Standard Register Acquires WorkflowOne
DAYTON, Ohio (August 1, 2013) Standard Register (NYSE: SR) announced today that it has acquired WorkflowOne in a transaction valued at $218 million, financed by assuming $210 million of long-term debt and the issuance of warrants with an estimated value of $8 million. The transaction advances Standard Register
'
s revenue position, enhances its product and solutions portfolio, broadens its customer base, improves its cost structure and provides greater financial flexibility and stability.
Standard Register expects to achieve $1 billion in annual revenue and $40 million in annual savings when the integration of the two companies is complete. The acquisition is expected to deliver value creation benefits immediately from combined sales and operating capabilities and to improve 2013 EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). The Company will go to market under the Standard Register corporate umbrella and will rapidly integrate its operations. WorkflowOne will initially operate as a subsidiary of Standard Register. Joseph P. Morgan, Jr., president and chief executive officer of Standard Register, will lead the combined company. Timothy A. Tatman, former president and chief executive officer of WorkflowOne, will serve in an advisory capacity through the integration.
Both companies are headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, with software development, traditional and digital printing and distribution facilities throughout the U.S. and in Canada and Mexico. Standard Register serves many of the largest healthcare and commercial organizations with a portfolio of technology-enabled multi-channel communication and marketing solutions supported by a nationwide printing, kitting and distribution network. WorkflowOne provides printing, document management, distribution and marketing services to a large customer base. The combined company has 4,000 employees, including 920 in Dayton.
"
This strategic combination brings together two companies with highly complementary business and market presence to create a leading player in workflow, communications and analytics,
"
said Morgan.
"
The acquisition of WorkflowOne increases our customer base and incremental growth opportunities. It also provides new markets and capabilities in retail and promotional
products and cross-selling opportunities. And, importantly, we are acquiring a significant pool of talented people with expertise in our industry and markets.
"
"
Standard Register has a defined, demand-based strategy that embraces the changes taking place within the printing industry. By embracing the changes, we have been able to identify new technology-enabled solutions that are growing in the marketplace and build a strategic roadmap of investments that will position us for continued success. Standard Register and WorkflowOne have a combined heritage in printing, document management and communications that is enhanced through this acquisition. We have identified many synergies in this part of the business, including simplifying processes, leveraging engineering expertise, optimizing the supply chain and improving overall capacity utilization. The cash flow from this large manufacturing network will be a source for fueling future growth,
"
Morgan continued.
"
We have a keen understanding of the trends taking place in our combined key market segments of healthcare, financial services, manufacturing and retail, and are continuing to develop innovative solutions in marketing communications, customer communications, product marketing and labeling, patient identification and safety and patient information.
"
"
We have engaged AlixPartners to help us with integration planning and synergy alignment. They provided valuable counsel for our strategic restructuring and have a deep understanding of our company and markets,
"
Morgan said.
In addition to creating one of the largest printing and print management companies in North America, the combination:
·
Increases customer diversification and penetration in our strategic markets with more than 12,000 customers
·
Serves most of the nation
'
s largest bank holding companies and financial services companies
·
Creates a $300 million healthcare patient-centric communications business
·
Establishes Standard Register among the top 10 label manufacturers in North America, and
·
Adds a top 15 promotional products business
"
By joining forces with Standard Register, we will be able to provide our customers with deeper capabilities across a broader range of products and services than ever before,
"
said Tatman.
"
I am very excited about the future of our combined companies.
"
BofA Merrill Lynch served as financial advisor to Standard Register and Perella Weinberg Partners advised WorkflowOne.
Renewal and Expansion of Credit Facility
In conjunction with the transaction, Standard Register announced it has completed an early renewal and an expansion of its credit facility. The Company entered into a five-year $125 million senior-secured asset-based credit facility that provides additional liquidity and the ability
to capitalize on opportunities to grow the company. The new facility amends and extends the existing credit facility, which was due to mature on March 31, 2014. The facility is secured by the Company
'
s existing and future working capital assets. Proceeds will be used for financing working capital, expanding investment and for general corporate purposes of the newly combined company. Bank of America, N.A. is the Lead Arranger for the credit facility.
Conference Call
Standard Register
'
s President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph P. Morgan, Jr., and Chief Financial Officer Robert Ginnan will host a conference call at 10:00 a.m. EDT on August 1, 2013, to discuss the transaction benefits and second quarter 2013 performance.

CIBER ANNOUNCES INCREASED HOLDINGS IN NOVASOFT AG Public Offer Effective to over 93%
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.-November 24, 2004-CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR), a leading international IT consultancy, announced today
that it has acquired another 5,020,000 shares of Novasoft AG (FSE: NOVG) pursuant to open market purchases and from its formal offer to the public that began October 20, 2004 and that has now
concluded. Combining these purchases with the shares CIBER initially acquired and shares held in treasury by Novasoft, CIBER now owns or controls 18,262,000 of Novasoft's 19,528,000 shares
outstanding, or 93.5 percent.
"There
was clear support by the majority of Novasoft's minority shareholders to accept our offer. We will now proceed with routine procedures in Germany to reduce our ongoing costs of
Novasoft remaining a public German company and proceed towards acquiring the balance of its shares", said Mac Slingerlend, CIBER's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"We
are not extending the public offer that concluded last week to Novasoft's minority shareholders. Doing so would only be more expensive and, in our opinion, inappropriate. However,
public market purchases remain open to us as a way of getting liquidity to the remaining Novasoft shareholders and we will continue to acquire shares via this method", concluded Slingerlend.

PetroShare Corp. Establishes New $10 Million Line of Credit; Acquires Mineral Rights Underlying Active Drilling Program
CENTENNIAL, CO-(Marketwired - October 18, 2016) - PetroShare Corp.
(OTCQB:
PRHR
) announced that on October 13, 2016, it entered into a new revolving line of credit facility agreement with Providence Energy Partners III, LP, a Texas limited partnership and affiliate of Providence Energy Operators, LLC, the current lender under the Company's original line of credit. The new line of credit provides the Company with the ability to borrow up to $10 million for the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. All amounts borrowed under the line of credit are due and payable in full on April 13, 2017.
Additionally, on October 14, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of additional royalty interests in 10 Jacobucci pad horizontal wells located on its Todd Creek Farms prospect, which increases the Company's net revenue interest in each well by an average of approximately 1.15%. The Jacobucci wells, which are operated by a third-party operator, have been drilled and/or cased and are scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2017. The Company borrowed $1.55 million under the new line of credit to pay its share of the purchase price for the royalty interests and additional development costs.
Non-Operated Activity
Consistent with the Company's strategy to maintain a balance of operated and non-operated properties, the Company is participating as a non-operator in several other projects in the Wattenberg Field. These projects, which are currently either being drilled or are expected to commence completion activities by the end of 2016, include a 15% working interest in two extended-range lateral Niobrara wells, an 11% working interest in the first of ten anticipated standard-range Codell wells, and an average of a 17.6% working interest in up to 14 mid-range lateral wells (2.5 net wells to PetroShare's interest) on the aforementioned Jacobucci pad.
"The new line of credit with an affiliate of Providence, our strategic partner, lender, and major shareholder, demonstrates the strength and depth of our relationship with Providence", stated Stephen J. Foley, CEO of PetroShare. "We are excited about the additional flexibility the new line of credit provides us with to acquire attractive oil and
gas properties. Our recent acquisitions of additional leasehold acreage and net revenue interests in the Southern Core of the Wattenberg Field are part of our ongoing effort to improve our internal economics and expand our footprint in an area that we believe will provide value to all PetroShare stakeholders. The increased pace of non-operated activity in the Southern Core speaks to the quality of our acreage and the potential to generate economic rates of return at current commodity prices".
About PetroShare Corp.
PetroShare Corp. is a domestic oil and natural gas exploration and development company that targets capital deployment opportunities in established unconventional resource plays. Its current focus is in the Niobrara/Codell formations and adjacent oil and gas producing zones in the Rocky Mountain region with specific targets in the Wattenberg Field within the DJ Basin of northeast Colorado.

NUZEE EXPANDS BRAND PORTFOLIO WITH COMPLETED
ACQUISITION OF DRIPKIT
Acquisition Provides New Large-Size Single Serve
Coffee Format Capability
Plano, Texas (March 1, 2022)
-
NuZee, Inc.
(NASDAQ: NUZE), a leading co-packing company for single serve coffee formats, announced today that it has completed
its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Dripkit, Inc. ("Dripkit"). The acquisition broadens NuZee's product
portfolio and provides a new type of pour over to deliver a variety of single serve pour over coffee experiences to roasters and consumers.
Dripkit's customers are also anticipated to have access to new resources and capabilities, including NuZee's current single
serve pour over and eco-friendly tea bag style coffee brew bag formats.
Dripkit will now operate as a new Dripkit Coffee business division of NuZee,
which NuZee believes will permit it to scale operations, reach more consumers and accelerate growth. Dripkit offers a large-size single
serve pour over format that delivers what it believes to be a barista-quality coffee experience to coffee drinkers in the United States.
The brand has combined its focus on convenience and quality, as well as a goal of using first-rate, ethically sourced coffee beans, to
become a leader in the single serve coffee category.
Transaction Highlights:
●
Brand awareness: Dripkit is highly recognized in the single serve pour over coffee category based in Brooklyn, New York. The acquisition immediately provides NuZee with access to Dripkit's loyal customer base and is expected to heighten NuZee's brand profile.
●
Product portfolio leadership: The Dripkit pack sits on top of the cup and projects to command a premium price point in the market. Each Dripkit pack produces a 10oz cup, using 17g of coffee.
●
Shared purpose-driven values: Dripkit shares NuZee's commitment to sustainability by aiming for responsible and ethically sourced products that can enable mindful, responsible consumption for the consumers by brewing one cup at a time.
●
Leadership addition: Ilana Kruger, Dripkit's Founder and CEO, will join the NuZee team to facilitate a smooth integration and help to further grow the business.
"We couldn't be more thrilled to
welcome Dripkit to our brand portfolio. Ilana has done a great job building Dripkit into a brand loved by many coffee drinkers as well
as many coffee industry experts. We believe she has successfully cultivated a loyal and diverse customer base", said Masa Higashida,
President and CEO of NuZee. "This acquisition is expected to benefit both NuZee and Dripkit's customers, as well as our partners
giving all of us an opportunity to scale operations and grow together. We look forward to expanding this growth and broadening our capabilities
through our resources".
Serving as a private label and co-packer for
a variety of roasters, Dripkit's large-size pour over format will be an addition to NuZee's portfolio of innovative single
serve pour over and tea bag style coffee brew bags.
"NuZee's resources, capabilities,
and continued commitment to sustainability are exactly what the Dripkit brand needs to further catapult its growth and success,"
said Ilana Kruger, Founder and CEO of Dripkit. "Part of our process has always been to pack and seal our products by hand, as this
led to a standard that we knew would make us proud. However, after seeing NuZee's facilities and witnessing the team's attention
to detail and individual product care, we were immediately impressed with the overall quality and are excited to see our Dripkit brand
thrive amid this transition".
NuZee has acquired substantially all of the assets
and assumed certain specified liabilities of Dripkit for total consideration of approximately $860,000 in cash and stock. The signing
of the asset purchase agreement was previously disclosed on February 22, 2022.

Solar
Thin Films, Inc. Acquires Equity Interest
in
CG
Solar
Of China
DIX
HILLS, NY, April 3, 2008 (MARKET WIRE) -- Solar Thin Films, Inc. (OTCBB: SLTN)
today announced that it has acquired a 15% equity interest in China based CG
Solar (previously Weihai BlueStar Photovoltaic Co. Ltd.) in exchange for
$1,500,000. As noted in Solar Thin Film's 8-K filing on 2/25/08, the acquisition
was completed through two separate transactions.
On
January 31, 2007, Solar Thin Films, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement of Joint Venture Contract with Renewable
Energy Solutions, Inc. ("RESI"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to
transfer the sum of $500,000 on behalf of RESI to CG Solar in exchange for
a 5%
equity interest in CG Solar.
On
January 31, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement for the Plan and Sale
of
Equity Interest with Terra Solar, pursuant to which the Company agreed to
transfer the sum of $1,000,000 to Terra Solar in exchange for the acquisition
of
a 10% equity interest in CG Solar.
The
completion of both transactions has received all requisite approvals, including
approval by the board of directors of China Solar Energy Holdings Limited,
the
parent company of Terra Solar.
The
transactions, and acquisition of 15% of CG Solar, are consistent with the
Company's strategy to take an equity interest, and purchase or marketing rights,
in the operations of "turnkey" module manufacturing customers. Earlier the
Company announced that it had entered into a marketing agreement with CG Solar
providing certain rights to market their modules in North America and Europe.
About
Solar Thin Films

Personnel associated with the company have been responsible for the setup of
14
thin-film photovoltaic factories worldwide. The Company sells equipment and
turnkey systems to customers including EPV Solar (Hamilton, NJ, USA) and CG
Solar (Weihai, China). Management believes that its line of cost-effective
thin-film photovoltaic manufacturing equipment positions the Company to take
advantage of the rapidly growing demand for solar modules and an expected market
shift towards "thin film" PV modules as part of a cost effective, "clean
technology" energy solution.
