Up to $145 Million Available for Upstream Renewable Natural Gas Projects and Downstream Fueling

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$CLNE #RNG--Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) and its largest shareholder, Total S.E., today announced a memorandum of understanding to create a 50/50 joint venture to develop carbon-negative renewable natural gas (RNG) production facilities in the United States, as well as credit support to build additional downstream RNG fueling infrastructure. Total will provide $50 million and Clean Energy $30 million for the proposed joint venture and Total will be providing credit support of $65 million to support Clean Energy development in the RNG value chain, including $45 million for contracted RNG fueling infrastructure.

The companies have already partnered to expand the use of RNG in the heavy-duty truck market with its Zero Now program, which allows fleets to purchase natural gas trucks for the same price as diesel trucks. The demand for carbon-negative RNG, which is derived from dairies and other agricultural facilities, has rapidly accelerated through the Zero Now program with trucking companies such as Kenan Advantage, KeHE Distributors, Estes Express Lines, Tradelink Transport, among many others, taking advantage of the economic savings while powering their new fleets with the cleanest fuel in the world.

Negative-carbon RNG is produced when carbon emissions are captured from dairies and turned into a transportation fuel, reducing the harmful effects on long-term climate change. As a result, the California Air Resources Board gives these carbon-negative RNG projects a carbon intensity (“CI”) Score (gCO2e/MJ) of -250 (or lower) compared to 97 for diesel and 46 for electric batteries. Clean Energy is the largest provider of RNG as a transportation fuel in the United States and Canada, and the largest RNG fuel provider under the California LCFS program.

“We are very fortunate to have a partner in Total that is so supportive on a number of levels,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, CEO and president of Clean Energy. “Both our companies have recognized the enormous opportunity that a carbon-negative fuel can play in our ambitious efforts to combat climate change. This new agreement will allow Clean Energy to increase the flow of low-CI RNG as the demand expands, as well as the capital to build new fueling stations for additional contracted fleets.”

Clean Energy’s goal is to meet the rapidly growing demand by customers for carbon-negative RNG and to deliver 100% Redeem™ branded RNG to its entire fueling infrastructure by 2025, which it is well on its way to achieving.

About Clean Energy

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. is the leading provider of the cleanest fuel for the transportation market in the United States and Canada. Through its sales of Redeem™ renewable natural gas (RNG), which is derived from capturing biogenic methane produced from decomposing organic waste, Clean Energy allows thousands of vehicle fleets, from airport shuttles to city buses to waste and heavy-duty trucks, to reduce their amount of climate-harming greenhouse gas by at least 70% and even up to 300% depending on the source of the RNG. Clean Energy can deliver Redeem through compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquified natural gas (LNG) to its network of approximately 540 fueling stations across the U.S. and Canada. Clean Energy builds and operates CNG and LNG fueling stations for the transportation market, owns natural gas liquefication facilities in California and Texas, and transports bulk CNG and LNG to non-transportation customers around the U.S. For more information, visit www.CleanEnergyFuels.com.

LIVONIA, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Utilities that develop digital touchpoints are being rewarded with stronger relationships with their business clients. A historic number of businesses report contacting their utility via digital channels for service (79%) or recall utility communications via digital channels (60%) this year. These digital interactions have led to stronger customer engagement, evident by a 24-point YOY increase in the industry’s business Engaged Customer Relationship (ECR) index. These and other findings are from the 2020 Cogent Syndicated Utility Trusted Brand & Customer Engagement™: Business study by Escalent, a top human behavior and analytics firm.

Escalent’s ECR score is a composite index of Service Satisfaction, Brand Trust and Product Experience. Satisfaction with digital outreach, communication and service support boosted each of these component measures, leading to an overall industry business ECR score of 786 (on a 1,000-point-maximum scale) for the year. Among customers who reported having a digital interaction with their utility, ECR and all three component scores were even higher, showing the power of digital interactions to further build these relationships.

Scoring based upon a 1,000-point-maximum scale; interactions for service or communications

“Business customers became much more engaged with their utilities during this trying year. Utilities increased digital experiences and spending on communications to support these customers,” said Chris Oberle, senior vice president at Escalent. “This year, omniservice became a reality for the utility industry as businesses used an average of three service channels, all including some type of digital access. With high preference for digital service, businesses are more likely to use these channels in the future.”

Escalent congratulates the 23 utilities designated 2020 Business Customer Champions. These utilities earned the industry’s highest ECR scores by providing world-class customer experiences during a time of greatest customer need.

The following charts reflect the ECR scores for the 77 utilities covered in the study.

OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In an unprecedented year for nearly every market, the ocean shipping industry was no exception. The new landscape, accelerated by the pandemic, has brought the ocean shipping industry new opportunities for growth in 2021 and has made stakeholders reevaluate current strategies they have had in place for years. Navis, a part of Cargotec Corporation, and the provider of operational technologies and services that unlock greater performance and efficiency for leading organizations throughout the global shipping industry, has identified its top predictions and trends that will drive the industry in 2021 and the technology that will be most impactful for meaningful operations in the coming year.

Navis’ predictions for the cargo supply chain include:

1. More investment in cloud-based technologies: As a result of social distancing measures brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, on-site management of terminal operations had decreased this year in exchange for more remote operations made possible by innovative technology. According to Navis’ customer survey, titled “Understanding Your Terminal Strategy with Cloud-based Technologies,” market interest in cloud-based solutions are on the rise – in fact, per the survey, interest in these solutions had risen nearly 40% compared to last year (54% in 2019 vs. 93% in 2020), with 79% of respondents having an existing timeline to move or considering moving to the cloud.
   
   “We’ve seen the cloud-based technology trend in the ocean shipping industry increase exponentially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and expect it to continue to rise next year,” said Younus Aftab, Chief Product Officer at Navis. “Terminals are realizing they can perform nearly all tasks remotely, which allows them to streamline workflow, cut down on costs and prioritize safety for their staff, leading to more reliable and stable operations to best serve their customers.”
   
   
2. Rise of smart technology for inland and marine logistics: This year has demonstrated the value of enhanced visibility and predictability in operations, and the importance of technology that can collect and analyze data to help stakeholders make better business decisions. According to the “Automation 2020: Perceptions, challenges and opportunities for Container Terminal Automation” Navis customer survey, 94% of respondents agreed that artificial intelligence and machine learning would be critical to improve optimization at automated terminals at some level in the near future. These offerings, along with other innovative technology, will help terminals maximize operational results across the inland and ocean shipping industries and uncover new insights for strategic business outcomes.
   
   
3. Automation adoption at terminals will accelerate: Automation has been on the rise in the industry for several years, however, terminals are now more rapidly turning to the technology to up level productivity and keep up with the changing industry landscape in an effort to remain competitive. According to the Navis “Automation 2020: Perceptions, challenges and opportunities for Container Terminal Automation” customer survey, 94% believe it will be important for terminals to automate operations in the next 3-5 years. Additionally, 70% of terminals believe automation could increase productivity by 15% or more, with increased operational safety (82%) and lower overall terminal operation costs (73%) as its biggest benefits, proving the importance of incorporating it in the overall business plan.
   
   
4. Increase focus on sustainable operations: With the bigger focus on the supply chain this year, many companies have been forced to reevaluate their logistics strategies to ensure assets are being used to deliver value for the business and the environment. In the first half of 2020, decreased traffic at congested ports and terminals around the world had a positive impact on the air quality and environment, reinforcing the longer-term sustainability trend we were already seeing. Innovative technology to help terminals monitor operations to run more efficiently and the use of rail instead of trucks for transport, are expected to be on the rise to help ports and terminals achieve more sustainable outcomes.
   
   “Power usage efficiency, electrification and more eco-friendly fuels are part of the sustainability mission, however, the software solutions behind the equipment are an important piece of the puzzle to help terminals extend their reach towards higher sustainability goals,” said Andy Barrons, Chief Strategy Officer at Navis. “There was already a trend toward more green operations pre-pandemic, and now that we have seen the true impact of excess emissions, I would expect consideration for the environment in supply chain strategies will become more prominent in the coming year.”

Piloting of blockchain technology affirms commitment to innovation, sustainability, and transparent biomass supply chains

BETHESDA, Md. & RENO, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Enviva, a leading global energy company specializing in sustainable wood bioenergy, and GoChain, a blockchain company that drives the adoption of impactful technology for the betterment of society and our habitat, announced the initial results of a pilot program designed to enhance the traceability of sustainable biomass.

The pilot program identified a select group of suppliers from Enviva’s wood sourcing regions in the U.S. Southeast to monitor various data elements such as: forest tract locations, load weights, fiber commodity types, and forest types. Leveraging GoChain’s blockchain, Enviva was able to monitor the movement of wood fiber in real-time from select forest tracts at the time of harvest to Enviva’s wood pellet production plants with a unique QR code. The pilot provided real-time geofencing, data analytics, and notification capabilities. In total, more than 1,000 loads of biomass were delivered from the forest to the production plant and recorded “on-chain” during the pilot.

The results of the pilot yielded considerable insights and the pilot has the potential to further augment the accuracy of Enviva’s proprietary Track & Trace® (T&T®) system, which provides publicly available data and tracks exactly where the low-value wood used in the production of Enviva biomass comes from. The initial pilot is among the largest-scale, if not the largest-scale, pilot of blockchain technology to date in the global biomass industry. Given the pilot’s success, Enviva anticipates further exploration and piloting of blockchain technology.

Enviva elected to partner with GoChain on the pilot program because of their dedication to sustainability and innovative green technologies. GoChain has developed a unique, highly scalable and secure blockchain solution that is among the greenest and most energy efficient on the market. It uses a ‘Proof of Reputation’ consensus model for processing transactions. GoChain partners with highly reputable institutions such as universities, global enterprises, and NGOs, which function as blockchain signing nodes for the GoChain blockchain protocol. These organizations have set high business standards and believe in the use of technology for the improvement of society and the environment.

Blockchain has emerged as a powerful solution for realizing data-driven insights and granular transparency of global value chains. The use of blockchain technology as a single source of truth not only serves to eliminate unnecessary middlemen and provide transparency in supply chains but also enables the robust real-time audit of secure, time-stamped transactions recorded on an immutable ledger. Blockchain helps to proliferate trust and to verify claims among multiple stakeholders, particularly when relying on legacy, centralized systems with opaque, siloed data. This is especially true when verifying and evaluating claims and certifications within a supply chain. Blockchain is quickly proving to be essential for accelerating certification milestones and ensuring the validity of sustainability governance such as verifying claims of organic and chemical-free products, ethically-sourced seafood or beef, or in the case of Enviva, the sustainability signature of its responsibly sourced wood.

• Materially improves financial flexibility and pro forma leverage to approximately 2.0 times
• Maintains annual coverage ratio of 1.2 times or greater on all distributions and strengthens stability of underlying cash flows
• Expected to generate $1.5 to $2.5 million in additional annual corporate savings and reduce annual maintenance capital expenditures to $5.5 to $6.5 million

TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blueknight Energy Partners, L.P. (“Blueknight” or the “Partnership”) (Nasdaq: BKEP and BKEPP) announced today that it has entered into multiple definitive agreements to sell its crude oil terminalling, pipeline, and trucking business segments for approximately $162 million in total cash consideration, including estimated crude oil linefill and inventory. Net proceeds, after transaction costs, will be used initially to reduce borrowings outstanding under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes.

“This announcement represents a significant milestone as we transition Blueknight away from traditional oil and gas operations into a pure-play, downstream terminalling business focused on infrastructure and transportation end markets,” said Andrew Woodward, Chief Executive Officer. “We are excited about the financial flexibility to both materially improve our balance sheet and pursue future investment opportunities predicated on risk-adjusted returns while maintaining our long-term financial targets.”

“Pro forma for the transactions, Blueknight’s differentiated, asphalt terminalling business delivers an industry-leading, stable cash flow profile underpinned by long-term, take-or-pay contracts with a weighted average term of six years. Our leverage ratio is expected to be approximately 2.0 times initially, and our coverage ratio on all distributions is expected to be approximately 1.2 times or greater on an annual basis. We believe these transactions, coupled with our new and improved strategy, best position the Partnership for long-term growth and success,” added Woodward.

Woodward concluded, “I would also like to express my deepest thanks to all the employees who have supported these operations over the years and during this time of transition. On behalf of the entire organization, we sincerely appreciate all of your hard work and continued dedication.”

Blueknight entered into a definitive agreement to sell its crude oil terminalling segment to Enbridge, Inc. (NYSE: ENB) for a purchase price of $132 million, subject to customary adjustments and excluding crude oil linefill and inventory. This segment includes approximately 6.6 million barrels of crude oil storage in Cushing, Oklahoma.

• The Company generated net sales of $20.3 million for the third quarter

• Net loss was $2.9 million in the third quarter

• Backlog stood at $47.7 million on October 31, 2020 compared to $46.7 million on January 31, 2020

NILES, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PPIH) announced today financial results for the third quarter ended October 31, 2020.

“Third quarter revenue was $20.3 million, $14.2 million below the same quarter last year, and net loss was $2.9 million compared to a net loss of $0.1 million in the same quarter of 2019,” noted President and CEO David Mansfield.

"During the quarter the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has continued to negatively impact our revenues. In the current environment, capital spending in the oil and gas industry remains low, and project schedules in the construction industry continue to be delayed. These are important drivers of Perma-Pipe’s markets. The medium term view however remains the same, and many delayed projects are awaiting the recovery and the easing of restrictions brought about by the pandemic. In recent weeks, we have seen an increase in the level of bidding activity and project awards, and major projects that were stalled appear to now be reinvigorated. While there is news that an effective COVID-19 vaccine might be on the near horizon, it is difficult to determine the timing of any recovery of the global economy.” Mr. Mansfield continued.

"In response to these changing conditions, we have implemented and continue to maintain cost control measures which have helped partially offset the negative impact of the significant reductions in revenue. Our focus on cost control efforts will continue while market conditions remain depressed, and we will manage our business to the current activity level with a goal to be positioned to take advantage of the recovery.” Mr. Mansfield continued.

“Some positive news to report is that we continue with our longer term plans that are focused on future growth. We recently commissioned a new custom coating plant at our UAE facility that will serve the oil and gas and water industries with products and services not previously provided by Perma-Pipe. We have already secured our first contract, which should be executed during the forthcoming quarter, and which serves as confirmation that we are filling a needed gap in capabilities to serve those markets. We are also currently in the process of installing a similar plant at our facility in India.” added Mr. Mansfield

"Our backlog currently stands at $47.7 million, which reflects an increase of $1.0 million from the backlog at January 31. After a quarter of increased bidding activity, there has been a meaningful increase to the backlog for our MENA region, particularly at our recently established plant in Egypt.” Mr. Mansfield concluded.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results

Net sales were $20.3 million in the current quarter, a decrease of $14.2 million, or 41%, from $34.5 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was a result of lower sales volumes in the Company's Canadian and offshore Gulf of Mexico businesses driven by the impact of lower oil prices, combined with a reduction in sales in the Company's U.S. and Middle East district heating and cooling businesses caused by project delays arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit decreased to $2.9 million, or 14% of net sales, in the current quarter from $7.6 million, or 22% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This decrease was driven primarily by lower sales volumes.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $4.5 million in the current quarter from $4.6 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease was driven primarily by cost cutting measures enacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Selling expenses decreased to $1.2 million in the current quarter, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year quarter due primarily to lower personnel costs.

Net interest expense decreased to $0.1 million in the current quarter, compared to $0.2 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease was due to lower borrowings during the period.

Other income/(expense) decreased to an expense of less than $0.1 million in the current quarter, compared to income of $0.1 million in the prior year quarter. This decrease was driven by the encashment of a $0.6 million performance bond securing one of the Company's contracts with a customer in Qatar. The Company believes the customer's claims of non-performance under the contract are invalid and that the customer's actions were themselves a breach of the contract. The Company has engaged local counsel to seek reimbursement as well as additional compensation for lost profits suffered as a result of cancellation of certain work orders under the contract. This expense was partially offset by funds received under the CEWS program in Canada.

Income/(loss) from operations before income taxes decreased by $4.4 million to a loss of $2.9 million in the current quarter from income of $1.5 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was a result of lower sales volumes in the Company's Canadian and offshore Gulf of Mexico businesses driven by the impact of lower oil prices, combined with a reduction in sales in the Company's U.S. and Middle East district heating and cooling businesses caused by project delays arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company's worldwide effective tax rates ("ETR") were 0.8% and 127.8% in the current quarter and the prior year quarter, respectively. The change in the ETR from the prior year quarter to the current year quarter is due to the impact of tax rates in various jurisdictions and the changing mix of taxable income and loss in those jurisdictions, as well as the impact of the lower current quarter pre-tax income as compared to the prior year quarter.

The resulting net loss of $2.8 million in the current quarter was a decline of $2.7 million over the net loss of $0.1 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease was a result of lower sales volumes in the Company's Canadian and offshore Gulf of Mexico businesses driven by the impact of lower oil prices, combined with a reduction in sales in the Company's U.S. and Middle East district heating and cooling businesses caused by project delays arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Year-to-Date October 31, 2020 Results

Net sales were $63.4 million in the current year-to-date, a decrease of $32.0 million, or 34%, from $95.4 million in the prior year year-to-date. The decrease was a result of lower sales volumes in the Company's Canadian and offshore Gulf of Mexico businesses driven by the impact of lower oil prices combined with project delays in the Company's U.S. and Middle East district heating and cooling businesses arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit decreased to $8.8 million, or 14% of net sales, in the current year-to-date from $22.0 million, or 23% of net sales, in the prior year year-to-date. This decrease was driven primarily by lower sales volumes.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $13.3 million in the current year-to-date from $13.9 million in the prior year year-to-date. This decrease was driven primarily by cost cutting measures enacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Selling expenses increased to $4.2 million in the current year-to-date, compared to $4.0 million in the prior year year-to-date, an increase of $0.2 million, or 3%. This increase was primarily due to the addition of new sales employees and severance payments for terminated employees.

Net interest expense decreased to $0.4 million in the current year-to-date, compared to $0.6 million in the prior year year-to-date. This decrease was due to lower borrowings during the period.

Other income/(expense) increased to income of $3.7 million in the current year-to-date, compared to income of $0.4 million in the prior year year-to-date, an increase of $3.3 million. This increase was primarily the result of recognition of the Company's reasonable expectation of forgiveness of its PPP loan proceeds during the period of $3.2 million, as well as funds received under the CEWS program in Canada. These amounts were offset partially by the encashment of a performance bond securing one of the Company's contracts with a customer in Qatar. The Company believes the customer's claims of non-performance under the contract are invalid and that the customer's actions were themselves a breach of the contract. The Company has engaged local counsel to seek reimbursement as well as additional compensation for lost profits suffered as a result of cancellation of certain work orders under the contract.

Income/(loss) from operations before income taxes decreased by $9.2 million to a loss of $5.4 million in the current year-to-date from income of $3.8 million in the prior year year-to-date. The decrease was a result of lower sales volumes in the Company's Canadian and offshore Gulf of Mexico businesses driven by the impact of lower oil prices, combined with a reduction in sales in the Company's U.S. and Middle East district heating and cooling businesses caused by project delays arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company's worldwide ETRs were 6.2% and 48.6% in the current year-to-date and the prior year year-to-date, respectively. The change in the ETR from the prior year year-to-date to the current year year-to-date is due to the impact of tax rates in various jurisdictions and the changing mix of taxable income and loss in those jurisdictions.

The resulting net loss of $5.1 million in the current year-to-date was a decline of $7.2 million over the net income of $2.1 million in the prior year year-to-date. The decrease was a result of lower sales volumes in the Company's Canadian and offshore Gulf of Mexico businesses driven by the impact of lower oil prices, combined with a reduction in sales in the Company's U.S. and Middle East district heating and cooling businesses caused by project delays arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

bp to Provide $50 million for Development and Construction of Renewable Natural Gas Production Facilities

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$CLNE #RNG--Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Nasdaq: CLNE) today announced plans that it will work with BP Products North America Inc., a subsidiary of BP p.l.c. (NYSE: BP), to develop, own and operate new renewable natural gas (RNG) facilities at dairies and other agriculture facilities that will produce one of the cleanest fuels in the world.

Carbon emissions captured from dairies and turned into a transportation fuel reduce the harmful effects on long-term climate change. As a result, the California Air Resources Board gives these carbon-negative RNG projects a CI Score (gCO2e/MJ) of -250 (or lower) compared to 97 for diesel and 46 for electric batteries. The demand for this carbon-negative fuel has significantly accelerated over the last few years. Some of the largest heavy-duty fleets in the world such as UPS, Republic Services, New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority and LA Metro, among others, are currently and successfully operating tens of thousands of vehicles on RNG.

Clean Energy is the largest provider of RNG as a transportation fuel in the United States and Canada, the largest RNG fuel provider under the California LCFS program and currently has a joint RNG marketing agreement with bp established in 2018. In addition to the carbon-negative fuel, Clean Energy will continue to source RNG from other providers to supply its network of 550 fueling stations in North America and maintain its leadership position in the California LCFS market. This also marks another strong step in Clean Energy’s ambition to meet the rapidly growing demand by customers for carbon-negative RNG and to deliver 100% Redeem™ branded RNG to its entire fueling infrastructure by 2025, which Clean Energy is well on its way to achieving.

“Carbon-negative RNG is being used today by thousands of vehicles with more and more fleets requesting it every week,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, CEO and president of Clean Energy. “Taking this next step allows us to expand the availability of the fuel while providing dairy owners with a way to make a significant impact on the environment and create an additional revenue stream.”

Clean Energy has made noteworthy commitments to transforming the way the transportation industry powers vehicles to have less of an impact on long-term climate change and believes the use of carbon-negative RNG is the most immediate, cost-effective and has the greatest effect of any alternative. Clean Energy has already identified potential RNG-producing projects and has plans to deploy funds for development and construction expenses in 2021.

For more information, refer to Clean Energy’s Form 8-K.

About Clean Energy

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. is the leading provider of the cleanest fuel for the transportation market in the United States and Canada. Through its sales of Redeem™ renewable natural gas (RNG), which is derived from capturing biogenic methane produced from decomposing organic waste, Clean Energy allows thousands of vehicle fleets, from airport shuttles to city buses to waste and heavy-duty trucks, to reduce their amount of climate-harming greenhouse gas by at least 70% and even up to 300% depending on the source of the RNG. Clean Energy can deliver Redeem through compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquified natural gas (LNG) to its network of approximately 540 fueling stations across the U.S. and Canada. Clean Energy builds and operates CNG and LNG fueling stations for the transportation market, owns natural gas liquefication facilities in California and Texas, and transports bulk CNG and LNG to non-transportation customers around the U.S. For more information, visit www.CleanEnergyFuels.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, such as statements regarding, among other things: the completion and timing of the JV; Clean Energy’s plans for its RNG business; increased market adoption of carbon-negative RNG as a vehicle fuel; growth in Clean Energy’s customer base for its Redeem™ RNG vehicle fuel; the strength of Clean Energy’s vehicle fueling infrastructure and its ability to leverage this infrastructure to increase sales of Redeem™ vehicle fuel and to deliver 100% Redeem™ branded RNG to its entire fueling infrastructure by 2025; the benefits of RNG as an alternative vehicle fuel, including economic and environmental benefits; and growth in and certainty of supply of RNG.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nuverra Environmental Solutions, Inc. (NYSE American: NES) (“Nuverra,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) announced today that its board of directors (the “Board”) has approved the adoption of a limited duration stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) to protect stockholder interests and maximize value for all stockholders.

The Rights Plan is similar to plans adopted by other public companies and is designed to ensure that no person or group can gain a control or control-like position in the Company’s stock through open market accumulations or other tactics potentially disadvantaging the interests of the stockholders without negotiating with the Board and without paying an appropriate control premium to all stockholders of the Company. The rights will be issued to stockholders of record on January 4, 2021. The Rights Plan will expire on December 21, 2021. The Board will consider an earlier termination of the Rights Plan if market and other conditions warrant.

The Rights Plan is intended to position the Board to fulfill its fiduciary duties on behalf of all stockholders by ensuring that the Board has sufficient time to make informed judgments that are in the best long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders. The issuance of the rights does not in any way diminish the financial strength of the Company or interfere with its business plans. The Rights Plan is not designed to prevent any action that the Board determines to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

The Rights Plan provides for the issuance of one right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. In general, the rights will become exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 45% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock or announces a tender or exchange offer that would result in beneficial ownership of 45% or more of the Company’s common stock.

If a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 45% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock, each right will entitle holders, other than the acquiring person or group, to purchase common stock of the Company having a market value of twice the exercise price. The Rights Plan also includes an exchange option. If a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 45% or more of the outstanding common stock, the Board may at its option exchange the rights at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock per right.

If a stockholder beneficially owns 45% or more of the Company’s common stock at the time of the adoption of the Rights Plan, such stockholder’s ownership will be grandfathered, but the rights would become exercisable if such stockholder subsequently increases its ownership by one share.

The Rights Plan also includes a qualifying offer provision, which allows stockholders to require the Board to call a special meeting to vote on a pending offer, provided the offer meets certain qualifying criteria.

Additional details regarding the Rights Plan are contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that ConocoPhillips or Concho expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Words and phrases such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target” and other similar words can be used to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Where, in any forward-looking statement, ConocoPhillips or Concho expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to be reasonable at the time such forward-looking statement is made. However, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and other factors beyond ConocoPhillips’ and Concho’s control. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. The following important factors and uncertainties, among others, could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those included in this press release. These include the ability to successfully integrate Concho’s businesses and technologies; the risk that the expected benefits and synergies of the Merger may not be fully achieved in a timely manner, or at all; the risk that ConocoPhillips or Concho will be unable to retain and hire key personnel; the risk associated with ConocoPhillips’ and Concho’s ability to obtain the approvals of the respective stockholders required to consummate the Merger and the timing of the closing of the Merger, including the risk that the conditions to the Merger are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all or the failure of the Merger to close for any other reason or to close on the anticipated terms;

Receives regulatory approvals, finalizes midstream transaction

ANCHORAGE, Alaska--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Harvest Alaska (Harvest), completed its acquisition of BP Pipelines (Alaska) Inc.’s (BP) midstream ownership interests today, following approval by the Regulatory Commission of Alaska on December 14^th. Harvest immediately acquires BP’s approximately 49 percent interest in the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) and 49 percent of Alyeska Service Company (Alyeska) and other Alaska midstream interests. Alyeska will continue to operate the pipeline as it has for decades.

“The completion of this acquisition is a critical milestone for Harvest,” said Jason Rebrook, Chief Executive Officer of Harvest Midstream. “TAPS is an icon of American ingenuity and has a proven track record of safe and responsible operations with strong relationships in the communities it touches. We are committed to positively building upon this great legacy and we look forward to partnering with Alyeska, other TAPS owners, and the State of Alaska for years to come.”

The 800-mile-pipeline system, one of the largest pipelines in the world, transports oil from the North Slope of Alaska to the northern most ice-free port in Valdez, Alaska. The system has a capacity of approximately 1.1 million barrels per day and runs from the Prudhoe Bay oilfield to the Valdez Marine Terminal. To date, the TAPS system has transported more than 18 billion barrels of product.

"Harvest has achieved several significant milestones this year including this historic acquisition as well as our first public bond offering, raising $600 million in new capital,” Rebrook continued. "I’m proud of our team for their hard work and look forward to continuing to build Harvest together as a leading midstream operator in Alaska for years to come.”
