EZCORP COMPLETES VALUE FINANCIAL SERVICES ACQUISITION
AUSTIN, Texas (January 2, 2009)
- EZCORP, Inc. (NASDAQ: EZPW) announced today that on December 31,
2008, it completed its acquisition of Value Financial Services, Inc. ("Value"). Value operated 67
pawnshops in Florida (59), Tennessee (4), Georgia (3) and Mexico (1).
Coinciding with this acquisition, EZCORP closed on a $120 million credit facility, consisting of a
$40 million term loan and an $80 million revolving line of credit. At closing, EZCORP borrowed
only $40 million on the term loan, leaving the $80 million revolving line of credit unused.
EZCORP's President and Chief Executive Officer, Joe Rotunda, stated, "We believe this is an
excellent acquisition in very good pawn markets. We expect this acquisition to strengthen our
overall portfolio of pawn stores and to be accretive to our fiscal 2009 earnings. With our strong
cash flow and unused capacity on our new credit facility, we are poised to continue investing in
and growing our business".
Rotunda continued, "Following completion of the acquisition on December 31
st
, John
Thedford, Value's former Chief Executive Officer, made the decision not to join the EZCORP team.
We wish John well in his future endeavors".
On December 31, 2008, there was an unauthorized release of information to the press regarding this
acquisition. This information contained several factual errors and misrepresentations. For a
complete and accurate description of this transaction we refer interested parties to the proxy
statement/prospectus contained in EZCORP's Form S-4, which became effective with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on December 2, 2008.
EZCORP is primarily a lender or provider of credit services to individuals who do not have cash
resources or access to credit to meet their short-term cash needs. In its pawnshops, the Company
offers non-recourse loans collateralized by tangible personal property, commonly known as pawn
loans. At these locations, the Company also sells merchandise, primarily collateral forfeited from
its pawn lending operations, to consumers looking for good value. In its signature loan stores and
some pawnshops, the Company offers short-term non-collateralized loans, often referred to as payday
loans, or fee based credit services to customers seeking loans.
As of December 31, 2008, EZCORP operated a total of 890 locations in the U.S. and Mexico (including
the locations acquired from Value) consisting of 412 pawnshops in the U.S. (371) and Mexico (41)
and 478 U.S signature loan stores.
This announcement contains certain forward-looking statements regarding the Company's expected
performance for future periods including, but not limited to anticipated benefits of an
acquisition. Actual results for these periods may materially differ from these statements. Such
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties such as changing market conditions in
the overall economy and the industry, consumer demand for the Company's services and merchandise,
changes in the regulatory environment, and other factors periodically discussed in the Company's
annual, quarterly and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Lifetime Brands Acquires Stake in Ekco SAB
Garden City, NY, December 20, 2007
-- Lifetime
Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: LCUT), North America's leading resource for nationally branded
kitchenware, tabletop and home décor products, today announced it has completed its
planned acquisition of a 30% stake in Ekco, SAB, Mexico's largest housewares company.
Lifetime's investment is valued at approximately $23 million.
Based in
Mexico City, Ekco manufactures and sells cookware, kitchenware, cutlery, dinnerware,
flatware and related items. The company owns the worldwide rights to the Vasconia®
trademark, Mexico's oldest and best-known cookware brand, as well as the rights in
Mexico to the Ekco® trademark, Mexico's leading kitchenware brand. Ekco also owns the
rights to the Regal® and H. Steele® trademarks in Mexico, licenses the Presto®
trademark for use in Mexico and has exclusive distribution rights for Thermos® products
in Mexico. In 2007, Ekco acquired
Industria Mexicana del Aluminio,
S.A. de C.V.,
one of Mexico's largest aluminum smelters and
rolling mills.
Shares
of Ekco's capital stock are traded on the
Bolsa Mexicana de
Valores,
the Mexican Stock Exchange. For the year ending December
31, 2007, Ekco expects to report net sales of approximately $90.0 million and net income of
approximately $5.0 million.
Jeffrey
Siegel, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lifetime, said, "Many of our
multinational retail customers have indicated that they want to work more closely with
their key suppliers on a global basis. As the leading housewares company in Mexico, Ekco is
the ideal partner for Lifetime to expand in Mexico and other Latin American markets. We
have already implemented a strategy whereby Ekco will supply many of Lifetime's
products to certain large US-based retailers that operate in Mexico.
"Our
partnership also includes the United States, and we recently began showing a new line of
Vasconia® branded cookware and other kitchenware products to selected retailers here.
The initial response to this introduction has been very favorable, and we will begin
shipping products in the second quarter of 2008. These products, designed by Lifetime in
conjunction with Ekco, will fulfill the need for well-priced key items commonly used in
Latino households, as well as provide all consumers with authentic Hispanic cookware to use
in preparing Mexican food and other Hispanic meals at home.
José Ramón Elizondo, Ekco's President, Chief Executive Officer
and Principal Shareholder, said, "Our partnership with Lifetime Brands, which includes
access to many of Lifetime's brands and its product development and sourcing capabilities,
will enable Ekco to accelerate its growth, increase its profitability, and augment its
position as a leading supplier of quality products to retailers in Mexico and elsewhere in
Central and South America".

Mr. Peterson continued, "California has emerged as one of the United States' leading legal cannabis markets, with adult-use planned to come online in 2018. Legal sales in the state are expected to hit $5.8 billion by 2021 according to Arcview Market Research, up from an estimated $1.8 billion last year. Terra Tech will continue to identify opportunities to expand both its retail and cultivation capabilities in these core markets to drive forward our growth strategy and build value for shareholders".

HUNTSMAN CLOSES SALE OF U.S. BUTADIENE BUSINESS
The
Woodlands, TX -
Huntsman Corporation (NYSE:
HUN), announced today that the Company has closed on the sale of its U. S.
butadiene and MTBE business, which includes a manufacturing facility located in
Port Neches, Texas, to Texas Petrochemicals, L.P. The total sales price was
approximately $262 million, of which $192 million was paid today, while an
additional $70 million will be payable to Huntsman following the restart of the
Company's Port Arthur olefins unit and the related resumption of
crude butadiene supply to
Texas Petrochemicals, LP. The final purchase price remains subject to a
customary post-closing working capital adjustment.
Huntsman has owned the
butadiene/MTBE business since its 1994 acquisition of Texaco Chemical Company.
The manufacturing facility has a capacity of approximately 900 million pounds
of butadiene per year and approximately 11,000 barrels per day of MTBE. The
business had 2005 revenues of approximately $645 million.
Peter R. Huntsman, President
and CEO, commented, "This transaction reflects our strategy to pursue the sale
or spin off of our commodity businesses and to focus more of our attention and
resources on our differentiated portfolio. In fact, this is the first major
step toward that goal. We believe that the separation of our commodity business
will create shareholder value and we continue to work aggressively to this end.
We intend to utilize the proceeds from this sale to reduce debt and to invest
in other parts of the Company, including the soon to be complete acquisition of
Ciba's Textile Effects
business.
"We pay tribute to our
associates who have worked in and currently run the business and facility; they
are some of the most talented and dedicated professionals in the chemical
industry. When we purchased the business in 1994 it was on the verge of
closure. Butadiene is a core product for Texas Petrochemical, and we believe
this sale to will ensure a long-term future for this site".
Huntsman's PO/MTBE and
Oxides/Olefins facilities in Port Neches and its facility in nearby Port Arthur
are not included in the sale.
Huntsman is a global
manufacturer and marketer of differentiated and commodity chemicals. Its
operating companies manufacture basic products for a variety of global
industries including chemicals, plastics, automotive, aviation, footwear,
paints and coatings, construction, technology, agriculture, health care,
textiles, detergent, personal care, furniture, appliances and packaging.
Originally known for pioneering innovations in packaging, and later, rapid and
integrated growth in petrochemicals, Huntsman today has 11,300 employees, 57
operations in 22 countries and had 2005 revenues of $13 billion.

EXHIBIT 99.1
Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc.: Exhibit 99.1 - Filed by newsfilecorp.com
Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc. Acquires 100%
Ownership of the Intellectual Property Assets from Its Founder and Chairman
NOVI, Mich., December 31, 2010
Mount Knowledge Holdings,
Inc. ("Company") (
OTCBB: MKHD
), a provider of innovative and proprietary
software based learning products and training services worldwide, today
announced that it entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement,
dated December 28, 2010, to acquire the intellectual property (the "Intellectual
Property") referred to as the "Real Time Learning and Self Improvement
Educational System and Method™ developed and owned by Erwin E. Sniedzins, the
Company's Chairman and Ucandu Learning Centres Inc ("UCandu"), a company
controlled by Mr. Sniedzins.
Prior to the execution of the Intellectual Property Purchase
Agreement, the Company had utilized the same Intellectual Property, the core
technology of the Company's products and services, pursuant to a Master Software
Licensing Agreement with Mount Knowledge, Inc. As a result of the acquisition of
the Intellectual Property, the Master Software Licensing Agreement was no longer
necessary and the parties thereto agreed to cancel it on December 27, 2010.
The purchase price for the Intellectual Property is deliverable
in installments, with the first installment payable in cash or the Company's
common stock on the first anniversary of the closing date and the second
installment payable by delivery of 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common
stock on the second anniversary of the closing date. The amount of the first
installment will be based on an appraisal of the intellectual property to be
conducted within six months of the closing date by an independent third party
selected by the Company.
In addition, we entered into an Independent Contractor
Agreement with Ucandu, dated December 28, 2010, for technology development,
sales and marketing services to be provided by Ucandu to the Company over a
three (3) year period.
Further, the Company also acquired a 49% ownership interest in

technology development company formed on June 18, 2010 and headquartered in
Toronto, Canada as of December 16, 2010. The remaining 51% ownership interest of
MTK Tech is owned by Ucandu.
The primary reason for the creation of MTK Tech was to provide
a platform for Mr. Sniedzins and the technology development team to oversee new
technology advancements of the Intellectual Property on behalf of the Company
and to have a more focused dedication to identifying sources of development
funds such as small business development incentive programs and other private
and public research initiatives available in Canada. MTK Tech currently employs
a five-member development team full-time. All advancements and/or additions to
the technology developed by MTKTECH remain exclusively owned by the Company
pursuant to the Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement and subsequent
operational documentation.
In conjunction with the acquisition of the Company's 49%
ownership interest in MTK Tech, the Company also entered into an option
agreement ("Option") with Ucandu to purchase Ucandu's 51% ownership interest in
MTK Tech at any time and at the sole discretion of the Company for a purchase
price of 100,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company.
Lastly, on December 27, 2010, the Company and MTK Inc entered
into a Warrant Cancellation Agreement, pursuant to which the parties thereto
jointly agreed to terminate, effective immediately, the Warrant Purchase
Agreement dated January 21, 2010 between Company and MTK Inc. The Company did
not incur any termination fees or penalties in connection with the termination
of the Warrant Purchase Agreement.
Mr. Sniedzins stated "This transfer of ownership of our core
intellectual property and the establishment of MTK Tech will further strengthen
the organizational foundation of Mount Knowledge and should further enhance the
value of the Company. I am gratified to have this opportunity to reinforce my
personal commitment to the Company and look forward to working with our
cutting-edge development team to continue to improve our technology".
"We look forward to continuing our important work with Mr.
Sniedzins to create long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders", stated
Daniel A. Carr, President and CEO of Mount Knowledge Holdings, Inc., "The
ownership of our core intellectual property should also serve to increase the
perception of Mount Knowledge's strong asset base available for future growth".
The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-k with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2010 to disclose, among other
things, the Company's entrance into the agreements described herein and the
cancellation of the Master Software Agreement and Warrant Cancellation
Agreement.

software development, sales and training company offering innovative and
proprietary "real-time self learning" software products and teaching services

OTC
BB: DPDW
DEEP
DOWN SELLS $40 MILLION OF COMMON STOCK
CHANNELVIEW,
TX - June 5, 2008 - Deep Down, Inc. (OTCBB: DPDW) announced today that it has
closed a $40 million private placement of common stock to institutional and
accredited investors. Deep Down sold 57,142,857 shares of its Common
Stock at a price of $0.70 per share. As part of this transaction,
Deep Down will file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares
of Common Stock acquired in this offering. Dahlman Rose &
Company, LLC acted as exclusive placement agent for the financing.
Deep Down
used $22.0 million of the net proceeds to complete the previously announced
acquisition of Flotation Technologies, which closed today. Flotation
recently introduced its patent pending CoreTec (TM) drilling riser buoyancy
modules, which Deep Down believes can become the industry standard for ultra
deepwater applications. Deep Down will use approximately $12.5
million of the net proceeds to repay a $12 million mezzanine facility that was
provided by Prospect Capital Corporation. This mezzanine facility has
a 15.5% annual interest rate. The Company will use the remaining net
proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
"We are
extremely pleased by the vote of confidence conveyed by the professional
investors who are participating in this private placement. The
ability to raise $40 million with these sophisticated investors validates the
business plan and strategy we have developed", commented Ronald E. Smith, Deep
Down's President and CEO. "Repayment of the mezzanine facility will
give us an essentially debt-free balance sheet and save us over $2.0 million per
year in interest and other related costs", added Eugene L. Butler, Deep Down's
CFO. "As evidenced by the recent $9 million letter of intent from
Delba International to supply and install the deepwater marine drilling riser
flotation system for the new-build Delba III semisubmersible drilling rig, we
are already experiencing significantly positive developments from our planned
ownership of Flotation Technologies", concluded Robert E. Chamberlain, Jr., Deep
Down's Chairman.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Certain Funds Affiliated with Apollo Global Management
Announce Completion of the Acquisition of The Fresh Market, Inc.
NEW YORK, NY - April 27, 2016
- Certain funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management, LLC (NYSE: APO) (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Apollo"), a leading global alternative investment manager, today announced the successful completion of the previously announced transaction, whereby certain Apollo affiliated funds and certain other investors acquired the stock of The Fresh Market, Inc. (NASDAQ: TFM) ("The Fresh
Market").
The acquisition was effected through a tender offer followed by a merger. As previously announced, the tender offer, which was made at $28.50 per share pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger entered into by affiliates of Apollo and The Fresh Market on March 11, 2016 (the "Merger Agreement"), expired as scheduled at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 21, 2016 (one minute after 11:59 P.M. on April 21, 2016). On April 22, 2016, shares that were validly tendered (other than shares tendered by guaranteed delivery where actual delivery had not occurred) and not withdrawn, which constituted approximately 68.2% of the outstanding shares of The Fresh Market, were accepted for payment. Shares validly tendered by guaranteed delivery were accepted for payment upon receipt. On April 27, 2016, in accordance with the Merger Agreement and Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the acquisition was completed by merging The Fresh Market with an affiliate of Apollo. In connection with the merger, all shares not validly tendered in the tender offer (subject to certain exceptions, including shares for which appraisal rights were validly demanded) were cancelled and converted into the right to receive $28.50 per share. As a result, The Fresh Market became a privately-held company and The Fresh Market's common stock ceased trading on the NASDAQ.
