NHI Completes $37 Million Acquisition and Settlement Resolution
-Closes $21 Million Sale to Major Customer-
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - (September 3, 2013) National Health Investors (NYSE: NHI) announced today the acquisition of eight skilled nursing facilities, the resolution of a settlement agreement and the sale of six skilled nursing facilities.
On August 30, 2013, NHI completed an acquisition of eight skilled nursing facilities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire from ElderTrust of Florida, Inc. for consideration consisting of $23.3 million in cash and the cancellation of notes receivable from ElderTrust with a principal balance of $13.7 million. Beginning September 1, 2013, the facilities will be under a new triple-net lease to the current manager, National Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: NHC), for an initial period of 15 years at a lease amount of $350,000 for the remainder of 2013; beginning in 2014, a base lease amount of $3.4 million; and, beginning in 2015, the base lease amount plus an annual rent escalator calculated as 4% of the increase in each facility's revenue over a 2014 base year.
Additionally, NHI previously agreed to full settlement of its notes receivable from SeniorTrust of Florida, Inc., for $15 million in cash, received by NHI on June 27, 2013.
As a result of the foregoing, NHI has now completed the settlement agreement involving ElderTrust and SeniorTrust and believes it resolved, in full, the previously disclosed investigation by the Office of the Tennessee Attorney General, as well as the lawsuits regarding the two nonprofit corporations which are to be dismissed pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
As previously disclosed, NHI entered into an agreement with existing tenant NHC to sell six skilled nursing facilities for $21 million in cash. The sale closed on August 29, 2013. Further, NHI and NHC previously agreed to extend the master lease of 32 skilled nursing facilities and three independent living facilities to NHC through December 2026.

it has completed the acquisition of J & L America, Inc. DBA as J &
L Industrial Supply (J & L), a subsidiary of Kennametal Inc.

was drawn in entirety to provide the funding for the acquisition; and a $75
million revolver, which will be used for working capital purposes. As
previously announced, the acquisition is not expected to have a material impact
on MSC's fiscal 2006 results, and is expected to be neutral to the Company's

end of fiscal 2007. The acquisition is expected to be highly accretive to MSC's
results in fiscal 2008 and beyond as synergies are realized.

"The completion of the J & L acquisition provides great value to our
shareholders and represents an exciting new chapter for our Company, our
associates, our customers, our suppliers and our owners. The transaction not
only expands our presence in the marketplace, but also significantly enhances
our customer base, and broadens our product and service offerings. Working
together with J&L, we will be able to leverage our combined relationships
in the industry to capitalize on significant cross-selling opportunities, while
generating considerable cost savings. Overall, we are pleased that we have
finalized this process and are moving forward to integrate our businesses".
Headquartered in Southfield, Michigan with operations in the U.S. and
the United Kingdom, J & L is a leading national specialty metalcutting
and finishing distributor with fiscal year 2005 sales of $257.5 million (as
reported by Kennametal). J & L provides its base of over 74,000

EXHIBIT 99.1
Northern Power Systems Corp. Announces Disposition of Its US Service Business and Board Resignation
BARRE, Vt., April 30, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On April 30, 2019, Northern Power Systems Corp ("Northern" or the "Company") through its wholly owned subsidiary, Northern Power Systems, Inc. ("NPS"), executed an Asset Purchase Agreement with Erie Renewables, Inc. ("Erie") pursuant to which Erie acquired the assets relating to NPS's US Service Business. At closing, (i) Erie hired two (2) NPS employees and (ii) NPS received proceeds of approximately $230,000, subject to transactional off-sets of $123,709.35. In connection with this transaction, NPS made a payment to Comerica of $106,290.65 leaving an aggregate amount of $193,709.35 due and payable to Comerica by NPS under that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and between NPS and Comerica dated December 31, 2013 and as amended ("Loan"). The Company is a guarantor of NPS's obligations under the Loan.
In addition, on April 25, 2019, Richard Hokin, a member of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company provided the Board with a notice of his resignation from the Board, effective immediately. Following Mr. Hokin's resignation, the Company has a Board of Directors consisting of one person.
On February 7, 2019, NPS entered into the Second Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement by and between Comerica Bank and NPS, Inc. (the "Amended Forbearance Agreement"). On May 29, 2018, Comerica informed NPS that NPS was not currently in compliance with two covenants (collectively, the "Covenants") under that certain Loan. Ultimately, Comerica and NPS entered into (i) a Forbearance Agreement dated August 2, 2018 which the Company previously disclosed on a Form 8-K dated August 2, 2018 and an Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement dated November 30, 2018 which the Company previously disclosed on a Form 8-K dated December 4, 2018 (the "Forbearance Agreement). The Amended Forbearance Agreement amends and restates the Forbearance Agreement. As of April 1, 2019, NPS is in breach of its obligations under the Amended Forbearance Agreement and Comerica may immediately call the Loan. Further, Comerica has demanded NPS pay-off the Loan in its entirety as of April 30, 2019. NPS will be unable to fully discharge its obligations to Comerica under the Loan by April 30, 2019. However, in connection with the disposition of NPS's US Service Business described in above, NPS did make a payment to Comerica of $106,290.65 leaving an aggregate amount of $193,709.35 due and payable to Comerica by NPS under the Loan.
Continued and prolonged cash constraints, the on-going breach of the Amended Forbearance Agreement with Comerica, the current lack of accessible commercial loans or other financing, and the continued delay in the implementation of a new Feed in Tariff in Italy with respect to distributed wind have significantly strained the Company operationally, commercially and financially. Further, the Company continues to explore all strategic alternatives and transactions for Company, including the sale of the business or some or all of its assets and business lines including its distributed wind and Italian service business segments.
It is uncertain if the Company's efforts (i) to address its cash constraints and its legal difficulties with Comerica and/or (ii) to effect one or more strategic transactions will be successful. Even if the Company is successful in identifying and completing a strategic transaction, the likelihood of any economic return to the equity owners of the Company at this point is remote.

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

EZCORP ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC ACQUISITION OF 112 PAWN STORES IN LATIN AMERICA
AUSTIN, Texas, October 9, 2017 - EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ:EZPW), a leading provider of pawn loans in the United States and Mexico, today announced its further expansion into Latin America. The company has acquired GuatePrenda - MaxiEfectivo ("GPMX"), a business that owns and operates 112 pawn stores in Guatemala (72 stores), El Salvador (17 stores), Honduras (12 stores) and Peru (11 stores). With this acquisition, EZCORP now has a total of 871 pawn stores, including 513 in the U.S. and 358 in Latin America.
GPMX was founded in 2002 as a gold jewelry pawn business. After growing to around 20 stores in Guatemala, it expanded its operations to El Salvador in 2005 and opened its first stores in Honduras and Peru in 2009. In 2013, GPMX began offering general merchandise pawn loans in addition to jewelry loans. GPMX has almost 700 employees throughout the four countries.
Stuart Grimshaw, EZCORP Chief Executive Officer, stated: "The GPMX acquisition is our largest pawn acquisition to date in terms of store count. It significantly expands our store base into Latin American countries outside of Mexico and will be immediately accretive to our earnings. With a high-quality management team in place and the opportunity to implement EZCORP's systems and best practices, GPMX provides a platform for significant further growth in the region.
"The existing GPMX business is very attractive itself, with an average per store pawn loan balance higher than our existing stores in Mexico or the Latin American stores of our major competitor. And we see opportunities to grow the business through the expansion of general merchandise pawn loan and retail activities, the opening of new stores in attractive and under-penetrated markets, and the pursuit of complementary acquisitions.
"We have been very pleased with the market leading growth we are delivering in Mexico, and we expect this acquisition to provide similar opportunities for further growth and earnings accretion in some very attractive markets".
EZCORP paid $53.4 million in cash at closing, with an additional $2.25 million to be paid contingent upon the performance of the business. At the time of acquisition, GPMX had $6.6 million of indebtedness owed to affiliates of the seller, and that debt will be repaid as promptly as practicable after the closing. The definitive acquisition agreement was entered into on October 4, 2017, and the closing occurred on October 6, 2017.
Additional information about the terms of the transaction can be found in EZCORP's Current Report on Form 8-K, which the company expects to file on October 10, 2017.
CONFERENCE CALL
EZCORP will host a conference call on Monday, October 9, 2017, at 7:30am Central Time to discuss the acquisition of GPMX announced today and the restructured notes receivable repayment arrangement with AlphaCredit announced on October 3, 2017. Analysts and institutional investors may participate on the conference call by dialing (833) 231-8256, Conference ID: 96254134, international dialing (647) 689-4550.

manage social networking websites around Dolphin's core brands of popular
television programs for children, including Nickelodeon's top-rated series Zoey
101, Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, and the mystery movie franchise
Roxy Hunter, among many others. Earlier this year, Dolphin Digital became the
exclusive ten-year licensee of Dolphin Entertainment's worldwide digital rights
to its current and future properties.
Under the terms of the acquisition, Logica exchanged 24,063,735 shares of Common
Stock, equal to 51% of its fully diluted issued and outstanding Common Stock, in
exchange for the entire issued share capital of Dolphin Digital. Based on the
trailing five-day average closing price of Logica Common Stock prior to the
closing, this had an approximate market value of $20.2 million.
'Our merger with Logica will help us deliver the highest standards of online
safety for children and tweens around our properties and eventually other
destinations', said Bill O'Dowd, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Dolphin Digital and Dolphin Entertainment (Dolphin). 'With Logica's proprietary
state-of-the-art biometric security platform behind our highly popular brand
content, we are confident that we can create a safe and desirable online
environment for young audiences.'
"We are excited to be working with Dolphin Digital Media", said Pino
Baldassarre, Chief Executive Officer of Logica. 'We are committed to creating a
secure and protected online environment for young people where users must be
authenticated before entering our websites, enabling our children to experience
the Internet in a safe and secure environment.'
Dolphin Entertainment controls the international distribution of its
programming, with its roster of highly successful programs available in more
than 100 countries and 300 million homes worldwide. 'Zoey 101', in particular,
has been a major hit since its premiere on Nickelodeon in January, 2005, having
been nominated for an Emmy(TM) Award for Outstanding Children's Program that
same year. 'Zoey 101' and other shows produced by Dolphin have achieved several
ratings records in the United States and Canada, and have performed
exceptionally well overseas. Many of Dolphin's international broadcast partners
have created the most successful online campaigns in their history utilizing
Dolphin properties.
At the heart of Logica's high-tech security platform are the solutions of its
technology partners: Novell Corporation, Rackspace, Fujitsu, and 123ID, all
integrated through an exclusive worldwide license with Weblock International.
Working with its technology partners, Logica is able to offer a proprietary
platform of identity management and database solutions.

Zomedica Acquires PulseVet
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zomedica Corp. (NYSE American: ZOM) ("Zomedica" or the "Company"), a veterinary health company creating point-of-care diagnostic and therapeutic products for companion animals, today announced that it had acquired the Pulse Veterinary Technologies businesses for $70.9 million in an all-cash, stock transaction.
Pulse Veterinary Technologies ("PulseVet") is a world leader in electro-hydraulic shock wave technology for the treatment of a wide variety of conditions in veterinary patients. The high-energy sound waves stimulate cells and release healing growth factors in the body that reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and accelerate bone and soft tissue development. PulseVet's technology is used in conditions including tendon and ligament healing, bone healing, osteoarthritis, chronic pain, and wound healing.
The PulseVet business employs a razor-razorblade economic model in which a customer buys a shock wave generator as capital equipment, along with replaceable therapy hand pieces called "Trodes." Each Trode has an expected life of forty to fifty therapy sessions. Once a Trode completes its useful life, the customer replaces it with a refurbished Trode.
PulseVet is currently the market leader in the equine space with 1,500 systems actively in use globally. It recently launched a new handpiece, the X-Trode, which has an energy output intended for maximum efficacy while no longer requiring patient sedation.
Robert Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Zomedica, commented, "As previously indicated following our fundraising efforts and the establishment of a business development capability, it has been our goal to complement our TRUFORMA
®
product platform, and to accelerate the growth of Zomedica overall, by strategically investing to expand our product offerings, technologies, and product development efforts. This selective process, focused on expanding Zomedica's capability to be a valued partner to the veterinary clinic by bringing novel and valuable offerings that enhance both animal and veterinary practice health, has led us to PulseVet".
"During our extensive due diligence process, we consistently were impressed by both the strength of the PulseVet team led by Adrian Lock and the solid business that they have built. We believe that this acquisition will enable us to enhance both of our organizations by what we learn from each other and add to the combined effort. Among other things, we expect that our existing sales organization will add PulseVet's small animal products to its product portfolio to help accelerate the growth of the X-Trode. On behalf of everyone at Zomedica, I would like to extend a hearty welcome to the entire PulseVet team".
PulseVet CEO, Adrian Lock, added, "We are extremely pleased to be joining the Zomedica team and particularly excited to continue building on the early momentum of our new X-Trode handpiece to accelerate the utilization of shock wave therapy in the companion animal market".
Stifel acted as exclusive financial advisor and Maslon LLP acted as legal advisor to Zomedica in this transaction.
About Zomedica
Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Zomedica (NYSE American: ZOM) is a veterinary health company creating products for companion animals by focusing on the unmet needs of clinical veterinarians. Zomedica's product portfolio will include innovative diagnostics and medical devices that emphasize patient health and practice health. It is Zomedica's mission to provide veterinarians the opportunity to increase productivity and grow revenue while better serving the animals in their care.
