ForeScout Acquires SecurityMatters
.
Accelerates ForeScout's momentum by enabling the industry's first, and only, end-to-end agentless device visibility and control platform across the extended enterprise
.
Provides deeper visibility into operational technology networks to help organizations mitigate threats targeting industrial environments
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 8, 2018 - ForeScout Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSCT), a leading Internet of Things (IoT) security company, today announced it has acquired SecurityMatters, a global leader in operational technology (OT) network protection, for approximately $113 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments. The acquisition will bolster ForeScout's global leadership position in agentless device visibility and control across the extended enterprise with expanded capabilities and advanced features to secure OT and industrial environments.
"ForeScout's acquisition of SecurityMatters is a natural fit as it takes us deeper into a market where we have an established foothold and are seeing explosive customer demand", said Michael DeCesare, CEO and president, ForeScout Technologies. "SecurityMatters' technology and talent will accelerate our success in securing OT, expand our total addressable market and reinforce our solution as the industry's only, end-to-end agentless device visibility and control platform".
The convergence of IT and OT is driving a rapid rise of interconnectivity and introducing new risks for enterprises as OT networks may no longer be physically segregated from the IT network. Recent cyberattacks, such as WannaCry, NotPetya and Triton, demonstrated how vulnerable OT networks can result in significant business disruption and financial loss. According to Forrester research, 79 percent of organizations with a SCADA/ICS network have suffered a breach in the past 24 months.
"Virtually every company with OT needs to rethink its cybersecurity strategy", said Damiano Bolzoni, founder and CEO, SecurityMatters. "After partnering with ForeScout for the last year, it became clear that we shared the same vision. Now as a single company, we will be able to accelerate our momentum and create the industry's first capability to truly segment IT and OT environments".
Founded in 2009, SecurityMatters provides organizations with device visibility, continuous network monitoring, and threat and anomaly detection specific to operational technology and industrial environments using passive collection techniques that don't impact operations. Its solution protects networks from the widest range of threats utilizing patented technology and with a library of over 1600 ICS-specific threat indicators.
ForeScout's acquisition of SecurityMatters will enable its vision to:
.
Provide deeper visibility into OT and ICS environments. SecurityMatters' passive network monitoring and protocol analysis combined with ForeScout's leading visibility platform will enable device discovery, classification and assessment for the full spectrum of devices across IT and OT.
.
Deliver end-to-end OT risk awareness and compliance management. Merging SecurityMatters' passive assessment capabilities with ForeScout's passive and active inspection for Windows, Linux and all other IT/IoT devices, will allow security teams to have a complete view of their risk profile and compliance state for the entirety of their OT environments for the first time.
.
Enable dynamic network segmentation across the entire enterprise. By identifying and classifying OT network traffic, SecurityMatters will help ForeScout extend its segmentation and policy orchestration vision to OT devices and networks.
.
Automate rapid detection and incident response for OT. Improve threat response by leveraging SecurityMatters' detection engine for ICS-specific threat indicators and behavioral anomalies in conjunction with ForeScout's contextual understanding of IT layers, and ability to orchestrate remediation through its vast technology partner ecosystem.

Exhibit 99.1
Iconix Brand Group Announces Agreement to Divest Sharper Image Brand
NEW YORK, New York-December 30, 2016 - Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICON) ("Iconix" or the "Company"), today announced that it has signed an agreement to sell the rights to the Sharper Image brand and related intellectual property assets to ThreeSixty Group, the brand's largest licensee, for $100 million in cash.
John Haugh, Chief Executive Officer of Iconix, commented, "Sharper Image is a strong and widely recognized brand, however, consistent with the vision we outlined during our recent investor day, Sharper Image did not fit into our go-forward strategy. After careful consideration, we determined that we could better leverage our resources and generate greater returns by focusing on other areas of the business. This transaction generates a significant return on investment, and allows us to make progress on de-levering the balance sheet, which is a top priority. Portfolio management will continue to be a key focus for the Company; Sharper Image is the second brand that Iconix has sold this year".
The Company plans to use the net proceeds from this transaction plus additional cash to pay down approximately $115 million of debt, a portion of which will be used to pay down the Company's Senior Secured Notes issued under the Company's securitization facility and a portion of which will be used to pay down the Company's Senior Secured Term Loan.
This transaction is expected to close on December 30, 2016. This transaction is not reflected in the Company's current guidance; however, the Company expects to record a gain on this transaction. For 2017, the Company expects the net impact of the sale of the Sharper Image brand and the repayment of debt to be neutral to earnings.
About Iconix Brand Group, Inc.
Iconix Brand Group, Inc. owns, licenses and markets a portfolio of consumer brands including: CANDIE'S (R), BONGO (R), JOE BOXER (R), RAMPAGE (R), MUDD (R), MOSSIMO (R), LONDON FOG (R), OCEAN PACIFIC (R), DANSKIN (R), ROCAWEAR (R), CANNON (R), ROYAL VELVET (R), FIELDCREST (R), CHARISMA (R), STARTER (R), WAVERLY (R), ZOO YORK (R), UMBRO (R), LEE COOPER (R), ECKO UNLTD.

other transactions; the cyclical nature of the reinsurance and insurance industries; adverse legislative developments that reduce the size of the private markets the Company serves or impede their future growth; consolidation of competitors,
customers and insurance and reinsurance brokers; the effect on the Company's business of the highly competitive nature of its industry, including the effect of new entrants to, competing products for and consolidation in the (re)insurance
industry; other political, regulatory or industry initiatives adversely impacting the Company; the Company's ability to comply with applicable sanctions and foreign corrupt practices laws; increasing barriers to free trade and the free flow of
capital; international restrictions on the writing of reinsurance by foreign companies and government intervention in the natural catastrophe market; the effect of Organisation for Economic
Co-operation
and Development or European Union ("EU") measures to increase the Company's taxes and reporting requirements; the effect of the vote by the U.K. to leave the EU; changes in regulatory regimes and accounting
rules that may impact financial results irrespective of business operations; the Company's need to make many estimates and judgments in the preparation of its financial statements; and other factors affecting future results disclosed in

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
inTEST Corporation Announces Completion of Acquisition of
Thermonics, Inc., a Division of Test Enterprises, Inc.
Acquisition Will Further Diversify Company's Thermal Products Segment to Address Growth Markets
MOUNT LAUREL, NJ, January 17, 2012 - inTEST Corporation (Nasdaq: INTT), an independent designer, manufacturer and marketer of temperature management products and semiconductor automatic test equipment (ATE) interface solutions, today announced that Temptronic Corporation, a member of inTEST Corporation's Thermal Solutions Group, has closed on the acquisition of Thermonics, Inc., a division of Test Enterprises, Inc. on January 16, 2012, pursuant to the agreement entered into on December 9, 2011. The purchase price for the assets was approximately $3.8 million cash, which included net working capital of approximately $1.1 million.
Thermonics, Inc.
Established in 1976, Sunnyvale, California-based Thermonics is well established in the development of precision temperature testing systems and is a supplier of fast, accurate and reliable temperature-testing equipment. Thermonics' products provide a range of precision temperature forcing systems used throughout a number of industries, including semiconductors, to verify the performance of products at a range of temperatures. Their systems are in use worldwide, providing high productivity and test accuracy as well as maintenance savings for their customers. Thermonics' net revenues for 2011 were approximately $5.4 million.
inTEST Thermal Solutions Group
inTEST's Thermal Solutions Group provides customized temperature test solutions and offers the industry's largest breadth of thermal solutions available. The group combines the strengths of Temptronic Corporation, the worldwide leader in temperature forcing systems for the semiconductor and broader electronic test market, and Sigma Systems Corporation, a provider of custom chambers and thermal platforms.
In announcing the completion of the transaction, James Pelrin, President of inTEST Thermal Solutions, said, "We are very pleased to add Thermonics, its products and technologies to our portfolio of leading edge thermal solutions. Our mission is to be the partner of choice for all thermal conditioning and process applications requiring advanced or customized solutions. The acquisition of Thermonics strengthens our position as the leading provider offering the most comprehensive range of thermal products and capabilities".
Acquisition Further Diversifies Thermal Products Segment to Address Growth Markets
Robert E. Matthiessen, inTEST Corporation's President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, "Thermonics is a highly respected name in the industry. The addition further enhances our presence in the semiconductor test space, while, at the same time, provides additional leverage into growth industries outside of semiconductor. As inTEST Corporation evolves from its origins as an automated test equipment company with a primary focus on semiconductors to a broad-based industrial test company, non-semiconductor related products will play an even greater role in the Company's growth strategy and success. To date we have expanded our business into several growth markets, including Automotive, Military-Aerospace, Industrial and Telecommunications".

ENTERPRISE GP HOLDINGS AND ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS COMPLETE MERGER
Houston, Texas (Monday, November 22, 2010)
- Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (NYSE: EPE) ("EPE") and Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD) ("EPD") have announced that the merger of EPE with a subsidiary of EPD was completed today.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, EPE unitholders are entitled to receive 1.50 EPD common units for each EPE unit owned at the effective time of the merger. Cash will be paid to EPE unitholders in accordance with the merger agreement in lieu of any fractional units they otherwise would have been entitled to receive. Based on the cash distributions paid in November 2010 by EPE and EPD, this will result in a 52 percent increase in cash distributions for the unitholders of EPE. As previously announced, the transaction has resulted in the cancellation of the 2% economic general partner interest in EPD and the general partner incentive distribution rights. In connection with the merger closing, an affiliate of EPCO has agreed to waive the distributions that it would otherwise be entitled to receive on certain EPD common units for the next five years.
"Enterprise GP Holdings is pleased to complete this merger", stated Dr. Ralph S. Cunningham, president and chief executive officer of EPE. "Our voting unitholders overwhelmingly supported the merger with over 99 percent of the votes cast voted in favor of the merger".
"The completion of this merger is a major event in the history of Enterprise Products Partners", said Michael A. Creel, president and chief executive officer of EPD. "The permanent elimination of our general partner's incentive distribution rights reduces our long-term cost of equity capital which will allow us to generate more accretion in terms of distributable cash flow as we continue to grow our partnership. The merger also simplifies our ownership structure".
With the completion of the merger, EPE has merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of EPD. The surviving entity continues to hold noncontrolling interests in Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. The common units that EPE held in EPD have been cancelled. EPD's common units will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol EPD. EPE's units, which had been trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol EPE, will be delisted and no longer publicly traded as of the opening of the stock market on November 23, 2010. The former general partner of EPE, EPE Holdings, LLC (to be renamed Enterprise Products Holdings LLC following the merger on November 22, 2010), has become the successor general partner of EPD in connection with the merger.
1
In connection with the closing of the merger and changes made by the sole member of our general partner, the following persons are directors of EPD's successor general partner: Randa Duncan Williams, Dr. Ralph S. Cunningham (Chairman), Richard H. Bachmann, Michael A. Creel, A. James Teague, Thurmon M. Andress, Charles E. McMahen, Edwin E. Smith, E. William Barnett, Charles M. Rampacek and Rex C. Ross. Mr. O. S. Andras has also been named an honorary director.
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. is the largest publicly traded partnership and a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals. EPD's assets include: 49,100 miles of onshore and offshore pipelines; approximately 200 million barrels of storage capacity for NGLs, refined products and crude oil; and 27 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity. Services include: natural gas transportation, gathering, processing and storage; NGL fractionation, transportation, storage, and import and export terminaling; crude oil and refined products storage, transportation and terminaling; offshore production platform; petrochemical transportation and storage; and a marine transportation business that operates primarily on the United States inland and Intracoastal Waterway systems and in the Gulf of Mexico.

-
Approximately $75.0 Million in Cash on Balance Sheet Following Closing of Merger and Private Placements to Advance Molecular Templates' Portfolio
AUSTIN, Texas - August
2, 2017
- Molecular Templates, Inc., a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the
discovery and development of Engineered Toxin Bodies (ETBs), a new class of targeted biologic therapies that possess unique mechanisms of action in oncology, today announced the completion of its previously announced merger with Threshold
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:THLD, through August 1, 2017), effective as of August 1, 2017. Following the completion of the merger, Molecular Templates completed a previously announced $40.0 million equity financing led by venture
capital firm Longitude Capital, which invested $20.0 million in the combined company, with an additional $20.0 million from CAM Capital, BVF, Perceptive Advisors and others, including certain affiliates of Molecular Templates. In addition,
following the completion of the merger and the
Longitude-led
financing, the combined company closed a $20.0 million equity investment from Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. made in connection with
Molecular Templates' entry into a collaboration and license agreement with Takeda. Together with
pre-merger
cash on Threshold's balance sheet, and giving effect to the private placements, the
combined company has a cash balance of approximately $75.0 million for use in funding its research and development activities.
The holders of shares
of Molecular Templates common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger received 7.7844 shares of Threshold common stock in exchange for each share of Molecular Templates common stock in the merger. The exchange ratio reflects a
1-for-11
reverse stock split effected by Threshold prior to the completion of the merger. Following the completion of the merger and the equity financings, the combined
company has approximately 26,880,899 shares of common stock outstanding.
Following the completion of the merger, Threshold changed its name to Molecular
Templates, Inc. The combined company will commence trading on August 2, 2017 on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "MTEM".
"The completion of these transactions is an exciting step in the evolution of Molecular Templates as we
enter the public markets", said Eric Poma, Ph.D., President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of Molecular Templates. "We are now well-funded and have the resources to further the development of our lead ETB product
candidate,
MT-3724,
with new clinical efficacy and safety data from an MTD expansion study in relapsed/refractory DLBCL patients expected in 2018, and to develop our pipeline of drug candidates based on our
next generation ETBs, the first of which is expected to enter the clinic in 2018. We are also committed to exploring Threshold's evofosfamide (formerly
TH-302),
which is currently in a Phase 1 clinical
trial in combination with ipilimumab in advanced solid tumors".
"I want to express my gratitude to the Threshold stockholders for supporting
the merger with Molecular Templates, whose technology and clinical candidates we believe are differentiated with great promise for addressing significant unmet needs in the treatment of patients living with cancer", said Harold
("Barry") E. Selick, Ph.D., Threshold's former Chief Executive Officer and chairman of the Board of Directors of the combined company. "I am looking forward to supporting the success of the combined organization".
Following the completion of the merger, Threshold moved its corporate headquarters to Austin, Texas. The combined company operates under the leadership of
Molecular Templates' management, including Eric E. Poma, Ph.D., as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer, and Jason Kim, President and Chief Operating Officer. In addition to Dr. Selick continuing as chairman, the Board of
Directors of the combined company will include Dr. Poma, Kevin M. Lalande of Santé Ventures, David Hirsch M.D, Ph.D. of Longitude Capital, Scott Morenstein of CAM Capital, David R. Hoffmann of DRH Consulting and Michael Broxson of Takeda
Pharmaceuticals.
Threshold's financial advisor for the transaction is Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., and Threshold's legal
counsel is Cooley LLP. Molecular Templates' legal counsel is Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C.
About
MT-3724
MT-3724
is Molecular Templates' lead drug candidate.
MT-3724
is in a Phase 1 clinical trial in heavily
pre-treated
non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma patients at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center, the MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the University of Arizona. An expansion arm of the Phase 1 study focused on relapsed and refractory diffuse large lymphoma patients is set to commence enrollment. More information is available at
clinicaltrials.gov.
About
MT-4019
MT-4019
is Molecular Templates' preclinical drug candidate targeting CD38.
MT-3724
has been awarded a $15.2 million grant from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) to fund development.
MT-4019
represents the second
generation of Engineered Toxin Bodies (ETBs) that incorporate a proprietarily
de-immunized
scaffold.
About Evofosfamide
Evofosfamide (formerly
TH-302)
is an investigational hypoxia-activated prodrug of a bis-alkylating agent that is
preferentially activated under severe hypoxic tumor conditions, a feature of many solid tumors. Areas of low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in solid tumors are due to insufficient blood vessel supply. Similarly, the bone marrow of patients with
hematological malignancies has also been shown, in some cases, to be severely hypoxic. A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating evofosfamide in combination with the immune checkpoint antibody, ipilimumab, is currently ongoing at the M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston Texas. At the same time, while the PMDA has just indicated that the current analysis of the MAESTRO data is not sufficient to support the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) in Japan, Molecular Templates is in ongoing
discussions with the PMDA to clarify the scope of an additional study, the results of which may then support the submission of an NDA for evofosfamide in Japan.
About Molecular Templates
Molecular Templates is focused
on the discovery, development and commercialization of next-generation immunotoxins called Engineered Toxin Bodies (ETBs) for the treatment of cancers and other serious diseases. For additional information, please visit Molecular Templates'
website at www.mtem.com.
