Compass Diversified Holdings Closes Sale of
CamelBak Products, LLC
Westport, Conn., August 3, 2015 - Compass Diversified Holdings (NYSE: CODI) ("CODI" or the "Company"), an owner of leading middle market businesses, announced today that it has completed the sale of CamelBak Products, LLC ("CamelBak") to Vista Outdoor Inc., pursuant to an agreement it entered into on July 27, 2015.
The sale price for CamelBak was based on a total enterprise value of $412.5 million plus an additional $14.1 million of estimated cash and working capital adjustments subject to customary post-closing true-ups. After the allocation of the sales price to non-controlling equityholders and the payment of transaction expenses, CODI received approximately $367.8 million of total proceeds from the sale at closing. This amount is in respect of the Company's outstanding loans to CamelBak (including accrued interest) and its equity interests in CamelBak, which was acquired by CODI on August 24, 2011. The proceeds will be used to repay all outstanding debt under the Company's revolving credit facility, with the balance increasing cash on the Company's balance sheet. The Company anticipates recording a gain on the sale of CamelBak ranging between $150 million and $170 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Additional information on the transaction will be available on the Company's current report on Form 8-K that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Guardion Health Sciences Concludes
Acquisition of VectorVision
San Diego, California - October
2, 2017
- Guardion Health Sciences, Inc. ("Guardion" or the "Company"), a leader in the field
of ocular health technologies and products, has acquired VectorVision, Inc. ("VectorVision") effective as of September
29, 2017.
VectorVision is a world leader in standardized
vision testing, and the leader in the field of contrast sensitivity, glare disability and ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy
Study) visual acuity testing with its proprietary CSV-1000 device. The VectorVision testing equipment is widely used by both eye
care clinicians and ophthalmic researchers, and has become the established benchmark for standardized, highly sensitive and repeatable
vision testing. The acquisition of VectorVision expands Guardion's technical portfolio and further establishes the Company's
position at the forefront of early detection, intervention and monitoring of a range of eye diseases and conditions.
Guardion acquired substantially all the
assets of VectorVision, including trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property, and assumed certain liabilities of VectorVision,
in exchange for the issuance of 3,050,000 shares of its common stock, which represent approximately 11% of Guardion's issued
and outstanding shares immediately following the transaction.
In conjunction with the transaction, the
founding shareholder of VectorVision, Dr. David Evans, is joining Guardion's Board of Directors. Dr. Evans is an internationally
recognized expert in vision correction surgery, eye physiology and vision testing technology. He received his Bachelor of Science
degree in Human Factors Engineering from the United States Air Force Academy, a Master of Science degree and Masters in Business
Administration from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, and a Ph.D. in Ocular Physiology from Indiana University.
Dr. Evans commented, "I am very excited
about joining forces with Guardion. A new age of eye healthcare is upon us, and we now have the availability of novel treatment
interventions which can lead to vision recovery in disease states where recovery was previously not possible. The VectorVision
technology is the recognized world standard for contrast sensitivity testing, and we expect our technology to play a critical role
in helping doctors measure the visual function recovery associated with new interventions that may be developed by Guardion and
others, as well as demonstrating to patients the benefits of these interventions".
Michael Favish, Guardion's CEO and
founder, added, "We believe that the VectorVision acquisition marks just the beginning of the expansion of Guardion's
technology portfolio, and demonstrates our commitment to building the Company into the market leader in ocular health early detection
and management. We are delighted to welcome Dr. Evans to our Board of Directors, and we look forward to working with him as we
continue to advance the VectorVision technology and support our doctor partners and the patients that they serve".
A more complete description of the previously
described transaction, including a copy of the transaction documents, is filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and is available at www.sec.gov.

Industrial
Enterprises of America Raises Earning Guidance for Fiscal Year Beginning July
1,
2006
Friday
May 12, 10:30 am ET
NEW
YORK,
May 12, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Industrial Enterprises of America, Inc. (OTC
BB:
ILNP.OB
-
News
), a specialty manufacturer and distributor of
automotive aftermarket supplies, announces that the Company has raised earnings
guidance to $10 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. Management
has
increased guidance by $2 million based upon the sale of Springdale Specialty
Plastics which allows the company to reduce current debt obligations and
decrease its overall costs of goods sold, as well as increases in profit margins
due to efficiencies in consolidation and purchasing.
Springdale
Specialty Plastics, a manufacturer of blow molded plastic bottles, was
originally purchased as part of the Pitt Penn acquisition and sold for $2.5
million. The sale of Springdale effectively reduces ILNP's purchase price of
Pitt Penn by more than half. The facility was purchased by Fortco Plastics
Inc,
a private company.
According
to management, Springdale was a relatively inefficient manufacturer, and the
purchaser of the blow mold facility will be upgrading and modernizing the
production equipment to increase the output of current operations. The purchaser
has agreed to continue supplying plastic containers to the Company, which will
result in a decrease in ILNP's packaging costs.
John
Mazzuto, Chief Executive Officer of Industrial Enterprises of America, stated,
"The 25% increase in earnings guidance is attributable to several factors.
The
recent sale of our Springdale facility eliminates overhead costs, reduces
current debt and lowers our cost of goods sold by outsourcing production of
containers to a more efficient facility. Additionally, our consolidation
following the Pitt Penn acquisition has given us greater purchasing power with
suppliers which has begun being realized and will be fully implemented beginning
July 1, 2006".
The
consolidation of the Company's Ohio manufacturing and warehousing operations
into Pitt Penn Oil Co.'s facility is actively underway. Engineering and plant
personnel have completed their review of the consolidation efforts, certain
operations have been transferred and production lines are currently in transit.
It is estimated that the relocation of liquid production lines to Pitt Penn
Oil
will be completed within the next thirty days.
About

believes that such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot
guarantee that such expectations are, or will be, correct. These forward-looking
statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause the
Company's future results to differ materially from those anticipated, including:
(i) the Company's history of ongoing operating losses; (ii) the overall
marketplace and clients' usage of EMC Packaging's and Unifide Industries'
products, including demand therefore, the impact of competitive technologies,
products and pricing, particularly given the substantially larger size and
scale
of certain competitors and potential competitors, control of expenses, and
revenue generation by the acquisition of new customers; (iii) the ultimate
consequences of Hurricane Katrina on the supply and/or distribution chain;
(iv)
the consequent results of operations given the aforementioned factors; and
(v)
the requirement for the Company to raise additional working capital to fund
operations and the availability and terms of any such funding to the Company.
Without any such funding, the Company believes it may be forced to curtail
operations, and if no alternative to financing, such as an additional merger
or
acquisition, is consummated, the Company may not continue as a going concern.
Other risks are detailed from time to time in the Company's 2003 Annual Report
on Form 10-K, as amended, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB, and in its
other

Koosharem Corporation, parent company for
The Select Family of
Staffing Companies, a top 10 national staffing industry leader, has completed
its acquisition of Walnut Creek, California-based Westaff Inc.

teams into the Select fold".
Westaff

focus on light industrial and clerical placements in a wide range of industries,
have several hundred offices located throughout the United States, serve
approximately 10,000 clients, and have successful franchise

areas of overlap, and Westaff's competitive strength made the acquisition an
excellent strategic and geographic fit. By combining the two

.
All
of Westaff's company-owned locations will be incorporated into The Select

payment of the merger consideration. Select anticipates that the
exchange agent will contact shareholders shortly with instructions on how to
receive payment for the shares. As a result of the merger, Westaff
will no longer file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and shares of the Company's common stock will no longer trade on the
NASDAQ Stock Market. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
acted as legal counsel to Select; Morrison & Foerster LLP acted as legal
counsel to Westaff.

Activision Blizzard and Investor Group Complete Purchase of Company Shares from Vivendi
Newly Independent Company Now Majority Owned by Public Shareholders
SANTA MONICA, Calif.-(BUSINESS WIRE)- Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), a global leader in interactive entertainment, announced today that it had successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of approximately 429 million company shares and certain tax attributes from Vivendi (Euronext Paris: VIV) for approximately $5.83 billion, or $13.60 per share in cash. ASAC II LP, an investment vehicle led by Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick and Chairman Brian Kelly, has also completed its purchase of approximately 172 million company shares from Vivendi for approximately $2.34 billion in cash, or $13.60 per share, in a separate transaction.
The shares Activision Blizzard purchased in the transaction will no longer be treated as outstanding, leaving the majority of the remaining 690 million shares in the hands of public shareholders. With the closing of the transaction, ASAC II LP-the investor group which, in addition to Kotick and Kelly, includes Davis Advisors, Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., Tencent, and one of the world's largest global institutional investors-now owns approximately 24.7% of the Company. Vivendi has retained 83 million shares, an approximate 12% stake in the Company.
Activision's stock purchase was financed with a combination of approximately $1.2 billion of domestic cash on hand and recently issued debt, including $1.5 billion of 5.625% senior notes due 2021, $750 million of 6.125% senior notes due 2024, and a $2.5 billion seven-year term loan facility. The entire $4.75 billion of debt financing has a weighted average annual interest rate of less than 5%.
"With the completion of this transaction we open a new chapter in the history of Activision Blizzard", Mr. Kotick said. "We expect immediate shareholder benefits in the form of earnings-per-share accretion and strategic and operational independence. Our audiences and our incredibly talented employees around the world will benefit from a focused commitment to the creation of great games. Our shareholders and debt holders will have the benefit of an energized, invested, deeply committed management team focused on generating long-term, superior returns and effectively managing our capital structure".
