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

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

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

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

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

mPhase Technologies

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

Indiana. Allegheny Energy and its Monongahela Power Company subsidiary own a 3.5 percent
equity interest and power rights in OVEC, which are not included in the Buckeye
transaction.

Beavers, CEO of Sollensys Corp.

ABOUT
SOLLENSYS CORP.
Sollensys
Corp. is a U.S. based, public company specializing in data
management and preparation. The Sollensys Corp. team is comprised
of academics, PhDs and industry experts with decades of data
security management experience. Sollensys Corp. manufactures the

backup of data. In this innovative product, redundant backups and
block chains work together to assure not only the physical security
of the database but also the integrity of the information held
within. Uniquely, the Blockchain Archive ServerTM works with the
client's existing equipment without the need to replace or
eliminate any part of the client's data security already in place.

to become a leader in commercial blockchain applications due to its
technology's low cost and short time to implement, which is far
less than existing solutions.

USA Compression Partners and Energy Transfer Complete
Previously Announced Transactions
Austin and Dallas, Texas, April 2, 2018 - USA Compression Partners, LP (NYSE: USAC) ("USAC"), Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ETP) ("ETP") and Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (NYSE: ETE) ("ETE") today announced that USAC has (i) completed its previously announced acquisition of the CDM compression business ("CDM") from ETP, in exchange for $1.232 billion in cash (including customary closing adjustments), approximately 19.2 million USAC common units and approximately 6.4 million USAC Class B units, and (ii) cancelled its incentive distribution rights and converted its economic general partner interest into a non-economic general partner interest, in exchange for the issuance to its general partner of 8.0 million USAC common units. The USAC Class B units issued to ETP will not pay quarterly cash distributions for the first four quarters following closing and will convert into USAC common units on a one-for-one basis after such time. USAC funded the cash consideration for the transaction with proceeds from the issuance in private placements of preferred units and senior notes, and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.
In addition to the above transactions, ETE completed its acquisition of USAC's general partner and approximately 12.5 million USAC common units from USA Compression Holdings, LLC in exchange for $250 million in cash.
CDM currently owns and operates approximately 1.6 million horsepower of natural gas compression and is focused primarily on large horsepower applications. The acquisition of CDM is expected to provide significant benefits for USAC unitholders as the combined business will have increased geographic coverage and will be one of the leading domestic compression providers. The acquisition further expands USAC's geographic presence into regions where USAC was previously underrepresented and results in USAC having broad coverage across U.S. regions. As part of its overall service offerings, CDM also provides a full range of gas treating and emissions testing services. CDM's treating activities are complementary to USAC's growing station services offerings, in which USAC provides turnkey gas handling solutions for customers. With over 70% of horsepower greater than 1,000 horsepower and an average unit size of approximately 700 horsepower, the CDM fleet has an average age of approximately 7 years and a current operating utilization rate of over 90%. On a pro forma combined basis, USAC owns and operates a compression fleet of approximately 3.4 million horsepower.
The transaction is expected to strengthen ETP's balance sheet by allowing ETP to use the cash proceeds from the transactions to reduce leverage.
ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIPS
USA Compression Partners, LP (NYSE: USAC) is a growth-oriented Delaware limited partnership that is one of the nation's largest independent providers of compression services in terms of total compression unit horsepower. USAC partners with a broad customer base composed of producers, processors, gatherers and transporters of natural gas. USAC focuses on providing compression services to infrastructure applications primarily in high volume gathering systems, processing facilities and transportation applications. More information is available at www.usacompression.com.
Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (NYSE: ETE) is a master limited partnership that owns the general partner and 100% of the incentive distribution rights (IDRs) of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ETP) and Sunoco LP (NYSE: SUN). ETE also owns Lake Charles LNG Company. On a consolidated basis, ETE's family of companies owns and operates a diverse portfolio of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil and refined products assets, as well as retail and wholesale motor fuel operations and LNG terminalling. For more information, visit the Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. website at www.energytransfer.com.
Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ETP) is a master limited partnership that owns and operates one of the largest and most diversified portfolios of energy assets in the United States.
