Business Wire News

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mesa Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) (NYSE: MTR) announced today that there will be no distribution paid for the month of November 2021 to holders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2021, as costs, charges and expenses attributable to the Trust’s royalty properties, and applicable reserves, exceeded the revenue received from the sale of oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbons produced from such properties, as reported by the working interest owners.

The Trust was formed to own an overriding royalty interest of the net proceeds attributable to certain producing oil and gas properties located in the Hugoton field of Kansas and the San Juan Basin fields of New Mexico and Colorado. As described in the Trust's public filings, the amount of the monthly distributions is expected to fluctuate from month to month, depending on the proceeds, if any, received by the Trust as a result of production, oil and natural gas prices and the amount of the Trust’s administrative expenses, among other factors. In addition, as further described in the Trust’s most recent filing on Form 10-Q, unitholders may not receive any material distributions during the remainder of 2021 and beyond, because the Trust intends to increase cash reserves from $1.0 million to a total of $2.0 million to provide added liquidity.

Proceeds reported by the working interest owners for any month are not generally representative of net proceeds that will be received by the Trust in future periods. As further described in the Trust’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings, production and development costs for the royalty interest have resulted in substantial accumulated excess production costs, which will decrease Trust distributions, and in some periods may result in no Trust distributions. The amount of proceeds, if any, received or expected to be received by the Trust (and its ability to pay distributions to unitholders) has been and will continue to be directly affected, among other things, by volatility in the industry and revenues and expenses reported to the Trust by working interest owners. Any additional expenses and adjustments, among other things, will reduce proceeds to the Trust, which will reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to unitholders and in certain periods could result in no distributions to unitholders.

This press release contains forward-looking statements. No assurances can be given that the expectations contained in this press release will prove to be correct. The working interest owners alone control historical operating data, and handle receipt and payment of funds relating to the royalty properties and payments to the Trust for the related royalty. The Trustee cannot assure that errors or adjustments or expenses accrued by the working interest owners, whether historical or future, will not affect future royalty income and distributions by the Trust. Other important factors that could cause these statements to differ materially include delays in actual results of drilling operations, risks inherent in drilling and production of oil and gas properties, declines in commodity pricing, prices received by working interest owners and other risks described in the Trust’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Statements made in this press release are qualified by the cautionary statements made in such risk factors. The Trust does not intend, and assumes no obligations, to update any of the statements included in this press release. Each unitholder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to its particular circumstances.

Successful Deployment of Industry-first Technology Sets New Standard for Installation of XL Foundations into Rock



ANTWERP, Belgium & ST-NAZAIRE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DEME Offshore, member of DEME Group, the global civil and maritime engineering solutions provider, today announced that it has reached its halfway mark installation milestone with the foundation installation of the Saint-Nazaire offshore wind farm in France. Today’s announcement follows DEME’s August announcement regarding the on-time delivery of the St Nazaire offshore substation.

“Today’s achievement is a testament to the commitment of our entire team and solidifies our reputation as the number one wind farm contractor in the world. Not only are we the first to install a wind farm in rock with industry-first technology, the Saint-Nazaire project is also being carried out in harsh Atlantic conditions. Together with our client Parc éolien en mer de Saint-Nazaire and our partner Eiffage Métal, we will continue our excellent cooperation for the remaining foundations,” says Bart De Poorter, General Manager DEME Offshore.

Having started construction in spring 2021, 40 out of a total of 80 XL foundations are now installed in record times. The successful deployment of DEME’s industry-first technology is setting a new industry standard for efficient Offshore Wind installation projects in challenging marine conditions and solid rock.

For the installation of the Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind Farm, DEME Offshore for the first time is deploying its 350-tonne Offshore Foundation Drill (OFD) and tailor-made ‘MODIGA’, another DEME innovation and industry-first technology which allows encapsulating the drilling and installation operations and shields them from the adverse Atlantic marine conditions.

Whereas the OFD was developed with Herrenknecht, a global leader in tunnel boring machines, the design and development of the MODIGA happened together with TMS, a leading offshore equipment manufacturer.

The complete technological solution is being deployed from DEME Offshore’s installation vessel ‘Innovation’.

Viridos low-carbon intensity biofuels may substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions while providing a sustainable and scalable option to help reduce GHG emissions in heavy-duty transportation

LA JOLLA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Viridos Inc., previously Synthetic Genomics, a privately held biotechnology company harnessing the power of photosynthesis to create transformative solutions to help mitigate climate change, has signed a joint development agreement with ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company (“ExxonMobil”) with the intent to bring Viridos’ low-carbon intensity biofuels toward commercial levels.


“We’re excited to announce that ExxonMobil is continuing this collaboration with us to bring sustainable algae biofuels technology closer to commercial deployment,” said Viridos’ CEO, Dr. Oliver Fetzer. “The recent productivity advances in Viridos’ technology are an opportunity to turn CO2 into renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuels, providing an essential component for the decarbonization of the heavy-duty transportation industry. In this next phase of the program, we intend to broaden participation and invite others to build the ecosystem required for full-scale deployment.”

Founded in 2005 by leaders in synthetic biology, Viridos quickly established itself as a powerhouse for innovative research, transplanting the first genome, synthesizing the first bacterial genome and creating the first synthetic cell. In the past few years Viridos’ leadership in engineering microalgae has achieved greater than 5x bio-oil productivity increases by increasing both the oil content in the algae and the algae yield. The results from outdoor deployment of Viridos’ bio-engineered strains in 2020 and 2021 mark the inflection point toward deployment.

These advancements in bioengineering have positioned Viridos to be the leading enterprise in algal technology with the potential to facilitate significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the heavy transportation sector. Viridos’ continued partnership with ExxonMobil seeks to build out the technology and agronomy to enable the commercial launch of Viridos’ low-carbon intensity algae biofuels. In addition to their use in heavy transport, the algae biofuels could be used for aviation, commercial trucking, and maritime shipping. The terms of the renewed partnership with ExxonMobil should enable other interested parties to access and advance the technology to accelerate the deployment of Viridos’ patented technology in pursuit of lowering global GHG emissions.

“Our research with Viridos is one facet of our approach to help society identify and deploy the biofuels needed to reduce emissions from important sectors of the economy, including heavy duty transportation,” said Vijay Swarup, vice president of Research and Development at ExxonMobil. “ExxonMobil has supported Viridos in the development of advanced bioengineering tools, and we look forward to further advancements in the research that shows potential to help society mitigate the risks of climate change.”

About Viridos

Viridos (formerly Synthetic Genomics, Inc) is a privately held biotechnology company harnessing the power of photosynthesis to create transformative solutions to mitigate climate change. Our unparalleled understanding of algal genetics and ability to translate innovation from lab to field underpins our initial deployment: a scalable platform to produce low-carbon intensity biofuels for aviation, commercial trucking, and maritime shipping. Building on a legacy of genomic firsts, our team of scientists and engineers are shaping new pathways toward a sustainable bioeconomy.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PNC Bank, National Association, as the successor trustee (the “Trustee”) of the San Juan Basin Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) (NYSE: SJT), today declared a monthly cash distribution to the holders of its Units of beneficial interest (the “Unit Holders”) of $6,982,507.89 or $0.149811 per Unit, based primarily upon the reported production during the month of September 2021 and nonrecurring reimbursements to the Trust from prior month actualizations and adjustments, plus interest. The distribution is payable December 14, 2021, to Unit Holders of record as of November 30, 2021.

For the production month of September 2021, the operator of the Trust’s subject interests, Hilcorp San Juan L.P. (“Hilcorp”), reported to the Trust net profits of $9,520,577 ($7,140,432 net royalty amount to the Trust).

Hilcorp reported $7,603,853 of revenue for the production month of September 2021. This includes September revenues of $7,779,357 and revenue actualizations for the January, February, March, and April 2021 production months which decreased revenues by $668,950. The reporting month of September 2021 also includes other revenues of $493,446 which includes $203,196 in nonrecurring additional revenue related to granted audit exceptions and interest, an estimate of $100,000 for non-operated income, and $190,250 of interest due to the Trust from prior actualizations and adjustments.

Hilcorp reported a credit of $1,916,724 of production costs for the production month of September 2021. This includes September production costs of $3,140,651, which is made up of $2,057,967 of lease operating expense, $1,078,450 of severance taxes and $4,234 of capital costs. Production costs also include credits of $1,482,014 for the severance tax actualizations for the January, February, March, and April 2021 production months, as well as credits of $3,575,361 for nonrecurring corrections of January through July 2021 lease operating expenses. Hilcorp informed the Trust that it had discovered errors made in the setup of a few of its general ledger accounts during its SAP conversion process. Specifically, Hilcorp stated that these accounts had been mislabeled as billable, including three of the Trust’s general ledger accounts. Hilcorp believes that it has now corrected its accounting internal control systems.

Based upon information Hilcorp provided to the Trust, gas volumes for the subject interests for September 2021 totaled 167,812 Mcf (186,458 MMBtu), including a credit for actualized volumes of 1,952,591 Mcf (2,169,545 MMBtu) due to the actualization of January through April 2021 revenues. For the production month of September 2021, excluding actualizations, gas production for the subject interests totaled 2,120,403 Mcf (2,356,003 MMBtu), as compared to 2,171,709 Mcf (2,413,010 MMBtu) for August 2021. Dividing revenues by production volume, excluding actualizations, yielded an average gas price for September 2021 of $3.60 per Mcf ($3.24 per MMBtu), as compared to an average gas price for August 2021 of $3.37 per Mcf ($3.04 per MMBtu).

Hilcorp has informed the Trust that it has completed the implementation of its new accounting system. Hilcorp began reporting actual, instead of estimated, production for the June 2021 production month (August 2021 Trust reporting month) and it will report actual production going forward. The remaining months of non-operated revenue and non-operated severance tax actualizations for prior periods will be accounted for and reported in future distribution reports. At this time, the amount of these actualizations is unknown. The Trustee will coordinate with Hilcorp on the timing of any further actualizations and will communicate that timing to Unit Holders.

The Trustee continues to engage with Hilcorp regarding its ongoing accounting and reporting to the Trust, and the Trust’s third-party compliance auditors continue to audit all payments made by Hilcorp to the Trust, including adjustments, actualizations, and recoupments. The Trustee continues to consult with outside counsel to review the rights of the Trust with respect to these matters and to evaluate any available potential legal remedies.

ABOUT UGI

Through subsidiaries, UGI operates natural gas and electric utilities in Pennsylvania, natural gas utilities in West Virginia, distributes LPG both domestically (through AmeriGas) and internationally (through UGI International), manages midstream energy assets in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia and electric generation assets in Pennsylvania, and engages in energy marketing, including renewable natural gas in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and California and internationally in France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK.

Comprehensive information about UGI Corporation is available on the Internet at https://www.ugicorp.com.

USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
Management uses “adjusted net income attributable to UGI Corporation” and "adjusted diluted earnings per share," both of which are non-GAAP financial measures, when evaluating UGI's overall performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to investors about UGI’s performance because they eliminate the impacts of (1) gains and losses on commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions and (2) other significant discrete items that can affect the comparison of period-over-period results. Volatility in net income at UGI can occur as a result of gains and losses on commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments not associated with current-period transactions but included in earnings in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measures.

Tables on the last page reconcile net income attributable to UGI Corporation, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted net income attributable to UGI Corporation, and diluted earnings per share, the most comparable GAAP measure, to adjusted diluted earnings per share, to reflect the adjustments referred to above.

1 Reportable segments earnings before interest expense and income taxes represents an aggregate of our reportable operating segment level EBIT as determined in accordance with GAAP.
2 The shares associated with the $220 million equity units issued in May 2021 were previously accounted for using the treasury stock method (in accordance with market practice at the time) and excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding. Fiscal 2021 results and fiscal 2022 guidance include the dilutive impact of adding underlying shares to our calculation using the if-converted method.
3 Because we are unable to predict certain potentially material items affecting diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis, principally mark-to-market gains and losses on commodity and certain foreign currency derivative instruments we cannot reconcile the fiscal year 2022 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance, a non-GAAP measure, to diluted earnings per share guidance, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in reliance on the “unreasonable efforts” exception set forth in SEC rules.

USE OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains statements, estimates and projections that are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Management believes that these are reasonable as of today’s date only. Actual results may differ significantly because of risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond management’s control. You should read UGI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more extensive list of factors that could affect results. Among them are adverse weather conditions (including increasingly uncertain weather patterns due to climate change) and the seasonal nature of our business; cost volatility and availability of all energy products, including propane, natural gas, electricity and fuel oil as well as the availability of LPG cylinders; increased customer conservation measures; the impact of pending and future legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations, liability for uninsured claims and for claims in excess of insurance coverage; domestic and international political, regulatory and economic conditions in the United States and in foreign countries, including the current conflicts in the Middle East and the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (particularly the euro); the timing of development of Marcellus and Utica Shale gas production; the availability, timing and success of our acquisitions, commercial initiatives and investments to grow our business; our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and achieve anticipated synergies; the interruption, disruption, failure, malfunction, or breach of our information technology systems, including due to cyber-attack; the inability to complete pending or future energy infrastructure projects; our ability to achieve the operational benefits and cost efficiencies expected from the completion of pending and future transformation initiatives including the impact of customer disruptions resulting in potential customer loss due to the transformation activities; uncertainties related to the global pandemics, including the duration and/or impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; and the extent to which we are able to utilize certain tax benefits currently available under the CARES Act and similar tax legislation and whether such benefits will remain available in the future.

  • Retail gallons sold decreased 2% compared to Fiscal 2020 primarily due to the effects of COVID-19 on commercial volumes, structural conservation, and other residual volume loss.
  • Total margin decreased $24 million primarily reflecting lower retail volumes sold and lower non-propane margin principally due to lower fees and services, partially offset by higher average propane margins including effective margin management efforts.
  • Operating and administrative expenses decreased by $21 million in Fiscal 2021 primarily due to benefits achieved from the LPG transformation initiatives.
  • Operating income and EBIT increased $12 million reflecting higher other income, lower operating and administrative expenses and lower depreciation expenses, partially offset by lower total margin.

The functional currency of a significant portion of our UGI International results is the euro and, to a much lesser extent, the British pound sterling. During Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, the average unweighted euro-to-dollar translation rates were $1.20 and $1.12, respectively, and the average unweighted British pound sterling-to-dollar translation rate were $1.37 and $1.28, respectively.

  • Total LPG retail volume increased 5% largely due to weather that was 14.1% colder than the prior-year. The increased volume reflects higher bulk volumes including the recovery of certain volume decreases due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Total margin increased $145 million primarily due to higher retail LPG gallons sold, higher average LPG unit margins including the effects of margin management efforts, and the translation effects of the stronger euro.
  • Operating and administrative expenses increased $77 million reflecting higher costs attributable to increased volumes and the translation effects of the stronger euro.
  • Operating income increased $73 million due to higher total margin partially offset by the increase in operating and administrative expenses, and reflects the translation effects of the stronger euro ($38 million).
  • EBIT increased $58 million due to the higher operating income, partially offset by lower realized gains on foreign currency exchange contracts ($14 million).

  • Total margin increased $18 million in Fiscal 2021 reflecting increased margins from capacity management ($24 million) largely driven by the timing of mark to market contract settlements, gas gathering activities and renewable energy marketing activities ($7 million). These increases were partially offset by the absence of margins attributable to HVAC and Conemaugh that were divested in Fiscal 2020 ($29 million).
  • Operating and administrative expenses decreased $11 million largely due to lower expenses attributable to the divested assets, partially offset by higher employee and benefit-related costs and expenses for new assets placed into service.
  • Operating income increased $20 million compared to the prior year reflecting higher total margin and lower operating and administrative expenses, partially offset by an adjustment to the contingent consideration related to the GHI acquisition ($9 million).
  • EBIT increased $22 million primarily due to an increase in operating income and incremental equity income from the investment in Pine Run.

  • Natural gas core market throughput increased 3% reflecting continued customer growth, recovery of certain volume decreases attributable to COVID-19 and incremental volume from the Mountaineer acquisition.
  • Total margin increased $39 million during Fiscal 2021 due to higher natural gas margin ($34 million) and Electric Utility. The increase in total natural gas margin reflects higher core market margin ($18 million) including the effects of the increase in base rates that became effective in 2021 as part of a phased approach, margin from the Mountaineer acquisition ($6 million) and large delivery service customers.
  • Operating and administrative expenses increased $15 million reflecting the impact of the Mountaineer acquisition ($7 million) and higher contracted labor expenses and employee costs.
  • Depreciation expense increased $14 million due to increased distribution system and IT capital expenditure activity and the incremental impact of Mountaineer.
  • EBIT increased $13 million reflecting higher total margin ($39 million) partially offset by increased operating and administrative expenses ($15 million) and depreciation expense ($14 million).

(a) Total margin represents total revenue less total cost of sales. In the case of UGI Utilities, total margin is also reduced by certain revenue-related taxes. In the case of UGI International, total margin represents total revenues less total cost of sales and in Fiscal 2020, LPG cylinder filling costs of $28 million. For financial statement purposes, LPG cylinder filling costs in Fiscal 2020 are included in "Operating and administrative expenses" on the Consolidated Statements of Income (but excluded from operating and administrative expenses presented above). For financial statement purposes, LPG cylinder filling costs in Fiscal 2021 are included in "Cost of Sales".
(b) Includes Mountaineer Gas Company acquired on September 1, 2021.

Facility will provide added grain handling convenience and flexibility for Sustainable Oils and its camelina growers in Montana

GREAT FALLS, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sustainable Oils, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX:GCEH), today announced the company has purchased 45 acres in Havre, Montana. The company is close to selecting its contractor to begin construction of the planned 600,000 bushel storage and rail loading facility for its proprietary camelina grain in the first-quarter 2022.


The Havre land acquisition and new facility further expands Sustainable Oils’ presence in Montana and creates significant logistical advantages at camelina harvest for both Sustainable Oils and its contract growers.

“Montana is the headquarters and epicenter for Sustainable Oils production in North America,” said Mike Karst, Sustainable Oils President . “A dedicated grain facility in Havre provides regional contract growers added convenience and flexibility for delivery and storage of harvested camelina. With our adjacent proximity to the CHS Big Sky-Havre rail siding, we will be able to directly load unit trains of our grain to streamline transportation logistics to GCEH’s biorefinery in Bakersfield, California or other extraction plants.”

Beginning in 2022, ExxonMobil has made a five-year commitment to purchase up to 220 million gallons of renewable diesel made from GCEH’s Bakersfield Renewable Fuels refinery in California. Sustainable Oils' long-term goal is to secure contracts to grow more than one million acres of Sustainable Oils’ camelina varieties across Montana and the High Plains.

About Sustainable Oils, Inc.

Sustainable Oils, Inc., GCEH’s wholly owned plant science subsidiary, owns an industry leading portfolio of intellectual property rights, including patents and production know-how, to produce its proprietary varieties of camelina as a nonfood based ultra-low carbon biofuels feedstock. Sustainable Oils, Inc. was formed in 2007 and its new headquarters is in Great Falls, Montana. More information can be found online at www.susoils.com.

About Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc.

Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (“GCEH”) is a uniquely positioned vertically integrated renewable fuels company. GCEH’s farm-to-fuel strategy has been in place since the inception of its business, to control the full integration of the entire biofuels supply chain from the development, production, processing, and transportation of feedstocks through to the refining and distribution of renewable fuels. GCEH is retooling and constructing its renewable diesel refinery in Bakersfield, California, which when completed in early 2022 will be the largest renewable fuels facility in the western United States and the largest in the country that produces renewable fuels from non-food-based feedstocks. More information can be found online at www.gceholdings.com.

  • INNIO backed power plant to use hydrogen byproduct produced onsite at co-located chemical plant
  • Pilot project expected to serve as a pivotal example of decarbonizing heavy industry in Asia Pacific (APAC)
  • Power plant project marks the first time that a 100% hydrogen-fueled power plant is to be built in APAC

ULSAN, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--INNIO today announced that Hyosung Heavy Industries (Hyosung) has selected INNIO Jenbacher ‘Ready for Hydrogen’ engine technology for the first pilot power plant project in APAC that will be fueled by 100% hydrogen. The pilot hydrogen power plant will be built at the Hyosung Chemical Yongyeon Plant in Ulsan, South Korea, setting a benchmark by becoming the first 100% hydrogen power plant to be operated in the region. It will run on hydrogen produced as a byproduct at the chemical plant that is normally sold off to an industrial gas company. The project is expected to achieve commercial operation in 3Q 2022 and complete the demonstration by end of 2022.



“INNIO has based its strategy on hydrogen becoming a driver of the energy transition, as it is uniquely positioned to shape a low- through no-carbon energy sector. INNIO launched its ‘Ready for Hydrogen’ portfolio to meet customers’ demands for sustainable solutions, such as at Hyosung, to establish hydrogen-based power generation. We are pleased to be their hydrogen engine technology partner of choice and to establish the first 100% hydrogen power plant in APAC,” said Olaf Berlien, president and CEO of INNIO. “We will continue our relentless focus to deliver INNIO technologies and services that will help our customers to reduce their carbon footprint down to zero.”

“Hyosung is striving to improve its impact on climate change by embracing the global energy transition. We have joined forces with INNIO to support our efforts to reduce carbon emissions while exploring commercial and sustainable opportunities related with our hydrogen byproduct production,” commented Park Jeong-Ha, General Manager at Hyosung. “Our climate change response strategies have set the goal of reducing emissions and energy consumption while increasing energy efficiency. INNIO Jenbacher provides the efficient and proven technology that helps us meet this goal.”

As a shaper of a low-carbon economy, INNIO is preparing for a secure, affordable, and climate-neutral energy future for everyone. The pilot power plant using INNIO Jenbacher technology, will be the second power plant in the 1-MW range that can be fueled with 100% hydrogen. INNIO is a hydrogen pioneer for more than 20 years, when the first Jenbacher 150-kilowatt pilot engine ran on 100 percent hydrogen at a demonstration plant in northern Germany. Two decades later, in 2020, after a number of additional demonstration projects, INNIO and HanseWerk Natur demonstrated the world’s first hydrogen engine using variable hydrogen and natural gas mixtures up to 100% hydrogen on an INNIO Jenbacher engine. The collaboration with Hyosung now marks a further milestone for INNIO to help drive the energy transition.

ADVA’s sustainable supplier program is part of its commitments based on the most ambitious goals of the COP26 Glasgow Climate Pact: limiting global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The company was one of the first telecommunication technology suppliers to have targets approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and the criteria for its new supplier program are in line with ADVA’s own sustainability goals. These are in turn checked by customers, including regular assessments with the TIA Assessor tool and EcoVadis ratings. To evaluate suppliers’ sustainability activities ADVA will leverage IntegrityNext software. ADVA will also work with its partner NORD/LB, which will ensure financial security by providing additional liquidity for the program.

“With our new initiative, we’re empowering our suppliers to make a significant difference. Our sustainable supplier program motivates them to reduce the environmental impact of their business and helps them achieve sustainable success. It will also make a decisive contribution to maintaining robust supply chains, especially in the current era of global material shortages,” commented Steven Williams, director, treasury and investor relations, ADVA. “Since 2017, ADVA has held a Gold TIA rating and last year we achieved our first EcoVadis Platinum rating. Now, we’re widening the scope of our efforts. Alongside our partners Traxpay and NORD/LB, we’re rewarding sustainable suppliers for their ESG activities and encouraging other companies to help tackle this most urgent challenge.”

Special Warrants Will Automatically Convert into Common Shares and Warrants on November 20th

Listing of New Warrants on the NEO Exchange Effective November 24th

Significant Cash Resources to Deploy Ambitious Investment Strategy

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$NETZ #NETZ--Carbon Streaming Corporation (NEO: NETZ) (OTCPink: OFSTF) (FSE: M2Q) (“Carbon Streaming” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the upcoming automatic conversion of the Company’s previously issued special warrants (the “Special Warrants”) effective as of November 20, 2021.


Highlights

  • Special Warrants will convert into underlying common shares and warrants on November 20, 2021.
  • The newly issued warrants will be listed on the Neo Exchange Inc. (the “NEO Exchange”) effective November 24, 2021 under the symbol NETZ.WT.B.
  • No action is required by holders of Special Warrants to receive their underlying Common Shares and July Warrants (as defined below).

“The funds from this placement continue to provide Carbon Streaming with significant cash resources to deploy in execution of its investment strategy,” noted Justin Cochrane, Chief Executive Officer of Carbon Streaming. “We are excited to begin scaling up and diversifying our investment portfolio and building up our near-term cash flow profile,” Mr. Cochrane added.

About Special Warrants

The Special Warrants were originally issued effective on July 19, 2021 pursuant to a non-brokered private placement of 104,901,256 Special Warrants at a price of US$1.00 per Special Warrant for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately US$104.9 million. Under the terms of their governing indenture, each Special Warrant will be automatically exercised for no additional consideration into one Unit (as defined below) of the Company, subject to adjustment in certain events, on the date that is four months and one day following the closing date, being November 20, 2021. Each unit (a “Unit”) underlying a Special Warrant is comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a “July Warrant”). Each July Warrant will expire on September 19, 2026, being sixty-two (62) months from the date of issuance.

Pursuant to the Company’s prior consolidation of all of its securities on a 1-for-5 basis which took effect on October 22, 2021 (the “Consolidation”), each Special Warrant became exercisable to acquire one post-Consolidation Common Share and July Warrant such that the total of Special Warrants was reduced to approximately 20,980,250. As a result of the Consolidation of the Special Warrants, the underlying July Warrants will now be exercisable to purchase one post-Consolidation Common Share at an exercise price of US$7.50 per share. Copies of the indentures and supplemental indentures governing the Special Warrants and the July Warrants are available on the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

In connection with the deemed exercise of the Special Warrants, the Company is also pleased to announce receipt of final approval for listing of the July Warrants on the NEO Exchange. The July Warrants are expected to commence trading on the NEO Exchange as of 9:30 a.m. EST on November 24, 2021 under the symbol “NETZ.WT.B”, which will allow warrant holders an opportunity to deposit their July Warrants with their brokers prior to trading commencing. The Company’s Common Shares and the Company’s existing listed Common Share purchase warrants will continue to trade on the NEO Exchange under the tickers “NETZ” and “NETZ.WT”, respectively.

Given the deemed exercise of the Special Warrants in accordance with their governing indenture, the Company will withdraw its previously filed prospectus to qualify the distribution of the underlying Common Shares and July Warrants, as it is no longer necessary.

Additional Information

Holders of Special Warrants are not required to pay any additional money or consideration, nor take any additional steps or action, in order to receive the Common Shares and July Warrants comprising the Units underlying the Special Warrants. Holders who received their Special Warrants through the DealMaker platform should be able to access their Common Shares and July Warrants statements on Monday November 22, 2021 through the same portal. For additional information, holders of Special Warrants with questions are encouraged to visit the Shareholder Information page of the Company’s website, where additional information as well as answers to “Frequently Asked Questions” is available regarding the automatic deemed exercise of the Special Warrants and the issuance of the underlying Common Shares and July Warrants.
