposal to its shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders at a time, date and location to be announced. The Company will file prescribed proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in advance of that meeting. If approved by the Company's shareholders, the Company intends to file a notice of intent to dissolve with the Georgia Secretary of State. After filing the notice of intent to dissolve, the Company will send or cause written notice of dissolution to be sent to each known claimant against the Company and will publish a notice of intent to dissolve in accordance with the requirements of Georgia law. In connection with the dissolution, the Company intends to liquidate the Company's assets and make adequate provision for all of the Company's existing and reasonably foreseeable debts, liabilities and obligations. The Company will, following notice and, if any claims are untimely or rejected in whole or part, the expiration of the deadline for filing suit by any claimant, distribute the remainder of any assets to its shareholders according to their respective rights and interests. As of June 27, 2017, the Company had one remaining land asset known as the Highway 20 property which is under contract to be sold for a price of $4,725,000, and no outstanding indebtedness. The Company expects the closing of the Highway 20 sale to occur on Wednesday, June 28, 2017. The Company expects that the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. will take immediate action to suspend trading in the Company's common stock on the NYSE MKT exchange following the closing of the Company's sale of the Highway 20 property and to initiate a de-listing of the Company's common stock from the NYSE MKT exchange. As of May 31, 2017, in addition to the Highway 20 property, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $15,231,743. While the Company cannot determine with certainty the amount of liquidating distributions it will make to its shareholders, the Company expects to distribute the remaining amount of such assets (which the Company expects to be substantial) after payment of all of its current and anticipated operating expenses, including expenses associated with the dissolution, and to conduct an orderly wind down of its operations. Important Additional Information will be filed with the SEC This press release is for informational purposes only. It is not a solicitation of a proxy. In connection with the dissolution, the Company intends to file with the SEC a proxy statement and other relevant materials. The Company's shareholders are urged to read the proxy statement and the other relevant materials when they become available because they will contain important information about the dissolution of the Company. Shareholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement and the other relevant materials (when they become available), and any other documents filed by the company with the SEC, at the SEC's web site at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, the Company will make available or mail a copy of the definitive proxy statement to shareholders of record on the record date when it becomes available. Shareholders are urged to read the proxy statement and the other relevant materials when they become available before making any voting or investment decision with respect to the dissolution of the Company. Participants in the Solicitation The Company and its directors, executive officers and certain other members of its management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company's shareholders in connection with the proposed dissolution. Certain information regarding the interests of such directors and executive officers is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017 and will be included in the proxy statement relating to the proposed dissolution when it becomes available.

EX-99.2 3 bakken3358231-ex992.htm PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY COMPANY DATED DECEMBER 20, 2017 Bakken Resources Acquires Producing Mineral Assets HELENA, MONTANA . December 20, 2017 - Bakken Resources, Inc. (OTC: BKKN) recently completed a purchasing program that acquired certain royalty interests in the Eagle Ford basin in Texas and in the Haynesville basin in Louisiana. Bakken Resources, Inc. was the successful purchaser in a total of nine oil and natural gas mineral rights sales facilitated by EnergyNet, a leading mineral rights auction house based in Amarillo, Texas. The aggregate purchase price was $320,410. The Eagle Ford mineral rights include seven one-eighth royalty interests in the Eagle Ford Blakeway Unit A (Dimmit County, Texas) operated by Chesapeake Operating, LLC. The 480-acre parcel currently has five producing wells averaging 1,903 barrels of oil per day and 3,702 thousand cubic-feet per day of natural gas. Current well spacing rules enable three additional wells. The Eagle Ford basin is currently the largest tight oil play in the United States producing more than 2.3 million barrels per day. It spans approximately 11,165 square miles in southern Texas. The Eagle Ford play offers excellent opportunities because of its typically high well quality and because it produces oil, wet gas, and dry gas. Bakken Resources, Inc. also acquired two 50% wellbore interests in a natural gas well operating in the Haynesville Shale basin near DeSoto Parish, Louisiana. The newly completed natural gas well is operated by Chesapeake Operating, LLC. The well averages 19,955 thousand cubic-feet per day of dry natural gas. This wellbore interest contains a royalty interest of 0.051305% (producing minerals) in the wellbore of the Hunter 20&17-12-12 1H ALT horizontal well located in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana operated by Chesapeake Operating, LLC of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The Haynesville is the third largest shale natural gas play in the United States, estimated at 500 trillion cubic-feet of gas (EIA). The Haynesville basin offers advantages over many other gas basins because of its proximity to natural gas transportation pipelines and the short distance to ports and liquefied natural gas facilities where natural gas can be exported or further distributed. Export opportunities should sustain development within the Haynesville basin for years to come. "These acquisitions are part of our commitment to expand and diversify our asset portfolio to lower overall risk. While our total expenditure was under $400,000, we believe that current and future production has a strong opportunity to create long-term value for our shareholders. Basins such as the Eagle Ford and Haynesville are strategic priorities", says Dan Anderson, Bakken's chief financial officer. ABOUT BAKKEN RESOURCES, INC . BAKKEN RESOURCES, INC. is an oil and gas company with activities currently focused on acquiring mineral leases and non-operating oil mineral interests throughout the United States.

EX-99.1 8 ex99-1.htm PRESS RELEASE ARC Group Worldwide 8-K Exhibit 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 24, 2014 ARC Group Worldwide Announces Acquisition of Kecy Corporation · Acquisition of Precision Metal Stamping Company Further Expands ARC's Strategic Capabilities in Metalworking and Enhances Position as "One-Stop-Shop" for Advanced Manufacturing and 3D Printing · Broadens ARC's Customer Base, Providing Additional Cross-selling Opportunities · Transaction Expected to be Immediately Accretive · Pro Forma for Recent Acquisitions, ARC's CY2013 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA was Greater Than $120 Million and $24 Million, Respectively DELAND, FL, June 24, 2014 -- ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARCW), a leading global provider of advanced manufacturing and 3D printing solutions, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement for acquisition of the business of Kecy Corporation ("Kecy"). Kecy is one of the industry's leading precision metal stamping companies, utilizing advanced manufacturing, robotics, automation, and die-making equipment. The company also offers value-added secondary processing with an experienced design and production staff. The transaction is structured as an acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Kecy (the "Acquisition"). The closing of the Kecy Acquisition is expected to occur on June 25, 2014. The addition of Kecy's precision metal stamping capabilities to ARC's portfolio of advanced manufacturing and 3D printing services further expands ARC's holistic solution approach. Further, Kecy provides ARC with new customers and capabilities, enabling cross-selling opportunities across the full suite of ARC products and services. ARC acquired the ISO 9001:2000 certified company's business for $26 million, in an all-cash transaction. Kecy generated revenues in excess of $26 million during the 2013 calendar year. Pro forma for the Acquisition, together with ATC and Thixoforming acquisitions, ARC's calendar year 2013 revenue and adjusted EBITDA was greater than $120 million and $24 million, respectively. Kecy, founded in Hudson, MI in 1988, became a leader in high quality, precision metal stamping with a focus on continuous improvement and innovation. ARC will operate the Kecy business out of a modern 84,000 square foot facility with technologically advanced manufacturing and die-making equipment. ARC will continue to offer Kecy's highly flexible product portfolio that is customized for customers' unique needs, with metal stamping capabilities ranging from prototype parts through low- to high-volume production. "Given ARC's leading position in metal injection molding and our focus on metal 3D printing, the Acquisition of Kecy's business is a natural strategic fit to further bolster our metalworking capabilities. We see considerable metal stamping applications in our existing customer base, and are excited to bring these capabilities in-house, to offer a more holistic solution to our clients. Further, having been the first supplier to Kecy of metal 3D printed prototypes, we see a compelling opportunity to bring this exciting new technology to their customer base to further differentiate our combined offering and shorten the "speed-to-market". Kecy's utilization of advanced technologies, such as automation and robotics, illustrates our conviction that manufacturing is returning to the United States. Further, Kecy is a promising example of how ARC can accelerate technology adoption, by bringing additional capabilities, such as 3D printing and our proprietary online quoting software to customers", said Jason T. Young, Chairman and CEO of ARC. "The acquisition of Kecy's business should add meaningful cash flow to ARC, and we expect it to be immediately accretive to our earnings. The Acquisition is also a good example of our ongoing overall acquisition strategy, which is to buy strategic companies at prudent multiples of cash flow, in order to increase our customer base and provide material cross-selling opportunities for our 3D printing and other advanced manufacturing capabilities. Being our customer's full solution provider today will enable us to transition them to new manufacturing technologies over time, as 3D printing and other advanced processes begin to take market share from legacy forms of fabrication". Investor Conference Call A conference call to discuss the Acquisition is scheduled for Wednesday, June 25, 2014 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. To participate by phone, the U.S. dial-in number is 888-572-7034 and the international dial-in number is 719-785-1753. Please reference conference ID# 6660165.

EX-99.1 9 e602565_ex99-1.txt PRESS RELEASE Rand Logistics Inc. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RAND LOGISTICS ACQUIRES TWO FULLY COMMITTED VESSELS AND SECURES USE OF A THIRD VESSEL New York, NY - August 28, 2007 - Rand Logistics Inc. (NASDAQ: RLOG, RLOGW, RLOGU) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lower Lakes Towing, Ltd., acquired two conventional bulk carriers from the Voyageur group of companies for 25 million CAD (approximately U.S. $23.7 million). Additionally, the Company entered into a contract of affreightment with Voyageur for the exclusive use of a third vessel, and secured an option to acquire this vessel for 5 million CAD. Management anticipates the three vessels will be immediately accretive to EBITDA and net income for Rand. Lower Lakes management has negotiated or assumed long-term contracts with premier grain and other companies that are both current and new customers for these vessels. The majority of the cargo to be carried on the vessels will be grain. Voyageur will continue to provide all crew manning on the three vessels. The acquisition was financed through an 18 million CAD (approximately U.S. $17.1 million) term loan increase from GE Canada Finance Holding Company. The balance of the purchase price was paid with Rand cash on hand, including cash raised as a result of recent exercises of Rand warrants. Scott Bravener, President and CEO of Lower Lakes Towing, commented, "These vessels further diversify our revenue and customer base, and substantially expand our capacity in a market where demand exceeds supply. The customer contracts we have signed cover the full capacity of the two acquired vessels, and the majority of the third vessel. We are transferring a portion of our self-unloading business to these vessels, enabling us to pursue additional self-unloading cargo opportunities and maximize the utilization rates on the newly added vessels. The vessels also enable further penetration of our existing grain customers. Additionally, we are fortunate to be purchasing these vessels as they enter the most profitable months of the grain shipping season due to the seasonality of harvesting". Laurence S. Levy, Chairman and CEO of Rand Logistics, stated, "We are very enthusiastic about this acquisition and the benefits it brings to Rand. In addition to diversifying the Company's customer base, this acquisition leverages our existing infrastructure and should be immediately accretive to earnings. This investment further validates our strategy of building our platform through opportunistic, in-market, "tuck-in" acquisitions". The vessels are Canadian flagged, and operate in the conventional dry bulk trades on the Great Lakes. The two acquired vessels are 642 feet and 730 feet in length and were built in 1952 and 1983, respectively. The third vessel measures 609 feet in length and was built in 1967. The Company believes that the vessels have been well maintained and have long remaining economic life spans. Further details regarding this transaction will be included in the Company's Form 8-K being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by August 31, 2007.

EX-99.1 11 v121904_ex99-1.htm Unassociated Document EXHIBIT 99.1 Contact: Wayne I. Danson Chief Executive Officer John E. Donahue Chief Financial Officer Ph: 646-227-1600 Encompass Group Finalizes the Acquisition of Tritronics Inc. New York, New York, August 4, 2008 - Encompass Group Affiliates, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ECGA), an integrated company serving the consumer electronics segment of the reverse logistics industry, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of privately held Tritronics Inc. An industry-leading original equipment manufacturer parts distributor for over thirty years, Tritronics has operations in Baltimore and Miami, and distributes consumer electronic replacement parts and accessories to thousands of independent service dealers and OEM authorized service centers throughout the United States and Mexico. The Company acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Tritronics in exchange for consideration consisting of $9 million in cash, a subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $1 million and an equity interest in the Company in the form of approximately 2.8 billion restricted shares of the Company's common stock. The acquisition and related transaction costs were financed from the issuance of Series B subordinated notes from the Company's existing lending sources and the sale of approximately $4.2 million of Series E redeemable non-convertible preferred stock to certain of the Company's existing investors, principally to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital, LLC. Wayne I. Danson, Encompass Group's president and chief executive officer explained the strategic impact of the acquisition. "With Tritronics joining the Encompass family of companies, our distribution power is dramatically enhanced. It immediately enables us to expand our distribution from a largely institutional base to include thousands of smaller independent service centers and authorized service centers operating throughout the United States." said Danson. "Coupled with its sister company, Vance Baldwin, Tritronics will also expand our service and value-added offerings, and adds the proven management talent of Tritronics' Kim Wagner, Randy Williams and Jim Scarff, each of whom will continue to manage and operate Tritronics' business". Danson noted that, "The Tritronics acquisition follows Encompass Group's recent designation as the sole primary North American digital parts distributor for Philips Electronics. These two events will result in an immediate growth in our distribution business of over 50%, less than one year after our acquisition of Vance Baldwin." stated Danson. "We believe this is another major step forward in executing our strategy to be a vertically integrated full-service provider in the reverse logistics segment of the consumer electronics industry". Kim Wagner, President and CEO of Tritronics, agreed that the synergies resulting from the acquisition would create a powerful market advantage. "Our family continues to be committed to the independent consumer electronics repair industry. Now, by joining forces with a dynamic and growing organization such as Encompass Group, we'll be better positioned to offer a broader range of value-added services to our customers" said Wagner. "We are very excited about this milestone in the company's long history". For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, Tritronics recorded sales revenue of approximately $21.8 million (unaudited).

EX-99.1 3 xchange_8kex99-1.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED JULY 28, 2005 EXHIBIT 99.1 For Immediate Release - Thursday, July 28, 2005 X-CHANGE CORPORATION RE-ACQUIRES AIRGATE TECHNOLOGIES, INC. DALLAS--(Business Wire)--July 28, 2005. The X-Change Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: XCHC) has completed the acquisition of AirGATE Technologies, Inc., an early-stage company specializing in radio frequency identification (RFID), wireless and intelligent, sensor technology. In September 2004, to focus on opportunities in the oil and gas industry, the X-Change Corporation sold its former interest in AirGATE, an RFID Company, to the company's employees. The X-Change Corporation received 3.5 Million shares of its common stock and retained a percentage interest in AirGATE projects under development. In December 2004, AirGATE received a purchase order from a Fortune 1000 technology company with interests in the oil and gas industry for the development of a radio frequency enabled tool. Phase I is complete and the customer and AirGATE are evaluating the results, and expect further testing in the near future in Phase II of the project. AirGATE and its customer have filed two patent applications based on the system and technology. With a keen interest in the oil industry and AirGATE's development of oil field technology and its potential, a decision was made by X-Change Corporation executives and board members to re-acquire AirGATE. In exchange for AirGATE, X-Change Corporation issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of AirGATE. In addition to its work in the petroleum industry, AirGATE has continued research and development on its child safety seat "Smart Buckle" technology and has conducted RFID tests in aerospace, medical instruments and automotive component re-manufacture with leaders in those industries. In conjunction with the acquisition of AirGATE, Charles Stidham has resigned as Chief Executive Officer and director at X-Change Corporation, and Dean Elliot resigned as President of the Company. Michael L. Sheriff takes on the new position as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at X-Change Corporation. Scott R. Thompson remains as CFO, Treasurer and will replace Mark Pierce as Secretary. Mr. Thompson also remains a director, and Robert Barbee continues as a director and President of the Company's oil and gas subsidiary. Additional information is available in the Company's 8K filing. The new management team has evaluated and will continue to appraise the prior activities of the X-Change Corporation. "Just as AirGATE has focused its efforts on technology services with an emphasis in the oil and gas industry, it is important that the X-Change Corporation focus its energies on proven opportunities as well", said Sheriff. "In reviewing past information and records, we believe that -more- Page 2 X-Change continued... information released on financial projections, reserves and potential opportunities may have been overly optimistic. In addition, we continue to evaluate the opportunities in Cambodia, but have not yet established a permanent presence in that country. Over the next ninety days, senior management will evaluate the Company's position relative to leases, production, reserves and overseas opportunities. If it is determined that these areas are not in the long term best interests of the company, they will be liquidated or sold".

BUYS ATLANTA-AREA APARTMENT COMMUNITY FOR $43.5 MILLION ATLANTA, Sept 6, 2017 - Steadfast Apartment REIT III, Inc. (STAR III) announced that it has acquired Ansley at Princeton Lakes, a gated 306-unit garden-style apartment-home community located in southwest Atlanta. The purchase price was approximately $43.5 million. "We believe the Atlanta area is well-positioned for long-term success as it continues to benefit from having the tenth largest economy in the U.S. and a growing presence as a major distribution hub", said Ella Neyland, president of Steadfast Apartment REIT III, Inc. "Additionally, Ansley at Princeton Lakes provides a convenient housing option for the 63,000 employees of the nation's busiest airport". Completed in 2009, Ansley at Princeton Lakes includes 11 two-and three-story buildings with one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes that average 1,000 square feet. In-place rents average $1,254 per month and the community currently is 96 percent occupied. STAR3-PR25-0717 Ansley at Princeton Lakes residents enjoy a saltwater pool, fitness center, pet play area, luxury clubhouse and business center, theater with stadium seating, internet café, outdoor BBQ grills and a car care center. Every apartment home in the community features nine- or ten-foot ceilings, a washer/dryer or full-size connections, vinyl wood plank flooring in wet areas, walk-in closets, central air conditioning, ceiling fans and balconies or patios. Located in Atlanta, the community is just four miles from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Georgia's largest employment center, and is also a short commute to downtown Atlanta. Employers headquartered in the area include Georgia's largest private employer, Delta Airlines, as well as Porsche North America, and Chick-fil-A. Ansley at Princeton Lakes offers easy access to the 1.2 million-square-foot Camp Creek Marketplace, which includes Lowe's Home Improvement, BJ's Wholesale Club, Target, Publix Super Market, and many other nationally recognized retailers and restaurants.

EX-99.1 2 ex991dunbarclosing.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit Exhibit 99.1 The Brink's Company 1801 Bayberry Court P.O. Box 18100 Richmond, VA 23226-8100 USA Tel. 804.289.9600 Fax 804.289.9770 Contact Investor Relations 804.289.9709 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Brink's Completes Acquisition of Dunbar Armored RICHMOND, Va., August 13, 2018 - The Brink's Company (NYSE:BCO), the global leader in total cash management, secure route-based logistics and payment solutions, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Dunbar Armored, Inc., the fourth largest U.S. cash management company, for approximately $520 million in cash. Dunbar generates annual revenue of approximately $390 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $43 million. The acquisition is expected to increase the company's annual non-GAAP earnings by approximately 90 cents per share within two years. Management plans to update its 2018 guidance to include expected results from the acquisition when it releases third-quarter results in October. Brink's expects to realize approximately $40 million to $45 million in annual cost synergies related to route density, branch optimization and administrative efficiencies. The company plans to invest approximately $50 million in incremental capital expenditures over the next three years to support branch rationalization and reinvestment in Dunbar's fleet. Full integration and synergies are expected to be achieved over three years, with the majority achieved by the end of the second year. Doug Pertz, Brink's president and chief executive officer, said: "We welcome the Dunbar employees into the Brink's family, and look forward to a rapid integration of these two great companies so that we can accelerate our efforts to drive substantial revenue and profit growth in our combined U.S. operations. We've now fully deployed the cash on our balance sheet to drive accretive returns. This acquisition also enables us to significantly reduce our tax rate, resulting in future earnings growth that should be more consistent with the strong growth we've already demonstrated in operating income". The transaction is expected to facilitate utilization of the company's existing tax attributes and reduce its non-GAAP effective tax rate by 100 to 200 basis points in 2019. Combined with other actions, Brink's expects to reduce its non-GAAP effective tax rate by 400 to 600 basis points over the next several years. Brink's does not expect to pay U.S. federal cash taxes for at least six years due to utilization of its existing tax attributes and the benefit of an IRC 338(h)(10) election on this transaction.

EX-99.3 4 wi2110ex993.txt Exhibit 99.3 Walter Industries Announces First-Quarter and Full-Year 2005 Earnings Expectations TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Walter Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WLT) today announced first-quarter and full-year 2005 earnings expectations. Based on current business forecasts and anticipated market conditions, the Company expects to generate full-year 2005 earnings in the range of $2.20 to $2.80 per diluted share. Expectations for first-quarter earnings are in the range of $0.25 to $0.33 per diluted share. These expectation ranges reflect the adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-8 ("EITF 04- 8") in December 2004, which requires that the dilutive effect of the Company's $175 million contingent convertible senior subordinated notes be included in calculating diluted earnings per share using the "if converted" method. The range of full-year expectations reflects sensitivity in the coal business related to potential production and transportation issues, and the ability to achieve significant, attractively priced spot sales of metallurgical coal. Also, U.S. Pipe's margins are heavily impacted by scrap raw material costs, which have been volatile and difficult to predict. Key factors driving the Company's earnings expectations: * Significantly higher metallurgical coal pricing, especially in the third and fourth quarters of 2005, as well as higher coke and ductile iron pipe prices, are expected to drive increases in revenues and operating income at Jim Walter Resources, Sloss and U.S. Pipe, respectively. * Jim Walter Resources is expecting seven longwall moves to occur throughout the year, including three moves in the first quarter, which will impact production volume and temporarily increase extraction costs per ton. Also, less than optimal geologic conditions within Mine No. 5 could negatively impact production and operating results as its remaining coal reserves have become more costly and difficult to extract. * Financing is expected to continue its solid operating performance in 2005, however, a lower overall mortgage portfolio balance and slowing prepayment income is expected to negatively impact operating income. * Unit completions and margins at Homebuilding are expected to improve during 2005. However, given the long cycle times in the business, a profitable run rate is not anticipated until the latter part of 2005. * First-quarter expectations reflect seasonality in volumes, primarily at U.S. Pipe and Homebuilding.

(NYSE: QTWO), a provider of secure, cloud-based virtual banking solutions, today announced the acquisition of Lincoln, Nebraska-based Centrix Solutions, Inc., a privately-held company that provides financial institutions with products that detect fraud, manage risk and simplify compliance. The acquisition furthers Q2's commitment to accelerating the development and adoption of innovative secure banking platform solutions for community financial institutions across the country. Effective today, Centrix Solutions, Inc. will now be branded as Centrix Solutions, a Q2 company. Centrix's co-founder and president Tim Schnell will continue to run the business and report directly to Q2's CEO Matt Flake. "Centrix Solutions is known for first-class offerings and highly-impressive customer service. We plan to further that reputation by investing in and growing Centrix. Their vision, culture and commitment to community financial institutions matches the vision and standards we have at Q2", said Matt Flake, president and CEO of Q2.

The acquisition of Centrix provides Q2 with the ability to deliver additional expertise and solutions that strengthen Q2's security, compliance and risk management capabilities and offerings. Centrix and Q2 have partnered together for years with many mutual clients, making today's acquisition a natural extension of that relationship.

Centrix has a loyal following with several of the leading digital banking and core processing vendors in Q2's market and is serving over 316 credit union and community bank clients across the country. "It's an exciting day for us here at Centrix. When it comes to virtual banking, no brand is more respected than Q2 among community financial institutions. Being a part of Q2 bolsters not only our resources but our infrastructure, empowering us to advance our business while continuing to serve our clients at the rate and with the quality we are known for", said Tim Schnell, co-founder and president of Centrix. "It's a smart union in that we are able to tap into the robust infrastructure Q2 has established, allowing us to focus on our mission of delivering innovative products and services to the vast number of community financial institutions both companies are committed to serving". Q2 plans to support Centrix in conducting business in the manner that has made them a trusted brand while providing them with the infrastructure and technology support to advance product offerings across the three areas in which Centrix is so respected, including treasury management, compliance and risk management and bank operations solutions.

EX-99 2 newsrelease.htm PRESS RELEASE Simmons First Completes Acquisition of Delta Trust EXHIBIT 99.1 Simmons First Completes Acquisition of Delta Trust PINE BLUFF, Ark., Sept. 2, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simmons First National Corporation (Nasdaq:SFNC) announced today the completion of the Delta Trust & Banking Corporation acquisition. The adoption of the merger agreement by the companies was previously announced in March, 2014. The Delta Trust shareholders overwhelmingly approved the merger at a special shareholders meeting held on August 29, 2014, and the transaction was completed on August 31, 2014. Delta Trust & Bank will temporarily remain a separate bank and continue its banking operations as a subsidiary of SFNC until the systems conversion into Simmons Bank, which is scheduled for completion Monday, October 27, 2014. The acquisition will further expand Simmons Bank's presence in south, central and northwest Arkansas and allows Simmons Bank the opportunity to provide services that have not previously been offered with the addition of Delta Trust's insurance agency and securities brokerage service. The combined institution will continue to provide customers with innovative products and services while delivering exceptional customer service. The branch network will remain separate until after systems conversion. Until that time, customers will continue to transact their business as they have always done using their respective branch networks. "We are excited about the blending of our 110 year history with the 104 year history of Delta Trust, allowing us to enhance the customer experience throughout the markets we serve", George A. Makris, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Simmons First National Corporation said. "This merger is another positive step for our organization and we are confident that it brings additional long-term benefits to our customers, associates, shareholders and the communities we serve". Simmons First National Corporation is an Arkansas based financial holding company with total assets of $4.8 billion and conducting financial operations throughout Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri. The Company's common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "SFNC". CONTACT: DAVID W.

CSB is an Iowa-chartered bank that operates ten banking locations throughout the Des Moines metropolitan area. As of June 30, 2016, CSB had $571 million in assets, $433 million in loans and $481 million in deposits. In the transaction, QCR Holdings acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of CSB for cash consideration of $80 million.

EX-99.1 5 a5753213ex99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Culp Announces Acquisition of Bodet & Horst USA Knitted Mattress Fabric Operations HIGH POINT, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Culp, Inc. (NYSE: CFI) today announced the acquisition of the knitted mattress fabrics operation of Bodet & Horst USA, LP ("B&H"). This business will be operated by Culp Home Fashions, the mattress fabrics division of Culp, Inc. For the past six years, B&H has been the company's primary source of knitted mattress fabric, a product category that has grown substantially in recent years for Culp's mattress fabric business. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, Culp is acquiring B&H's equipment, inventory and certain intellectual property. Culp will continue to manage the High Point manufacturing operation at the existing location with no production interruption or change in the day to day operations of the plant. The company is financing the purchase with a long term unsecured note with one of its current lenders, with no principal payment for three years. Commenting on the announcement, Frank Saxon, president and chief executive officer of Culp, Inc., stated, "We are pleased to announce the acquisition of B&H and believe this transaction will further enhance Culp's strong service platform for our customers. Demand for this product line has grown significantly, as knits are increasingly being utilized on mattresses at volume retail price points. Mattress fabrics have been a driving force in Culp's business and accounted for 54 percent of the company's sales in the fourth quarter ended April 2008. Additionally, we have recently completed a $5.0 million capital project to significantly strengthen our woven mattress fabrics manufacturing operations and provide further reactive capacity for servicing our customers. With this weaving expansion and the completion of the B&H acquisition, Culp Home Fashions has substantially increased its commitment to the bedding industry. We are now positioned with a large and modern, vertically integrated manufacturing platform in all major product categories of the mattress fabrics industry. Our strategic focus in mattress fabrics continues to be providing our customers with outstanding delivery performance, quality, innovation and value". "With this acquisition, Culp Home Fashions expects to improve upon supply logistics from pattern inception to fabric delivery, allowing accelerated responsiveness, stability and service for its customers," added Iv Culp, president of Culp Home Fashions. "We also look forward to extending our strong working relationship with B&H, one of the leading producers of knitted mattress fabrics, with operations in several European countries. Going forward, we will continue to collaborate on manufacturing projects and supply each other with products in different parts of the world. Culp will also serve as the primary agent for B&H to distribute sewn covers and fire protectors/socks to the North American mattress trade. We now have the unique ability to leverage the strengths of both companies and pursue additional growth opportunities in the global mattress fabrics business". Culp, Inc. is one of the world's largest marketers of mattress fabrics for bedding and upholstery fabrics for furniture. The company's fabrics are used principally in the production of bedding products and residential and commercial upholstered furniture. This release contains statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 27A of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934). Such statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Further, forward-looking statements are intended to speak only as of the date on which they are made. Forward-looking statements are statements that include projections, expectations or beliefs about future events or results or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. Such statements are often but not always characterized by qualifying words such as "expect", "believe," "estimate", "plan" and "project" and their derivatives, and include but are not limited to statements about the company's future operations, production levels, sales, SG&A or other expenses, margins, gross profit, operating income, earnings or other performance measures. Factors that could influence the matters discussed in such statements include the level of housing starts and sales of existing homes, consumer confidence, trends in disposable income, and general economic conditions. Decreases in these economic indicators could have a negative effect on the company's business and prospects. Likewise, increases in interest rates, particularly home mortgage rates, and increases in consumer debt or the general rate of inflation, could affect the company adversely. Changes in consumer tastes or preferences toward products not produced or marketed by the company could erode demand for the company's products. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies could make the company's products less competitive on the basis of price in markets outside the United States and strengthening of currencies in Canada and China can have a negative impact on the company's sales in the U.S. of products produced in those countries. Also, economic and political instability in international areas could affect the company's operations or sources of goods in those areas, as well as demand for the company's products in international markets. The company's level of success in integrating the business operations and assets acquired from Bodet & Horst could have an effect on operating efficiency, costs, and ultimately on profits. Finally, unanticipated delays or costs in executing restructuring actions could cause the cumulative effect of restructuring actions to fail to meet the objectives set forth by management. Other factors that could affect the matters discussed in forward-looking statements are included in the company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the "Risk Factors" section in the company's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.

EX-99.1 19 c49293_ex99-1.txt Exhibit 99.1 RODMAN & RENSHAW COMPLETES REVERSE MERGER TRANSACTION WITH ENTHRUST FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. SHARE EXCHANGE TRANSACTION VALUED AT $175 MILLION NEW YORK, NY, JULY 11, 2007 - Enthrust Financial Services, Inc. (OTCBB: EFSV), a shell corporation, today announced that it has consummated a "reverse merger" with Rodman & Renshaw Holding, LLC, a full service investment bank. Enthrust will continue to operate Rodman & Renshaw's current business under the leadership of Rodman & Renshaw's executive management team. Enthrust intends to change its name to Rodman & Renshaw Capital Group, Inc. The transaction was consummated as a share exchange pursuant to which the members of Rodman & Renshaw and the investors in Rodman & Renshaw's March 2007 private placement financing were issued shares of Enthrust common stock. Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P acted as financial advisor to Enthrust and issued a fairness opinion that the transaction was fair to Enthrust's stockholders. Immediately after the exchange transaction, Enthrust will have 25 million shares of common stock outstanding. An imputed value of $7.00 per share was used in connection with the transaction. "The successful completion of the exchange represents a major milestone for Rodman & Renshaw, positioning the company for growth", said John J. Borer III, Chief Executive Officer. "This "going-public" transaction, coupled with the $20 million private placement financing which we completed in March 2007 with a group of strategic investors, will enable us to continue to grow our business platform by adding new products to serve our existing clients, hire professionals to supplement our existing staff and build new teams to focus on sectors of the economy other than life science". Additional information regarding the share exchange transaction is set forth in Enthrust's Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 11, 2007, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ABOUT RODMAN & RENSHAW Rodman & Renshaw is a full service investment bank dedicated to providing investment banking services to companies that have significant recurring capital needs due to their growth and development strategies, along with research and sales and trading services to institutional investor clients that focus on such companies.

EX-99.1 3 ex-99d1.htm EX-99.1 Ex99_1 Exhibit 99.1 VASCO Strengthens Position in E-Signature and Identity Verification Markets with Acquisition of Leading Customer Onboarding Provider Dealflo Improves competitive position of e-signature offering with end-to-end financial transaction management and consumer financial agreement automation CHICAGO and LONDON, May 30, 2018 - VASCO Data Security, Inc. (NASDAQ: VDSI), a global leader in digital identity security, transaction security and business productivity, today announced it has acquired privately-held Dealflo for £41 million in cash. In a separate press release today, VASCO introduced its Trusted Identity (TID) platform and announced its name is changing to OneSpan. Dealflo is a rapidly growing and leading provider of identity verification and end-to-end financial agreement automation solutions. Its flexible workflow management system automates the full lifecycle of customer onboarding by providing a flexible and automated application process, integration of third- party identity verification services, tailored and configurable contract generation, e-signature capture and secure vaulting. Dealflo has achieved significant success in providing onboarding solutions to the consumer and asset financing sectors primarily in the U.K. "The combination of two leading providers of solutions for agreement automation creates a strong offering for customer onboarding", said Aite Group's Retail Banking and Payments Research Director, Julie Conroy. "Financial institutions in particular have a growing demand for onboarding automation solutions and coming from OneSpan, a leading provider in the financial services industry, this will make for a very compelling offering in the market". Dealflo's agreement automation platform provides a flexible API that facilities the integration of multiple third party solutions for each step of the financial transaction management process. Dealflo has partnerships with leading identity verification providers Equifax, iovation (being acquired by TransUnion), Mitek, and GB Group, as well as OneSpan Sign (formerly eSignLive). OneSpan will continue to support these relationships and plans to increase the number of e-sign partnerships as it expands Dealflo's presence globally. "This acquisition will enable us to grow our subscription revenue and Dealflo's technology will be a major differentiator for our eSignLive solution", said VASCO CEO, Scott Clements. "In addition, Dealflo's identity verification capabilities will allow us to accelerate the launch of our TID platform based onboarding, identity and anti-fraud solutions". There are significant synergies between the companies. Dealflo is headquartered in London with its development center in Montreal, the home of OneSpan's largest development center. In addition, OneSpan Sign is already integrated into Dealflo's platform and more than half of Dealflo's customers are also OneSpan's, including leading financial institutions and organizations such as BMW, Santander, BNP Paribas and Mercedes Benz. "The entire Dealflo team is thrilled that we are joining a leader in the financial services segment that can accelerate growth of our solution and expand into new regions where OneSpan is very well- established", stated Dealflo Founder and CEO, Abe Smith. "We have a deep history with OneSpan Sign and look forward to working together and expanding our integration into OneSpan's powerful and innovative Trusted Identity platform". 2018 Guidance Update As a result of the transaction, OneSpan has revised its guidance for the full-year 2018 as follows: · Revenue is expected to be in the range of $201 million to $211 million; and · Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $15 million to $19 million. Clements added, "While our revised guidance reflects the near-term financial impact of acquiring an early-stage technology platform, we see tremendous opportunity to leverage this strategic addition and deliver significant long-term revenue and EBITDA growth in the years to come".

EX-99.1 5 file5.htm PRESS RELEASE DATED DECEMBER 1, 2006 EXHIBIT 99.1 Press release dated December 1, 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HandHeld Entertainment Increases Position in the User-Generated Humorous Videos Marketplace by Acquiring FunMansion.com for $1.1 Million FunMansion.com adds approximately 1.5 million monthly unique visitors/potential customers to HandHeld Entertainment's growing network of Web sites; combined monthly traffic of FunMansion.com, Dorks.com and ZVUE.com now provide a growing collection of user-generated comedy videos (along with commercially produced music videos, television programming and feature length movies) to potentially 2.5 million unique visitors per month SAN FRANCISCO and PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - Dec. 1, 2006 - HandHeld Entertainment™ (NASDAQ: ZVUE, ZVUEW) today announced it has acquired FunMansion.com™ for $1.1 million ($350,000 in cash at closing, $150,000 in cash payable over 12 months and a five-year $600,000 note convertible into common stock). FunMansion.com has averaged approximately 1.5 million unique visitors per month and more than 3.5 million page views per month during the past two months. "In a little more than two weeks, we have begun assembling a significant collection of user-generated video content by acquiring Dorks.com™ and FunMansion.com", said Jeff Oscodar, president and chief executive officer of HandHeld Entertainment. "The FunMansion.com acquisition takes us to potentially 2.5 million unique visitors per month, with a combined total of more than 5.4 million page views per month, all tied to the comedy/extreme marketplace. We believe that these funny user-generated and user-submitted videos, photos, jokes and more tend to attract demographics that will be attractive to advertisers and sponsors. We also believe that the combination of ZVUE.com's commercial content, coupled with our rapidly growing library of user generated content from Dorks.com, FunMansion.com and ZVUE.com's own FREE Stuff! site, will be a powerful combination for our company." HandHeld Entertainment's user-generated Web properties - Dorks.com, FunMansion.com and FREE Stuff! - now attract nearly 2.5 million unique visitors each month, particularly in the comedy/extreme space. In addition, HandHeld Entertainment announced earlier in November a content agreement with Comedy Time Network to make hundreds of hours of stand-up comedy routines and sketches available for purchase at ZVUE.com. Taken in combination, these two acquisitions and the Comedy Time agreement have helped transform HandHeld Entertainment into a leading provider of comedic/humorous videos for both portable video players and PCs. Representative of the humorous user-generated and user-submitted videos posted recently on FunMansion.com are the following: . Nutty Paintball Prank at http://funmansion.com/html/Nutty-Paintball-Prank.html ; . Finger Scratching DJ at http://funmansion.com/html/Finger-Scratching-DJ.html ; . Idiots Playing with Fire at http://funmansion.com/html/Idiots-Playing-With-Fire.html ; and . Female Reporter Loses Her Cool at http://funmansion.com/html/Female-Reporter-Loses-Her-Cool.html . "FunMansion.com has been around for more than five years, and we've seen a strong increase in visitors and page views during the past 18 months", said Mary Dunne, founder and owner of FunMansion.com. "I'm really excited to be joining the ZVUE.com network of Web sites. Now I can continue to build the site that I love and can do so with greater resources and scale. Those resources should accelerate FunMansion's growth and bring FunMansion's user-generated videos to a larger audience". 1 HandHeld Entertainment also has more than 4,400 videos available for purchase on ZVUE.com today out of more than 11,000 video selections it has under contract. These selections include music videos, anime features, television shows, movies, cartoons, independent films, documentaries, news, entertainment and sports programs from companies ranging from Sony BMG to IMG Media and from Canadian Broadcast Corp. to Fun Little Movies. Launched in February 2001, FunMansion.com hosts free user-generated videos, photo slideshows and Flash-based games and movies. About HandHeld Entertainment, Inc.

EX-99.1 3 ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 ex99-1.htm Exhibit 99.1 Verdant acquires 24Tech Corporation to enhance information integration between energy technologies. LOS ANGELES, September 5, 2012 - VRDT Corporation ("Verdant") announced today that it has completed its acquisition of 24Tech Corporation ("24Tech"), an information technology ("IT") integration company. The move creates an internal information nerve center for Verdant and better facilitates the flow of that information not only within the various existing divisions within the company, but also to and from Verdant's strategic partners and acquisition targets across the globe. "24Tech has an extremely loyal customer base and a healthy revenue stream", stated Graham Norton-Standen, Verdant's Executive Chairman. "This move makes sound business sense to us at Verdant on 2 fronts: we get to continue to utilize the expertise of 24Tech's team, only now on an internal basis, while at the same time we believe that, as part of the Verdant family of companies, we can help it expand into new markets to further enhance its profitability". "We have had a long-standing relationship with Verdant and have always believed in its vision", said 24Tech's President, Monte Winegar, "we are excited to be participating directly in achieving that vision as part of the Verdant family, expanding our reach, and continuing our relationship with our existing client base without missing a beat". ### For more information, please contact Maria Foskaris at (949) 633-3467.

EX-99.1 2 a14-20678_5ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 News Release NYSE: BPL Buckeye Partners, L.P. One Greenway Plaza Suite 600 Houston, TX 77046 Contact: Kevin J. Goodwin Vice President and Treasurer irelations@buckeye.com (800) 422-2825 BUCKEYE PARTNERS, L.P. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF $860 MILLION ACQUISITION OF 80% INTEREST IN CORPUS CHRISTI TERMINAL COMPLEX AND ASSOCIATED EAGLE FORD ASSETS IN SOUTH TEXAS HOUSTON, September 16, 2014 - Buckeye Partners, L.P. ("Buckeye") (NYSE: BPL) announced today that it has completed its $860 million purchase of an 80 percent interest in Buckeye Texas Partners LLC. Buckeye Texas Partners LLC and its subsidiaries, which are owned jointly with Trafigura AG ("Trafigura"), will own and operate a vertically integrated system of midstream assets including a deep-water, high volume marine terminal located on the Corpus Christi Ship Channel, a condensate splitter and LPG storage complex in Corpus Christi and three crude oil and condensate gathering facilities in the Eagle Ford shale. Trafigura will be a key customer of these assets under 7- to 10-year minimum volume throughput, storage and tolling agreements. "We are excited to incorporate this unique integrated system of assets into the Buckeye portfolio", said Clark C. Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This acquisition expands our geographic and product diversity with a premier position on the U.S. Gulf Coast and in the prolific Eagle Ford shale. We are excited about our partnership with Trafigura, a global leader in international commodities trading and logistics. Once the initial phase of expansion is complete, these assets will form an integrated system with connectivity from the production in the field to the marine terminal infrastructure in Corpus Christi, creating a logistics platform with significant flexibility and optionality. In addition, 100% of the cash flows associated with these assets are supported by fee-based take-or-pay revenue commitments under 7- to 10-year commercial agreements with Trafigura. We expect this acquisition to be highly accretive to our distributable cash flow per limited partner unit beginning in 2016 and to position Buckeye for acceleration of distribution growth". About Buckeye Partners, L.P. Buckeye Partners, L.P. (NYSE: BPL) is a publicly traded master limited partnership and owns and operates a diversified network of integrated assets providing midstream logistic solutions, primarily consisting of the transportation, storage, and marketing of liquid petroleum products. Buckeye is one of the largest independent liquid petroleum products pipeline operators in the United States in terms of volumes delivered with approximately 6,000 miles of pipeline and more than 120 liquid petroleum products terminals with aggregate storage capacity of over 110 million barrels across our portfolio of pipelines, inland terminals, and an integrated network of marine terminals located primarily on the U.S. East Coast and in the Caribbean. Buckeye's flagship marine terminal in The Bahamas, BORCO, is one of the largest marine crude oil and petroleum products storage facilities in the world and provides an array of logistics and blending services for the global flow of petroleum products. Buckeye's network of marine terminals enables it to facilitate global flows of crude oil, refined petroleum products, and other commodities, and to offer its customers connectivity to some of the world's most important bulk storage and blending hubs. Buckeye is also a wholesale distributor of refined petroleum products in areas served by its pipelines and terminals. Finally, Buckeye also operates or maintains third-party pipelines under agreements with major oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical companies, and performs certain engineering and construction management services for third parties. More information concerning Buckeye can be found at www.buckeye.com. * * * * * Distributable cash flow is a measure not defined by GAAP. Distributable cash flow is a measure used by our senior management to provide a clearer picture of Buckeye's cash available for distribution to its unitholders. Distributable cash flow eliminates (i) non-cash expenses, including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the significant capital investments we make in our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations, (ii) charges for obligations expected to be settled with the issuance of equity instruments, and (iii) items that are not indicative of our core operating performance results and business outlook. Buckeye believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures used by senior management and that these measures are useful to investors because they aid in comparing Buckeye's operating performance with that of other companies with similar operations. Distributable cash flow data presented by Buckeye may not be comparable to similarly titled measures at other companies because these items may be defined differently by other companies. * * * * * This press release includes forward-looking statements that we believe to be reasonable as of today's date. Such statements are identified by use of the words "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "intends", "plans", "predicts", "projects", "should", and similar expressions. Actual results may differ significantly because of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and that may be beyond our control. Among them are (i) changes in federal, state, local, and foreign laws or regulations to which we are subject, including those governing pipeline tariff rates and those that permit the treatment of us as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, (ii) terrorism, adverse weather conditions, including hurricanes, environmental releases, and natural disasters, (iii) changes in the marketplace for our products or services, such as increased competition, better energy efficiency, or general reductions in demand, (iv) adverse regional, national, or international economic conditions, adverse capital market conditions, and adverse political developments, (v) shutdowns or interruptions at our pipeline, terminal, and storage assets or at the source points for the products we transport, store, or sell, (vi) unanticipated capital expenditures in connection with the construction, repair, or replacement of our assets, (vii) volatility in the price of refined petroleum products and the value of natural gas storage services, (viii) nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers, (ix) our ability to integrate acquired assets with our existing assets and to realize anticipated cost savings and other efficiencies and benefits, (x) we may not realize the expected benefits of the Trafigura Transaction, (xi) our ability to successfully complete our organic growth projects and to realize the anticipated financial benefits, and (xii) an unfavorable outcome with respect to the proceedings pending before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regarding Buckeye Pipe Line Company, L.P.'s transportation of jet fuel to the New York City airports.

Burnett January 5, 2005 Chief Financial Officer Telephone: (770) 394-6000 Fax: (770) 551-5914 ROBERTS REALTY INVESTORS, INC. ACQUIRES LAND ON PEACHTREE PARKWAY ATLANTA, GA - Roberts Realty Investors, Inc. (AMEX:RPI) announces that on December 29, 2004 it purchased an 82% undivided interest in 23.5 acres in North Atlanta for $7,769,500 from Roberts Properties Peachtree Parkway, L.P. (a partnership owned and controlled by Mr. Charles S. Roberts, the company's CEO). The property is located in Gwinnett County on Peachtree Parkway at the intersection of Peachtree Corners Circle and across the street from the upscale Forum Shopping Center. The land is zoned for 292 apartment units. Mr. Charles S. Roberts, the company's founder and CEO, stated: "The acquisition of this 23.5 acres for $7,769,500 and 29 acres for $5,880,000 in the Cousins Properties Westside development which total $13,649,500 is consistent with our previously announced plan of redeploying thirty-six million dollars in debt and equity from the sale of St. Andrews at the Polo Club, located in Palm Beach, Florida, into new assets as part of a Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange." Roberts Realty Investors, Inc. invests in multi-family residential, office and retail properties in Atlanta, Charlotte and Palm Beach as a self-administered, self-managed equity real estate investment trust. This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws. Although the company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the following: the company may not be able to redeploy the entire net proceeds from the sale of St. Andrews at the Polo Club to complete a Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange as it intends.

EX-99.1 2 dex991.htm PRESS RELEASE Press Release Exhibit 99.1 WYNDHAM AND LEHMAN BROTHERS REAL ESTATE PARTNERS FORM JOINT VENTURE TO EXPAND AND DEVELOP SUMMERFIELD SUITES BY WYNDHAM BRAND Wyndham Sells Six Properties and Partial Ownership of the Summerfield Suites by Wyndham Brand DALLAS (Dec. 23, 2004) - Wyndham International, Inc. (AMEX:WBR) and Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners (LBREP) have formed a joint venture to expand and develop Summerfield Suites by Wyndham, Wyndham's upscale, extended-stay brand. The transaction, which closed on Wednesday, Dec. 22, included the sale of six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham properties and the sale of a partnership interest in its Summerfield brand to Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners for approximately $105 million. "Summerfield Suites by Wyndham is a proven brand, and its RevPAR consistently outperforms the entire extended-stay segment. We have long believed that the brand strength of Summerfield Suites could be realized to its full potential through a joint venture partnership, and expect this joint venture with Lehman will enable the brand to grow exponentially in the next decade", stated Fred J. Kleisner, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Wyndham International. The joint venture, which will be equally controlled by both partners, will establish an independent, well-capitalized company focused exclusively on the Summerfield Suites by Wyndham brand. The new entity, which will be located in Dallas, will be actively engaged in property management, franchise sales and the development of new Summerfield Suites by Wyndham properties. As part of the transaction, LBREP will seek opportunities to finance the development of additional Summerfield Suites by Wyndham properties. Raymond C. Mikulich, managing director of Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners stated, "Lehman Brothers is delighted to partner with Wyndham to expand the highly regarded Summerfield brand. We look forward to working with owners and developers to meaningfully expand the brand's distribution network". LBREP will acquire the hotels and interest in the Summerfield Suites brand in partnership with the Gencom Group, a private, Miami-based hospitality investment firm. Summerfield Suites by Wyndham offers upscale, all-suite accommodations complete with signature Wyndham amenities and services in a unique residential-style setting in urban and suburban markets. Currently, the brand consists of 23 properties located throughout the U.S. and one in the Cayman Islands. The six Summerfield Suites by Wyndham hotels included in the transaction are located in Denver; Miami; Morristown, NJ; Whippany, NJ; Waltham, Ma.; and Seattle. Lehman Brothers Real Estate Partners is a full-service real estate merchant banking fund. This global real estate private equity fund makes direct private equity investments in properties, real estate companies, and service businesses ancillary to the real estate industry in domestic and international markets. As of Nov. 30, 2004, the fund had committed more than $1.8 billion of equity across 66 investments.

EX-99.1 2 exhibit991-danaparkpurchase.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 - Dana Park Purchase PRESS RELEASE Contact Whitestone REIT: Anne Gregory, Vice President Marketing & Investor Relations (713) 435 2221 ir@whitestonereit.com Acquisitions: Bradford Johnson, Director of Acquisitions (713) 435-2208 bjohnson@whitestonereit.com Whitestone REIT Acquires Village Square at Dana Park for $50.5 Million Whitestone's Portfolio in Phoenix MSA now has 12 Community Centers with over 1 Million Square Feet of GLA Houston, Texas, September 25, 2012 - Whitestone REIT (NYSE: WSR - "Whitestone"), a fully integrated real estate company that owns, operates and re-develops Community Centered PropertiesTM, which are visibly located properties in established or developing culturally diverse neighborhoods, announced today that it has closed on the off-market purchase of Village Square at Dana Park, a 310,979 square foot Community Center located in the Mesa submarket of Phoenix, plus six developed pads (total of 2.9 acres) and the adjacent 4.7 acre parcel of development land to add another 200,000 square feet of leasable space, for $50.5 million, or $162 per square foot. The purchase price for the Center, which has in-place cash flow, was an all-cash, all-inclusive transaction, and represents a 45% discount to estimated replacement cost. Village Square at Dana Park is an upscale open air "lifestyle" Community Center with service retail, retail, restaurants, and office mixed-use tenants spanning a total 61 acres, prominently located in Phoenix's Southeast Valley along Val Vista Drive between the Superstition Highway (Highway 60) and Baseline Road. The 71% leased Center currently houses 50 specialty boutique, dining and daily needs service tenants. The contemporary Main Street setting features expansive palm tree lined, cobblestone paved pedestrian walkways, and eight courtyard fountains with shaded seating areas. The Center was recently named the "Best Upscale Shopping Destination in Arizona" by officialbestof.com1. The tenant mix is a balance of national and small space mom and pop retail and office services targeting the local neighborhood, while drawing traffic from adjacent communities with convenient on/off access from the adjacent freeway. Over 254,000 cars per day pass by the Center, which is highly visible, with additional signage opportunities on State Route Highway 60. The Center is comprised of 292,714 square feet of open-air retail and service shopping space, with a second-story office space venue of 18,265 square feet. Tenants occupying the Center include AJ's Fine Foods, Barnes & Noble, Z Gallerie, Anthropologie, Coldwater Creek, Jared Galleria of Jewelers, Chico's, California Pizza Kitchen, White House Black Market, Bath & Body Works, Talbots, Ann Taylor Loft, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, RA Sushi, Sauce, and Pei Wei. "Village Square at Dana Park was acquired in an off-market transaction, and provides in-place cash flow with an upside value-add opportunity including: the lease-up of the current 89,505 square feet of built and vacant space, six pads that could be land leases or build-to-suits, and development of an adjacent land parcel fronting Superstition Highway 60 which could add another 126,000 square feet of space to the existing 310,979 total leasable area", said James C. Mastandrea, Whitestone's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Further, because Village Square at Dana Park is in close proximity to our other Mesa/Gilbert area Community Center, Gilbert Tuscany Village, we expect to benefit from some economies of scale through our in-house management and leasing team." Mastandrea added, "Because of the internal strength and experience of Whitestone's team of associates, the acquisition of Village Square at Dana Park was accomplished at an accelerated pace from contract to execution, through due diligence to closing in 30 days". Whitestone now owns over one million square feet of lease space in the greater Phoenix area in twelve Community Centers, strategically located in high traffic neighborhoods, including Village Park at Dana Square. The other Centers include Ahwatukee Plaza, The Citadel, Desert Canyon, Fountain Square, Gilbert Tuscany Village, MarketPlace at Central, Paradise Plaza, Pima Norte, The Pinnacle of Scottsdale, The Shops at Pinnacle Peak, and Terravita Marketplace. All purchases were off market and priced at a discount to current replacement cost and have a value-add component. Each of these Community Centers is in a stabilized neighborhood with strong demographics, and provides essential services to support local communities. About Village Square at Dana Park Village Square at Dana Park is located on the northwest corner Baseline Road and Val Vista Drive at Superstition Highway 60 in Mesa, Arizona, with a traffic count of over 254,000 cars per day.

EX-99.1 4 form991press.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 CGI Holding Corporation closes its acquisition of PrimaryAds, a profitable and rapidlygrowing affiliate marketing company Company expects to meet, and possibly exceed, its 2005 earnings guidance of $0.20 - $0.25 per share on a fully diluted basis NORTHBROOK, Ill.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-April 25, 2005-In a move that will make CGI Holding Corporation d/b/a Think Partnership Inc. (AMEX: THK - News ; "Company") a major player in the growing field of affiliate marketing, the Company today announced that it has closed its acquisition of PrimaryAds Inc. ("PrimaryAds"). Located in North Plainfield, New Jersey, PrimaryAds is a leading affiliate marketing network made up of many online advertisers and publishers that focuses on the increasingly popular cost-per-action model. Under this model, advertisers only pay PrimaryAds if a sale is made or a lead is generated through their offers. As a result, advertisers can easily measure their return on investment. Online publishers run these offers through the PrimaryAds network for a portion of the fees paid by the advertisers. As previously announced, the Company has acquired all of the stock of PrimaryAds in exchange for approximately $10 million in cash. The former shareholders of PrimaryAds can also earn up to $3 million in additional cash and up to $13 million of common stock of the Company, contingent upon the aggregate pre-tax income of PrimaryAds during the 36 months beginning July 1, 2005 achieving levels ranging from $6.5 million to $20 million. The Company also issued to stockholders and employees of PrimaryAds warrants to purchase a total of 146,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The merger is expected to be immediately accretive to the earnings of CGI Holding Corporation. Gerard M. Jacobs, the Company's CEO, stated, "This important acquisition justifies the size of Think Partnership's $15.05 million private placement of common stock last December. PrimaryAds earned $921,635 pre-tax during the first quarter of 2005, and is rapidly growing. We expect THK to meet, and possibly exceed, our 2005 earnings guidance of $0.20 - $0.25 per share, after taxes, on a fully diluted basis. We expect that the shareholders of PrimaryAds will earn most, if not all, of the $16 million earnout portion of the merger consideration". Jacobs continued, "We are extremely impressed by Ken Harlan and his team at PrimaryAds. They are smart, customer-oriented, and ethical. They are our kind of people. We are excited to have them as new partners as we continue to build Think Partnership as a collaborative partnership of profitable, entrepreneur-led companies with expertise in online advertising, marketing and communications". Scott Mitchell, the CEO of the Company's Cherish subsidiary, stated, "The addition of affiliate marketing to Think Partnership was one of our primary expansion targets for 2005. The acquisition of PrimaryAds, combined with our acquisition of KowaBunga! Marketing, Inc. on March 14, makes Think Partnership a leader in the affiliate marketing field, which continues to be one of the fastest growing revenue sources for companies of all sizes. We expect to announce more acquisitions during 2005 that will further expand our online advertising and marketing presence". Steven "Pat" Martin, the CEO of the Company's WebSourced subsidiary, added, "PrimaryAds increases our growing constellation of Internet marketing firms. While KowaBunga! has developed software that allows companies to track the success of their affiliate marketing campaigns, PrimaryAds conducts those campaigns through an extensive network that brings together Internet publishers with Internet advertisers. Together, the two companies enable Think Partnership to offer our clients a total affiliate marketing solution". Ken Harlan, the President of PrimaryAds, stated, "After carefully considering all of the many options available to us, we are delighted to join Think Partnership Inc. This merger will allow our business to continue its rapid growth without any disruptions. Plus, we will take advantage of the assets and synergies that the other Think partners offer. Our access to the New York advertising community and our national relationships within the online marketing community will broaden THK's footprint significantly". 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. in June 2005. The Company is based in Northbrook, Ill. (see www.cgiholding.com ) and currently has eight 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!

EX-99.1 3 dex991.htm PRESS RELEASE Press Release Exhibit 99.1 Contact: Paula Taylor Corporate Services (972) 420-8221 HORIZON HEALTH ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF FRIENDS HOSPITAL TRANSACTION LEWISVILLE, Texas (July 1, 2005) - Horizon Health Corporation (NASDAQ/NM:HORC) today announced today that it consummated its previously announced transaction involving the formation of a joint venture with Friends Hospital, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and the acquisition by that joint venture of Friends Hospital located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Horizon is an 80% member of the joint venture and Friends, which has changed its name to the Thomas Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation, is a 20% member of the joint venture. In the transaction, the joint venture leased the hospital facility on a 40 year prepaid basis. Friends Hospital, founded in 1813, consists of a 192-bed behavioral health hospital and a 26-bed adult residential treatment center. The hospital provides inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services primarily for residents of Philadelphia, Southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, Friends Hospital had revenues of approximately $35.4 million and for the six months ended December 31, 2004, revenues of approximately $18.7 million. Ken Newman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Horizon, stated, "We are very pleased that Horizon was able to work with Friends to structure and complete this transaction. We consider Friends Hospital a unique behavioral health institution. We believe we have the opportunity to significantly improve and expand the clinical services Friends Hospital provides to the communities it serves while at the same time, as a result of the transaction, allowing the Foundation to separately continue its charitable mission". Horizon Health Corporation is a leading contract manager of clinical services for acute care hospitals and employers and an owner of behavioral health care facilities. The statements contained herein based on future expectations rather than on historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the ability to satisfy the conditions precedent to the Friends Hospital transaction, the ability to consummate additional acquisitions, the ability to integrate the existing operations of Friends Hospital and other acquired hospitals on a cost-effective basis, adverse changes in reimbursement to psychiatric hospitals by federal and state health care programs and other third-party payors and various other risks as outlined in Horizon's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. There can be no assurance that statements made in this press release relating to future events will be achieved. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time. -END-

EX-99.1 4 rdsh_ex991.htm PRESS RELEASE rdsh_ex991.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 ROADSHIPS HOLDINGS ACQUIRES PEOBI TO ADD COMMUNICATIONS EFFICIENCY Roadships Holdings, Inc. (OTC-PINK: RDSH) today announced that it has acquired the software and architecture for a mobile app that expedites the paperless exchange of business information ("PEOBI"). Created by Luke Kestle, PEOBI is in the final stages of development and has not yet been commercially distributed. Roadships has established a dedicated IT department office at Mermaid Beach, Gold Coast, Australia and has recruited a number of Bond University graduating students to work with Mr. Kestle to complete development of PEOBI. The transport industry is heavily reliant on the efficient flow of paperwork and communications, with a number of companies having already either adopted the use of apps or developed their own. Roadships intends to utilize PEOBI specifically for the transport industry to more efficiently facilitate the exchange of its business information. "We have been following other local and international transport operations and seen how they have aggressively positioned IT as part of their core business operations", said Micheal Nugent, CEO of Roadships. "The acquisition of PEOBI is a first step for us to address this in our business". # # # About Roadships Holdings Inc. Roadships Holdings, Inc.

Diamond Bar Blvd Diamond Bar, CA 91765 United States of America OTCBB: SEGB SE Global Stockholders Approve Acquisition with China Interactive Marketing and Media Group to Form Sun New Media, Inc. Sept 14 th , 2005. DIAMOND BAR, Calif., Sept. 14, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- SE Global Equities Corp. (OTC BB:SEGB.OB - News) ("SEG") reports that the company's shareholders voted on Sept. 12th in an EGM (extraordinary general meeting) to proceed with the acquisition of all the shares of Sun New Media Group (SNMG) from Chinese media group Sun Media Investment Holdings Ltd (SMIH), under a share purchase agreement as previously set-forth in a press release issued on August 10th, 2005. The transaction, when completed, will leave SMIH and related parties as the majority owner of the company with 86% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a non-diluted basis and 85% on a fully diluted basis. In accordance with the share purchase agreement, SEG will change its name to Sun New Media, Inc. undergo a 1 share for 2 shares (1:2) reverse split, and issue 55 million post-consolidated shares to SMIH and related parties in exchange for 100% ownership of SNMG. SMIH will also guarantee a profit of no less then US $3 million within the next fiscal year. Any short fall on the net income will be assumed and compensated by SMIH. The company will issue an announcement regarding the new trading symbol, and the date for the reverse stock split and closing of the share purchase agreement and related transactions upon notification by NASDAQ. SEG will then begin to trade under its new name and on a consolidated basis on the same date under the new symbol on the OTCBB and have the new CUSIP number 86681W 10 4. The acquisition of SNMG brings two key sets of assets under the control of SEG, potentially increasing value for current shareholders and diversifying sources of income for the company. First, SNMG controls Compass Multi-Media Inc, an innovative online interactive marketer, which targets corporate communications, product promotion and consumer online publishing sectors in China. Second, SNM holds the program distribution and licensing rights to all the television programs produced and owned by SMIH and certain subsidiaries. The program distribution rights include a number of highly popular television programs aired in China such as Yang Lan One on One, C'est La Vie Daily, 66 Places of a Lifetime, and Olympics & Me, many of which feature leading Chinese television personality Ms. Yang Lan. Building from these core assets, the company will pursue a focused strategy of becoming the leading integrated, interactive marketing and communications company serving affluent consumers and leading corporations in China. To reflect its new direction, the company will henceforth be known as "Sun New Media Inc." (SNM). By providing innovative services and technologies supported by outstanding management, SNM aims to secure a major share of the multimedia market in China, which is expected to become the largest sector in the Chinese economy by 2010, exceeding aggregate revenues of RMB 1500 Billion (1) (US $181 Billion). To oversee the new company's growth strategy, the shareholders also voted to elect as directors on close of the acquisition three associates of SMIH: Dr. Bruno Wu; Chauncey Shey; and John Li. The management team includes prominent serial investors and insiders from the media and IT fields in China. SNM's Chairman Dr. Bruno Wu, is Chairman of Sun Media Investment Holdings Ltd., and former Chairman of Sina Corporation (NasdaqNM:SINA - News), and former Chief Operating Officer of Hong Kong's ATV. SNM's Vice-Chairman is Chauncey Shey, CEO and President of Softbank Venture Capital China, and Co-Founder and former EVP of UT Starcom. SNM Director, John Li is currently the President of Sun New Media Group and previous to that he worked for 10 years with Framlington Funds, where he served as a senior Fund Manager and the Head of the Asia Pacific region. SNM Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, Fendi Cheung has more than 10 years experience in senior financial positions in listed companies in the Greater China region. SNM Chairman, Dr. Bruno Wu, commented: "We have a strategic vision of what this company can achieve in the multimedia market in China, and the skills and experience to achieve that goal.

EX-99.01 4 ex9901form8k112404.txt PRESS RELEASE DATED NOVEMBER 30, 2004 Exhibit 99.01 SENTO CLOSES ACQUISITION OF XTRASOURCE - Integration of U.S. and European operations underway - AMERICAN FORK, Utah, November 30, 2004 - Sento Corporation (Nasdaq: SNTO), a leading provider of integrated, multi-channel customer support, announced today that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of the operating assets of Xtrasource, Inc., an advanced contact solution provider. Xtrasource has operations in Raleigh, North Carolina, Enschede, The Netherlands, and Metz, France. The transaction included the purchase of the assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Xtrasource (approximately $500,000 in net liabilities, as expected) as well as the acquisition of all the stock in its wholly-owned European operations. In line with its plan, Sento has completed the acquisition from a third party of the senior secured debt of Xtrasource, reached settlement agreements with several unsecured creditors, and is using the cash and accounts receivable (as collected) of Xtrasource to payoff the majority of the secured and unsecured liabilities as such have been or will be renegotiated. Patrick F. O'Neal, President and CEO of Sento, commented, "We are pleased to have completed this important transaction and are proceeding rapidly with our integration plan. In the U.S., we have added a significant number of staff in the Xtrasource Raleigh contact center in response to a current Sento customer's expansion requirements. We are already recognizing revenue and have improved that center's capacity utilization. The Xtrasource acquisition also gives us an established capability in Europe. I returned from my recent visit to France and The Netherlands impressed with the people, processes and business being done there. In addition, our senior management teams from both Europe and the U.S. have completed an offsite planning session, which reconfirmed the similarities of our business philosophies and cultures and identified shared objectives and goals." Mr. O'Neal concluded, "We have combined two companies that are highly complementary, enhanced our staff with tenured professionals, added important customers, and extended our global footprint. We are now energetically pursuing opportunities for growth, synergy and exceptional customer service as Sento builds value through this accretive transaction". SENTO PROFILE Sento Corporation (www.sento.com), has emerged as a leading provider of outsourced customer care and sales support services, managing customer relationships for a growing number of high-profile companies across multiple industries. Through Sento's Customer Choice PlatformSM, an integrated suite of multi-channel CRM technologies, customers are right channeled, that is, given a choice of self-service and assisted-service options--via web, e-mail, chat, and phone, for increased customer satisfaction with dramatic cost savings to Sento's clients. Sento provides support in 17 languages from three states in the U.S., from Enschede in The Netherlands and from Metz, France. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements in this press release, which are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements encompass Sento's beliefs, expectations, hopes or intentions regarding future events. Words such as "expects", "intends", "believes", "anticipates", "should" and "likely" also identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this release are made as of the date hereof and are based on information available to Sento as of such date. Sento assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated for a number of reasons, including, among others: difficulties encountered in post-acquisition integration and operation of the acquired assets including retaining existing clients of the acquired company, the Company's stock price has historically been volatile; variations in market and economic conditions; the effect on the Company's earnings of the repricing of options; the Company's dependence on its limited number of key clients; reduction in services requested by the Company's clients resulting in lower revenues for the Company; the Company's ability to complete negotiations and execute client agreements; risk of emergency interruption of the Customer Contact Solutions operations; and other unanticipated factors. Risk factors, cautionary statements and other conditions, which could cause actual results to differ from the Company's current expectations, are contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended.
