New financing supports SHINE’s commercialization of diagnostic and therapeutic isotope technologies, positions company for growth in development of new fusion-based technologies
JANESVILLE, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#clean--SHINE Medical Technologies LLC today announced that it has closed a $150-million Series C-5 financing. Koch Disruptive Technologies (KDT) led the round, which also included participation by Fidelity Management & Research Company, Baillie Gifford and other new and current investors. The financing will support SHINE’s commercialization of its diagnostic and therapeutic medical isotope technologies and position the company for future growth as it works toward developing new fusion-based technology applications.
“KDT is an incredible strategic partner for SHINE as we commercialize both diagnostic and therapeutic medical isotopes, and work towards fusion-based nuclear waste recycling and clean energy production,” said Greg Piefer, Chairman and CEO of SHINE. “Koch knows how to scale a company, with more than 120,000 employees around the world, and we look forward to tapping that knowledge as we continue to grow. SHINE’s mission is to usher in a new era of nuclear fusion technology and Koch, which is among the biggest players in energy, is a great long-term, strategic match for us as we pursue our ultimate goal: fusion-based clean energy. We are grateful for their confidence and investment in SHINE.”
“SHINE’s innovative medical isotope technologies, which play a crucial role in identifying and treating patients with debilitating diseases, are astounding,” said Chase Koch, President of KDT. “We believe SHINE has the potential to change not only the production and supply of medical isotopes, but to transform industrial segments globally by leveraging the company’s nuclear-fusion based technology for industrial inspection and imaging, nuclear waste recycling and energy production. Koch’s global knowledge networks and capabilities are uniquely suited to help SHINE’s impressive team implement its vision to advance fusion technology. We look forward to a productive partnership.”
An existing SHINE facility produces the therapeutic medical isotope lutetitum-177 (Lu-177). Radiotherapeutics are one of the fastest growing areas of oncology and has significant potential for the treatment of several cancers because of their ability to directly irradiate cancer including at the late stages. SHINE’s manufacturing process can produce high-specific-activity Lu-177, the form of the isotope most in demand by today’s clinical trial sponsors. Last December, SHINE also broke ground for a large-scale therapeutic isotope plant, which is expected to be operational in mid-2022 and will produce Lu-177.
SHINE is also constructing a U.S. fusion-based medical isotope production facility in Janesville, Wisconsin, to produce molybdenum-99 (Mo-99), which more than 40 million patient procedures rely on each year. There has been little production of Mo-99 in the United States for decades – contributing to chronic shortages of the isotope – and this production facility will be capable of supplying more than one-third of the global demand for Mo-99. SHINE announced in May a location for its new European medical isotope production facility, which when combined with the capacity of SHINE’s U.S. plant will give the company the ability to produce 70 percent of the global patient need for Mo-99. The production facility will be driven by nuclear fusion technology that does not require a reactor and is cleaner, safer and more sustainable than a nuclear research reactor.
“SHINE is grateful for the confidence of our world-class investor syndicate and the ongoing support of our early-stage investors,” said Todd Asmuth, SHINE’s President and Chief Strategy Officer. “The support of our institutional and individual investors and local, state and federal partners ensures that SHINE can fully execute its medical isotope plans by building multiple facilities and improving the lives of people around the world. As we bring these production facilities online, we will move into nuclear waste recycling and clean energy production, the next two phases of our plan. By doing so, we will continue to build long-term value for our stakeholders, including our customers, physicians and their patients, our employees and our shareholders.”
About SHINE Medical Technologies
SHINE is a nuclear technology company committed to improving the lives of people and the planet. The company is focusing its fusion-based technology initially on advanced industrial imaging and the production of diagnostic and therapeutic isotopes. These isotopes include molybdenum-99, a diagnostic isotope used to diagnose heart disease, cancer, and other conditions, and lutetium-177, a therapeutic isotope that holds the promise of significantly improving the outcome of some cancer patients. SHINE has a long-term strategy to solve some of humanity’s biggest problems, including nuclear waste recycling and the production of clean fusion energy, in addition to advanced industrial imaging and medical isotopes, by pursuing our vision for progressively broad and impactful uses of fusion technology.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Prospects for Public Infrastructure Projects, Middle East and Africa" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This report provides a detailed analysis of the prospects for an acceleration in public infrastructure investment, including a listing of key projects.
Many governments across the region are attempting to step up investment in infrastructure to support the recovery from COVID-19 disruption and also as part of ambitious strategic plans to promote the private sector, improve connectivity and enhance competitiveness.
In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), spending of at least 8.2% of GDP will be needed to meet the infrastructure goals by 2030, according to the World Bank, but infrastructure spending over the past decade has averaged just 3% of GDP.
Infrastructure financing has come mostly from public sector funds, but government finances have been hit hard by the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and the slump in oil prices in 2020, creating a requirement for regulatory frameworks and policies to attract greater private investment. When taking into consideration the five key factors, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Egypt are considered to have relatively good prospects for accelerating infrastructure investment.
Sub Saharan Africa has significant infrastructure needs, but despite the huge opportunities for investment, funding remains insufficient. Most governments in the region have had to use limited resources to provide COVID-19 support policies. The immediate requirements to deal with both economic and humanitarian crises has generally prevented governments from being able to focus policies on infrastructure investment, but efforts to boost growth will be stepped up.
This will be driven by ongoing investment in infrastructure and the expansion of oil production, as well as expansion in the energy sector, in order to achieve sustainable social and economic development milestones, which will help make individual countries more resilient. Tanzania stands out as having good prospects for accelerating infrastructure, along with Cameroon, Ghana and Kenya.
Given the increased focus on infrastructure investment as a potential path to generate growth momentum to support the recovery from the COVID-19 crisis, the publisher has assessed the potential for governments to succeed with such efforts as well as illustrating scenarios reflecting this

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws, including statements with respect to the ability of the Partnership, USDG and USDCF to generate future Adjusted EBITDA; amount and timing of future capital expenditure; business prospects of USDCF; and the ability of the Partnership, USDG and USDCF to develop future additional projects and expansion opportunities and whether those projects and opportunities developed by USDCF would be owned by USDCF and whether they would be subject to the Partnership’s right of first offer. Words and phrases such as “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “would,” “believes,” and similar expressions are used to identify such forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements relating to the Partnership are based on management’s expectations, estimates and projections about the Partnership, its interests and the energy industry in general on the date this press release was issued. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and related economic downturn and changes in general economic conditions and commodity prices, as well as those factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Partnership’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Partnership’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (many of which may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant reductions in demand for, and fluctuations in the prices of, crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids). The Partnership is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or alter its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Single-Pole Double-Throw Multi-Chip Module switch optimized for high reliability military communication applications. SCDs are supported, devices are tested and shipped from Teledyne’s certified US production facility.
MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#teledyne--Teledyne e2v HiRel today announced availability of a new single-pole, double-throw multi-chip module (MCM) switch with world class power handling. The surface mount PIN-diode hybrid exhibits superior RF and thermal performance compared to MMIC or glass carrier-based technologies.
The small form factor (10.1 mm x 6.2 mm x 2.5 mm) offers world class power handling, low insertion loss, and superior intermodulation performance exceeding all competitive technologies. The TDSW002040X-198 symmetrical switch is tailored to minimize Transmit-to-Antenna loss while maximizing Transmit-to-Receive isolation and to enable maximum flexibility as the designer can assign either port as Transmit Port and the other as the Receive Port.
The extremely low thermal resistance of the hybrid assembly permits reliably handling up to +56 dBm (400 W) CW power and up to +60 dBm (1 kW) peak RF incident power while operating at an ambient of 125 °C.
“Our military customers requested this part because their previous supplier exited the market, leaving them without a solution,” said Mont Taylor, VP of Business Development at Teledyne HiRel. “The TDSW002040 is surprisingly small given the very high power-handling it is capable of, making it perfect for modern military communications transmit/receive switching.”
Devices are available for ordering and shipment today. They are shipped from our Product Distribution Center, in Milpitas, California, and are available to US customers only.

The project will generate over 2.6 million kWh of electricity annually, enough to supply nearly 217 average Maryland homes
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AEW (the "Company" or "AEW"), a global real estate investment manager focused on creating value by investing in and operating commercial properties, today announced completion of a rooftop solar array expected to deliver over 2.6 million kWh of electricity annually to the community. The solar installation will be hosted at an AEW-managed industrial facility and will supply clean energy to the local electric utility, Baltimore Gas & Electric Company, through the Maryland Community Solar program.
“AEW has been steadfast in our commitment to make a positive, long-lasting impact and continue our focus on ESG+R principles,” stated Anne Peck, Head of Architecture & Engineering at AEW. “These projects reflect that commitment. We are proud to host this solar array that will bring more renewable energy to Maryland and we look forward to implementing additional renewable energy projects in the future.”
The rooftop solar system was facilitated through AEW’s partnership with Black Bear Energy and was developed by Summit Ridge Energy, the largest owner-operator of community solar in the United States. It is slated to begin commercial operation in early July 2021.
“It has been a pleasure collaborating with AEW and Summit Ridge Energy on this project and we are excited to see it moving forward. It is a perfect example of how the Maryland community solar market provides a unique opportunity for commercial property owners to realize additional value for their portfolios while contributing renewable energy to the local community,” commented Drew Torbin, Black Bear Energy’s Chief Executive Officer.
“AEW and Black Bear Energy have been fantastic partners to work with throughout the entire development and construction process. We are excited about the positive impacts this project will have on this building and the surrounding community, and we look forward to more opportunities to partner with AEW and Black Bear Energy on additional solar projects on other AEW properties,” said Nate Greenberg, Vice President of Rooftop Community Solar at Summit Ridge Energy.
This solar project is part of a larger renewable energy, sustainability, and resiliency strategy for AEW’s global portfolio of commercial properties.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Market for Passenger Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles, 2021" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
This study provides detailed data on the sales of passenger hydrogen fuel cell vehicles from their initial commercial launch through 2020. It provides market forecasts and revenue projections for the major world regions through 2036.
The study discusses automaker strategies and provides their in-depth profiles. This is one of the most comprehensive and timely studies on the passenger hydrogen fuel cell vehicles market.
With a substantial hydrogen fueling infrastructure in place, the market for hydrogen fuel cell passenger vehicles is ready for take-off, according to this research study. The study presents a bright outlook for the growth of hydrogen fuel cell cars and SUVs.
The study, Global Market for Passenger Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles, said that over 27,500 hydrogen fuel cell vehicles had been sold by year-end 2020 since their sales first began. The sales were constrained by the absence of a robust hydrogen fueling infrastructure.
The sales of passenger hydrogen fuel vehicles are now poised for a rapid pickup in 2021, the study said. Over 8,500 passenger fuel cell vehicles were sold in 2020, the highest annual sales compared to any of the previous years. The 2020 sales bucked the severe downturn experienced by the auto industry during the year.

Company’s IP portfolio now exceeds 75 Patents issued
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Optomec, an established leader in Additive Manufacturing solutions for 3D Metal Printing and 3D Printed Electronics, has received new patents covering the use of Aerosol Jet for producing 3-dimensional micro-structures. This novel capability enables the production of miniature elements with a resolution down to 15 micron features - approximately 1/5 the width of a human hair, and smaller than the resolution of the human eye. The capability has been demonstrated for a range of materials, including polymers, metals and composite structures. These new grants are the latest in an IP portfolio that totals more than 75 patents issued, with global protection including the US and key markets across Asia and Europe.
The new 3D micro-printing patents present a method for fabricating three-dimensional structures using in-situ heating or UV illumination to modify the properties of aerosol droplets as they are jetted onto a target surface. In the case of the UV embodiment, light at least partially cures photopolymer droplets, or alternatively causes droplets of solvent-based nanoparticle dispersions to rapidly dry in-flight, and the resulting increased viscosity of the aerosol droplets facilitates the formation of free-standing 3D shapes. Lateral resolutions of 15um have been achieved, with layer thicknesses of 100 nanometers and aspect ratios of >100X for structure heights measured in millimeters.
Dr. Michael Renn, Chief Technology Officer, is the inventor on these new patents, and has more than 50 patents to his credit in total. “Optomec continues to invest heavily in its core technology, seeking to extend the already broad range of applications for its Aerosol Jet solution,” said Dr. Renn. “The capability demonstrated with our 3D Printed Micro-structures work is already seeing potential applications in Semiconductor Packaging and Medical Device markets.”
For more information, see:
US Patent No. 10,994473 - Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Structures by In-Flight Curing of Aerosols
China Patent No. ZL201680020145.5 - Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Structures by In-Flight Curing of Aerosols
Optomec is a privately-held, rapidly growing supplier of Additive Manufacturing systems. Optomec’s patented Aerosol Jet Systems for printed electronics, and LENS and Huffman brand 3D Printers for metal component production and repair, are used by industry to reduce product cost and improve performance.

Forward-looking statements address matters that are, to varying degrees, uncertain, such as projected demand for our AI-driven clean energy storage services; our ability to achieve strong revenue growth, margins and cash flows; forecasts or expectations regarding the development of, or anticipated benefits of, our strategic initiatives; and other forecasts or expectations regarding the energy transition and global climate change. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the inability to recognize intended benefits from our strategic initiatives or partnerships; legislative and regulatory initiatives addressing environmental concerns, including initiatives addressing the impact of global climate change; the extent of customer demand for our AI-driven clean energy storage services; our inability to achieve strong revenue growth, margins and cash flows; our inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of our recent business combination with Star Peak Energy Transition Corp. (“Star Peak”); our inability to grow and manage growth profitably; risks relating to the development and performance of our energy storage systems and software-enabled services; the possibility that our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by other economic, business and competitive factors; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the definitive proxy statement relating to the business combination filed by Star Peak on March 30, 2021, our most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with or furnished to the SEC, and other documents we file or furnish with the SEC in the future. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize (or the consequences of such a development changes), or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release, and Stem disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly or revise such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
