EX-99.1 3 v304749_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 For Immediate Release News Announcement COUNSEL RB CAPITAL ADDS INTERNAL AUCTION CAPABILITY WITH PURCHASE OF INDUSTRY LEADER, HERITAGE GLOBAL PARTNERS WHITE PLAINS, NY, and TORONTO, CANADA, February 29, 2012 - Counsel RB Capital Inc. (OTCQB: CRBN) ("Counsel RB" or the "Company"), a leader in distressed and surplus capital asset transactions, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Heritage Global Partners, Inc., (http://www.hgpauction.com/) a leading, full-service, global auction and asset advisory firm managed by Ross and Kirk Dove. The Doves bring over a half century of worldwide auction industry experience and expertise to Counsel RB, which includes managing more than 4,000 industrial auctions in 30 countries throughout their respective careers. Consideration for the transaction included a combination of cash, notes and equity in CRBN in the form of shares, plus options. Specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Counsel RB Co-CEO Jonathan Reich stated, "As a fast-growing, emerging leader in the asset liquidation sector we are always looking to add value-added offerings to our suite of services. Partnering with Ross and Kirk and the talented team at Heritage Global Partners is a very important milestone and logical next step as we continue building Counsel RB into a diversified and scalable full-service organization that can successfully meet the needs of our expanding client base. We are very excited about launching this turnkey in-house auction capability and adding decades of relevant industry experience to our senior management team. Kirk and Ross also bring a wealth of key global industry relationships to Counsel RB and we welcome them and the additional key executives of Heritage's experienced group of associates to the Counsel RB family". Heritage Global Partners Managing Partner Ross Dove stated, "Kirk and I have known and worked with Adam and Jonathan Reich on a number of transactions over the past decade. We have the utmost respect for their strong and consistent track record in the distressed and surplus assets space and are delighted to be a part of what they have been building in recent years at Counsel RB. With a vested interest in the Company's future performance, we look forward to contributing to Counsel RB's growth and success for years to come". "Having partnered and collaborated with Ross, Kirk and the Heritage team on several successful recent transactions, including the BP Solar and Solyndra dispositions, we agreed that acquiring their company's assets, including two California-based offices, and bringing their auction business in-house at Counsel RB would be a win-win for both organizations", added Counsel RB Co-CEO Adam Reich. "This important capability should enable us to grow even faster and in what we expect will be a more profitable trajectory as this additional service makes us a much more formidable competitor and a more valuable partner to our industry peers", he concluded.

EX-99.1 2 exhibit991120711.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 12.07.11 Exhibit 99.1 12.07.11 Exhibit 99.1 For Information James R. Edwards 303-837-2444 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SM ENERGY ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED NON-OPERATED EAGLE FORD CARRY AGREEMENT DENVER, CO December 5, 2011 - SM Energy Company (NYSE: SM) today announces the closing of the previously announced Acquisition and Development Agreement (the "ADA") related to SM Energy's conveyance to Mitsui E&P Texas L.P. ("Mitsui"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui & Co., Ltd., of a 12.5% working interest in its non-operated Eagle Ford shale acreage position. SM Energy will retain a working interest of approximately 14.5% in these properties. The ADA provides that SM Energy will be carried for 90% of certain drilling and completion costs, until Mitsui has expended $680 million for the Company's benefit. The Company expects the carry amount will be expended in approximately four years. Additionally, Mitsui reimbursed SM Energy a total of approximately $101 million at closing. Of this amount, approximately $73 million represents reimbursement for capital and operating expense outlays, net of revenues, for the period between the effective date of March 1, 2011, and the closing date. This reimbursement amount will be applied to the remaining 10% of SM Energy's non-operated Eagle Ford shale drilling and completion costs, effectively carrying the Company 100% until this reimbursement amount is exhausted. The remainder of the reimbursement amount represents 50% of SM Energy's investment in related mid-stream assets, in which Mitsui has also acquired a 12.5% interest. The carry amount and the reimbursement amounts are subject to post-closing adjustments, which the Company expects to be completed within 180 days of closing. ABOUT THE COMPANY SM Energy Company is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, exploitation, development, acquisition, and production of natural gas, natural gas liquids, and crude oil. SM Energy routinely posts important information about the Company on its website. For more information about SM Energy, please visit its website at www.sm-energy.com.

EX-99 2 propertysale22305final.htm PUBC realizes 78% return on property sale Company to use proceeds to launch major public relations campaign LAS VEGAS, February 23, 2005 -- Public Company Management Corporation (OTC BB: PUBC - News ) announced that it has completed the sale of one of its Las Vegas real estate holdings for $315,000. The property was purchased in January 2003 for $177,000, returning $138,000, or 78%, in just two years. "We plan to use the proceeds from this real estate transaction, which is completely unrelated to our core business, to launch a public relations campaign. This campaign is being designed to dramatically increase our visibility to many more potential clients as well as a much larger segment of the general public and the investment community. This interactive public relations campaign should help us continue to grow our customer base and hopefully, boost shareholder value through a truer valuation", says Stephen Brock, Chief Executive Officer of Public Company Management Corporation. "Our trailing twelve month EPS is $0.146. With the current stock price of $0.93 per share, our Price/Earnings ratio is only 6.3, compared to the S&P 500 average of 20.81. We understand a fair valuation in the marketplace requires educating the investment community on our business model, financial performance and future plans. This is exactly what we intend to do", continues Brock.

EX-99.1 3 ex99-1.htm Exhibit 99.1 Oncocyte Closes Merger Agreement to Acquire Insight Genetics Acquisition broadens suite of molecular diagnostic tests to include potentially transformative immunotherapy response prediction test demonstrated to outperform PD-L1 and TMB Enables significant pharma services opportunity including immunotherapy trials and development of companion diagnostics in lung cancer and other solid tumors IRVINE, Calif., February 5, 2020 - Oncocyte Corporation (NYSE American: OCX), a molecular diagnostics company with a mission to provide actionable answers at critical decision points across the cancer care continuum, today announced that it has closed its previously announced merger agreement with Insight Genetics (IG). The acquisition expands the decision points addressed by Oncocyte's portfolio of tests with the addition of a potentially transformative immuno-oncology diagnostic test and will also add diverse technology and pharma service offerings including targeted therapeutic panels and a pharma trial lab compliant with 21 C.F.R Parts 820 and 11. "The Insight Genetics' IM Score test was an ideal addition to the Oncocyte portfolio, and while our current focus is on lung cancer, this acquisition significantly expands our suite of proprietary tests to manage key decision points potentially across multiple stages and types of cancers", said Ron Andrews, CEO of Oncocyte. "With immunotherapies currently approved for thirteen solid tumors and additional clinical trials in progress to advance these treatments to earlier stages of cancer, there is a growing need for accurate immunotherapy response prediction tests. Data presented at SITC in November show our new IM Score test outperforms two currently marketed tests for immunotherapy selection suggesting this may be a transformative test to identify immunotherapy responders. This acquisition is an important step in the evolution of Oncocyte as it not only expands our impact to a broader patient population but also provides us access to a CLIA certified lab with the certifications required to submit data to regulatory agencies around the world. Having the ability to truly partner with pharma companies and assist in their global regulatory approvals will help us grow significant new opportunities for pharma services in the expanding immunotherapy and companion diagnostic markets. We are proud of our exceptional progress and look forward to continued growth as we establish Oncocyte as leaders in lung cancer diagnostics and beyond". At closing, Oncocyte delivered $6.4 million in cash, which was net of a $0.6 million cash holdback, plus 1.9 million shares of Oncocyte common stock valued at $5 million. This general description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger that will be filed as an exhibit to Oncocyte's Form 8-K on or about February 5, 2020. - 1 - About Insight Genetics Insight Genetics is dedicated to improving the lives of cancer patients through advanced molecular diagnostics that enable precision cancer care. The company specializes in the discovery, development and commercialization of molecular diagnostics that detect specific cancer biomarkers in triple negative breast cancer and lung cancer to assist in guiding the effective diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of cancer. Insight Genetics partners with leading academic researchers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, clinical reference laboratories, and IVD kit manufacturers to create new standards of care for cancer patients worldwide. About Oncocyte Corporation Oncocyte is a molecular diagnostics company whose mission is to provide actionable answers at critical decision points across the cancer care continuum, with the goal of improving patient outcomes by accelerating and optimizing diagnosis and treatment. The Company is currently preparing to launch DetermaRx™, a treatment stratification test that enables the identification of early-stage lung cancer patients at high risk for recurrence post-resection, allowing them to be treated when their cancer may be more responsive to adjuvant chemotherapy. DetermaDx™, the company's liquid biopsy test in development, utilizes a proprietary immune system interrogation approach to clarify if a patients' lung nodules are benign, which may enable them to avoid potentially risky invasive diagnostic procedures. DetermaDx and DetermaRx are trademarks of Oncocyte Corporation. Oncocyte Forward Looking Statements Oncocyte cautions you that this press release contains forward-looking statements concerning, but not limited to, the acquisition of Insight Genetics. Any statements that are not historical fact (including, but not limited to statements that contain words such as "will," "believes", "plans", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may," and similar expressions) are forward-looking statements. These statements include those pertaining to the development of DetermaDx and the ongoing Clinical Validation study, the impact of the anticipated commercial launch of DetermaRx, unexpected expenditures or assumed liabilities or other unanticipated difficulties resulting from the acquisition of Insight Genetics, implementation and results of research, development, clinical trials and studies, commercialization plans, future financial and/or operating results, and future opportunities for Oncocyte, along with other statements about the future expectations, beliefs, goals, plans, or prospects expressed by management. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, risks inherent in the development and/or commercialization of potential diagnostic tests or products, uncertainty in the results of clinical trials or regulatory approvals, the capacity of our third-party supplied blood sample analytic system to provide consistent and precise analytic results on a commercial scale, the need and ability to obtain future capital, maintenance of intellectual property rights, and the need to obtain third party reimbursement for patients' use of any diagnostic tests we commercialize, and risks inherent in acquisitions such as failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, unexpected expenditures or assumed liabilities that may be incurred as a result of the acquisition, unanticipated difficulties in conforming business practices, including accounting policies, procedures and internal controls, and financial records of Insight Genetics with Oncocyte, inability to accurately forecast the performance of Insight Genetics resulting in unforeseen adverse effects on Oncocyte's operating results, failure to retain or integrate Insight Genetics personnel, greater than estimated allocations of Oncocyte resources to develop and commercialize Insight Genetics technologies or failure to maintain any laboratory accreditation or certification. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements and accordingly such statements should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect the business of Oncocyte, particularly those mentioned in the "Risk Factors" and other cautionary statements found in Oncocyte's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, which are available from the SEC's website. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they were made. Oncocyte undertakes no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made, except as required by law.

Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from the Company's expectations. Meaningful factors which could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, but are not limited to, risks related to the following: the passage of state, federal or local legislation that would expand, restrict, further tax or prevent gaming operations in the jurisdictions in which we do business; the activities of our competitors; increases in our effective rate of taxation at any of our properties or at the corporate level; successful completion of capital projects at our gaming and pari-mutuel facilities; the existence of attractive acquisition candidates and the costs and risks involved in the pursuit of those acquisitions; our ability to maintain regulatory approvals for our existing businesses and to receive regulatory approvals for our new businesses (including without limitation the issuance of final operators' licenses in Maine and Pennsylvania); delays in the process of finalizing gaming regulations and the establishment of related governmental infrastructure in Pennsylvania and Maine; the maintenance of agreements with our horsemen and pari-mutuel clerks; our dependence on key personnel; the impact of terrorism and other international hostilities; the availability and cost of financing; the outcome and financial impact from the event of default under the indentures governing the Hollywood Casino Shreveport notes and other factors as discussed in the Company's filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, consummation of Penn National's acquisition of Argosy Gaming is subject to several conditions including the approval of various governmental entities, including certain gaming regulatory authorities to which the Companies are subject. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

EX-99.1 2 v040547_ex99-1.htm Exhibit 99.1 Cellegy Reports Sale of Cellegy Australia to Epsilon Pharmaceuticals Huntingdon Valley, PA - April 11, 2006 - Cellegy Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC BB: CLGY.OB) announced today that Epsilon Pharmaceuticals has acquired the shares of Cellegy Australia PTY LTD in exchange for cash. The share sale brought Cellegy an immediate cash infusion of approximately $1.25 million. Over the next 90 days, Cellegy will also collect an additional amount based on total accounts receivable on Cellegy Australia books as of March 31, 2006. Cellegesic™ nitroglycerin ointment 0.4% for the relief of pain associated with chronic anal fissure will be undergoing review by an FDA Advisory Committee on April 25th. Marketed as Rectogesic® nitroglycerin ointment 0.4% in Europe, the product has been on the market in the UK since May 2005 and has recently successfully completed the Mutual Recognition Process in 19 additional European markets. Epsilon will continue to market Rectogesic® nitroglycerin ointment 0.2% for the treatment of chronic anal fissure in Australia and several additional Far East markets. "We decided to sell Cellegy Australia to Epsilon in order to continue to focus Cellegy's efforts on our U.S. business", said Richard C. Williams, Chairman and Interim CEO. "While Cellegy Australia has been a profitable and growing business, we need to focus on getting Cellegesic™ approved in the U.S. This sale provided us with the cash necessary to complete preparations for the upcoming FDA Advisory Committee meeting, where we hope to earn a positive recommendation for approval of Cellegesic", Williams continued.

EX-99.1 6 exhibit991pressreleasegree.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 PRESS RELEASE DATED NOVEMBER 26, 2014 Exhibit 99.1 Press Release, Green Courte First Closing FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AT THE COMPANY: Karen J. Dearing Chief Financial Officer (248) 208-2500 Sun Communities, Inc. Announces Acquisition of 31 Properties in First Closing of American Land Lease Manufactured Housing Portfolio from Green Courte Partners Southfield, MI, November 26, 2014 - Sun Communities, Inc. (NYSE: SUI) (the "Company") today announced that it has closed the first portion of its previously-announced acquisition of manufactured housing communities from Green Courte Partners, LLC ("GCP") sponsored funds. In the initial closing, the Company acquired 31 communities (and the associated manufactured homes and notes receivable) for aggregate consideration of $552.4 million, consisting of the assumption of $263.6 million of debt, the payment of $220.6 million in cash, the issuance of $40.9 million in a combination of the Company's common stock and common OP units of the Company's subsidiary Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership ("SCOLP"), and the issuance of $27.3 million in a combination of the Company's newly-created 6.50% Series A-4 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and SCOLP's Series A-4 preferred OP units. Immediately after the closing, the Company refinanced approximately $100.7 million of the mortgage debt on 12 of the communities. Proceeds from the financing were $152.5 million at an interest rate of 4.03% per annum and a term of 10 years. Sun expects to acquire the remaining manufactured housing communities from GCP at a second closing in January 2015. The second closing is subject to certain customary closing conditions. The communities included in both closings comprise over 19,000 sites in eleven states, including nearly 11,000 sites located in Florida. Over 14,000 sites, or 73%, of the portfolio are age-restricted. In connection with this transaction, the Company assumed GCP's right to acquire an additional manufactured home community pursuant to a binding purchase agreement. Sun Communities, Inc. is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that currently owns and operates a portfolio of 215 manufactured housing and recreational vehicle communities comprising approximately 78,400 developed sites.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, VEREIT stockholders were entitled to receive, for each share of VEREIT common stock held, 0.705 shares of Realty Income common stock. "We are pleased to announce the completion of our merger with VEREIT, strengthening our position as the leading net lease REIT and global consolidator of the net lease space", said Sumit Roy, Realty Income's President and Chief Executive Officer. "With the closing of the VEREIT merger, we believe our size, scale and diversification will further enhance many of our competitive advantages, accelerate our investment activities, and enhance shareholder value for years to come. I thank all of our employees for their tireless efforts to achieve this milestone and welcome our new colleagues to our "One Team"".

For every ten shares of Realty Income common stock held of record by Realty Income stockholders as of the close of business on November 2, 2021, the record date for the Distribution, such stockholder will receive one share of Orion common stock. Shares of Orion common stock are expected to commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange on November 15, 2021.

EX-99.1 2 newsrelease.htm PRESS RELEASE Gladstone Investment Announces $21.7 Million Sale of Equity Investment and $30.6 Million Debt Repayment in A. Stucki EXHIBIT 99.1 Gladstone Investment Announces $21.7 Million Sale of Equity Investment and $30.6 Million Debt Repayment in A. Stucki MCLEAN, Va., June 29, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gladstone Investment Corporation (Nasdaq:GAIN) (the "Company") announced today that it sold its equity investment and received full repayment of its debt investment in A. Stucki Holding Corporation ("A. Stucki") in connection with the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of A. Stucki by an affiliate of Quad-C Management, Inc., together with certain members of the management of A. Stucki. The net cash proceeds to the Company from the sale of its equity in A. Stucki were $21.7 million, resulting in a realized gain of $17.2 million. At the same time, the Company has received $30.6 million in payment of its principal, accrued interest and fees on the loans to A. Stucki. In March 2007, Gladstone Investment made its original equity investment and provided debt financing in support of a management-led buyout of A. Stucki. This is a 5.0 times return on our equity investment, including dividends received, in a bit over three years, which equates to a 65.7% annual return on our equity investment. "Gladstone Investment has enjoyed an excellent working relationship with the talented management team at A. Stucki. The team has achieved outstanding results in growing the business and building value in a challenging economic environment", said Dave Dullum, the Company's President. "In addition to the monthly dividends we pay to our stockholders from the current income on our debt and mezzanine investments, we also seek to achieve capital gains from the equity portions of our investments. In this regard, the A. Stucki transaction is a significant and successful realization of a capital gain from our investment strategy. We look forward to more investments like this one". A. Stucki primarily designs, manufacturers, and re-conditions products used in the construction and repair of railroad freight cars. Gladstone Investment Corporation is a publicly traded business development company that seeks to make debt and equity investments in small and mid-sized businesses in the United States in connection with acquisitions, changes in control and recapitalizations.

EX-99.1 2 ex991bvsale8k.htm PRESS RELEASE ON COMPLETION OF SALE Press Release on Completion of Sale of EME's Dutch Holding Company EDISON MISSION ENERGY LOGO News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kevin Kelley, (626) 302-1033 www.edisonnews.com Edison Mission Energy and Edison International Announce Completion of the Sale of EME's Dutch Holding Company IRVINE, Calif. (USA), December 16, 2004 -- Edison Mission Energy (EME) and its parent Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today announced that EME has completed the sale of its international power generation portfolio, owned by a Dutch holding company which EME refers to as the "BV", to a consortium comprised of International Power plc (70%) and Mitsui & Co., Ltd (30%). The closing of the sale of the BV includes 10 of the 13 international projects included in the Purchase and Sale Agreement announced July 30th, one of the remaining three being purchased by a project partner pursuant to a right of first refusal (CBK in the Philippines) and the other two being projects (Tri-Energy in Thailand and Doga in Turkey) for which project level consents could not be obtained in time for the sale of the BV. Consideration from the sale of the BV was approximately $2.0 billion in cash, representing a base purchase price of $2.3 billion after adjustments for project distributions received by EME during 2004, other working capital adjustments and the omission of the three projects from the 13 contemplated in the original sale agreement. Together with the closing of the sale of its interest in Contact Energy, completed September 30, the sale by EME of its international assets is now substantially complete and has resulted thus far in the receipt of total cash proceeds in the amount of $2.7 billion. The total cash proceeds, net of transaction costs and taxes related to sale, will be available to repay debt, to support contracting and hedges of power sales, to make capital expenditures for EME's remaining domestic projects and for investment. In anticipation of the sale of the BV, the remaining $200 million of the original $800 million secured loan at Mission Energy Holdings International, Inc. was repaid. The BV sale is the result of a previously announced process to sell EME's portfolio of 14 international energy assets located in Europe, the Asia Pacific region and Puerto Rico. Sale of EME's remaining three international assets are expected to be finalized before year end or early in the new year. -more - Lehman Brothers and Credit Suisse First Boston acted as financial advisors to EME on the sale of its international assets. ### Edison Mission Energy is a subsidiary of Rosemead, Calif.-based Edison International. Other Edison International companies include Edison Capital and Southern California Edison.

EX-99.1 2 exhibit991mitt8-k3272020.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. Provides Updates as of March 27, 2020. NEW YORK -- (BUSINESS WIRE) - March 27, 2020 -AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. (NYSE: MITT) (the "Company") announced today that it is providing updates on several matters pertaining to the Company. Update on Agency MBS Portfolio In an effort to prudently manage its portfolio through unprecedented market volatility and preserve long-term stockholder value, on March 23, 2020 the Company completed the sale of the Company's portfolio (the "Agency Portfolio") of residential mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by a U.S. government-sponsored entity ("Agency MBS"). After satisfaction of an aggregate of approximately $880 million of repurchase financing obligations with respect to the Agency Portfolio, the transaction netted the Company approximately $38 million of cash proceeds through T+0 settlement. After giving effect to the sale of the Agency Portfolio, the Company no longer owns any whole pool Agency MBS and as of close of business on March 27, 2020, the Company has approximately $78 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand. Update on Financing Arrangements On March 24, 2020, the Company received written notices from certain affiliates of Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC") alleging that events of default had occurred with respect to various financing agreements. The Company disputes RBC's notices of events of default and filed a suit in federal district court in New York describing the wrongful conduct by RBC and seeking both to enjoin RBC from selling the Company's collateral securities as well as damages. The Company has also received notifications from several additional financing counterparties of alleged events of default under their financing agreements, and of certain of those counterparties' intentions to accelerate the Company's and such subsidiaries' performance obligations under the relevant agreements. Under the terms of the applicable financing arrangements, if the Company fails to deliver additional collateral or otherwise meet margin calls when due, the financing counterparties may demand immediate payment by the Company of the aggregate outstanding financing obligations owed to such counterparties, and if such financing obligations are not paid, may sell the securities and apply the proceeds to the Company's financing obligations and/or take ownership of the securities securing the Company's financing obligations. The Company may also be liable for a shortfall if the proceeds from such sale or value of such securities is less than the relevant financing obligation. As previously announced, on Monday, March 23, 2020, the Company notified its financing counterparties that it was not in a position to fund the margin calls it received on March 23, 2020, and that the Company did not expect to be in a position to fund the anticipated volume of future margin calls under its financing arrangements in the near term as a result of market disruptions created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 23, 2020, the Company and several of its subsidiaries have received notifications from several financing counterparties of alleged events of default under their financing agreements, and of certain of those counterparties' intentions to accelerate the Company's and such subsidiaries' performance obligations under the relevant agreements. The Company and its subsidiaries have disputed certain of those notices. However, in the event of a default under one or more of those agreements, financial and other obligations under such agreements, and in some cases the Company's obligations as a guarantor, may be accelerated and the counterparties may take ownership of the securities pledged to secure the financing obligations by the Company or its subsidiaries. Certain counterparties have informed the Company that they have sold the securities pledged to secure the financing obligations. The Company and its subsidiaries also may be subject to penalties under those agreements and may suffer cross-default claims from its other lenders. The Company continues to engage in discussions with its financing counterparties with regard to entering into forbearance agreements pursuant to which each counterparty would agree to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies with respect to an event of default under the applicable financing arrangement for an agreed-upon period. The Company cannot predict whether its financing counterparties will enter into a forbearance agreement, the timing of any such agreement, or the terms thereof. Update on Dividends On March 27, 2020, the Company announced that the Board has approved a suspension of the Company's quarterly dividends on the Company's common stock, the Company's 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Company's 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and the Company's 8.000% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, beginning with the common dividends that normally would have been declared in March 2020 and the preferred dividends that would have been declared in May 2020. The Board's decision reflects the Company's continuing focus on conserving capital and improving its liquidity position during the current market volatility. ABOUT AG MORTGAGE INVESTMENT TRUST, INC.

EX-99 4 ex991.htm PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 Sunwin International Neutraceuticals Acquires 60% interest in Qufu Shengwang Stevia Biology and Science Company The Company Enters Business of Organic Bio-Fertilizer and Organic Animal Feed QUFU, CHINA--(MARKET WIRE)-September 8, 2008 - Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. (OTC BB: SUWN), a leader in the production and distribution of Chinese herbs, veterinary medicines and one of the world's leading producers of all natural, zero calorie Stevia in China, announced today that on September 2, 2008 its wholly owned subsidiary, Qufu Natural Green Engineering Co., Ltd. entered into an amendment to its June 30, 2008 agreement to acquire a 60% equity interest of Qufu Shengwang Stevia Biology and Science Co., Ltd. ("Qufu Shengwang") from Shandong Shengwang Group Co., Ltd. ("Shengwang") and an amendment to the stock purchase agreement entered into between Sunwin International and Shengwang as of June 30, 2008. Pursuant to the September 2, 2008 amendments, Sunwin International acquired a 60% interest in Qufu Shengwang for a purchase price of $6,200,413 through a stock exchange. The purchase price was based on the net tangible book value of Qufu Shengwang as set forth in its financial statements as of April 30, 2008 which were audited in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States and shares of Sunwin issued were based on a twenty day moving average of Sunwin's common stock ending on August 29, 2008. As part of the amended transaction, the parties have entered into a "make good" agreement in which Shengwang agreed to return to Sunwin International a prorata number of the shares it acquired as part of this transaction in the event that Qufu Shengwang does not earn a minimum of $5,000,000 in net income over a period of 36 consecutive months after completion of the acquisition. Management of Sunwin International estimates that Qufu Shengwang has the current capacity to generate approximately $15 million in sales annually and yield a 20% to 30% net profit margin. Qufu Shengwang was founded with its South Korean partner, Korea Stevia Co., Ltd. and Shengwang Group Corp. in June 2007. Qufu Shengwang manufactures and sells animal feed, agricultural organic fertilizers and bio fertilizers produced from the residue of stevia stock leaves. These Stevia based fertilizers and animal feeds have numerous benefits including low cost production, high nutrient value for soil, higher fructose levels with fewer calories for feeds and a proven ability to breakdown nicotine, dioxin and other harmful chemicals for plants. Commenting on the Joint Venture, Ms. Dongdong Lin, Sunwin International CEO, stated, "We are very pleased to acquire Qufu Shengwang, as we strive to expand our business through vertical integration. Qufu Shengwang is a natural fit for our company as it uses stevia residue to make organic bio-fertilizer and organic animal feeds. In addition, its products are sold into many of the same end markets as our current line of veterinary feeds and medicines. It broadens our product offerings and enables us to profitably monetize parts of the stevia plant that would presently be waste in our production process. We are confident that this operation coupled with our current growing operations will lead to a strong financial performance in fiscal 2009 and beyond". About Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc.

(OTCBB: GMTI), today announced that it has completed the divestiture of substantially all of the assets of its two wholly owned subsidiaries, GreenMan Technologies of Minnesota, Inc. and GreenMan Technologies of Iowa, Inc. to Liberty Tire Services of Ohio, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty Tire Services, LLC for approximately $27.5 million in cash. The sale of the tire recycling business subsidiaries enables GreenMan to focus on growth opportunities for its remaining subsidiaries, Welch Products and GreenMan Renewable Fuel and Alternative Energy, Inc. Welch Products specializes in design, product development, and manufacturing of environmentally responsible products using recycled materials, primarily recycled rubber. GreenMan Renewable Fuel and Alternative Energy, Inc.'s primary objective is to pursue licenses, joint-ventures, acquisitions and long-term contracts focused on the commercialization of existing and late-stage development products and processes in green-based technologies including renewable fuels and alternative energy. GreenMan used approximately $16 million of the proceeds of this sale to retire certain related obligations including approximately $12.8 million due its primary secured lender, Laurus Master Fund, Ltd under a June 2006 credit facility, and will have approximately $7 million of available cash after estimated transaction related income taxes and other costs. Lyle Jensen, GreenMan's President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "During the past year we have been shifting our focus to better capitalize on the opportunities we've seen in the development of recycled products and other green-based technologies. Our team at Welch Products has made great progress forming partnerships with several states to promote the design and construction of safe, environmentally sound and ADA compliant recreational areas and playgrounds. We are enthusiastic about the strides that have been made in the area of renewable energy and clean-tech technologies and look forward to further pursuing this new direction for GreenMan". About GreenMan Technologies GreenMan Technologies pursues technological processes and unique marketing programs to transform recycled materials into innovative recycled products, renewable fuel and alternative energy. Through GreenMan's subsidiary, Welch Products, the company develops and markets branded products and services that provide schools and other political subdivisions viable solutions for safety, compliance, and accessibility.

EX-99.1 2 d123547dex991.htm EX-99.1 EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 April 4, 2016 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: ANALYSTS MEDIA Alan Greer Tamera Gjesdal Cynthia A. Williams Executive Vice President Senior Vice President Senior Executive Vice President Investor Relations Investor Relations Corporate Communications AGreer@BBandT.com TGjesdal@BBandT.com Cynthia.Williams@BBandT.com BB&T closes National Penn acquisition Systems conversion expected this summer WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - BB&T Corporation (NYSE: BBT) today announced it has completed its acquisition of National Penn Bancshares, Inc., (NASDAQ: NPBC) effective April 1, 2016. The core banking systems conversion, along with signage and account changes for clients, is expected early in the third quarter of 2016. "We are pleased to complete this strategic transaction and excited to welcome our new shareholders, clients and associates to BB&T", said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kelly S. King. "As we move toward systems conversion, our clients will continue to receive the same level of outstanding client service from the same bankers they know so well". The acquisition, which was announced in August 2015, includes 126 banking offices in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland, giving BB&T 2,265 financial centers throughout its footprint. With $9.6 billion in assets and $6.7 billion in deposits as of Dec. 31, 2015, the acquisition of National Penn will significantly expand BB&T's footprint in the Mid-Atlantic region and improve its deposit market share to No. 4 in Pennsylvania. BB&T received the required regulatory approvals for the acquisition in late 2015. Along with the recent Swett and Crawford acquisition this uses the remainder of BB&T's buyback capacity approved by the Federal Reserve as part of BB&T's 2015 capital plan submission. BB&T Corporation also previously announced plans to establish a fourth community banking region in northern Pennsylvania, headquartered in Allentown, and will name David B. Kennedy, National Penn's chief banking officer, as the president of the region. National Penn President and Chief Executive Officer Scott V. Fainor will be named group executive, with responsibility for overseeing multiple community banking regions with deposits of nearly $40 billion in Pennsylvania and contiguous states.

EX-99.1 3 dex991.htm PRESS RELEASE Press Release Exhibit 99.1 Press Release Paragon Announces Acquisition of Shearson Home Loans From Consumer Direct of America, Inc. PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla., February 7/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Paragon Financial Corporation (OTCBB: PGNF), a consolidator in the highly fragmented financial services marketplace, announced today that it reached an agreement to acquire Shearson Home Loans, Inc. from Consumer Direct of America, Inc. (OTCBB:CSUA). Under the agreement, Paragon will issue to Consumer Direct of America the equivalent of four shares of Paragon's common stock for each Paragon share and share equivalent outstanding. Shearson Home Loans, Inc. is a fast-growing provider of residential mortgages. It employs over 300 people, 250 of whom are residential mortgage real estate brokerage professionals who had closed-loan volume of $1.1 billion, which accounted for over 6,435 loan transactions in 2004. Shearson operates 54,000 sq. ft. of branch office space with 37 locations in 30 states. The company is a consolidator of independent mortgage brokerages and has grown rapidly during the last three years through acquisition and consolidation. "We view Shearson as an ideal partner in our quest to consolidate the mortgage brokerage industry", said Paul Danner, CEO of Paragon Financial Corporation. "Not only do we share the same vision for the industry, but melding our complementary management talent, business processes, and geographic locations into a single operating entity should produce positive tangible synergy", he added. "With the completion of this transaction, we no longer have to advance the theoretical concept of a desired end-state, but instead are able to clearly demonstrate to prospective acquisition candidates a proven, fully-functional operating platform", said Scott Vining, chief financial officer of Paragon. About Paragon Financial Corporation Paragon Financial Corporation (www.pgnf.com) is a financial services business focused on the acquisition of companies that originate mortgages loans or provide other financial services.

EX-99.1 11 v244674_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 For More Information: Jim McCubbin, EVP & CFO Brett Maas or Dave Fore WidePoint Corporation Hayden IR 7926 Jones Branch Drive, Suite 520 (646) 536-7331 McLean, VA 22102 brett@haydenir.com (703) 349-2577 jmccubbin@widepoint.com WidePoint Corporation Acquires Avalon Global Solutions Accelerates Commercial Sector Initiatives in Wireless Mobility Segment; Expected to Contribute $10-$11M to Revenue and be Accretive to Net Income in 2012 WASHINGTON, January 4, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - WidePoint Corporation (NYSE Amex: WYY), a specialist in wireless mobility management and cybersecurity solutions, today announced that it has acquired privately held Avalon Global Solutions , Inc. (AGS), a leading provider of communications lifecycle management services, technology, and solutions predominantly to the commercial sector. Under terms of the acquisition agreement, WidePoint paid $7.5 million in cash at closing on December 31, 2011, and will pay up to an additional $4 million in cash over approximately three years if certain financial targets are achieved. WidePoint management expects the acquisition of AGS to contribute at least $10 million to $11 million in revenue for the full year 2012. The acquisition is also expected to be accretive to WidePoint's net income in 2012. Avalon Global Solutions is a leading provider of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services for Enterprise Telecommunications Management. AGS also offers permission based audits, a review and analysis of a customer's telecom invoices, contracts and services applications to identify historic overbilling, contract and tariff-related errors, as well as prospective savings opportunities. In addition, AGS also provides mobile security, and advanced help desk support for mobile devices and applications. "We are very excited about the opportunity we see with AGS to accelerate our efforts to push our automated system based communications lifecycle management solutions broadly into the commercial sector both in the U.S. marketplace and abroad", commented Steve Komar, CEO, WidePoint. "Avalon has a strong base of business, with more than 70 clients in the commercial sector, as well as partners that provide us reach internationally, while adding breadth to our services and technology platforms. Our strategic goal has been to expand our successful TEM offering into the commercial market, leveraging the reputation and expertise we have built in the government sector. This acquisition will significantly accelerate that effort while simultaneously providing added scale and incremental profitability". AGS supports a wide range of customers from small business to multinationals in a number of industries and government agencies through a suite of solutions that address the management of fixed and mobile telecommunication assets. AGS also supports the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Michael Mansouri, CEO of AGS, stated, "The combination of our platforms greatly enhances both companies as AGS further bolsters WidePoint's position as the largest provider of automated system based communications lifecycle management services to the U.S. Federal Government. AGS adds a robust and growing number of commercial clients and sales channels to the overall client mix, and it adds services to WidePoint's overall product and services portfolio." Mansouri further added, "The addition of WidePoint's cybersecurity offerings also provides us with an opportunity to introduce new services for our commercial clients as we witness the increasing requirements for security protections for wireless devices, an area in which WidePoint has existing and proven expertise". Widepoint funded the AGS asset purchase with senior debt provided by Cardinal Financial Bank through a five-year, $4.0 million note accruing interest at 4.5% annually; two sellers notes accruing interest at 3% annually for $1.0 million and $3.0 million payable over approximately three years; with the $3.0 million note having claw-back provisions for up to the value of the note tied to minimum financial performance targets in 2012 and 2013; and cash provided by the company. A portion of the proceeds remain in escrow pending the extinguishment of existing AGS debts. James McCubbin, WidePoint CFO stated, "We expect this transaction to be accretive to net income in 2012, while minimally bolstering top line revenues in 2012 by approximately $10 to $11 million, enhancing our gross margins with the inclusion of their commercial margins which tend to fall within the 50% to 60% range, and further broadening our recurring revenue streams with historical multi-year client relationships".

EX-99 3 ex_99-1.htm PRESS RELEASE PRESS RELEASE Exhibit 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT Visualant, Inc.: Lynn Felsinger 206 903 1351 - Lynn@visualant.net Investor Relations Paul DeRiso Core Consulting Group 925 465 6088 paul@coreconsultingroup.com Visualant Closes RATLab Acquisition; Consolidation of Intellectual Property and Scientific Leadership Seattle, WA, June 2, 2011, Visualant, Inc. (OTCBB: VSUL.OB), a pioneer provider of industry-leading identification solutions, announced today that it closed the acquisition of all Visualant related assets of the RATLab LLC. The RATLab LLC is a Seattle based research and development laboratory created by Dr. Tom Furness, founder and Director of the HITLab International, with labs at Seattle, University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and the University of Tasmania in Australia. Guided by Dr. Tom Furness and Dr. Brian Schowengerdt, a research scientist in the field of optics and vision science, the RATLab LLC developed the Spectral Pattern Matching ("SPM") technology under contract for Visualant. With this acquisition, Visualant consolidates all intellectual property relating to the SPM technology. In addition to its current authentication and security applications of SPM, Visualant now owns all other applications including the important fields of medicine, agriculture, and the environment and will begin the creation of its laboratory. With the closing of this asset acquisition transaction, Dr. Tom Furness and Dr. Brian Schowengerdt will continue to provide technology leadership to Visualant under consulting agreements with the Company. Dr. Furness stated, "We are very pleased to begin the process of moving all the Visualant intellectual property and scientific leadership to the Company. Coupled with the new innovations that will come out of Visualant Laboratory, we believe the applications of the SPM technology can grow rapidly, and we look forward to our active involvement in that effort". Ron Erickson, Visualant CEO said, "We are thrilled to be able to bring all of these intellectual property and human assets together. Dr. Furness, Dr. Schowengerdt, and the wonderful research team at the RATLab have done brilliant work. With this acquisition, Visualant will build its own laboratory to continue the research and development of SPM technology". About Visualant, Inc. Visualant, Inc. develops low-cost, high speed, light-based security and quality control solutions for use in homeland security, anti-counterfeiting, forgery/fraud prevention, brand protection and process control applications. Its patent-pending technology uses controlled illumination with specific bands of light, to establish a unique spectral signature for both individual and classes of items. When matched against existing databases, these spectral signatures allow precise identification and authentication of any item or substance. This breakthrough optical sensing and data capture technology is called Spectral Pattern Matching ("SPM"). SPM technology can be miniaturized and is easily integrated into a variety of hand-held or fixed mount configurations, and can be combined in the same package as a bar-code or biometric scanner. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, TransTech Systems, Inc., (www.ttsys.com) the Company provides security and authentication solutions to security and law enforcement markets throughout the United States.

EX-99.1 7 v059265_ex99-1.htm Capital Growth Systems, Inc. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Skip Behm Capital Growth Systems, Inc. 630-872-5800 sbehm@nexvu.com Capital Growth Systems Acquires CentrePath, Inc. SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - December 1, 2006 - Capital Growth Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: CGSY.OB), announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Waltham, Mass.-based CentrePath, Inc. CentrePath is a world-class provider of intelligent network management services to large multinational corporations, systems integrators and regional owners of private fiber optic networks. Using its unique high-availability network operations center (NOC), powered by its remote management software (OSS) and proven management methodologies, CentrePath has been providing high-quality outsourced network management services to institutions across the United States and the United Kingdom for the past six years. "With our acquisition of CentrePath, we are well positioned to implement our strategy of being a world-class provider of integrated communications solutions as an intelligent virtual network operator (VNO)", said Tom Hudson, CEO of Capital Growth Systems. "CentrePath has developed an outstanding reputation with its partners and customers based on the high-quality services, management software and methods that their integrated team of networking professionals consistently deliver. We feel that with CentrePath's network management services combined with Magenta netLogic's quoting and configuration software and database, Capital Growth Systems now has two of the absolute "best in class" operational components in the VNO marketplace today". As stated in an April 2006 announcement of their 150 customer milestone event (www.centrepath.com): "CentrePath's customer base includes financial services firms with data replication requirements, healthcare organizations with growing requirements to digitize and move medical images across a network, state and local government agencies who are building sophisticated broadband communities, as well as organizations across all industries that have business continuity and network convergence initiatives where multiple data types are being consolidated on a single network. Specifically, CentrePath has expanded its business to include customers such as the Bank of New York, City of Boston, City of Chicago, Comcast, New York State Senate, Regions Bank and Turner Broadcasting. CentrePath's solutions solve the challenges associated with building and managing optical and storage networks for business continuity and data replication". (more) Capital Growth Systems, Inc. December 1, 2006 Page 2 Jack Lodge, general manager of CentrePath said, "We have known Tom and his team for several years, and we are delighted to be a core part of Capital Growth Systems. We agree whole-heartedly with the intelligent VNO business model and strategy, and we are very enthusiastic about our future growth prospects. Together, CentrePath and Capital Growth System customers should benefit greatly from this unique partnership". The worldwide local access communications market is estimated at more than $100 billion per year. VNOs are independent providers of complex communications network services and solutions to large enterprises. Local access communications is a high-growth market driven by rapidly expanding secure corporate data networks, the high volume of internet data transactions, an increased networked storage demand for backup and recovery, and the increased expansion of voice over the internet (VoIP) applications.

EX-99.1 2 a5523551ex99_1.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Citrix Completes Acquisition of XenSource LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2007--Today at Citrix iForum(TM), the world's largest application delivery conference and expo, Citrix Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTXS) announced it has completed the acquisition of XenSource, Inc., a privately held leader in enterprise-grade virtual infrastructure solutions. The purchase price for the transaction was approximately $500 million payable in a combination of cash and Citrix common stock. This acquisition moves Citrix, a pioneer in the application virtualization market, into adjacent server and desktop virtualization markets -- expected by Citrix to grow to nearly $5 billion over the next four years. By acquiring XenSource, Citrix is now the only company to offer organizations an end-to-end application delivery infrastructure that leverages the method of application, desktop and server virtualization best suited for the dynamic delivery of applications to any user (see today's separate press release on the company's enhanced virtualization strategy). As previously announced on Aug. 15 upon close of the acquisition the XenSource team and products will form the core of the new Virtualization & Management Division of Citrix dedicated to building and growing these important new businesses. Peter Levine, XenSource, CEO, will lead the new division, reporting directly to Mark Templeton, Citrix president and CEO. Under Peter's leadership, this new division will oversee Citrix's businesses in server virtualization and application delivery management solutions as part of the company's overall application delivery infrastructure strategy. Citrix also reiterated its commitment to maintaining and growing support for the independent Xen open source community which develops the underlying virtualization engine used by many commercial products throughout the industry, including those from XenSource. The Xen project, which includes significant contributions from companies like Intel, AMD, HP, IBM and Dell, is led by XenSource co-founder, and new Citrix employee, Ian Pratt. Since news of the acquisition, XenSource has worked with the key contributors to the Xen project to develop procedures for independent oversight of the project, ensuring that it continues to operate with full transparency, fairness and vendor neutrality. Citrix agrees these principles are critical to the continued role of Xen as a freely available open source industry standard for virtualization. "The XenSource products, team and culture are a great addition to the Citrix family", said Mark Templeton, president and chief executive officer for Citrix. "The combination of Citrix and XenSource brings together application, desktop and server virtualization to deliver more innovation, choice and flexibility to the market, including our installed base of more than 200,000 customers worldwide. As application delivery becomes a top issue for IT and the world becomes more dynamic, we find it important to be sure we are providing customers the most cutting-edge technologies out there". About iForum 07 - The App Delivery Expo Now in its tenth year, the Citrix App Delivery Expo is the industry's largest conference focused entirely on application delivery infrastructure, bringing together thousands of business leaders, IT managers and technology leaders from around the world. Application delivery infrastructure best practices will be highlighted in more than 60 sessions, including keynotes and general sessions from analysts at Gartner, Forrester, IDC and Yankee Group, as well as industry leaders like Accenture, Dell, Microsoft, HP, IBM, Intel, Oracle and SAP.

EX-99.1 9 exh_991.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 EdgarFiling EXHIBIT 99.1 Simmons First National Corporation Completes Acquisitions of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. and First Texas BHC, Inc. PINE BLUFF, Ark., Oct. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simmons First National Corporation ("Simmons" or "Company") (NASDAQ:SFNC), parent company of Simmons Bank, announced that, on October 19, 2017, it completed its acquisitions of both Southwest Bancorp, Inc. ("OKSB"), headquartered in Stillwater, Oklahoma, (parent company of Bank SNB) and First Texas BHC, Inc. ("First Texas"), headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas (parent company of Southwest Bank). A definitive agreement to acquire OKSB was previously announced in December 2016, and a definitive agreement to acquire First Texas was announced in January 2017. Shareholders of Simmons, OKSB, and First Texas approved the transactions earlier this month. "Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Simmons", said George A. Makris, Jr., Simmons' Chairman and CEO. "With the closing of these transactions, Simmons has now expanded its reach into three new banking markets - Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado - and strengthened its franchise in Kansas. We are pleased to welcome all of the Bank SNB and Southwest Bank customers and associates to the Simmons family. We have always believed that our unwavering commitment to excellent customer service is what sets us apart, and I have no doubt that our new partners share that same conviction". With the completion of these acquisitions, Simmons has over $14 billion in assets, approximately $10.4 billion in loans, approximately $11.2 billion in deposits, and locations across Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. Both Bank SNB and Southwest Bank will continue operations as separate bank subsidiaries of Simmons for an interim period until they are merged into Simmons Bank. Simmons plans on maintaining the Southwest Bank and Bank SNB brands in their respective markets. "These are both long-awaited transactions, and we could not be happier about the opportunities both banks bring with them", said Marty Casteel, President of Simmons Bank. "Both Bank SNB and Southwest Bank customers can rest assured that we will do everything in our power to ensure a seamless transition. In the meantime, customers should continue their banking practices as usual".

Upon shareholder approval each share of non-voting Series A convertible preferred stock will convert into 100 shares of common stock, provided that a holder may opt out of automatic conversion, only to the extent such holder beneficially owns more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of 9 Meters. The $58.94 unit price was determined using a 10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company's shares prior to entering into definitive agreements and pricing the transaction. The conversion is expected to take place within 60 days. William Blair & Company, L.L.C. acted as lead placement agent. Intuitive Venture Partners acted as a private placement advisor.

EX-99.1 2 a16-13879_1ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. Reports Completion of the Sale of its $3.8 Billion Subsidiary Servicing Portfolio New York, June 22, 2016 - Oppenheimer Holdings Inc. (NYSE: OPY) today reported the completion of the sale by its subsidiary, Oppenheimer Multifamily Housing & Healthcare Finance ("OMHHF") of OMHHF's permanent loan mortgage servicing portfolio to Walker & Dunlop, Inc. for cash proceeds of approximately $45 million. The sale, consisting of over 480 permanent loans insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, represents a sale of substantially all of the assets of OMHHF. The sale of the remainder of OMHHF's operating assets is expected to be completed in the near future. As previously reported, the Company had determined that OMHHF was a non-core business of the Oppenheimer financial services franchise and the Company's board of directors had approved the sale of assets of OMHHF. Albert G. Lowenthal, Chairman and CEO commented, "We formed OMHHF in 1998 and successfully grew the business into one of the top ten commercial mortgage loan servicers in the U.S. I would like to thank Jim Moore, President of OMHHF, for his many years of service. We believe that the sale of this non-core business will allow us to continue to focus on growing our core banking and wealth management franchise". Contact: Jeffrey Alfano, (212) 825-4331

EX-99.3 4 exhibit993pressrelease.htm EXHIBIT 99.3 Exhibit FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: October 4, 2017 XENIA HOTELS & RESORTS ACQUIRES THE RITZ-CARLTON PENTAGON CITY FOR $105 MILLION Orlando, FL - October 4, 2017 - Xenia Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: XHR) ("Xenia" or the "Company") today announced its acquisition of The Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City, a 365-room luxury hotel located in Arlington, Virginia, for a purchase price of $105 million, or approximately $287,670 per key. The acquisition was funded with cash available on the Company's balance sheet and its senior unsecured credit facility. The purchase price represents an estimated 11.3x multiple on 2017 forecasted Hotel EBITDA. The Company currently forecasts that the hotel will generate approximately $2 million of Hotel EBITDA for the remainder of 2017. Additional details on the transaction can be found in the presentation posted on the Company's website, www.xeniareit.com. "We are pleased to add The Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City to our portfolio of high-quality hotels and resorts as we continue to increase our concentration in the luxury and upper upscale segments through the acquisition of our first Ritz-Carlton", said Marcel Verbaas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Xenia. "The hotel's excellent location and exposure to a diverse set of demand generators in the Arlington and Washington D.C. markets, its strong in-place cash flow, and our ability to acquire the hotel at an attractive valuation were key considerations in our decision to acquire this outstanding asset. We look forward to expanding our long-standing relationship with Marriott and building on the existing operations at the property as we benefit from the hotel's recent rooms renovation and the long-term strength and stability of the D.C. market". The 18-story luxury hotel features 365 rooms and 19,000 square feet of meeting space, and has recently completed an $11 million renovation of its guestrooms and club lounge. In addition to being in excellent physical condition, the hotel is uniquely positioned within the market, as it is directly connected to The Fashion Centre at Pentagon City. This mixed-use facility contains approximately 870,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, as well as an approximately 170,000 square feet office tower. The mall features 170 retailers and recently underwent a $90 million renovation and 52,000 square foot expansion. The hotel is located proximate to the Pentagon, Crystal City and Rosslyn business districts, as well as Old Town Alexandria and Washington D.C. The property is the closest hotel to The Pentagon and is the only luxury hotel in the high-end Arlington, Virginia market. Arlington is one of the top performing submarkets in the D.C. Metro area due to its proximity to major government institutions, with over 40 million square feet of office space, various leisure demand generators, and transportation hubs such as Ronald Reagan National Airport and the region's Metro system.

EX-99.4 5 dex994.htm FORM OF PRESS RELEASE. Form of Press Release. Exhibit 99.4 NEWS RELEASE - INNOVA PURE WATER ACQUIRES TWO COMPANIES Clearwater, Florida June 27, 2005, INNOVA PURE WATER, INC. (IPUR.OB) John E. Nohren, Jr., Chairman and Rose C. Smith, President & CEO announced today the acquisition of two private companies, Numera Software Corporation an expanding proprietary software company and DesertView Management Services, a management consulting firm for an undisclosed amount of restricted common shares and with Innova receiving an undisclosed amount of cash in the transaction. Both John Nohren and Rose Smith will remain on the Board of Directors. They will continue to assist in the development of additional strategic alliances and the marketing, and expansion of Innova's patented water filtration technology. Nohren and Smith said they were particularly pleased, as the merger will permit Innova to introduce several new products and enhance Innova's marketing commitment while combining with currently profitable and growing Companies. The acquisitions bring Numera into the Corporation as a company with a broad range of advanced computer software, recently introduced nationally. Numera's software is applicable to normal accounting and management requirements, but offers a wide range of specialized applications including accounting firms, law firms, manufacturing operations, small firms and professional organizations. Excellent growth prospects exist as we believe Numera's products are both cost as well as performance advantaged over what may be termed the existing mid range products. Nohren and Smith are also very pleased with the new association with DesertView Management Systems, whose President, David L. Zich, is the incoming President of the combined companies, bringing proven management expertise which the parties feel will be invaluable integrating the three companies, yet maintaining the identity and strengths of each to enhance the maximum growth in their respective markets which each company's products and technology are superior and identifiable to the end user, their customer. We invite you to reference the Innova Internet site frequently as information will be posted shortly, and will include links to both Numera and DesertView, and will be frequently updated relative to the activities of each of the entities that now make up Innova, as well as the water treatment side of our business, which is regaining its sales momentum.

The transaction is valued at approximately $85 million, excluding customary adjustments based on working capital, and will be immediately accretive to Regency unitholders. "Regency is pleased to have closed the Nexus acquisition, which will expand our reach in one of the most prolific areas of North Louisiana and East Texas", said James W. Hunt, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Regency. With this acquisition, Regency has also acquired Nexus' agreement to purchase 136 miles of pipeline from Southern Natural Gas Company (SNG). Before Regency can purchase the pipeline from SNG, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission must approve the abandonment and certain closing conditions must be met. If the transaction closes under the currently anticipated conditions, Regency will purchase the pipeline from SNG and make an additional payment to Nexus.

EX-99.1 2 v089198_ex99-1.htm xxx SORL Purchases Land and Manufacturing Plant to Resolve Production Capacity Bottleneck RUIAN CITY, Zhejiang Province, China, October 1, 2007 - SORL Auto Parts, Inc. (NasdaqGM: SORL) ("SORL" or the "Company"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of automotive air brake valves and related components in China, today announced that, through its subsidiary, Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Co. Ltd., it has purchased land rights, a manufacturing plant and office building with a total floor area of 66,177.91 square meters, or 712,333 square feet, from Ruili Group Co. Ltd. ("Ruili"), for 152 million yuan (US$20 million). The Company currently leases from Ruili and occupies approximately 50 percent of this production facility. Ruili will vacate the rest of the facility by the end of October. The appraisal of the assets was conducted by the leading independent appraiser, DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Ltd., and total asset value was appraised at 154 million yuan (US$20.3 million). As a result of this transaction, the acquired capacity expansion is expected to meet the Company's growth demands for the next 2 to 3 years. The purchase price will be paid by the Company by transferring to Ruili its $9 million investment in an existing project that includes a new-facility-in-progress and prepayment of land use rights, with the balance of $11 million to be paid by the end of October 2007 from the Company's existing bank credit line. "In order to solve the current production capacity bottleneck and meet the fast growing demand for our products in the domestic OEM, aftermarket and international markets, we have decided to purchase Ruili Group's existing facility and scale up our capacity quickly to capture the market opportunity", said Xiaoping Zhang, CEO of SORL. "Completing the new facility under construction would have delayed our capacity expansion until late 2008 and hindered our near-term growth. The Chinese commercial vehicle market has experienced significant growth this year and especially for heavy trucks. We are benefiting from the growth of commercial activity in China as well as robust government spending on infrastructure buildout and the maturing of the domestic logistic industry. We see very favorable market conditions for commercial vehicle auto parts. The land use rights and facilities purchased will add to our production starting in the late fourth quarter of 2007, expanding our capacity for continued growth and to enhance shareholder value".

EX-99.1 4 e62044507ex99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 e62044507ex99_1.htm Exhibit 99.1 MIAMI, Aug. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Benihana Inc. (previously traded as NASDAQ: BNHN) ("Benihana" or the "Company"), operator of the nation's largest chain of Japanese theme and sushi restaurants, today announced the completion of its acquisition by funds advised by the Private Equity Group of Angelo, Gordon & Co. ("Angelo Gordon"). Earlier today, Benihana's public company stockholders met and overwhelmingly approved the transaction. Each outstanding share of Benihana common stock was acquired for $16.30 per share in cash, valuing the acquisition at approximately $295 million. The Company is now a privately-held company and will no longer be listed on the NASDAQ national market. Richard Stockinger, Benihana's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are extremely pleased that our stockholders approved the acquisition at a compelling cash price per share. The Benihana management team is excited to have access to the substantial resources of Angelo Gordon as we work to build on the recent successes of our three brands. We are energized by our plans to accelerate new unit growth, enabling us to take the outstanding food and unique dining experience of our Benihana Teppanyaki, RA Sushi and Haru concepts to more and more guests". "The iconic nature of the Benihana brand and the excellent positioning of RA Sushi and Haru in the expanding Japanese cuisine and sushi categories are what interested us in the Company", said Richard Leonard, a Managing Director at Angelo Gordon. "Richard Stockinger and the management team have led an impressive turnaround in all areas of the Company in the last three years, and we believe the brands are now well prepared for substantial unit growth. We hope that developers across the country will consider the drawing power of the new prototype Benihana restaurant or the key demographic appeal of the vibrant RA Sushi environment. We also expect that the modern Japanese cuisine and urban-centric atmosphere of Haru has growth potential in major metropolitan markets outside of its current footprint in New York City and Boston". About Benihana Headquartered in Miami, Benihana is the nation's leading operator of Japanese theme and sushi restaurants with 95 restaurants nationwide, including 62 Benihana restaurants, 25 RA Sushi restaurants and eight Haru sushi restaurants. In addition, 16 franchised Benihana restaurants are operating in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean.

EX-99.1 2 a51892910ex99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 The First Bancshares, Inc. Completes Acquisition of FMB Banking Corporation HATTIESBURG, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 1, 2018--The First Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: FBMS) ("First Bancshares" or the "Company"), the holding company for The First, A National Banking Association ("The First"), announced today that it has completed its acquisition of FMB Banking Corporation ("FMB"). Following completion of the acquisition, FMB's subsidiary bank, Farmers & Merchants Bank, was merged with The First, with The First as the surviving bank. As a result of this transaction, The First has expanded its footprint in the Florida panhandle and entered into the southern Georgia market with the addition of five branches across Jefferson and Leon counties in Florida and one branch Thomas County in Georgia. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement with FMB, each FMB shareholder will receive either $204.70 in cash or 5.6391 shares of First Bancshares' common stock in exchange for each share of FMB common stock held prior to the merger, subject to customary pro-ration and reallocation procedures, which will ensure that 80% of FMB shares will receive the stock consideration and 20% will receive the cash consideration. M. Ray "Hoppy" Cole, President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are thrilled to be joining forces with FMB and are excited about what we can accomplish together. We are focused on expanding our market share in central Florida and south Georgia. FBMS offers not only the financial assets associated with a well-run financial institution, but will also provide a strong team of proven local bankers. FMB bankers are trusted partners to their clients and are closely tied to the local communities. These attributes align perfectly with our business model at The First, and will help further our goal of building a high performing, customer oriented community bank in the gulf south region." As a result of the merger, the combined Company now has approximately $3.0 billion in total assets, $2.5 billion in total deposits and $2.0 billion in total loans. The First also now has 67 locations across Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Georgia. About The First Bancshares, Inc. The First Bancshares, Inc., headquartered in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, is the parent company of The First, A National Banking Association. Founded in 1996, the First has operations in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Georgia. The Company's stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol FBMS.

These statements relate to future events or future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those indicated by any forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "forecast," "may", "will", "could", "should", "anticipate", "expect", "plan", "believe", "potential" or other similar words indicating future events or contingencies. 1 Some of the effects that could cause actual results to differ from expectations are: a lack of Shea operating history; the uncertainty of success of our acquisition strategy to grow the Company; uncertainty of our ability to successfully integrate the acquired companies into Shea; dependence upon the federal, state and local agencies and industries and companies which experience volatility in funding budgets and sales cycles that may be lengthy and unpredictable; uncertainty of product development and acceptance; changes in the information technology spending trends; the uncertainty that the combined companies' prospective sales pipeline will result in final contracts; the potential changes in the buying decision makers during a customer purchasing cycle; the complexities in scope and timing for finalization of contracts; the fluctuations in product delivery schedules; uncertainty of ability to compete effectively in a new market; the uncertainty of profitability and cash flow of Shea; intellectual property rights and dependence on key personnel; economic conditions; the continued impact of threatened terrorist attacks, global instability and potential U.S. military involvement; the competitive environment and other trends in the business process automation and content delivery markets; the effects of inflation; changes in laws and regulations; changes in the company's business plans; interest rates and the availability of financing; liability, legal and other claims asserted against the company; labor disputes; and the company's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. For a discussion of these and other risk factors, see the company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 8, 2007 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the development of the business of space-based data, Spire's ability to provide its customers with faster and more data, Spire's future growth and its estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, and proceeds to the combined company. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of Spire's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Spire. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including (i) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; (ii) the effect of the closing of the business combination on Spire's business relationships, performance, and business generally; (iii) risks that the business combination disrupts current plans of Spire and potential difficulties in Spire employee retention as a result of the business combination; (iv) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against NavSight or Spire related to the business combination agreement or the closing of the business combination; (v) the ability to maintain the listing of Spire's securities on the New York Stock Exchange; (vi) the ability to address the market opportunity for Space-as-a-Service; (vii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the business combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities; (viii) the risk of downturns, new entrants and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive space data analytics industry; and those factors discussed in the final prospectus/proxy statement/information statement filed on July 22, 2021 under the heading "Risk Factors", and other documents of NavSight and Spire filed, or to be filed, with the SEC.

EX-99.1 2 v348845_ex99-1.htm EX-99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE American Realty Capital Trust IV Closes Acquisition of $528 million of Primarily Net Lease Properties from GE Capital These 377 Properties, Formerly Part of the Trustreet Properties Portfolio, Signal the Final Phase in ARCT IV's Equity Capital Deployment ARCT IV to Close the Remaining GE Capital Portfolio Properties and Finalize a $2.3 Billion Portfolio during the Third Quarter New York, New York, June 28, 2013 - American Realty Capital Trust IV, Inc. ("ARCT IV" or the "Company") announced today that it has closed on the acquisition of 377 primarily net lease retail properties as part of its previously announced portfolio acquisition from certain affiliates of GE Capital. The GE Capital portfolio is part of the formerly publicly traded Trustreet Properties, Inc. portfolio. The 377 properties were purchased for $528.2 million, exclusive of closing costs, and represent significant progress toward the purchase of up to $1.45 billion of properties within the GE Capital portfolio and completion of the Company's acquisitions. The tenants of the 377 properties are concentrated in the retail sector, including high quality, nationally recognized quick service restaurant brands such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wendy's and Pizza Hut. ARCT IV intends to close the balance of the GE Capital portfolio and complete substantially all of the remainder of its property purchases during the third quarter. The balance of the GE Capital portfolio will be purchased for up to $920 million, exclusive of closing costs, accounting for a substantial component of the Company's expected $2.3 billion portfolio. The remainder of ARCT IV's acquisitions will be made using existing proceeds from its equity raise and low cost debt available to the Company from its recently announced credit facility, as necessary. Nicholas S. Schorsch, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of ARCT IV commented, "This acquisition is important for several reasons. First, it positions the Company, with substantial capital having been invested, to pursue its strategic liquidity options immediately, in a market that has proved very receptive for net lease REITs. Second, it further diversifies our property portfolio with a continuing focus on well-branded retail locations that provide essential goods and services. Third, it is testimony to the hard work and dedication of our acquisitions team, who thoroughly evaluated 377 properties in only three weeks. We expect to close the remainder of the GE Capital portfolio, formerly part of Trustreet Properties, during the third quarter of 2013. We have constructed one of the best-in-class, lowest leveraged, long-duration, retail focused net lease portfolios in the REIT industry. We expect that these attributes will translate into value for our shareholders". About the Company ARCT IV is a publicly registered, non-traded real estate investment trust ("REIT") that qualified as a REIT for tax purposes for the taxable year ended December 31, 2012.

EX-99.1 3 a19-10976_1ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Protective Closes Reinsurance Transaction with Great-West Birmingham, Ala. (June 3, 2019): Protective Life Corporation (Protective), a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of Dai-ichi Life Holdings, Inc. (TSE:8750), announced today that its principal subsidiary, Protective Life Insurance Company (Protective Life), and Protective Life & Annuity Insurance Company, completed the transaction with Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A) to acquire via reinsurance substantially all of its individual life and annuity business. The transaction was announced on January 24, 2019. The transaction is expected to represent a capital investment by Protective of approximately $1.2 billion and is the company's largest acquisition to date. The business being transferred, which has been marketed under the Great-West Financial brand, includes bank-owned and corporate-owned life insurance, single premium life insurance, individual annuities, and a portion of Great-West's closed block life insurance and annuities. GWL&A is retaining a block of participating policies, which will now be administered by Protective. "We are proud to announce the closing of our 57th acquisition", said Richard J. Bielen, Protective's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This is an exciting time in Protective's history. The addition of this seasoned, stable block of business diversifies our product mix, while providing strategic opportunities in the bank distribution channel and competitive positioning in new markets. We look forward to the opportunity to serve more customers". This is the fourth acquisition completed since Protective became part of Dai-ichi in 2015. Dai-ichi considers Protective to be its North American growth platform and continues to aim for further expansion in the region, through both acquisitions and organic growth in Protective's retail sales. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as financial advisor to Protective for the transaction and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP acted as legal counsel.

EX-99.1 25 v100637_ex99-1.htm NanoSensors, Inc. Closes Acquisition of Cuchulainn Holdings in connection with Redirection of Operations Thursday, January 17, 2:00 pm ET REDWOOD CITY, Calif., January 17 -- NanoSensors, Inc. ("NanoSensors") (OTC Bulletin Board: NNSR - News) today announced today that it has closed its acquisition of Cuchulainn Holdings, Inc., a Panamanian company (Cuchulainn). On November 28, 2007, NanoSensors announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement with Cuchulainn. This agreement was subject to usual and customary conditions which have now been satisfied or waived. Cuchulainn has been licensed technology and other intellectual property in order for it to operate an online-based video console game wagering service (the "Service"). The Service enables gamers to compete against other gamers and place wagers on the outcomes of their games. The outcome of the game play will be determined entirely upon the skill of the individual participant. The Service will cater to an international community of gamers that play video games and place wagers online. In November 2007 Cuchulainn raised $620,000 (U.S.) in a private placement to fund initial development and structuring costs. Prior to commencing operation of the Service and making it available for public participation, NanoSensors and Cuchulainn will need to raise additional capital to fund its operation and marketing campaign. At the time of closing, pursuant to the merger agreement, Cuchulainn merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of NanoSensors and became the wholly-owned subsidiary of NanoSensors. In the merger, each outstanding share of Cuchulainn will be exchanged for.000565 share of a new class of NanoSensors Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which will vote on an "as converted" basis together with issued and outstanding shares of NanoSensors Common Stock. Each Series A Preferred Share for voting purposes is equal to, and upon conversion will be converted into, 199,604.068 shares of NanoSensors Common Stock. Cuchulainn had issued and outstanding 17,700,000 shares of common stock. As a result of the merger, the former shareholders of Cuchulainn will own 82.55% of the voting power of NanoSensors and current shareholders of NanoSensors own the remainder. The shares of NanoSensors Preferred Stock are issued under an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and are restricted shares. NanoSensors will use its reasonable efforts to grant registration rights to the Cuchulainn shareholders. Two shareholders and nominees of Cuchulainn, William Levy and Tom Hendren, will join the management team of NanoSensors and also will become directors of NanoSensors. Robert A. Baron, currently chairman of the Board of Directors and Interim Chief Executive Officer of NanoSensors, will remain as a director. Josh Moser, the Company's Interim Chief Financial Officer, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer will also continue to be an executive officer of the NanoSensors. Robert Baron, Interim Chief Executive Officer of NanoSensors, Inc., said, "We are extremely excited to finalize this transaction with Cuchulainn and are looking forward to working with the Cuchulainn team as we roll out this exciting new business. As we have stated previously, we will also be changing the name of the company from NanoSensors to one that is more associated to the chosen go-to-market brand and Service".

EX-99.1 2 ex99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 For Immediate Release LINCOLN EDUCATIONAL SERVICES COMPLETES REAL ESTATE SALE OF DENVER AND GRAND PRAIRIE PROPERTIES SIGNIFICANTLY STRENGTHENING ITS BALANCE SHEET Parsippany, NJ - November 2, 2021 - Lincoln Educational Services Corporation (NASDAQ: LINC), marking 75 years in 2021 as a national leader in specialized technical training, has completed the sale- and lease-back transactions of its Denver, CO and Grand Prairie, TX properties, for an aggregate sale price of $46.5 million. Simultaneously, Lincoln entered into a 20-year triple-net lease agreement for each property, with renewal options. In connection with the sale, Lincoln anticipates recording a gain on sale of approximately $22 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The transactions were initially announced in late September. At closing, part of the proceeds were used to pay off Lincoln's outstanding term loan obligation of $16.8 million and to pay closing costs of approximately $1.2 million, resulting in net proceeds of $28.5 million available to fund growth initiatives, upgrade existing facilities, as well as other working capital needs. All campus operations at the Colorado and Texas campuses, including all training programs, will continue without interruption and will not be affected by these transactions.

EX-99.1 3 a06-22814_1ex99d1.htm EX-99 EXHIBIT 99.1 Catalytica Energy Systems Announces Sale of Diesel Fuel Processing Technology and Related Assets TEMPE, AZ, Oct 26, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) - Catalytica Energy Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CESI) announced today that it has completed a sale of its diesel fuel processing technology and associated business assets to Eaton Corporation. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Catalytica Energy Systems received $2.4 million in gross cash proceeds from the sale in exchange for the assignment and license of intellectual property relating to its diesel fuel processing system and the transfer of certain assets. In addition, Eaton paid the Company an additional $700,000 in connection with the sale and related expenses. Also in connection with the sale, Catalytica Energy Systems incurred total sales commissions and related closing costs of approximately $300,000. Effective immediately, Eaton's Truck Group is assuming the lease of Catalytica Energy Systems' Mountain View, California research and development facility, and is hiring many of the Company's California-based employees to complement its product development activities. This sale marks Catalytica Energy Systems' exit from the diesel emissions control business, and further advances the Company's initiatives to divest of certain businesses, assets and technologies, and maintain financial viability by reducing costs. Rob Zack, president and CEO of Catalytica Energy Systems, stated, "Completing this sale further strengthens our balance sheet, reduces significantly our cash consumption, mitigates our technology risk, and positions us to become a stronger, self-sustaining company with our SCR catalyst and management services business serving as a solid foundation for growth. We concluded that the value of our diesel technology could be more successfully harvested by an organization with greater financial resources, integration and commercial experience in the diesel industry. This sale will enable us to redeploy our resources on commercial opportunities yielding greater near-term revenue streams and return on investment. "Closing this sale also completes our transition over the past year from a technology-focused research and development organization to a customer-focused, commercial SCR services business. As a result of the actions taken over the past year to restructure our operations and reduce overhead, Catalytica Energy Systems has emerged on stable financial footing and in a strong position to drive the business commercially, deliver improved financial performance, achieve long-term sustainability, and positively impact shareholder value. In addition to growing our SCR-Tech business, we will continue to explore new opportunities and strategic transactions that could further expand our portfolio of commercial product and service offerings and generate increased value in the business". In the first half of 2006, revenues from SCR catalyst and management services grew to $3.9 million, a 325% increase over the first half of 2005. SCR-Tech's solid backlog of firm orders totaling $3.8 million at July 31, 2006, combined with an active sales pipeline, positions Catalytica Energy Systems to meet its full-year target for revenues in the range of $6.0 to $7.0 million. Catalytica Energy Systems provides innovative products and services to meet the growing demand for clean energy production, with a focus on cost-effective emissions control solutions for the coal-fired power generation industry. Through its SCR-Tech subsidiary (www.SCR-Tech.com), the Company offers a variety of services for coal-fired power plants that use selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. These services include SCR catalyst management, cleaning and regeneration, as well as consulting services to help power plant operators optimize efficiency and reduce overall NOx compliance costs.

EX-99.1 3 ex99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 CorEnergy Completes Acquisition of Grand Isle Gathering System Expected to support 11% dividend increase in second half of 2015 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KANSAS CITY, Mo. - June 30, 2015 - CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (NYSE: CORR, CORRPrA) ("CorEnergy or the "Company") today announced that it has closed its previously announced acquisition of 100% of the Grand Isle Gathering System (the "GIGS"), a subsea, midstream pipeline system in the Gulf of Mexico, from Energy XXI USA, Inc. ("EXXI"). An EXXI affiliate has entered into a long-term, triple-net lease to operate the GIGS system. "We are delivering on our promise of a stable and growing dividend in an investor-friendly REIT structure", said David Schulte, Chief Executive Officer of CorEnergy. "Our operating lease represents long-term contracted revenue for CorEnergy, with potential upside through participating rents. The lease is underpinned by a critical pipeline serving large oil-producing fields on the Gulf of Mexico shelf. This asset brings CorEnergy's total assets to approximately $700 million, diversified across different geographies, commodities, and points on the energy value chain". CorEnergy's Board of Directors has confirmed its intent to increase the annualized dividend rate from $0.54 per share to $0.60 per share beginning with the distribution for the third quarter of 2015. "Energy XXI is pleased to finalize this agreement with CorEnergy and we look forward to a long partnership in the Gulf of Mexico. This transaction provides both parties with significant value to their stakeholders", Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer John Schiller said. "Under the agreement, Energy XXI will remain the operator of the GIGS system, and we will continue to operate the assets with the same high level of safety and integrity that we have since we purchased them in 2010". The Grand Isle Gathering System The GIGS includes 153 miles of undersea pipeline that transports oil and water primarily from six Energy XXI fields. Its 16-acre onshore terminal includes four storage tanks, a saltwater disposal facility with three injection wells, and associated pipelines, land, buildings and facilities. The GIGS system currently transports approximately 60,000 barrels/day (18,000 oil and 42,000 water) with total capacity of 120,000 barrels/day. CorEnergy has leased the GIGS to an EXXI affiliate, which now continues to operate the system under a long-term, triple-net lease. GIGS volumes represented approximately 42% of EXXI's oil production for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. The primary term of the lease is 11 years, with an initial renewal term of nine years, subject to certain conditions. Transaction Financing CorEnergy acquired 100% of the GIGS system for a cash purchase price of $245 million and the assumption of asset retirement obligation ("ARO") liabilities of approximately $12.5 million, for a total consideration of $257.5 million. The Company financed the acquisition with a combination of a follow-on common stock offering that generated $73.5 million net of underwriting discounts, a new issue of convertible debt that generated $111.3 million net of underwriting discounts, and approximately $42 million advanced under the 1100 Walnut, Suite 3350, Kansas City, MO 64106 | Main: 816-875-3705 | Fax: 816-875-5875 | corridortrust.com Company's existing Senior Credit Facility.

EX-99.1 2 a14-9541_2ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 MTV ANNOUNCES IT WILL BROADCAST TOMORROWLAND 2014 ACROSS ITS INTERNATIONAL CHANNELS WORLD'S PRE-EMINENT AWARD WINNING ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC FESTIVAL TO BE TELEVISED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ITS 10-YEAR HISTORY Click to Tweet: MTV to broadcast EDM festival @Tomorrowland 2014 across its international channels LONDON / NEW YORK - (April 2, 2014) - MTV today announced it will be the exclusive international broadcast partner for Tomorrowland 2014 , the world's premier electronic dance music festival. MTV will air original content incorporating live event and documentary footage as part of its MTV World Stage franchise. This partnership marks the first time in Tomorrowland's history that the hugely popular festival will be televised. Two hours of Tomorrowland 2014 festival footage will air as part of the MTV World Stage franchise, which runs across MTV's 60+ international channels in nearly 170 territories and is available in 550 million homes around the globe. The two, 60-minute World Stage: Tomorrowland specials are scheduled to premiere in August 2014. "Tomorrowland is a festival in a category of its own, so we're excited to bring this content to MTV's international audiences", said Bruce Gillmer, Executive Vice President of Talent and Music Programming/Events, Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN). "Electronic dance music has been part of MTV's repertoire for almost two decades, stretching right back to the early years - particularly in Europe. So working with Tomorrowland is a perfect fit, and connects us with the new generation of EDM fans and followers around the world". Tomorrowland, which won its third "Best Music Festival" Award at the IDMA in Miami last week, is the world's leading electronic dance music festival, celebrating its 10th anniversary this summer. The Belgian festival sold its 360,000 tickets available for the 2014 edition in less than one hour to guests from over 190 countries. This autumn Tomorrowland will be exported for the second time as TomorrowWorld to the Chattahoochee Hills close to Atlanta, USA. In addition to the World Stage broadcast, MTV also announced today that it will be developing a documentary celebrating Tomorrowland's 10-year history as one of the world's most popular and successful festivals. The documentary is expected to be released in late 2014. # # # For further information, please contact: MTV: Bernadette Simpao Viacom International Media Networks +1 212 654 4311 bernadette.simpao@vimn.com SFX Entertainment: Ed Tagliaferri DKC Public Relations +1 212 981 5182 edmund_tagliaferri@dkcnews.com About MTV MTV is the world's premier youth entertainment brand.

(Vecta) dated March 1, 2013; whereby Vecta has conveyed assignments for an undivided 30% working interest in leasehold within the DJ Basin Greenhorn AMI (AMI) covering approximately 13,530 net acres. Synergy's position in the NE Wattenberg Extension Area is now over 41,000 net acres. Its working interest in the AMI with Vecta has increased to 65%, and the remaining 35% working interest in the AMI will be owned by an affiliate of Vecta, Foreland Resources LLC, and other parties. The purchase price of the conveyed leases is $250 per net acre, payable in 287,642 restricted shares of Synergy's common stock, equating to approximately $3.4 million based on $11.76 price per share. Craig Rasmuson, Chief Operating Officer, of Synergy commented, "We are pleased to close on this transaction increasing our working interest in the DJ Greenhorn AMI. We have received a drilling permit from the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission for the Conrad 44-1GHZ well, which is located in the AMI. We have contracted with a services company to conduct and process a hazard seismic survey in the area over the next few weeks. We plan on moving Ensign Rig #131 from our Cannon pad in late May and begin drilling the Conrad horizontal well to a standard 4,000 foot lateral length targeting the Greenhorn formation by May 31st".

EX-99.1 2 a5421438ex991.txt EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Sovran Self Storage Announces Acquisition of Safe Mini Storage Facilities from Breland Companies BUFFALO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 2007--Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (NYSE:SSS), a self-storage real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced the acquisition of fourteen self-storage facilities for a total cost of $84 million. Five of the stores are located in the Company's existing markets; two each in Pensacola, FL; Montgomery, AL; and one in Auburn, AL. Four of the facilities are in the Huntsville, AL market, two in Mobile, AL; and three are in the Gulfport, MS area. Huntsville, Mobile, and Gulfport are all new markets for the Company's stores. The stores currently operate under the name Safe Mini Storage and encompass a total of 1.2 million square feet of net rentable storage space. The Company will re-brand all of the stores with its trade name of Uncle Bob's Self Storage(R). Funding for the acquisition was provided by proceeds drawn on the Company's Line of Credit and cash flow from operations. The Locke Group, LLC, represented Sovran in the transaction. David Rogers, the Company's Chief Financial Officer commented, "We are very pleased to bring the Safe Mini stores into our fold. These are high quality properties in fast growing markets, and we're excited about the opportunity". Louis Breland, owner of Safe Mini said, "After having received many inquiries over the past few years, and having performed a thorough research of Sovran, the Sovran offer is the only one that we have ever entertained. It was only after personally meeting with Sovran's executive staff, and experiencing their up front and straight-forward approach to our company and the Safe Mini on-site management team that I had decided to move forward in selling a business that has taken some twenty years to build. I am pleased that the Safe Mini acquisition will provide Sovran with 14 premium locations and an excellent on site management team. After working with Sovran over the past 4 months, I am even more confident now that Sovran is a good-fit for Safe Mini, and that I have made the right decision to sell to one of the most highly professional organizations in the self storage industry". The Company also announced that, in a separate transaction, it acquired a facility in San Antonio, TX at a cost of $3.4 million. The store has 73,000 sq. ft. of rentable space, and is the tenth Uncle Bob's location in San Antonio. Sovran Self Storage, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed equity REIT that is in the business of acquiring and managing self-storage facilities. The Company operates 354 self-storage facilities in 22 states under the name "Uncle Bob's Self Storage"(R).

EX-99 2 exh_991.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 exh_991.htm Exhibit 99.1 NGP Capital Resources Company Announces Sale of Alden and Gatliff Investments NGP Capital Resources Company (NASDAQ: NGPC) (the "Company") today announced that on Thursday, July 28, 2011, the Company completed the sale of all of its interests in Alden Resources, LLC ("Alden") and Gatliff Services, LLC ("Gatliff") to Globe Specialty Metals Inc. (NASDAQ: GSM) ("Globe") for cash proceeds totaling $73.2 million and a contingent cash "earn-out" payment of up to $6.8 million payable within three years. The contingent payment is dependent upon Alden's ability to achieve certain production and operating margin levels during the next three years. Alden is a miner and processor of specialty coal marketed primarily to manufacturers of silicon metals. Gatliff owns a coal preparation plant that processes Alden's coal, and has recently completed significant upgrades to the plant. Globe is a producer of silicon metal and silicon-based alloys, and is one of Alden's largest customers. "Our initial investment in Alden was made in January 2007, and since that time it has grown to be the largest investment in our portfolio", said Kelly Plato, the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. "The sale to Globe allowed us to realize a favorable return and represents a successful exit that will also provide us with greater flexibility and diversification in our portfolio as we reinvest the proceeds during the coming months". Steve Gardner, the Company's President and CEO stated, "The successful resolution of our investment in Alden is the direct result of the hard work, skill and professionalism of our investment, accounting and treasury teams. I want to specifically recognize the dedication and perseverance of Chris Ryals and Aaron Killian, who were the investment team members most closely involved with the Alden investment". As a result of this transaction, during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company will recognize previously reserved interest income of $4.5 million attributable to Alden's Tranche B Term Loan, and net unrealized depreciation on investments totaling $9.8 million before income taxes. In July 2011, the Company will recognize interest and royalty income of approximately $2.1 million related to Alden and Gatliff, including the acceleration of original issue discount of $1.1 million. Also in July, the Company will record realized capital losses of approximately $3.7 million, with a corresponding decrease in unrealized depreciation of approximately the same amount.

NOVI, Mich. - April 1, 2019 - Stoneridge, Inc. (NYSE: SRI), a leader in highly engineered electrical and electronic components for the commercial vehicle and automotive industry, announced today that it has sold assets related to non-core switches and connectors product lines to Standard Motor Products, Inc.

"Stoneridge has undergone a significant business transformation to position the Company for long-term growth", said Jon DeGaynor, president and chief executive officer, Stoneridge. "This divestiture is part of an initiative to better align Stoneridge's operations and engineering footprint and focus resources on the technology platforms and growth products that will drive value for our customers, shareholders and employees".

EX-99.1 4 ex-99d1.htm EX-99.1 waas_Ex99_1 Exhibit 99.1 Press Release investors@aquaventure.com Investors Hotline: 855-278-WAAS (9227) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 1, 2018 AquaVenture Holdings Limited Announces Acquisition of AUC Group and Expansion of Corporate Credit Agreement (Tampa, Fla.) - AquaVenture Holdings Limited (NYSE: WAAS) ("AquaVenture" or the "Company"), a leader in Water-as-a-ServiceTM ("WAASTM") solutions, today announced that it completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of AUC Acquisitions Holdings, LLC ("AUC") for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $130.0 million, including approximately $128.0 million cash and 121,956 AquaVenture ordinary shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the purchase agreement. AUC provides wastewater treatment and water reuse solutions primarily to property developers and municipal customers, including utility districts, in the United States. The wastewater treatment products and services offered include scalable modular treatment plants, field-erected treatment plants and temporary bypass plants. The products and services are delivered to customers through capital and financed equipment sales, and leasing arrangements. Since beginning operations more than 45 years ago, AUC has delivered over 1,500 wastewater treatment and water reuse plants ranging in capacity from 5,000 gallons per day to over 1.5 million gallons per day, and currently has more than 80 leases of wastewater treatment plants to customers. AUC is headquartered in Houston, Texas. Doug Brown, Chairman and CEO of AquaVenture Holdings, commented: "We are excited to announce the acquisition of AUC, which expands our WAAS solutions in the wastewater treatment and water reuse businesses. AUC's business model of offering fully-financed solutions with long-term customer relationships mirrors AquaVenture's existing portfolio while broadening our footprint in the United States. We welcome our new teammates and customers to the AquaVenture family". In addition, the Company entered into an amendment of its $150.0 million senior secured credit agreement ("Amended Corporate Credit Agreement") on November 1, 2018 to increase its borrowings to $260.0 million and to reduce the interest rate for the existing $150.0 million loan by 50 basis points on both the variable and fixed portions. A portion of the incremental debt in addition to existing cash was used to fund the acquisition of AUC.

EX-99.1 25 ex99_1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Unassociated Document Exhibit 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Kay Stroman, Grande Communications Networks LLC (512) 878-5221 kay.stroman@corp.grandecom.com RECAPITALIZATON OF GRANDE COMMUNICATIONS SAN MARCOS, Texas - September 15, 2009 - Grande Communications Holdings, Inc. announced today that the recapitalization of its wholly-owned subsidiary and operating company, Grande Communications Networks LLC, successor in interest to Grande Communications Networks, Inc. ("Grande Communications"), has been completed. Grande Communications will now be owned indirectly by a newly formed partnership in which a fund managed by ABRY Partners, LLC ("ABRY") owns a controlling interest. Grande Communications Holdings, Inc. will hold an indirect minority interest in Grande Communications. As part of the transaction, Grande Communications will be managed by Atlantic Broadband Finance, LLC, an existing portfolio company of ABRY, whose management team includes several cable industry veterans. In connection with the transaction, the 14% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 of Grande Communications Holdings, Inc., which were guaranteed by Grande Communications, were repurchased or called for redemption. The transaction was financed through a combination of equity financing from a fund managed by ABRY and certain affiliated entities and Grande Communications' new credit facility under its credit agreement with Société Générale as administrative agent. Scott Ferguson, Grande's Vice President of Operations, said the additional capital will allow continued investment in its operations as well as future growth.

EX-99.1 2 v372667_ex99-1.htm EX-99.1 PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Amanda Gillum (606) 324-2914 POAGE BANKSHARES, INC. REPORTS FINAL MERGER CONSIDERATION FOR TOWN SQUARE FINANCIAL CORPORATION SHAREHOLDERS Ashland, Kentucky - March 25, 2014. Poage Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBSK) (the "Company"), the holding company for Home Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Home Federal"), today announced the cash/stock election results for its acquisition of Town Square Financial Corporation ("Town Square") and Town Square Bank on March 18, 2014. Under the terms of the merger agreement, 55% of the outstanding shares of Town Square common stock must be converted into Company common stock and the remaining 45% of the outstanding shares of Town Square common stock must be converted into cash. A shareholder cash/stock election was conducted and completed on March 18, 2014 wherein Town Square shareholders were provided the opportunity to select their preferred form of consideration, subject to the allocation and proration procedures contained in the merger agreement and the total mix of cash/stock merger consideration available. Town Square shareholder cash elections exceeded the 45% limitation established in the merger agreement. Consequently, Town Square shareholders electing to receive cash were subject to the allocation and proration procedures and are receiving a portion of their merger consideration in Poage common stock and in cash as noted below. Based on the final election results and applying the proration provisions set forth in the merger agreement, Town Square shareholders will receive the following based upon their election: · Town Square shareholders will receive 2.3289 shares of Poage common stock for each share of Town Square common stock for which they made a valid stock election; · Town Square shareholders will receive approximately 0.23289 shares of Poage common stock and $30.47 in cash for each share of Town Square common stock for which they made a valid cash election; and · Town Square shareholders who expressed no preference as to cash or stock consideration or who did not make a valid election will receive 2.3289 shares of Poage common stock for each share of Town Square common stock tendered. Under the merger agreement, fractional shares of Poage common stock will not be issued. Instead, Town Square shareholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares based on the average closing price of Poage common stock of $14.0517 for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the closing date of March 18, 2014. On or about March 26, 2014, the Company's exchange agent will distribute on the cash consideration and a confirmation of the number of shares of Company common stock owned by former shareholders of record of Town Square common stock to such shareholders. Questions about the distribution of merger consideration should be addressed to the Company's exchange agent, Registrar and Transfer Company, at 1-800-368-5948. About Poage Bankshares, Inc.

EX-99.1 2 ex991-announcementofmusaac.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit Exhibit 99.1 NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Synalloy Corporation Closes on the Purchase of Marcegaglia USA's Stainless Steel Pipe and Tube Operations Richmond, Virginia., March 1, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Synalloy Corporation (Nasdaq: SYNL) today announced that its subsidiary Bristol Metals, LLC, has closed on the purchase of Marcegaglia USA's stainless steel pipe and tube operations. The purchase price for the transaction of $14.95 million includes primarily the stainless steel pipe and tube manufacturing equipment and inventory assets of the business. The combined business will operate as Bristol Metals, LLC, with facilities in Bristol, TN and Munhall, PA. The new Bristol Metals, LLC will be the largest domestic producer of welded stainless steel pipe and mechanical tube in North America, with market share approaching 40%. Craig Bram, President and CEO of Synalloy Corporation noted, "The combined capacity of the two operations will exceed 70 million pounds annually across all product lines. At 2014 pricing and demand levels, the new Bristol Metals, LLC has the potential to generate in excess of $150 million in annual revenue". Kyle Pennington, President of Synalloy Metals said, "We will spend the balance of 2017 integrating the sales and operations of the two companies and expect a smooth transition. Best practices and procedures will be adopted from both operations to ensure the highest in product quality and service to our customers. The acquisition of Marcegaglia USA's laser and TIG mills enhances our on-going business with additional capacity and technological advantages. Bristol Metals, LLC will have the most extensive product line and capacity in the industry. We can now offer a full range of tubing products to support our new heavy wall capabilities and traditional welded pipe markets. We are well positioned compared to other competitors supplying our markets".

Our focus is on leveraging proprietary data assets and best of breed technology to give clients a clear strategic advantage in the evolving healthcare market. In addition, the OCS product portfolio leveraged across NRC clients, most notably the 7,000 long-term care providers, creates an exciting new market for OCS benchmarking products".

EX-99.1 2 qumu142503_ex99-1.htm PRESS RELEASE DATED JULY 1, 2014 Exhibit 99.1 Qumu Corporation Closes Sale of Disc Publishing Assets High Growth Software Business Now Sole Focus Transaction Adds Significant Cash to Qumu's Balance Sheet Minneapolis, MN - July 1, 2014 - Qumu Corporation (NASDAQ: QUMU), a leader in enterprise video platforms, today announced the closing of its previously announced all-cash sale of the Rimage disc publishing assets to Redwood Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Equus Holdings, Inc. Redwood Acquisition is now known as Rimage Corporation. The completion of this transaction enables Qumu to focus effort and resources exclusively on the Company's high growth enterprise video content management software business, which has been recognized as a leader by several industry analysts including Gartner ® and Forrester ® . "Today marks a milestone in Qumu's transformation into a high growth software company with video solutions that are considered best of class by our customers and independent industry analysts", said Sherman Black, president and CEO. "The completion of the sale of our disc publishing assets required a tremendous amount of work by our organization and Equus and we deeply appreciate the efforts put forward by both teams. In addition, and equally important, we appreciate the overwhelming support our shareholders provided us with their vote. Our Qumu team is now totally focused, and dedicated, to capitalizing on the significant market opportunity we have in delivering video for the enterprise, particularly through mobile and cloud applications". The completion of this transaction provides Qumu with approximately $19 to $20 million in net cash after closing costs, post-closing adjustments, taxes and the assumed return of the $2.3 million, 15 month escrow. Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Without limiting the foregoing, words such as "may", "will," "expect", "believe", "anticipate", or "estimate" or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual results might differ materially from those stated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties associated with the transaction and the Company's business, including the risk that the escrowed funds are subject to reduction to satisfy indemnification claims under the purchase agreement; the effects of disruption from the transaction, making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and other business partners of our software business; risks related to Qumu's ability to operate its retained software business; the challenges associated with transitioning the software business and disc publishing business to separate, stand alone operations following closing; and the factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC. 1 About Qumu Qumu Corporation (NASDAQ: QUMU) provides the tools businesses need to create, manage, secure, distribute and measure the success of their videos.

EX-99.1 10 rd7956ex991.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 EXHIBIT 99.1 Radiation Therapy Services Acquires Facility Network in Michigan - Second New Local Market Entry in 2006 - - Significant Technology Implementation Opportunity - FORT MYERS, Fla., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radiation Therapy Services, Inc. (Nasdaq: RTSX), a leading operator of radiation therapy centers, announced today it has acquired a cluster network of radiation therapy treatment centers in Southeastern Michigan, collectively known as MIRO Cancer Centers and Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Institute (MIRO/MCCI), its second new local market entry in 2006. The acquisition follows the Company's entry into the Los Angeles local market in April. The seven-facility network consists of two full service facilities, five satellite facilities and Certificates of Need to operate a total of eight linear accelerators. The acquisition provides the Company with a substantial opportunity to implement advanced technologies across the network. Current advanced technology used at the acquired centers consist of two IMRT-capable facilities with a utilization of less than 25% and IGRT capability that is currently limited to ultrasound technology. The Company plans to implement advanced technologies, including IMRT and x-ray based IGRT, at certain of the centers. The network currently treats a total of approximately 100 patients per day and the facilities generate annual global revenues of approximately $14.0 million. The acquisition was financed by the Company's existing revolving credit facility and the Company did not assume any debt in the transaction. Following this transaction, the remaining availability on the credit facility totaled approximately $76 million. Additional information on the acquisition can be found in the Company's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As part of the acquisition, the Chief Executive of the seven acquired facilities, Dr. Farideh R. Bagne, will remain in a transitional executive management role to assist in integrating the acquired facilities into the Radiation Therapy operating structure. Dr. Daniel Dosoretz, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "This acquisition is strategically significant in a number of important ways. First, it provides us with a strong and immediate presence in a new local market. The seven centers are clustered with close proximity to one another, allowing us to leverage our resources. The opportunity to implement advanced technologies across these facilities is substantial. We expect our expertise in implementing advanced technologies to give us the ability to expand the centers' capability to treat new types of cancer across a broader patient population, which we anticipate would promote robust growth in patients treated and long-term revenues. Lastly, Michigan is a state that requires Certificate of Need to operate linear accelerators, a significant competitive barrier to entry. Eight CONs are being acquired in this transaction, which gives us a strong competitive position in this new local market".

EX-99.1 5 dex991.htm PRESS RELEASE DATED DECEMBER 21,2007 Press Release dated December 21,2007 EXHIBIT 99.1 StoneMor Partners L.P. Completes Acquisition of 45 Cemeteries and 30 Funeral Homes BRISTOL, PA - (MARKET WIRE) - 12/21/2007- StoneMor Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: STON) announced today that it had completed the acquisition of 45 cemeteries, 30 funeral homes and one pet cemetery from Service Corporation International (NYSE: SCI) and other entities for the aggregate purchase price of $68.0 million in cash, subject to various post closing adjustments. The conveyances of 1 cemetery in Hawaii and 1 funeral home in Florida are subject to state regulatory approval which is expected to be obtained in the first quarter of 2008. Pending such approval, these properties will continue to be operated by SCI. These properties do not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a material portion of the properties we acquired today from SCI. In conjunction with this transaction, StoneMor received control of cemetery merchandise trusts of approximately $68.0 million and perpetual care trusts of approximately $50.4 million, related to these locations. In addition, StoneMor will assume the merchandise and service liabilities associated with certain pre-arranged bonded contracts valued at approximately $20.5 million related to the properties. The properties acquired are located in California (7 cemeteries and 10 funeral homes), Ohio (7 cemeteries and 1 funeral home), Illinois (5 cemeteries and 2 funeral homes), Tennessee (3 cemeteries and 4 funeral homes), Indiana (5 cemeteries), Oregon (2 cemeteries and 3 funeral homes), Alabama (2 cemeteries and 2 funeral homes), North Carolina (3 cemeteries), Missouri (2 cemeteries and 1 funeral home), South Carolina (2 cemeteries and 2 funeral homes), Puerto Rico (2 cemeteries and 1 funeral home), Washington (2 cemeteries), Arkansas (2 funeral homes), Hawaii (1 cemetery), Iowa (1 cemetery), Kentucky (1 cemetery) Florida (1 funeral home) and West Virginia (1 funeral home). In 2006, these properties performed approximately 8,300 interments and 3,700 calls and generated revenues of approximately $44.0 million. About StoneMor Partners L.P. StoneMor Partners L.P., headquartered in Bristol, Pennsylvania, is an owner and operator of cemeteries and funeral homes in the United States, with 223 cemeteries and 57 funeral homes in 27 states plus Puerto Rico.

Forward Looking Statements This press release includes statements that may constitute "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, statements about future events and relationships, plans, future growth, and future performance, including statements about the acquisition of SCI and the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of SCI, are forward-looking statements. These statements are often identified by the use of words such as "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "designed", "may", "plan", "predict", "project", "would" and similar expressions or variations, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events as of the date hereof and any forward-looking statements contained herein should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. Subsequent events and developments, including actual results or changes in our assumptions, may cause our views to change. While we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions, projections, or expectations prove incorrect, actual results, performance, financial condition, or events may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, estimated, or expected. Our actual results and outcomes could differ materially from those included in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to risks that the expected benefits from the proposed acquisition of SCI will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period, the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully, significant transaction costs, unknown or understated liabilities, as well as the factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and any other periodic reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EX-99.2 5 v412237_ex99-2.htm EXHIBIT 99.2 Exhibit 99.2 OFS CAPITAL CORPORATION SELLS $67.3 MILLION IN LOWER-YIELDING SENIOR LOANS ABOVE FIRST QUARTER AGGREGATE FAIR VALUE OFS Plans To Redeploy Proceeds Into Higher-Yielding Direct Loans, Enhancing Portfolio Yield CHICAGO-June 2, 2015-OFS Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: OFS), a business development company specializing in meeting the capital needs of middle market borrowers, announced today that on May 28, 2015, it sold the majority of its lower-yielding senior club loan portfolio for approximately $67.3 million to Madison Capital Funding LLC. This sale price is approximately $0.6 million higher than the March 31, 2015 aggregate fair value of the loans sold, as reported in OFS Capital Corporation's quarterly SEC filings. OFS Capital Corporation applied approximately $52.4 million from the sales proceeds to pay in full and retire its senior secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. OFS Capital Corporation expects to deploy the remaining cash proceeds to originate higher-yielding direct loans. Since June 2014, OFS Capital Corporation has increased the weighted average yield on its debt portfolio by more than 200 basis points by continuing to focus on originating higher-yielding direct loans while de-emphasizing senior club loans. "This transaction is part of our previously announced plan to redeploy capital from the lower-yielding senior club loan portfolio into higher-yielding direct loans", said Bilal Rashid, Chief Executive Officer of OFS Capital Corporation. "We expect to continue to monetize our remaining pool of senior club loans as and when the company needs additional capital to originate these higher-yielding loans. By repaying the Wells Fargo facility, we have freed up capital and positioned the balance sheet to continue to provide flexible financing solutions to our middle-market borrowers and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders". About OFS Capital Corporation OFS Capital is an externally managed, closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company. OFS Capital's investment objective is to provide shareholders with both current income and capital appreciation primarily through debt investments and, to a lesser extent, equity investments. OFS Capital invests primarily in privately-held middle-market companies in the United States, including lower-middle-market companies, targeting investments of $3 to $20 million in companies with annual EBITDA between $3 million and $50 million. OFS Capital offers flexible solutions through a variety of asset classes including senior secured loans, which includes first-lien, second-lien and unitranche loans, as well as subordinated loans and, to a lesser extent, warrants and other minority equity securities.

(AMEX: SZI), a provider of transportation and logistics management services to a select client base ranging from mid-sized to Fortune 500 companies, announced today that it has completed the sale of assets from the Temple Trucking business unit ("Temple") to TTSI Holdings, Inc as of July 1, 2005. TTSI Holdings and Paul Temple will purchase certain assets of approximately $330,250 in value and receive a $250,000 line of credit for one year at a rate of 6 percent, secured by accounts receivable of TTSI Holdings, Inc. TTSI Holdings Inc. and Mr. Temple will pay Segmentz Inc. ("Segmentz") the fair market value of the assets through a $105,000, six-year term note at a rate of 6 percent and 265,000 shares of Segmentz, Inc. common stock. Furthermore, Paul Temple released Segmentz from any and all earn-out obligations under an asset purchase agreement between Segmentz, Paul Temple, and Temple Trucking Services, Inc., dated November 22, 2004. Equipment leases, property leases, and all employment contracts associated with the original Temple Trucking Services asset purchase agreement and certain additional leases have been assumed by TTSI Holdings, Inc. The immediate cash requirements to fund this transaction will be aided by the funding provided through the sale of the former Dasher headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky. Furthermore, management noted that cash flows will be bolstered by the collection of Temple's accounts receivable balances as of July 1, 2005. Mr. Welch, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The sale of this business unit, the sale of our building in Lexington and the decrease in the outstanding accounts receivable balances, along with our existing cash balances, provide sufficient capital to execute the Company's strategy for the foreseeable future. We do not believe we have the need to raise additional capital to fund expected operations. This transaction is another significant step in our strategy to focus our endeavors in expedited and premium transportation. Paul Temple operates a first-class pick-up and delivery business, but we found the synergies between Temple and our expedited business were not providing significant enough benefit to our customers. Furthermore, it is our desire to align our growth with owner operators, and this pick up and delivery business is better suited in an asset based model". As part of the reorganization, the Company is transitioning its corporate headquarters from Tampa, Florida to Buchanan, Michigan, and Mr. Andrew Norstrud, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, has elected to not relocate his family to Michigan and thus Andrew Norstrud and the Company has come to a mutual agreement to terminate his employment contract. Andrew Norstrud will continue to function as the Chief Financial Officer as an at will employee under the same salary and benefits. Mike Welch, commented, "Andy has greatly assisted the Company with mergers and acquisitions, financial reporting, capital raising and investor relations over the past few years. While we are disappointed he will not be part of our long-term strategy, however we understand his desire to remain in Florida and wish him the best in his future endeavors". About Segmentz, Inc.

EX-99.1 3 v054229_ex99-1.htm Unassociated Document Tejas Incorporated Announces Sale of Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, Capital & Technology Advisors, Inc. AUSTIN, TEXAS- October 2, 2006- Tejas Incorporated (OTC BB:TEJS) announced today that it has sold its wholly owned subsidiary Capital & Technology Advisors Inc. ("C&TA"), the management and consulting firm that it acquired in July, 2005, to the former owners of C&TA. Under the terms of the agreement governing the sale, Tejas sold the stock of the subsidiary to its former owners in exchange for 3,157,895 shares of Tejas common stock which was the Tejas stock portion of the consideration paid by Tejas for the subsidiary in 2005. Jared E. Abbruzzese Sr., who joined the Tejas board as part of the 2005 transaction has resigned from the Board of Directors of Tejas and Wayne Barr, who also joined Tejas in 2005, has resigned his positions with Tejas. John Gorman, Chairman of the Board of Tejas, commented "When we acquired Capital & Technology Advisors, Inc. in July 2005 we contemplated creating opportunistic synergies that would assist us to grow our franchise. Since the acquisition, we experienced an industry wide decrease in telecommunication restructurings and a related reduction in C&TA's customer engagements and fees.

EX-99.1 2 tm224618d1_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 January 27, 2022 Contact: Roger Schrum +843-339-6018 roger.schrum@sonoco.com Sonoco Completes Acquisition of Ball Metalpack Combination Further Expands Company's Sustainable Packaging Portfolio HARTSVILLE, S.C., U.S. - Sonoco (NYSE: SON), one of the largest sustainable global packaging companies, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Ball Metalpack, a leading manufacturer of sustainable metal packaging for food and household products and the largest aerosol can producer in North America. Ball Metalpack was a joint venture owned by Platinum Equity and Ball Corporation (NYSE: BLL). "Sonoco and Ball Metalpack are a clear strategic fit. The metal packaging business complements Sonoco's largest Consumer Packaging franchise - our iconic global Paper Cans and Closures business. In addition, this combination expands Sonoco's already established sustainable packaging portfolio to include metal packaging, which is one of the world's top circular economy adapted products", said Howard Coker, President and CEO of Sonoco. "We are extremely excited to welcome 1,300 experienced metal packaging associates into the Sonoco family. With a comprehensive and innovative product portfolio and facilities enhanced by significant recent investments in new technology and capacity, we believe the addition of this metal packaging business will further strengthen our stable cash flow generation and provide immediate earnings accretion". Previously part of Ball Corporation, the Ball Metalpack joint venture, headquartered in Broomfield, Colorado, was formed in 2018 and has more than 100 years of experience producing steel tinplate food and aerosol cans, as well as closures and packaging components from eight operations in Canton and Columbus, Ohio; Milwaukee and Deforest, Wisconsin; Chestnut Hill, Tennessee; Horsham, Pennsylvania; and Oakdale, California. Ball Metalpack generated approximately $850 million in revenue and $114 million of adjusted EBITDA in 2021. The Ball Metalpack name is being changed to Sonoco and its financial results are expected to be reported in Sonoco's Consumer Packaging segment. Jim Peterson, a 15-year leader in the metal packaging industry, will remain as President of Sonoco Metal Packaging, reporting to Rodger Fuller, Executive Vice President. The business' tenured management team also will remain with the business and there are no expected changes in operations or customer relationships as a result of the acquisition. Sonoco acquired Ball Metalpack for $1.35 billion in cash subject to customary adjustments, including for working capital, cash and indebtedness. The acquisition was funded by proceeds from the Company's recently completed $1.2 billion green bond issuance, together with borrowings under a new term-loan facility and its commercial paper program. As previously reported, Sonoco expects to realize future tax benefits having an estimated net present value of approximately $180 million from the acquisition mostly as a result of the step up in tax basis of fixed assets and intangibles. In addition, the Company expects to realize at least $20 million in annual synergies from procurement and SG&A savings within three years. Sonoco is committed to its investment grade credit rating and expects to focus its increased cash flow to support deleveraging within two years, while continuing to return cash to shareholders by growing dividends from increased earnings.

(Nasdaq: ARNA). Under the agreement, United Therapeutics acquired exclusive, worldwide rights to develop and manufacture the Phase 3 investigational drug candidate ralinepag, a next-generation, oral, selective and potent prostacyclin receptor agonist in development for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Upon closing, United Therapeutics paid Arena $800 million. Arena is also entitled to potential milestone payments of up to $400 million based on the achievement of certain regulatory events as well as low double-digit tiered royalties on annual net sales of ralinepag products. As previously announced, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the agreement was conditioned upon expiration or termination of the required waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, among other conditions. The requisite waiting period expired on January 22, 2019, and closing occurred on January 24, 2019.

(OTCBB: WPEC), a dealer of construction and industrial equipment, today announced that it completed the acquisition of Arizona Pacific Materials LLC, a basalt and cinder mining company with operating mines in Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona. Arizona Pacific Materials' current basalt reserves at the Phoenix mine site are 39 million metric tons proven, with an additional indicated 38 million metric tons. The cinder reserves are 1.2 million metric tons proven at the Phoenix mine, with an estimated 60 million metric tons of reserves at the Flagstaff mine. The basalt and cinder aggregates are used to produce concrete, asphalt, and building block and brick products. Estimated production in the first year of operations is up to 700,000 metric tons of basalt and 200,000 metric tons of cinder. The Company estimates that housing construction in the Phoenix area, including recent announcements from Del Webb Corp., will average in excess of 40,000 houses per year, which should result in the Phoenix operation being at full capacity within 24 months. The Flagstaff operation is centrally located to service the expanding Las Vegas market. It is the Company's belief that the Flagstaff operation will also be at full capacity within 24 months. Dean McLain, Western's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "This acquisition helps diversify the Company's operational base and should provide immediate incremental growth in revenue and profits for Western." He continued, "Western's acquisition is a part of a strategic effort to increase the Company's return on assets and provide greater shareholder value". Western returned to profitability in its fiscal year ending July 31, 2003 and continues to be profitable. The Company announced on August 11, 2004 that it expects its fiscal year 2004 net income to be at least 80% higher than fiscal year 2003. ABOUT WESTERN POWER & EQUIPMENT CORP.

EX-99.1 4 a18-41788_1ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 ReShape Lifesciences Acquires Lap-Band System in Exchange for ReShape Balloon Transaction Brings Broadly Reimbursed Product with Meaningful Revenue to ReShape SAN CLEMENTE, CA, December 18, 2018 - ReShape Lifesciences Inc. (NASDAQ: RSLS), a developer of minimally invasive medical devices to treat obesity and metabolic diseases, announced today that it has acquired the Lap-Band ® adjustable gastric band system from Apollo Endosurgery, Inc. and that Apollo Endosurgery has acquired the ReShape Balloon™ product line from ReShape Lifesciences. ReShape Lifesciences will pay Apollo Endosurgery a total cash purchase price of $17 million, with $10.0 million dollars paid at closing and the additional $7.0 million dollars to be paid in three annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of the transaction. "The acquisition of the Lap-Band product line adds a clinically proven, FDA-approved, minimally invasive technology with broad insurance coverage and meaningful established revenue and margins to ReShape Lifesciences", said Dan Gladney, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of ReShape Lifesciences. "We believe that shifting our product focus from the ReShape Balloon to the Lap-Band will significantly enhance our financial profile, bringing to our business a product that generated almost $15 million in revenue in the last nine months, with high associated gross margins and very low investment needs, allowing us more financial flexibility to fund our exciting technologies in development. We believe the Lap-Band System, which can leverage our historically strong relationships with the bariatric surgeon, is a more optimal market opportunity that is better aligned with our core strengths as an organization".

The Lap-Band System is an adjustable silicone band that is laparoscopically placed around the upper part of the stomach through a small incision, creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach, which slows the passage of food and creates a sensation of fullness. The procedure can normally be performed as an outpatient procedure, where the patient is able to go home the day of the procedure without the need for an overnight hospital stay .

EX-99.1 2 kentucky8kmar8-05ex99.txt 1 **PRESS RELEASE** ------------- Contact: ------- Tony D. Whitaker/Don D. Jennings Kentucky First Federal Bancorp (606) 436-3860 KENTUCKY FIRST FEDERAL BANCORP CONSUMMATES MINORITY STOCK OFFERING AND ACQUISITION OF FRANKFORT FIRST BANCORP, INC. Hazard, Kentucky, March 2, 2005 - Kentucky First Federal Bancorp ("Kentucky First") announced today it has consummated its minority stock offering, the related mutual holding company reorganization of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Hazard ("First Federal of Hazard") and the acquisition of Frankfort First Bancorp, Inc. ("Frankfort First") (NASDAQ: FKKY), the holding company for First Federal Savings Bank of Frankfort ("First Federal of Frankfort"). Shares of Frankfort First ceased trading as of the close of business today. Kentucky First is expected to commence trading on March 3, 2005, on The Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "KFFB". Kentucky First sold 2,127,572 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share in a subscription offering, which ended on February 14, 2005, to depositors of First Federal of Hazard as of June 30, 2003 and First Federal of Hazard's employee stock ownership plan in accordance with subscription rights granted under First Federal of Hazard's plan of stock issuance. In the merger, shareholders of Frankfort First will receive approximately 1,740,740 shares of Kentucky First's common stock and approximately $13.7 million in cash (including payments to holders of Frankfort First stock options). Shareholders who elected to receive stock in the merger will receive 1.95148 shares of Kentucky First's common stock and $3.9852 in cash for each of their Frankfort First shares. No fractional shares of Kentucky First common stock will be issued. Persons otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share of Kentucky First common stock will receive cash in an amount equal to $10.00 multiplied by such fraction. Shareholders who made a cash election for their Frankfort First shares, indicated "No Election" or did not timely submit a completed election form, will receive cash of $23.50 per Frankfort First share. Upon closing of the mutual holding company reorganization, First Federal of Hazard converted from a mutual savings and loan association to a capital stock savings bank, with the concurrent formation of Kentucky First as the stock, mid-tier holding company of First Federal of Hazard and the formation of First Federal MHC (the "MHC") as a mutual holding company. The purchasers of stock in the subscription offering and former Frankfort First shareholders who received Kentucky First's common stock in the merger will own 45% of Kentucky First's outstanding shares of common stock and the MHC will own 55% of Kentucky First's outstanding shares of common stock. Under a formula contained in the merger agreement, former Frankfort First shareholders received 45% of the shares issued to persons other than the MHC. 2 First Federal of Frankfort and First Federal of Hazard will remain separate banks following the merger, though each will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Kentucky First. The management teams of both subsidiary banks will remain the same after the transaction and no staff reductions at either bank are anticipated. Kentucky First's board of directors will include four of the former members of First Federal of Hazard's board of directors, two former members of Frankfort First's board of directors and Frankfort First's President, Don Jennings. R. Clay Hulette, C.P.A., Chief Financial Officer of Frankfort First, will serve as the Chief Financial Officer of Kentucky First and Roy Pulliam, Secretary of First Federal of Hazard, will serve as Secretary of Kentucky First. Tony Whitaker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kentucky First, said, "We are pleased by the outstanding support shown by our depositors and that the shareholders of Frankfort First have voted their support for our partnership. We look forward, under our new structure, to bring together the financial and human resources of the two banks for the benefit our shareholders, our customers, our employees and our communities". Don Jennings, President of Frankfort First and President and Chief Operating Officer of Kentucky First, added, "While this is a new company, we believe that we will be able to build upon the successful legacies our two institutions have forged over many years. We look forward to continuing to serve Frankfort First's former shareholders as well as the new shareholders from Hazard." Capital Resources, Inc. served as financial advisor and marketing agent with regard to the stock offering and Capital Resources Group, Inc. served as financial advisor with regard to the merger. Muldoon Murphy & Aguggia LLP served as counsel to First Federal of Hazard and Kentucky First. At December 31, 2004, First Federal of Hazard had total assets of $139.0 million, deposits of $97.4 million and total capital of $32.0 million. At December 31, 2004, Frankfort First had total assets of $132.3 million, deposits of $72.0 million and total capital of $17.2 million. Based on this information, Kentucky First on a consolidated basis will operate from four banking offices and will represent the second largest thrift holding company in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This news release contains certain forward-looking statements about the mutual holding company reorganization, the stock issuance by Kentucky First and the acquisition of Frankfort First by Kentucky First, including the anticipated trading date of Kentucky First's common stock. 3 Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words like "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate" and "intend" or future or conditional verbs such as "will", "would", "should", "could" or "may." Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include delays in completing the offering and the merger, changes in the interest rate environment, changes in general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes that adversely affect the business of Kentucky First and changes in the securities markets.

EX-99.1 3 exhibit991pressrelease4220.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit Exhibit 99.1 April 2, 2018 6:26 am PDT ASGN Incorporated Closes Acquisition of ECS Federal, LLC Acquisition Expected to be Accretive to Adjusted EPS On Assignment officially changes name to ASGN Incorporated CALABASAS, Calif., April 2, 2018 -- ASGN Incorporated (NYSE: ASGN), one of the foremost providers of IT and professional services in the technology, creative/digital, engineering, life sciences and government sectors, announced today the completion of its acquisition of ECS Federal, LLC (ECS) for a total cash consideration of $775 million. ECS will continue to operate under the ECS brand name and will also operate as a separate segment of ASGN. The President of ECS, George Wilson, and the current ECS leadership team will continue to execute the strategy and oversee the day-to-day operations of the business. "We're excited by the combination of ASGN and ECS", said Peter Dameris, CEO of ASGN. The addition of ECS' government services solutions to our business portfolio will complement and elevate our statement of work offerings and provide us access to the $130 billion federal IT services market. As we look ahead, our mission as an organization is to be the premier provider of highly skilled human capital that will drive the economy into the next generation". In connection with the acquisition and to fund the purchase consideration, ASGN amended its existing credit facility. The amended credit facility consists of (i) a $200.0 million five-year revolving credit facility (undrawn at close) which bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25 to 2.25 percent, based on ASGN's applicable leverage ratio, and (ii) term B loans totaling $1.4 billion (all of which is outstanding at closing), consisting of two tranches: (a) a $578.0 million tranche maturing on June 5, 2022, and (b) an $822.0 million tranche maturing on April 2, 2025. The term B loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0 percent. At closing, the company's leverage ratio (ratio of debt to trailing 12-month pro forma Adjusted EBITDA) was approximately 3.67 to 1. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, served as the administrative agent for the amendment to the credit facility. For income tax reporting purposes, the acquisition was treated as an asset purchase, resulting in a step up in the tax basis in the intangibles assets acquired. This "step-up" in tax basis is expected to result in an annual cash income tax savings of approximately $12 million ($9 million of which relates to amortization of goodwill and trademarks) over the next 15 years from the amortization of these assets for income tax purposes. In connection with the closing, ASGN granted restricted stock unit awards to 54 ECS employees covering approximately 162,000 shares. Of these, George Wilson and another employee were each granted an award as described below. If applicable performance targets are met and subject to continued service to the company, the grants will vest as follows: (a) for 60 percent of the award, one-half on the second anniversary of the grant date, and 25 percent on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, and (b) for the remaining 40 percent of the award, in equal installments on the first, second, and third annual anniversaries of the grant date. The awards granted to the other ECS employees will vest, subject to the employee's continued service, (x) as to 40 percent of the award, over four years with 50 percent of each award vesting on the second anniversary of the closing and 25 percent of such portion vesting on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, and (y) as to 60 percent of the award, in 12 substantially equal installments on each quarterly anniversary of April 1, 2019, and further subject to ECS' achievement of a 2018 performance target. The restricted stock unit awards were granted to the ECS employees as employment inducement awards pursuant to New York Stock Exchange rules. Concurrent with the acquisition, On Assignment changed its name to ASGN Incorporated to better reflect the combined company's business.

EX-99.1 2 exhibit.htm Global Self Storage Completes Acquisition of Tuxis Self Storage Facilities in Clinton, Connecticut and Millbrook, New York New York, NY - January 3, 2017 - Global Self Storage, Inc. (NASDAQ: SELF), a real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates self storage facilities, has completed the acquisition of two self storage facilities and a commercial property from Tuxis Corporation (OTC PINK: TUXS) for $6.9 million, which includes $5.925 million in cash and approximately $975,000 of Global Self Storage common stock. Tuxis is a self storage and real estate development company as well as a Global Self Storage affiliate. The acquired properties, which opened under Global Self Storage management on January, 3, 2017, include a 185 unit, 31,000 square foot mixed traditional indoor, outdoor, and climate-controlled self storage facility located in Clinton, Connecticut, a 142 unit, 15,000 square foot all climate-controlled self storage facility located in Millbrook, New York, and an adjoining 1,875 square foot Millbrook commercial property. Permits to re-develop and expand the Millbrook facility have been submitted to the local planning and zoning boards. Upon re-development and expansion approval and satisfaction of other conditions, including construction groundbreaking, the company is expected to make an additional $900,000 cash payment to Tuxis. "The addition of these stores is expected to have an immediate accretive impact on our property revenues, net operating income and funds from operations", said president and chief executive officer of Global Self Storage Mark C. Winmill. "The expansion opportunity at the Millbrook property has the potential to further increase the store's revenues and net operating income". "The acquisition of these two stores marks our third and fourth in the past five months, and brings the total number of stores in our portfolio to 11. We continue to evaluate our existing stores for expansion potential and pursue acquisition opportunities in secondary and tertiary cities where we believe new development activity may be less concentrated compared to primary markets and urban centers".

EX-99.1 2 exhibit1.htm EX-99.1 EX-99.1 News Release For Immediate Release For Further Information, Contact: January 5, 2007 George Lancaster, Hines 713/966-7676 George_lancaster@hines.com HINES ACQUIRES NINE OFFICE BUILDINGS IN REDMOND, WA (SEATTLE, WA) - Hines, the international real estate firm, announced today that Hines Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. (Hines REIT) has acquired the Daytona and Laguna office complexes - nine buildings containing approximately 715,000 square feet, in Redmond, WA. The adjacent complexes are located along the Highway 520 Corridor east of Seattle, and were sold by Hart Properties NW, LLC. The Seattle office of CBRE, under the leadership of Tim O'Keefe and Steven Hermann , represented the seller in the transaction. Hines Senior Vice President Colin Shepherd, together with the leaders of Hines' Seattle office, Project Manager Ty Bennion and Asset Manager Randy Dixon, represented Hines REIT. The complexes are 100 percent leased to tenants including Microsoft Corporation, which occupies 40 percent of the project, and Honeywell Industrial, Inc., which occupies 54 percent. Hines will lease and manage the properties on behalf of Hines REIT. The Daytona complex (approximately 251,000 square feet), which was acquired on December 20, 2006, is comprised of three office buildings: Daytona , located at 14999 NE 31 st Way, is a four-story, 211,731-square-foot, Class A building which was completed in 2002. The building, which is 100 percent leased to Microsoft, contains a three-level, below grade parking garage. Daytona A , located at 14802-14826 NE 31 st Circle, is a multi-tenant, single-story, 21,828-square-foot office building. Daytona B , located at 14828-14854 NE 31 st Circle, is a multi-tenant, single-story, 16,956-square-foot office building. The Daytona A and B buildings were constructed in 1978, were renovated in 2002, and are fully leased to various smaller tenants. The Laguna complex (approximately 465,000 square feet), which was acquired on January 3, 2007, is comprised of six office buildings. Laguna North , located 15011 NE 36 th Street, is a three-story, 104,353-square-foot, Class A office building constructed in 1998. It is 100 percent leased to Microsoft. Laguna South , located 14980 NE 31 st Way, is a three-story, 104,443-square-foot, Class A office building constructed in 1999. It is 100 percent leased to Honeywell. Honeywell Buildings 1-4 , located at 15001 NE 36 th Street, are single-story, 255,905-square-foot flex/office/light manufacturing facilities that were built in the 1960s. They are 100 percent leased to Honeywell. The Daytona and Laguna buildings were designed by Mulvanny G2 Architects. "We believe that the acquisition of the Daytona and Laguna complexes will further enhance the Hines REIT portfolio with the buildings' quality, long-term tenancy, its Class A space which is well suited for the tenant base, and its superior accessibility", said Charles Hazen, president of Hines REIT. "We have been looking for another opportunity to invest in Redmond ever since selling our successful Cedar Court development in 2002", Shepherd said. "Tim O'Keefe was also the Hart's broker on the sale of the adjacent Cedar Court site to us in 1997 and will continue to represent us on leasing at the property as he did on Cedar Court". Bennion added, "We think that Seattle's Eastside suburban market is one of the strongest markets in the country, and the properties' ideal central location on Redmond's highly visible main transportation artery made this acquisition extremely attractive Hines REIT and us".

EX-99.1 5 v039932_ex99-1.htm EX 99.1 EXHIBIT 99.1 Investor Relations 4/2/2006 Measurement Specialties Enters High-Precision Temperature Market with Acquisitions of BetaTHERM Sensors and YSI Temperature Frank Guidone, CEO - 973 808-3020 Aimee Boutcher - 973 239-2878 Hampton, Virginia, April 3, 2006 - Measurement Specialties, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEAS), a designer and manufacturer of sensors and sensor-based systems, announced today it has entered into agreements to acquire two companies in the field of high-precision temperature sensing for an aggregate purchase price of $52 million. To finance the transactions, the Company expanded its current credit facility with GE Commercial Finance, JP Morgan Chase Bank and Wachovia Bank, from $35 million to $75 million. Measurement Specialties announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the capital stock of BetaTHERM Sensors, a temperature sensor company headquartered in Galway, Ireland, for $38 million ($35 million in cash at close, $2 million deferred payments and $1million in MEAS shares). Established in 1983, BetaTHERM designs and manufactures precision thermistors and custom probes used for temperature sensing in aerospace, biomedical, automotive, industrial and consumer goods applications. Measurement Specialties also announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the capital stock of YSI Temperature, a division of Yellow Springs, Ohio-based YSI Incorporated, which also manufactures thermistors and custom probes, for $14 million in cash. YSI Temperature is a leader in the high-precision temperature market, focusing on engineered solutions for medical/healthcare, aerospace and industrial applications. The combined acquisitions will establish the basis of a newly formed Temperature product line within MEAS. The group will focus on high-precision, application engineered solutions. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2006, the group will have combined annual proforma sales of approximately $36 million, and will generate approximately $7.5 million in proforma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The Company anticipates closing both transactions on or before Tuesday. "I am extremely pleased to announce the acquisitions of BetaTherm and YSI Temperature", commented Frank Guidone, Company CEO. "Temperature sensing is the most commonly measured physical characteristic, and has been a gap in our portfolio. The combined strength of BetaTHERM and YSI Temperature will make MEAS a formidable player in the high-precision market. Strong synergies between both companies, as well as with MEAS, make this a very strategic addition. Both companies are financial stable, and we anticipate the new product line to be immediately accretive to earnings". Terence Monaghan, BetaTHERM CEO added, "The BetaTHERM team is delighted to be joining MEAS. The strength of its position in the sensor industry, coupled with its global resources, will significantly enhance BetaTHERM and our ability to set the standard in the customised, high-precision temperature marketplace". YSI Inc. President and CEO Rick Omlor stated, "After closely examining our portfolio and strategically reviewing key product lines, we recognized that what we do best is instrumentation, systems, and services. As such YSI's strongest growth opportunities are in the environmental business, where we have chosen to dedicate the necessary investments in new technology and acquisitions. Also we concluded that the interests of our temperature components group would be better served with a company like Measurement Specialties, which can grow and invest in this business".

EX-99.1 14 a04-10191_1ex99d1.htm EX-99.1 Exhibit 99.1 Weida Communications Completes Contractual Arrangements Giving It Effective Management Control and Majority Profit-Sharing Interest in Its Operating Partner in China FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Weida Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: WDAC.OB) said it completed a series of contractual arrangements resulting in its acquisition of effective management control and 51 percent profit-sharing interest in Guangzhou Weida Communications Co., Ltd. The transaction represents a significant step for Weida Communications in executing its business model as a shareholder-owned company that operates under American business practices and participates directly in the fast-growing Chinese telecommunications market. Under the terms of the transaction, Weida Communications acquired effective majority ownership and control of Guangzhou Weida Communications through a 51 percent profit-sharing interest held by a wholly owned Hong Kong entity and other contractual arrangements. Under the agreements Weida Communications can designate three of Guangzhou Weida's five directors. The completed arrangements mean that Weida brings together Chinese local market and telecommunications expertise and American financial, technological, and structural support. "This is a significant milestone for Weida Communications' strategy of delivering an attractive opportunity to investors to participate in the growth opportunities in China through an entity that complies with U.S. securities laws and functions under familiar financial and accounting practices", said Mitchell Sepaniak, Weida Communications' chairman and chief executive officer. As part of the transaction, Weida Communications will be issuing 16.3 million shares to the shareholders of Guangzhou Weida. Weida Communications also is committed to paying Guangzhou Weida shareholders $15 million 12 months from the time of the just-completed transaction or when the companies complete formation of a Sino-foreign equity joint venture. The parties are seeking Peoples Republic of China regulatory approvals for the EJV, in which Weida Communications would hold a 25 percent ownership interest in addition to its profit-sharing interest. When the EJV takes effect, its profit-sharing interest will be reduced to 26 percent so as to maintain its effective 51 percent majority interest. Weida Communications and Guangzhou Weida have agreed that no cash payments will be made to Guangzhou Weida shareholders until the EJV is approved or for 12 months while the process is under way. Approval and formation of the equity joint venture is not required for Weida Communications to achieve its basic control and financial reporting objectives for the acquisition, which it meets through the 51 percent profit-sharing and contractual structure. Weida Communications, Inc. is a U.S.-managed company which participates in the fast-growing China telecommunications market through its majority profit- sharing interest in and control of one of only two companies in China holding licenses for bi-directional VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) satellite communications services, an attractive telecommunications solution in China with its exploding demand for telecommunications, dense urban areas, and extensive mountainous terrain. Weida's satellite operations in China provide ground-based equipment and related services to support government and corporate applications, including broadband Internet access, remote meter monitoring, and mission-critical data backup systems.

Tecogen's natural gas powered cogeneration systems (also known as combined heat and power or "CHP") are efficient because they drive electric generators or compressors, which reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the utility while recovering the engine's waste heat for water heating, space heating, and/or air conditioning at the customer's building. Tecogen manufactures three types of CHP products: Cogeneration units that supply electricity and hot water including the InVerde® 100, InVerde e+®, CM-75 and CM-60; Chillers that provide air-conditioning and hot water marketed under the TECOCHILL® brand name; and Ilios® branded high-efficiency water heaters. Tecogen's CHP products are sold directly to customers by our in-house marketing team, and by established sales agents and representatives, including ADGE. About American DG Energy ADGE installs, owns, operates and maintains complete distributed generation, or DG systems or energy systems, and other complementary systems at customer sites and sell electricity, hot water, heat and cooling energy under long-term contracts at prices guaranteed to the customer to be below conventional utility rates. As of December 31, 2016, ADGE had 92 installed energy systems, representing an aggregate of approximately 5,445 kilowatts, or kW, 41.6 million British thermal units, or MMBtu's, of heat and hot water and 4,500 tons of cooling. kW is a measure of electricity generated, MMBtu is a measure of heat generated and a ton is a measure of cooling generated.

EX-99.1 5 vggl_ex991.htm PRESS RELEASE vggl_ex991.htm Exhibit 99.1 For Immediate Release: VIGGLE ACQUIRES WETPAINT Acquisition creates integrated network of TV fans across mobile, web and social media, including 12 million Wetpaint monthly unique users and more than 3.5 million Viggle registered users NEW YORK - December 16, 2013 - Viggle (OTCQB: VGGL), the free mobile app that rewards entertainment loyalists for watching TV and listening to music, announced today that it has acquired Wetpaint , a leading entertainment media and technology company focused on television fans, for approximately $30 million in cash and stock. Wetpaint has become a leading destination for TV viewers, and provides original content to over 12 million monthly unique users. Wetpaint provides a way for fans to stay connected with the stars and programs they love 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition to its 12 million monthly unique users, Wetpaint boasts more than 90 million page views a month and combined social reach of over 7 million Facebook likes and followers on Twitter. It is a major source for deep, independent coverage of top TV shows, stars, entertainment news and fashion, producing premium content - more than 150 new articles, videos and galleries per day. While Wetpaint will continue to offer its unique insight and access to its loyal fans, the two companies will begin to share content and benefits immediately. In the coming months Wetpaint users will gain access to Viggle's rewards program, and Vigglers will see more and more unique and exclusive content focused on TV, TV stars, and fans of TV. "Wetpaint is the perfect complement to our business for users, TV network partners and advertisers", said Greg Consiglio, President and COO of Viggle. "This combined company brings together Viggle's proven promotion, entertainment rewards and monetization capabilities with Wetpaint's reach, social distribution technologies and best-in-class content. Wetpaint leverages the power of social media to ensure TV fans are getting the latest news and commentary about the shows they love, and now we are expanding that to include real-time updates before, during and after the show airs". Ben Elowitz, CEO of Wetpaint commented, "We are thrilled to join our loyal users with Viggle's avid fans, providing both with the continued opportunity to gain rewards by engaging in their passion - entertainment -- while also giving marketers a more integrated, dynamic platform". For marketers, this acquisition creates significant opportunities to reach a passionate audience with targeted messages across an "always on" entertainment experience that now includes multiple touch points and platforms. Marketers already benefit from Viggle's extensive reward program, as well as in app advertising and that will now be extended through Wetpaint's online content and social media streams. Viggle and Wetpaint provide unprecedented access to devoted TV viewers. With 316 million confirmed check-ins since launch last year, and an average of 66 minutes per session, Viggle's more than 3.5 million registered users already provide a unique and highly targeted way for brands and networks to amplify their message or content. Viggle can reward users for checking into programming on nearly 200 networks, and dozens of brands are actively using Viggle to complement their TV ads. Wetpaint's 90 million page views a month focused on the same content provides a way for brands and networks to access those viewers all day, every day. Viggle and Wetpaint will share more details on the integration and the roll out of joint features, including music features, in the coming weeks. About Viggle Launched in January 2012, Viggle is a free entertainment rewards platform whose app rewards its members for watching their favorite TV shows or discovering new music. Viggle enhances TV with interactive games like Viggle LIVE and the first ever real-time fantasy sports game, MYGUY.

EX-99.1 2 v374081_ex99-1.htm EXHIBIT 99.1 Exhibit 99.1 AMRI Completes Acquisition of Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Albany, NY (April 4, 2014) - AMRI (NASDAQ: AMRI) today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Cedarburg, whose capabilities both augment and complement those of AMRI, is a contract developer and manufacturer of technically complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (API's) for both generic and branded customers. The transaction is consistent with AMRI's strategy to be the preeminent supplier of custom and complex drug development services and product to both the branded and generic pharmaceutical industry. Customers will benefit from access to a greater breadth of resources, including development of complex API, expanded scale-up capabilities and large scale manufacturing in lower cost environments. Total consideration paid was $41 million, including assumption of certain liabilities. AMRI financed the transaction with cash on hand. The acquisition is expected to add between $13 and $14 million to AMRI's revenue in 2014. AMRI anticipates full year run-rate synergies of approximately $1.5 million of EBITDA within 12 months of closing and the acquisition is expected to be accretive to AMRI's 2014 adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $0.06 to $0.07 per share. Items excluded from non-GAAP financial results are expected to include all transaction-related costs, including amortization of intangible assets. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS, which are adjusted to exclude, among other things, the impact of interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and income tax expense or benefit. We exclude these items from the non-GAAP financial measures because they are outside our normal operations. There are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures, as they are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different than non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In particular, we believe that the inclusion of supplementary non-GAAP financial measures in this press release helps investors to gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating results and future prospects without the effect of these often-one-time charges, and is consistent with how management measures and forecasts the Company's performance, especially when comparing such results to prior periods or forecasts. Non-GAAP results also allow investors to compare the Company's operations against the financial results of other companies in the industry who similarly provide non-GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Cedarburg's contribution to AMRI's adjusted diluted EPS is only provided on a non-GAAP basis. It is not feasible to provide reconciliation to the most comparable projected U.S. GAAP measure because the excluded items are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events.

Forward-looking Statements This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the acquisition of Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Cedarburg's projected contribution to AMRI's adjusted diluted EPS, the potential synergies associated with the transaction, the potential impact on AMRI's operations and financial results, statements regarding the strength of the company's business and prospects, statements regarding the actions taken to reduce cost and improve operating performance, and statements concerning the company's momentum and long-term growth, including expected results for 2014 and possible investment opportunities. Readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. The company's actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, some of which the company may not be able to predict and may not be within the company's control. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to effectively integrate Cedarburg's business; possible negative impacts to the revenue expected to be received by Cedarburg following the closing of the transaction; trends in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies' outsourcing of chemical research and development, including softness in these markets; sales of Allegra® and the impact of the "at-risk" launch of generic Allegra®, the OTC conversion of Allegra® and the generic and OTC sales of Allegra in Japan on the company's receipt of significant royalties under the Allegra® license agreement; the success of the sales of other products for which the company receives royalties; the risk that the company will not be able to replicate either in the short or long term the revenue stream that has been derived from the royalties payable under the Allegra® license agreements; the risk that clients may terminate or reduce demand under any strategic or multi-year deal; the company's ability to enforce its intellectual property and technology rights; the company's ability to obtain financing sufficient to meet its business; the company's ability to successfully comply with heightened FDA scrutiny on aseptic fill/finish operations; the results of further FDA inspections; the company's ability to effectively maintain compliance with applicable FDA and DEA regulations; the company's ability to integrate past or future acquisitions and make such acquisitions accretive to the company's business model; the company's ability to take advantage of proprietary technology and expand the scientific tools available to it; the ability of the company's strategic investments and acquisitions to perform as expected, as well as those risks discussed in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2014, and the company's other SEC filings. Potential increases in AMRI's adjusted diluted EPS, potential synergies available following closing of the pending transaction and other forward looking information offered by senior management today represent a point-in-time estimate and are based on information as of the date of this press release. Senior management has made numerous assumptions in providing this guidance which, while believed to be reasonable, may not prove to be accurate. Numerous factors, including those noted above, may cause actual results to differ materially from the guidance provided. The company expressly disclaims any current intention or obligation to update the guidance provided or any other forward-looking statement in this press release to reflect future events or changes in facts assumed for purposes of providing this guidance or otherwise affecting the forward-looking statements contained in this press release.
