Document
Security Systems, Inc. Makes Strategic Acquisition
of
Premier Packaging Corporation
Acquisition
increases DSS annual sales revenue to $17 million and allows Company to offer
complete line of secure packaging containing DSS anti-counterfeiting
technologies to multi-billion dollar marketplace
ROCHESTER,
N.Y., Feb. 17 - Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSE/AMEX: DMC)
("DSS") a world leader in the development, design and manufacturing of secure
identification and authentication technologies for documents, packaging, labels,
ID cards and electronic data and assists in the prevention of counterfeiting and
brand fraud, announced today that it had acquired Premier Packaging Corporation
("Premier"), a privately held Victor, N.Y.-based provider of high quality
packaging solutions.
Premier
Packaging Corporation is an ISO 9001:2008 registered manufacturer of custom
paperboard packaging serving clients in the pharmaceutical, beverage, photo
packaging, toy, specialty foods and direct marketing industries, among others.
An early innovator of upscale photo packaging, Premier has expanded their
product offerings to include everything from basic mailers and sleeves to
folding cartons and complex 3-dimensional solutions. Since 1989, Premier has
been providing their customers with a complete range of products and services
that include package design, prototyping, manufacturing, inventory management
programs and more.
Robert
Fagenson, DSS Chairman, commented: "The addition of Premier Packaging to the DSS
family of companies is a major event for DSS for a variety of reasons. On
a non-audited pro-forma basis, the combined companies showed 2009 sales of over
$17 million, which significantly increases the size of DSS. We have worked
together previously on a number of sales where our ability to offer customers
the combination of printing, packaging and our proprietary
anti-counterfeiting/security technology has proven very effective. The DSS
Board has elected Premier's owner and CEO, Robert "Bob" Bzdick to the offices of
President and COO of DSS while he will also retain the position of CEO of
Premier. Bob is a seasoned, successful and respected member of the
Rochester business community and will provide valuable additional depth and
experience to our management team".
Pat
White, DSS CEO added: "In the traditional packaging world, the word "Security"
has mainly meant "tamper proof" packaging. Based on our market research
this acquisition gives DSS the ability to give a whole new meaning to 'Packaging
Security' as we have created the world's first and largest packaging
manufacturing company which utilizes Document Security Systems
anti-counterfeiting optical deterrent technologies. In addition, I have
known Bob Bzdick for quite some time and I have been excited about the prospect
of combining our companies. I was also pleased that our Board agreed that
the strategic and financial benefits of this transaction were too exciting to
pass up. Having Bob as our President and COO is an added bonus that goes
beyond the quantifiable financial benefits. I look forward to working with
Bob as we continue to grow our new unique combined company".
Premier
Packaging Corporation, has 32 employees and operates from a 40,000 square foot
plant located in Victor, New York, is approximately 17 miles from the DSS
headquarters and has been serving a diverse customer base for over 20 years.
In 2009, Premier reported $6.9 million in sales and approximately $530,000
in profit. The Company expects that savings from redundant printing and
binding costs, along with additional cost savings, will result in at least an
additional $400,000 per year of net profit from the acquisition, and that the
acquisition of Premier will be accretive to combined earnings of the Company in
2010.
Bob
Bzdick, new President and COO of DSS stated: "The opportunities presented with
this merger are substantial. The ability to bring to the consumer
packaging market the technologies that DSS has developed is extremely exciting.
I look forward to working with the talented team at DSS and its affiliated
companies as well as the great team that I have had the privilege to work with
at Premier Packaging over the last 20 years".

PRESS RELEASE DATED MARCH 5, 2015 ANNOUNCING THE ACQUISITION OF THE COALTHANE ASSETS.
ex99-2.htm
Exhibit 99.2
Petro River Acquires Clean Air Technology, Coalthane Tech LLC
Petro Spring Continues to Expand its Technology Solutions Portfolio
Houston, TX- March 5, 2015 Petro River Oil Corp. (OTCBB: PTRC) ("Petro River" or the "Company") today reported that its wholly owned subsidiary Petro Spring LLC ("Petro Spring") has closed on a transaction to acquire substantially all the assets owned by Coalthane Tech LLC ("Coalthane"), including certain intellectual property, trade secrets, and know-how related to Coalthane's proprietary technology to reduce methane emissions from coal-mines and other wells (the "Acquisition"). Specifically, the technology targets fugitive gas sourced from coal-mine methane (CMM), ventilation air methane (VAM), abandoned mine methane (AMM), and/or fields of coal-bed methane producing wells (CBM). This technology leverages similar chemistry and thermodynamic processes as the recently acquired Havelide System.
TM
The proprietary Coalthane technology is an environmentally friendly method of capturing methane emissions. Methane is estimated to be 34 times worse than carbon dioxide as a green-house gas. The process is only modestly energy intensive.
According to Executive Vice President Daniel Smith, "The significance of this technology lies in its potential to significantly reduce pollution and smog in countries like China, where traditional methods of coal mining have led to extreme levels of methane emissions and air pollution".
Dr. Stephen Boyd, Petro Springs Chief Technology Officer and inventor of this technology, added "The motivation behind the development of this technology was twofold: first, to contribute to a safer work environment in coal-mines by reducing the amount of VAM present, and second to potentially convert these errant methane emissions into higher value liquid bi-products".
The acquisition represents the second transaction by Petro Spring, the technology-focused arm of Petro River, and expands its portfolio.
About Petro Spring LLC.
Petro Spring is a wholly owned technology focused subsidiary of Petro River. It was launched with an intentionally broad mandate to acquire and commercialize cutting edge technologies with the intent to capitalize on
the significant technological experience of its leadership team and network of industry relationships within the energy sector. Petro Spring owns the Havelide SystemTM, a proprietary method of converting natural gas (NG) to higher value liquid products.
The Havelide System
TM
allows for this conversion at less than half the cost of Fischer-Tropsch through a reduction in the capital, operating and processing costs.
About Petro River Oil Corp.
Petro River Oil Corp. (OTCBB: PTRC) is an energy company focused on applying modern technologies to both conventional and non-conventional oil and gas assets. The company leverages the diverse skill set of its leadership which includes executives with capital market experience as well as technical oil and gas experience. Petro River's core acreage is located in the Mid-Continent region in Oklahoma. The company also wholly owns Petro Spring, its technology focused business.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this release that are forward looking involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause the Company's actual results in future periods to be materially different from any future performance that may be suggested in this news release. Such factors may include, but are not limited to: the ability to of the Company to obtain sufficient capital to develop its oil and gas assets, and otherwise execute it business plan. Many of these risks and uncertainties are beyond the Company's control. For a discussion of such risks and uncertainties, see "Risk Factors" in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and its other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The combination of Old Line Bank and The Washington Savings Bank creates the fifth-largest independent commercial bank based in Maryland, with assets of more than $1.1 billion and, with 23 full service branches serving five counties, the combined bank will have the third-most banking locations of all independent Maryland-based commercial banks. The combination features local management, excellent coverage, and a promising growth opportunity as a result of the above average demographics throughout the five counties in which we operate. We should be well positioned to expand beyond our presence as the premiere community banking organization along the Eastern side of the corridor between Baltimore and Washington, and through the rapidly expanding communities and business zones in Southern Maryland.
"We have now tripled our size, since the beginning of 2011, in terms of total assets, increased our branch network to 23 facilities and added a significant new source of non-interest income in the form of TWSB's mortgage operations" said James W. Cornelsen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Line Bancshares, Inc.
The aggregate merger consideration was approximately $54.7 million and was funded through a combination of cash and issuance of 2,909,563 shares of Old Line Bancshares, Inc. common stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Old Line Bancshares, Inc. has added William J. Harnett, former Chairman of both The Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B. and WSB Holdings, Inc., and Michael J. Sullivan, former director of both The Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B. and WSB Holdings, Inc., to its board of directors and to the board of directors of Old Line Bank.
Old Line Bancshares, Inc. is the surviving parent entity, and The Washington Savings Bank, F.S.B. has merged with and into Old Line Bank, with Old Line Bank being the surviving bank.
Danielson Associates, LLC acted as financial adviser to Old Line Bancshares, Inc., and Ober, Kaler, Grimes & Shriver, P.C. acted as its legal counsel. RP Financial, LC acted as financial adviser to WSB Holdings, Inc. and Gordon Feinblatt LLC acted as its legal counsel.
Old Line Bancshares, Inc. is the parent company of Old Line Bank, a Maryland chartered commercial bank headquartered in Bowie, Maryland, approximately 10 miles east of Andrews Air Force Base and 20 miles east of Washington, D.C. Old Line Bank also operates from a branch in Bowie, Maryland, two branches in Waldorf, Maryland, one branch in Annapolis, Maryland, one branch in Crofton, Maryland and five additional branches in Prince George's County, Maryland. Its primary market area is the suburban Maryland (Washington, D.C. suburbs) counties of Prince George's, Anne Arundel, Charles and northern St. Mary's. It also targets customers throughout the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Old Line Bank has had 55 consecutive quarters of profitability.

Such statement is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statement. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, that integrating WSB's business into our own could take longer or be more difficult than anticipated, deterioration in economic conditions or a slower than anticipated recovery in our target markets or nationally, sustained high levels of or further increases in the unemployment rate in our target markets, the actions of our competitors and our ability to successfully compete, in particular in new market areas, and changes in laws impacting our ability to collect on outstanding loans or otherwise negatively impact our business, including regulations implemented pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act enacted in July 2010. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.

Fairchild International Enters Exclusive Licensing Agreement
for Hydrogen Production Technology
LAS VEGAS and EDMONTON, Alberta, Nov. 1, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Fairchild International
Corp. (OTC BB:
FCHL.OB
-
News
)
http://www.fairchildinternational.com
, is pleased to
announce an agreement has been reached for Fairchild's wholly owned subsidiary
Syngas Energy Corp. to acquire certain rights and licenses involving technology
used to produce hydrogen-based fuels.
The technology, called PyStR (Pyrolysis Steam Reformer), was originally invented
in the United States by a leading researcher in hydrogen and gasification technology
and operations. Wilf Ouelette, a director of Fairchild and Syngas, discovered
the technology and acquired the licenses, which he then assigned to Fairchild/Syngas.
Ouelette states, "The technology is the most advanced process I have seen producing
high purity hydrogen, and the cost structure is more economical than competitive
technologies." The technology was acquired for cash consideration and Syngas
has agreed to pay a one-time royalty fee per generator of $214.83 per million
BTU (GCV) heat input per hour for hydrogen production and 2 percent of gross
sales for non-hydrogen producing apparatus.
Using PyStR, the company expects to be able to produce low-cost 99.9 percent
pure hydrogen from a variety of inputs, including coal and biomass, using its
existing gas generators. The process for making hydrogen fuel is synergistic
with the company's core business model and plans for development and commercialization
of the PyStR technology will begin immediately.
As oil and natural gas deplete, hydrogen is expected to become a leading source
of power for cars, houses, fuel cells and industrial plants in the future. President
Bush and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California have recently announced
hydrogen initiatives. The president's initiative is the basis of the new U.S.
Energy Policy; Governor Schwarzenegger's is embodied in his unveiling of the
California Hydrogen Highway.
About Fairchild International Corp:

), through
its subsidiary Syngas Energy Corp., is an emerging leader in the development
and marketing of low-cost alternate fuels worldwide. We believe our superior
technologies, coupled with an aggressive marketing plan will catapult our company
into a green powerhouse. With fuel prices at record high levels and the global

US ECOLOGY, INC. COMPLETES ACQUISITION
OF EQ - THE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMPANY; ENTERS INTO NEW $540 MILLION CREDIT AGREEMENT
Board and Executive Management
Appointments also Announced
Boise, Idaho -
June 18, 2014 -
US Ecology, Inc. (NASDAQ-GS: ECOL) ("the Company") today announced the completion of its
previously announced acquisition of EQ - The Environmental Quality Company ("EQ"), for $465 million. The combination
of US Ecology and EQ creates a leading North American environmental and industrial services provider.
The acquisition was funded
with cash on hand and borrowings under a new $540 million credit facility made up of $415 million in 7-year term debt and a $125
million 5-year revolving line of credit.
"The acquisition
of EQ aligns perfectly with our strategy of leveraging high quality treatment, disposal and recycling assets and complementary
service businesses to drive growth", commented Jeff Feeler, President and CEO. "EQ broadens our geographic footprint
by adding a fifth hazardous waste landfill and a network of 18 treatment facilities serving the eastern half of the United States
including many of the country's key industrial centers. It further enhances our competitive position by adding a well established
field and industrial services business, allowing us to penetrate a much broader portion of the overall environmental market than
in the past. With a solid stream of recurring revenue and national customer base, the combined company offers cross-selling opportunities
and operational efficiencies that we believe will deliver compelling value to both our customers and our stockholders for years
to come."
The Company anticipates updating its earnings
guidance in connection with the release of its second quarter results in August 2014. Further details regarding these transactions
can be found in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 18, 2014.
Board and Executive Management Appointments
The Company also announced today that David
M. Lusk, formerly President and CEO of EQ, was appointed to the Board of Directors of US Ecology. Lusk, age 53, brings more than
25 years of industry experience. Lusk previously worked for eight years as EQ's Vice President of Operations at Michigan
Disposal Waste Treatment Plant and Wayne Disposal Hazardous Waste Landfill before joining Republic Waste Industries as Vice President
of Midwest Operations. He returned as a senior EQ executive in 1995. Lusk was later promoted to chief executive, successfully leading
the organization through a period of sustained revenue and earnings expansion leading up to this acquisition. Lusk holds B.S. degrees
in Chemistry and Cellular and Molecular Biology from the University of Michigan and has a M.B.A. from Eastern Michigan University.
1
In addition, Mario Romero, Vice President
of Operations of EQ, was named US Ecology's Executive Vice President of Field and Industrial Services. Romero, age 56, joined
EQ in 2009 from WOW Energy where he was President, CEO and co-founder. He brings more than 30 years of experience in the environmental,
energy and industrial services industries, holding executive positions at Energis LLC, Safety-Kleen Corp., Philip Services Corp.
and The GNI Group, Inc. Romero holds an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago and a Masters and B.S. in Chemical Engineering from
Illinois Institute of Technology. Romero is a Professional Engineer in the State of Illinois, a member of the American Institute
of Chemical Engineers and has served as director on several private company boards.
"We welcome EQ's exceptional
team of environmental professionals and look forward to building upon the excellent track record of both companies", Feeler
concluded.

non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, stockholders should not assume that we agree
