(MOVE) News Corp To Acquire Move, Inc.

News Corp and Move, Inc. (“Move”) announced today that News Corp has agreed to acquire Move, a leading online real estate business that brings consumers and Realtors® together to facilitate the sale and rental of real estate in the United States.

REA Group Limited (“REA”), which is 61.6% owned by News Corp and is the operator of the leading Australian residential property website, realestate.com.au, plans to hold a 20% stake in Move with 80% held by News Corp.

Through realtor.com® and its mobile applications, Move displays more than 98% of all for-sale properties listed in the US, sourced directly from relationships with more than 800 Multiple Listing Services (“MLS”) across the country. As a result, Move has the most up-to-date and accurate for-sale listings of any online real estate company in America. The Move Network of websites, which also includes Move.com, reaches approximately 35 million people per month, who spend an average of 22 minutes each on its sites1.

Move’s content advantage makes it well positioned to capitalize on the fast-growing US online real estate sector and the world’s largest residential real estate market. More than five million homes in the United States are bought and sold each year, representing more than $1 trillion in annual transaction volume. Agents and brokers are expected to spend approximately $14 billion in 2014 marketing homes (up from approximately $11 billion in 2012), and an additional $11 billion will be spent by mortgage providers2.

Under the acquisition agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of Move, News Corp will acquire all the outstanding shares of Move for $21 per share, or approximately $950 million (net of Move’s existing cash balance), via an all-cash tender offer. This represents a premium of 37% over Move’s closing stock price on September 29, 2014. REA’s share will be acquired for approximately US$200 million. News Corp intends to commence a tender offer for all of the shares of common stock of Move within 10 business days, followed by a merger to acquire any untendered shares.

“This acquisition will accelerate News Corp’s digital and global expansion and contribute to the transformation of our company, making online real estate a powerful pillar of our portfolio,” said Robert Thomson, Chief Executive of News Corp. “We intend to use our media platforms and compelling content to turbo-charge traffic growth and create the most successful real estate website in the US. We are building on our existing real estate expertise and expect to leverage the potential of Move and its valuable connections with Realtors® and consumers around the country.”

“In addition to boosting Move’s subscription, advertising and software services, this acquisition will give News Corp a significant marketing platform for our media assets, which will benefit from the high-quality geographic data generated by real estate searches,” said Mr. Thomson. “We certainly expect this deal to amount to far more than the sum of the parts.”

“News Corp’s acquisition of Move speaks powerfully to the quality and value of our content, audience and industry relationships,” said Steve Berkowitz, Chief Executive Officer of Move. “We provide people with the information, tools and professional expertise they need to make the best and most informed real estate decisions, and we work to uphold the indispensable role of the professional in the real estate experience. News Corp shares our vision, which is one of the many reasons this combination is such good news for our customers, consumers and the industry as a whole.”

REA Group Chief Executive Tracey Fellows said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for REA Group to invest in a leading player in the largest real estate market in the world. We see strong growth potential for Move, given the size of the US market, the significant proportion of real estate advertising yet to move online, and recent industry consolidation. We believe that our digital real estate know-how, combined with News Corp’s content, distribution and marketing strengths, will be a winning combination for Move and for our shareholders.”

Move has an exclusive, strategic relationship with the National Association of Realtors® (“NAR”), the largest trade organization in the United States, with more than one million members, and NAR has given its consent to the acquisition. Move is focused on providing high ROI for agents and benefits from their invaluable marketing support and high quality listings for vendors and potential purchasers.

“This partnership will help shape the future of real estate,” said National Association of Realtors® President Steve Brown. “News Corp’s ability to reach and engage consumers, combined with realtor.com®’s quality content and the real insights Realtors® provide will transform the current landscape. Working together, Realtors®, Move and News Corp will truly make home happen.”

Move owns ListHub, a digital platform that aggregates and syndicates MLS data to more than 130 online publishers, reaching approximately 900 websites.

The Move audience is highly engaged and transaction ready; over 90% of page views on their websites are on ‘for sale’ properties,3 helping generate the highest conversion rate of qualified leads in the industry4. The connection between agents and customers is strengthened by robust web and mobile-based customer-relationship management offerings to help facilitate transactions. Approximately 60% of traffic for Move websites comes from mobile devices.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, Move reported $227 million in revenues, and $29 million in adjusted EBITDA5, and generated the highest revenue per unique user in the industry.

Move will become an operating business of News Corp and remain headquartered in San Jose, California. The company, started in 1993, has 913 employees.

Some of the expected key benefits of the transaction include:

  • Broadened reach for Move through News Corp’s robust platform including WSJ Digital Network (approximately 500 million average monthly page views6) and News America Marketing (nearly 74 million households)
  • Increased sales and marketing support to drive higher brand awareness and traffic
  • Cross-platform promotion and audience monetization expertise
  • Leverage of News Corp’s and REA’s real estate and digital expertise to drive improved product innovation, consumer engagement and audience growth
  • Boost traffic and digital dwell times with high quality News Corp content

###

In addition to its leading position in Australia, REA’s operations and investments include leading online real estate websites in Italy (casa.it) and Luxembourg (atHome.lu) with presence also in regional France. In Asia, REA operates MyFun.com for the Chinese market and squarefoot.com.hk in Hong Kong and recently acquired a 17.22% stake in iProperty, the leading online real estate advertising business across South East Asia.

Along with its connection to REA, News Corp also has substantial expertise in real estate via its newspaper holdings, including The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. In 2012, the Journal began publishing Mansion, a successful global luxury real estate section, under the leadership of Mr. Thomson, who was then the Journal’s Managing Editor. News Corp’s UK publications also provide readers with online access to home and apartment listings throughout Great Britain. The Times of London’s lucrative Bricks & Mortar section was also commissioned and overseen by Mr. Thomson while he was Editor of that publication.

“We have great faith in America’s potential and the long-term asset value of housing, which is continuing its recovery and has yet to regain its full potency,” said Mr. Thomson. “It is forecast that the number of Millennial households will increase from 13.3 million in 2013 to 21.6 million in 2018, and they will spend more than $2 trillion on home purchases and rent by 20187. Many will begin their search online and use tools and content on realtor.com®. Buying a home is the most important investment decision any family will make.”

The acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and a minimum tender of at least a majority of the outstanding Move shares, and is expected to close by the end of calendar year 2014.

Advisors on the transaction include Goldman Sachs, as financial advisor, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom LLP, as legal advisor, for News Corp and Morgan Stanley, as financial advisor, and Cooley LLP, as legal advisor, for Move.

(MCIG) Forms Colorado Subsidiary mCig CBD Technologies, LLC.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 30, 2014  — mCig®, Inc. (OTCQB:MCIG) (“mCig”), a technology company that owns, manufactures, and distributes the mCig®, VitaCig®, and Vapolution products, is pleased to announce that the Company has formed a 100% owned subsidiary: mCig CBD Technologies, LLC. in the state of Colorado for the purpose of designing and manufacturing a new line of products that will leverage the VitaCig technology for delivery of Cannabis plant derivatives. The Cannabis plant is a unique source of over 70 cannabinoid molecules of which only THC is known to cause psychoactive effects. Cannabinoids such as Cannabidiol (CBD) have shown to have positive medicinal effects on various hard-to-treat diseases such as epilepsy.

This new line of products will be named: “mCig+” and will include pre-packaged devices that look similar to the company’s VitaCig® line of products. These products will only be sold to licensed distributors and dispensaries in jurisdictions around the world where the consumption of Cannabis and Cannabidiol is permitted.

The company will be building on nearly a decade of experience in bringing vaporization products to market such as the Vapolution, mCig®, and VitaCig®. In the last year alone mCig, Inc. has launched 3 consumer products that have touched the lives of nearly 30,000 customers worldwide.

mCig CBD Technologies, LLC. will remain 100% owned by mCig, Inc. following the proposed spinoff, dividend, and IPO of VitaCig® Inc.

“We are extremely excited to be entering yet another frontier market. We believe to have identified an opportunity to apply our experience in mobile vaporization in applications for the delivery of cannabis plant derivatives and molecules. There is currently a massive effort underway globally by biotechnology companies and scientific research institutions to explore and understand the ultimate potential of the cannabis plant. This push has already yielded some important results such as those witnessed for Dravet syndrome, a rare form of intractable epilepsy. We believe that our products and brand recognition provide us with a commercial opportunity to manufacture and distribute pre-packaged devices with various cannabis plant molecules such as CBD, CBC, THC, CBG, CBN, THCV, CBDV, CBDA, and many others. We have already completed an initial round of testing utilizing CBD and THC that have successfully administered these molecules utilizing our vaporization technology,” said Paul Rosenberg, CEO of mCig, Inc.

Other General Updates

The company continues to make substantial progress in all of its business segments and will be providing additional updates as they are warranted. The VitaCig amended S1 has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the company hopes this will be the final amendment paving the way for the Spinoff, IPO, and Dividend of VitaCig®, Inc.

About mCig, Inc.

mCig, Inc. (OTCQB:MCIG) is a technology company focused on two long-term secular trends sweeping the globe: (1) The decriminalization and legalization of marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes (2) The adoption of electronic vaporizing cigarettes (commonly known as “eCigs”) by the world’s 1.2 Billion smokers. The company manufactures and retails the mCig® – the world’s most affordable vaporizer priced at only $10. Designed in the USA – the mCig® provides a superior smoking experience by heating plant material, waxes, and oils delivering a smoother inhalation experience. The company also owns Vapolution, Inc. which manufactures and retails home-use vaporizers such as the Vapolution 2.0. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, VitaCig, Inc. the company manufactures and retails the VitaCig®, a $5 nicotine-free eCig that delivers a water-vapor mixed with vitamins and natural flavors. See more at: http://www.mCig.org/, www.Vapolution.com, and www.VitaCig.org

The company believes that a well regulated marijuana industry is emerging as more states follow the lead of Washington and Colorado in legalizing marijuana. A similar trend is developing within the eCig industry following the first acquisition of an electronic cigarette brand (Blucigs) by a traditional tobacco company Lorillard Inc. for $135 million followed by another acquisition in February 2014 by Altria Group Inc. of Green Smoke for $150 million. Wells Fargo analyst Bonnie Herzog estimates that eCig sales may rise from $1 Billion in 2013 to $10 billion over the next three years.

mCig, Inc. (OTCQB:MCIG) has positioned itself as a first mover at the intersection of these two trends and hopes to create shareholder value by making the mCig® one of the leading choices for electronic consumption of plant material. – See more at: http://www.mcig.org/investors/investor-opportunity-subpage/

(GYSN) Oct. 17 Canadian Kickoff on The Shopping Channel of Its Anti-Aging Skin Care

Greyson says it’s a clear sign company’s moving vigorously forward after death of its legendary CEO as he had wanted

COCONUT CREEK, Fla., Sept. 30, 2014  — Greyson International, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: GYSN) announced today the long-awaited TV launch of the Greyson Skin Care product line, with the patented Trilexon® topical delivery system, will be Oct. 17. It will receive four separate thirty (30) minute live TV airings that day on one of the leading interactive multi-channel retailers in North America, The Shopping Channel of Canada (tsc.ca), just as the company’s late CEO Harvey Tauman had planned prior to his death in July.

The well-known TV spokesperson Andrea Tilis will present the Greyson Skin Care kit on Oct. 17 at 9:30am, 1:30pm, 4:30pm and 8:30pm on The Shopping Channel seen throughout Canada. (All times are Eastern.)

“We’re excited to be carrying out the first of many things my father had planned to do as he believed so passionately.  Our skin care products with Trilexon are infinitely more effective and longer lasting than any other cosmetics,” said his son, Richard Tauman, Director of Operations of the company, now headed by Mukesh Prasad.  The company was founded by Harvey Tauman, who had held some of the most awesome cosmetics sales records in the history of TV home shopping.

Our technology supports the skin’s barrier layer and maintains a specific pH level on the skin to reduce moisture evaporation, thus promoting the ingredient penetration. Also, Trilexon’s® extended delivery of ingredients into the skin lasts longer.

In independent third party laboratory tests, performed by Peter T. Pugliese, M.D. and Zoe Diana Draelos, M.D., Trilexon® proved to deliver active ingredients at a consistent rate for extended periods. Unlike most emulsion systems once applied on the skin, it continues to emulsify and break down the barrier layer, the Greyson’s Trilexon® Delivery System stops emulsifying the essential oils and keeps the barrier layer intact.

About Greyson International, Inc.

Greyson’s patented Trilexon® delivery system, in addition to cosmetic applications, may have benefits in the medical field where it’s important to deliver active ingredients. Trilexon® is a registered trademark of Greyson International Inc.

(HRDND) Looks To Power the Cannabis Industry

DC Brands Looks to Power the Cannabis Industry

WHITEFISH, MT / September 30, 2014 / The U.S. cannabis industry is expected to reach $2.6 billion in 2014 compared to $1.5 billion last year, according to ArcView Market Research, driven by the legalization of medical marijuana in 23 states and Washington D.C., as well as the potential for adult-use legalization in Alaska and Oregon. With these rapid growth rates and catalysts, investors have been increasingly drawn to the industry.

In Canada, the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (“MMPR”) framework has created a clear pathway for companies like Tweed Marijuana Inc. [TWMJF] (TSX-V: TWD) to operate legally. The U.S. has taken a different approach where cannabis remains illegal on a federal level, but certain states have legalized the production and use of the substance.

In this article, we’ll take a look at DC Brands International Inc. [HRDND] * and its plans to become a leading provider of consulting services and financing within the cannabis industry. (* after October 6th, 2014 the ticker symbol will revert to HRDN)

CannabisFN Executive Interview | DC Brands (HRDN) from TDM Financial on Vimeo.

U.S. Exposure to the Cannabis Industry

DC Brands International has taken a unique approach to the U.S. cannabis industry, which provides investors with direct exposure and limited risk. By providing consulting and financing services, the company operates under variable rate contracts that grow with the revenue of their clients. These dynamics provide investors with exposure to the market without the risk of direct ownership.

In early September, the company announced a binding letter of intent to acquire Colorado-based Lotus MMJ Consulting LLC. Founders Erik Santus and Hung Nguyen are also involved with Lotus Medical LLC, which operates a medical marijuana dispensary in Denver, Colorado. The team’s experience running a live dispensary sets it apart from many competitors in the cannabis consulting space.

“I believe that partnering with executives who have started and grown one of the premier Colorado MMJ dispensary operations and then started their consulting business because people across the country began reaching out to them, will be invaluable to the success of this venture,” said DC Brands International CEO and CFO Bob Armstrong in the press release announcing the deal.

Near-term Cash Flow Potential

DC Brands International reported revenue of $40,000, during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, through its 80% ownership interest in DC Brands Green Investors LLC. With the model proven by early revenue, the company believes that its Lotus MMJ Consulting LLC agreement will scale the model to new levels over the coming quarters, potentially bringing the firm closer to a breakeven point.

“We are very pleased to announce revenues from our new business direction,” said Mr. Armstrong in the July press release. “This is the first step in achieving anticipated positive cash flow and continuing to provide value to our debt holders and shareholders. After attending WeedStock in Denver earlier this week, I am very excited about our business model and the direction of the marijuana industry.”

Through its DC Brands Green Investors LLC agreement alone, management anticipates generating between $1.5 million and $2.75 million over the first three years through a 5% interest in Venture Investment Partners LLC’s EBITDA. The agreement with Lotus MMJ Consulting LLC could significantly expand these figures given its existing contract with a Denver dispensary and the team’s experience.

Looking Ahead

DC Brands International has a market capitalization of less than $60,000, according to OTC Markets, as it remains in its early stages. With the potential for over $1 million in 2015 revenue and cash flow positivity, investors may want to take a closer look at the company as a way to gain exposure to the U.S. cannabis industry without taking on a lot of the regulatory risks associated with other ventures.

In particular, investors in the medical marijuana space, including companies like Medical Marijuana Inc. [MJNA], or ancillary product providers, like GreenGro Technologies Inc. [GRNH], may want to take a closer look at the company as a way to diversify, particularly given that its contracts provide a virtual revenue interest in active dispensary operations.

(FLPC) Secures Refining Capacity in the United States

Pathways of Progress Announcement

Reno, NV, Sept. 29, 2014  — First Liberty Power Corp. (FLPC: OTC Pink), a diversified exploration, development and junior mining company focused on strategic minerals for America’s future, today announced the completion of a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire a 50% operational interest in a central Nevada processing facility, known as the Liberty Precious Metals Processing Facility (the “Liberty Mill”).

First Liberty Power CEO, Don Nicholson, provided details of this significant FLPC development.  “After extensive negotiations, First Liberty Power has entered into a binding LOI for a definitive share purchase agreement (“SPA”) to acquire 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Coronet Metals US Inc. (Coronet US) from Coronet Metals Inc.  Coronet US currently holds the lease to operate and has expended a capital investment of $2.1 million in the Liberty Mill, which is located on 40-acres of private land in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, approximately two hours north‐west of Las Vegas.  The SPA is to be concluded before Monday, October 6th.”  http://www.firstlibertypower.com/investors/filings/

The Liberty Mill is a gravity separation operation that is also permitted to use cyanide for leaching material that is not recoverable through that separation process. Currently, the operation is fully permitted to process up to 50 tons of feed material per day from Nevada, as well as out-of-state supply.  Identified assets of the Liberty operation include a feed storage containment area, feed hopper, Deister table, wet magnetic separation, ball mill, chemical leaching circuit, filtration, Merrill-Crowe precious metals precipitation, refinery, and two separate water recovery/recycle systems.

CEO Nicholson noted the impact of the joint mill venture relative to the Company’s broad-based advances and objectives.  “Over the last year, the FLPC management team has increased the Company’s mineral properties to more than 1200 acres, including a gold (AG) mineral exploration operation on the Rose Creek Properties with near-term expectations of gold production to improve the FLPC balance sheet. In obtaining this well-established Liberty Mill operation, FLPC has now taken steps that immediately enhances the prospects of the Company’s mining business by providing a near-term solution to refining constraints.  Moreover, this joint venture advances another FLPC objective of having a facility which, with relatively straight-forward enhancements, will be able to host a dedicated operational line to produce high grade stibnite (antimony) concentrate sourced from our properties.”

In acknowledging the significance of the Liberty Mill acquisition, First Liberty Power COO, Jimmy Trikeriotis, detailed the operational impact.  “Having access to the Liberty Mill operation greatly expands FLPC’s short and mid-term options for both the refining of gold ore concentrates and stibnite as well as other ores.  This opportunity fits in ideally with the Company’s active development plans for milling and refining capacity in Winnemucca, as it allows for the tailoring of the respective facilities for different ore types and processing methods, and optimizes the transportation logistics of varying ore and concentrate sources.”

First Liberty Power will continue to use Pathways of Progress announcements to make public Company details and operational advancements.  www.firstlibertypower.com

(BAGL) Enters Agreement to be Acquired by JAB Holding for $20.25/Share, Cash

Einstein Noah Restaurant Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:BAGL), a leader in the fast-casual segment of the restaurant industry operating under the Einstein Bros.® Bagels, Noah’s New York Bagels®, and Manhattan Bagel® brands and JAB Holding Company (“JAB”) today announced a definitive agreement under which an affiliate of JAB will acquire Einstein Noah Restaurant Group for $20.25 per share in cash, or a total diluted equity value of approximately $374 million. The agreement, which has been unanimously approved by Einstein Noah Restaurant Group’s directors, represents a premium of approximately 47 percent over Einstein Noah Restaurant Group’s 30-day average trading price.

“Einstein Noah Restaurant Group has a great collection of brands that reflect JAB’s long-term investment philosophy and we see significant opportunity for growth,” said Olivier Goudet, Partner and CEO of JAB. “We welcome Einstein Noah Restaurant Group and its employees to the JAB family, and we are excited to be a part of the next chapter of its growth.”

“Greenlight supports this transaction, which we believe delivers significant value to Einstein Noah Restaurant Group stockholders and is a win-win for all parties,” said David Einhorn, founder and president of Greenlight Capital, Einstein Noah Restaurant Group’s largest stockholder. “For more than a decade, we have worked closely with the Einstein Noah Restaurant Group to execute a turnaround plan, reducing debt and expanding its store footprint. JAB is an experienced firm that will lead Einstein Noah Restaurant Group into its next phase of growth.”

At the close of the transaction, Einstein Noah Restaurant Group will maintain its headquarters in Lakewood, Colorado and will continue to operate as a standalone business in the JAB portfolio, consistent with the firm’s investment practice. Michael Tattersfield, Chief Executive Officer of Caribou Coffee Company, Inc., another JAB portfolio company, will serve as Chairman of the Board.

“I am looking forward to working with the Einstein Noah Restaurant Group’s talented executive team. Having worked in and around the food industry for many years, I have long admired the Einstein Noah Restaurant Group’s strong market position and growth potential, and I am looking forward to contributing to the company’s continued success,” said Mr. Tattersfield.

“Through this transaction with JAB, which has a long and distinguished track record of investing in premium consumer companies, we will not only realize significant immediate value for our stockholders, but will continue to revitalize our brand, enhance our nationwide footprint and solidify our position as the leader in the fresh-baked bagels industry,” said Nelson Heumann, Chairman of the Board of Einstein Noah Restaurant Group. “Over the past few years, our dedicated employees have helped enhance our strong and growing brand leadership, and with JAB’s backing, we expect to build upon our success and position as a category leader.”

Under the terms of the merger agreement, an affiliate of JAB will promptly commence a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Einstein Noah Restaurant Group’s common stock at a price of $20.25 per share in cash. Greenlight Capital, Einstein Noah Restaurant Group’s largest stockholder with more than 35% of the outstanding common shares, has agreed to tender its shares in support of the transaction. Following the successful completion of the tender offer, JAB will acquire all remaining shares not tendered in the offer through a second-step merger at the same price as in the tender offer.

The consummation of the tender offer is subject to various conditions, including a minimum tender of at least a majority of Einstein Noah Restaurant Group’s outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis, the expiration or termination of the waiting periods under applicable competition laws, and other customary conditions. The tender offer is not subject to a financing condition.

(AMBI) Daiichi Sankyo to Acquire Ambit Biosciences

Lead Compound, Quizartinib, Will Further Build Daiichi Sankyo Oncology Pipeline

TOKYO and SAN DIEGO, Sept. 29, 2014  — Daiichi Sankyo Company, Ltd. (hereinafter Daiichi Sankyo) (TSE: 4568) and Ambit Biosciences (NASDAQ: AMBI), jointly announced today that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Daiichi Sankyo will acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Ambit Biosciences for $15 per share in cash through a tender offer followed by a merger with a subsidiary of Daiichi Sankyo, or approximately $315 million on a fully diluted basis.  In addition to the upfront cash payment, each Ambit Biosciences stockholder will receive one Contingent Value Right (CVR), entitling the holder to receive an additional cash payment of up to $4.50 for each share they own if certain commercialization related milestones are achieved. The total transaction is valued at up to $410 million on a fully diluted basis.

Ambit Biosciences, a publicly traded, biopharmaceutical company, is focused on the discovery and development of medicines to treat unmet medical needs in oncology, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases by inhibiting enzymes that are important drivers for those diseases.  The lead Ambit Biosciences drug candidate, quizartinib, is currently in phase 3 clinical trials among patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), who express a genetic mutation in FLT3 and who are refractory to or relapsed after first-line treatment with or without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) consolidation.  AML patients with the FLT3 mutation tend to have a poorer prognosis than those whose cancers are FLT3 negative.

“Daiichi Sankyo is the ideal organization to take quizartinib to the next stage of development, and ultimately, to achieve our goal of making it available as quickly as possible to help as many AML patients as possible,” said Michael A. Martino, President and CEO, Ambit Biosciences.  “This attractive offer to shareholders, is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Ambit team to our mission of developing innovative therapies for areas of high unmet medical need.”

“The acquisition of Ambit Biosciences further builds our presence in oncology to ensure we are delivering on our goal of providing world-class, innovative pharmaceuticals in core areas of unmet medical need,” said Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. President and CEO, Joji Nakayama. “Long-term success in oncology depends upon three pillars:  fostering development of our in-house molecules, exploring mutually beneficial partnerships and executing strategic purchases, such as Ambit Biosciences, which follows our acquisitions of U3 Pharma and Plexxikon.”

“Quizartinib will fit seamlessly into our already robust oncology pipeline focused on targeted therapies with the potential for personalizing the treatment of cancer,” said Mahmoud Ghazzi, MD, PhD, Global Head of Development for Daiichi Sankyo.  “With the acquisition of Ambit Biosciences, Daiichi Sankyo gains additional opportunities to develop promising treatments for cancer, including the global rights to quizartinib, currently being studied in patients with refractory AML, a very serious condition for which no new therapies have been approved for more than 30 years.”

Ambit Biosciences board of directors has unanimously approved the acquisition.

Closing of the tender offer and merger is subject to certain conditions, including the tender of more than 50 percent of all shares of Ambit Biosciences.  Completion of the transaction is also subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act and customary closing conditions.  The acquisition is expected to conclude promptly after receipt of HSR clearance and the close of the tender period.

Centerview Partners acted as lead financial advisor to Ambit Biosciences.  Leerink Partners LLC also acted as financial advisor to Ambit Biosciences. Cooley LLP acted as legal advisor to Ambit Biosciences.   Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP acted as legal advisor to Daiichi Sankyo.

About Daiichi Sankyo
Daiichi Sankyo Group is dedicated to the creation and supply of innovative pharmaceutical products to address the diversified, unmet medical needs of patients in both mature and emerging markets. While maintaining its portfolio of marketed pharmaceuticals for hypertension, dyslipidemia and bacterial infections used by patients around the world, the Group has also launched treatments for thrombotic disorders and is building new product franchises.  Furthermore, Daiichi Sankyo research and development is focused on bringing forth novel therapies in oncology and cardiovascular-metabolic diseases, including biologics.  The Daiichi Sankyo Group has created a “Hybrid Business Model,” to respond to market and customer diversity and optimize growth opportunities across the value chain. For more information, please visit: www.daiichisankyo.com.

The Daiichi Sankyo oncology portfolio continues to grow and currently includes both small molecules and monoclonal antibodies with novel targets in both solid and hematologic cancers.

About Ambit Biosciences
Ambit is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of drugs to treat unmet medical needs in oncology, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases by inhibiting kinases that are important drivers for those diseases. Ambit’s lead drug candidate, quizartinib (AC220), is a once-daily, orally-administered potent and selective, inhibitor of FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) and is currently in a registrational phase 3 clinical trial, referred to as QUANTUM-R, in patients with relapsed/refractory FLT3-ITD positive, acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Quizartinib is also being studied in newly diagnosed patients in combination with chemotherapy as well as maintenance following a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). In addition to quizartinib, Ambit’s clinical pipeline includes AC410, an oral JAK2 inhibitor, and CEP-32496, a BRAF inhibitor licensed to Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. Ambit’s preclinical portfolio includes a proprietary CSF1R inhibitor program.

About AML

AML is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults and is projected to account for approximately 36 percent of all new leukemia cases in 2014. AML results in uncontrolled growth and accumulation of malignant white blood cells which fail to function normally and interfere with the production of normal blood cells.

According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 18,860 patients will be newly diagnosed with AML in 2014 in the United States and approximately 10,460 are expected to die of the disease in 2014. AML is generally a disease of older people and the median age of a patient at initial diagnosis is 66 years. The five-year survival rate for all AML patients, irrespective of age and FLT3-ITD status, is 23 percent.

The standard of care for AML has not changed appreciably for decades. Treatment decisions for AML are typically based on the patient’s age (60 years of age being generally referred to as “elderly” and used as a treatment indicator), overall health, cytogenetics and molecular abnormalities such as FLT3-ITD status. These factors determine the aggressiveness of the treatment approach given the high toxicity associated with currently approved treatment options for AML. Importantly, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends participation in clinical trials as a treatment option for all AML patients.

The goal of treatment in AML is to reduce the blasts in the bone marrow to below 5 percent and return the blood cell counts to normal levels. A bone marrow transplant is generally recognized as the only curative treatment option. Typically, patients who are able to achieve a reduction in bone marrow blasts below 5% are more suitable candidates for transplant and have an improved projected outcome.

(CNET) Participated in 2014 Sina Supporting Wings Corporate Marketing Summit

BEIJING, Sept. 25, 2014  — ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:CNET) (“ChinaNet” or the “Company”), a leading B2B (business to business) Internet technology company providing online-to-offline (O2O) sales channel expansion services for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurial management and networking services for entrepreneurs in the People’s Republic of China, announced today that ChinaNet participated in 2014 Sina Supporting Wings Corporate Marketing Summit by Sina with growing perspectives on new digital advertising and marketing product. Nearly a thousand advertisers from the apparel, tourism and education sectors, as well as others, participated in the event.

Supporting Wings is a marketing tool designed to get company information in front of Sina users, accurately delivering messaging based on user attributes and social relationships within the target population. Supporting Wings complements ChinaNet Online offerings with a focus on providing precision marketing tools to customers. The Supporting Wings solution is individually tailored to each user, and will help companies increase awareness and address the typical issues that arise in marketing. Supporting Wings will also offer consulting services and professional training to clients.

The tool integrates data from Sina, China’s mainstream media portal, and other popular shopping platforms such as Taobao and T-Mall, making it possible to track all related internet behavior and customer interests and precisely target customers with products that interest them. As a result, advertising will be more effective, leading to more clicks and ultimately more purchases.

ChinaNet COO George Chu said, “It is an honor to participate in this event to further communicate with the industry and explore the working relationship between Sina and other participants. Supporting Wings is definitely a cutting edge marketing tool and, combined with ChinaNet’s Micro-Sell 360, can increase the volume and depth of sales leads provided to businesses both small to large. Internet marketing is becoming more and more complicated, and a high volume of information is transmitted and exchanged. Significant technology and analysis is necessary to generate actionable sales information that will cost-effectively boost sales. The future promises to be even more exciting for internet and mobile digital marketing as we are getting more and more direct and personalized. I believe ChinaNet’s growth will explode when smart phone usage peaks over the next two years in China with the big data we have accumulated in years of operation. Having an additional stream of growing revenues from B2C sales leads should create a new era for the company, while we further perfect the depth and quality of B2B sales leads.”

About ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc.

The Company, a parent company of ChinaNet Online Media Group Ltd., incorporated in the BVI (“ChinaNet”), is a leading digital B2B (business to business) Internet technology company focusing on providing online to offline (O2O) sales channel expansion service for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurial management and networking service for entrepreneurs in China.

(FBEC) Issues Company Update

HENDERSON, NV, United States, via ETELIGIS INC., 09/25/2014 – – Frontier Beverage Company Inc., (OTC Pink: FBEC) (PINKSHEETS: FBEC), issues company update.

From Frontier Beverage Company President, William Coogan, Over the past weeks I have received inquiries for a company update, future plans etc. and do apologize if I wasnt able to get back with everyone and also would like to thank everyone for their patience. As I have executing on the company business plan which again calls for the reduction of debt, additional acquisitions and/or partnership relationships for the increase of revenues and to produce profits and as I have promised transparency the following is the most current information with regard to the company operations:

– In continued cost cutting moves all consulting and independent contractor contracts (Including Mr. Leiewands) have been terminated and all payments were paid and/or satisfied in the last quarter or within the 3A10 fling dated June 6, 2014. No further fees are owed to consultants and no shares were issued in this quarter to consultants or independent contractors.

– The company has entered into two new debt reduction contracts, a new 3A10 dated and filed September 11, 2014 for the amount of $56,749.25 as well as a separate conversion note for the amount of $30,000 (8k to follow). These debts have been on the books for many years. Additionally our $50,000 Convertible Debenture has matured and conversions have begun on that note as well.

– I have no plans for any stock split whatsoever, but due the recent contractual obligations we found it necessary to increase the authorized to satisfy our obligations.

– The company has been interviewing new candidates for management and I will be making an announcement in coming days as to the hiring of our new President. Our search curriculum included Energy experience as well as a strong business Background.

– With regard to our recent signing of the Oil Patch Marketing contract, I will hold off those discussions until our new President is in place.

– With regard to share issuance, the only shares issued this quarter were from debt note conversions

– I will request that new management be more forthcoming with updates via Press Releases, Twitter or via Blog posting.

I understand shareholder frustration with regard to the company slumping stock price, but as I inherited the aged debt and I have found that debt reduction a necessary part of the future growth of the company. And as former management ignored the problem, I took it head on and as it is a short term inconvenience, it will only help for our long term growth. Please keep in mind this is Marathon not a Sprint. As there have been discussions for new business opportunities it seems the debt is the main focus of the conversion. So with that in mind and with the assistance of the Private Equity and Hedge Fund community, I thought it best we deal with it and eliminate it!

With operating bases in the United States, China and Indonesia, we have access to key markets for talent, financial resources, manufacturing and service. We believe that we are particularly well positioned to access the markets in the Southeast Asia region, where we expect to see strong demand for computing and communications for several years.”

(OWOO) One World Doll Project Financing Relationship w/ NY Hedge Fund, Blackbridge

HOUSTON, TX–(Sep 24, 2014) – The One World Doll Project, a subsidiary of One World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: OWOO), announced today that it has recently entered into an $800,000 private equity partnership with Blackbridge Capital, a New York hedge fund, and a group of private equity investors that will focus on debt reduction and balance sheet enhancement.

“Over the past 18 months, the company has taken on several large convertible notes that have had the unfortunate effect of creating derivative liabilities on our balance sheet and downward pressure on our stock price as a result of simultaneous conversions of those notes into stock at a substantial discount to market,” stated Joanne Melton, CEO of One World Holdings. “By the end of the 3rd quarter we will have consolidated and eliminated several of our most expensive institutional and private convertible notes totaling over $415,000. The purpose of this initiative is to phase out at least 50% of the total company debt by the end of 2014,” she added.

“We are thrilled to partner with One World Holdings while enhancing their balance sheet, increasing shareholder value, and providing advice on business plan execution,” said Alexander Dillon, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Blackbridge Capital. “We are also extremely proud of the diligent efforts of the One World management team as we work together to eliminate derivative liabilities and secure key business development milestones, including the most recent achievement of locking up a premier spot at Toy Fair 2015 where the company will unveil its new line of Prettie Girls! dolls created in partnership with Robert Tonner and The Tonner Doll Company.”

(LPCN) Positive Top-Line Results Phase 3 LPCN 1021 Oral Testosterone Replacement

  • Met primary efficacy endpoint by successfully restoring testosterone levels to the normal range in 88% of the subjects
  • Lower limit of the 95% confidence interval was 82%
  • 85% of the subjects reached final dose with no more than one dose titration
  • Majority of subjects ended on 225 mg BID
  • Proportion of subjects with maximum serum concentrations generally met FDA pre-specified targets
  • LPCN 1021 treatment was well tolerated with no drug related serious adverse events

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 24, 2014  — Lipocine Inc. (Nasdaq:LPCN), a specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced positive top-line efficacy results from its ongoing Study of Oral Androgen Replacement (“SOAR”) pivotal Phase 3 clinical study (http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT02081300) evaluating efficacy and safety of LPCN 1021, an Oral Testosterone product, in hypogonadal men with low testosterone (“Low T”). Overall, the study demonstrated positive results with respect to the trial’s primary efficacy endpoint with no serious adverse events. Lipocine continues to expect to file a New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the second half of 2015.

“We are extremely pleased with the robustness of the top-line results from this study which are consistent with the existing regulatory paradigm for Testosterone Replacement Therapy (“TRT”) product approvals. We believe that LPCN 1021 represents a differentiated TRT for treating hypogonadism in men with the potential to both improve patient compliance and overcome inadvertent testosterone transference risk,” said Dr. Mahesh Patel, Chairman, President and CEO of Lipocine Inc. Dr. Patel further stated, “We look forward to reporting additional safety results from this ongoing study.”

About SOAR Phase 3 Trial:

SOAR is a randomized, open-label, parallel-group, active-controlled, Phase 3 clinical study of oral TRT in hypogonadal males with low testosterone (< 300 ng/dL). In total, 315 subjects at 40 active sites were assigned, such that 210 were randomized to LPCN 1021 and 105 were randomized to the active control, for 52 weeks of treatment. The active control is included for safety assessment. LPCN 1021 subjects were started at 225 mg Testosterone Undecanoate (“TU”) (equivalent to ~ 142 mg of T) twice daily (“BID”) with a standard meal and then dose titrated, if needed, up to 300 mg TU BID or down to 150 mg TU BID based on serum testosterone measured during weeks 3 and 7. The mean age of the subjects in the trial is ~53 yrs with ~91% of the patients < 65 yrs of age.

Results:

Primary statistical analysis was conducted using the Efficacy Population Set (“EPS”). The EPS is defined as subjects randomized into the study with at least one PK profile and no significant protocol deviations and includes imputed missing data by last observation carried forward, N=152. Further analysis was performed using the safety set (“SS”) (any subject that was randomized into the study and took at least one dose, includes imputed missing data by last observation carried forward and as treatment failures if no pharmacokinetic data available, N=210).

Efficacy

The primary efficacy end point is the percentage of subjects with an average 24 hour serum testosterone concentration (“Cavg”) within the normal range, which is defined as 300-1140 ng/dL, after 13 weeks of treatment. The FDA guidelines for primary efficacy success is that at least 75% of the subjects on active treatment achieve a testosterone Cavg within the normal range; and the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (“CI”) must be greater than 65%.

LPCN 1021 successfully met the FDA primary efficacy guideline. In the EPS analysis, 88% of the subjects on active treatment achieved testosterone Cavg within the normal range with lower bound CI of 82%. Additionally, sensitivity analysis using the SS reaffirmed the finding that LPCN 1021 successfully met the FDA primary efficacy guideline as 80% of the subjects on active treatment achieved testosterone Cavg within the normal range with lower bound CI of 74%.

Other highlights from the efficacy results include:

  • Mean Cavg was 447 ng/dL with coefficient of variance of 37%
  • Less than 12% of the subjects were outside the testosterone Cavg normal range at final dose
  • 85% of subjects arrived at final dose with no more than one titration
  • 51% of subjects were on final dose of 225 mg BID

Safety

Although the safety component of the SOAR trial is on-going, LPCN 1021 treatment has been well tolerated.

LPCN 1021 safety highlights include:

  • 3% of the subjects reported a serious adverse event (“SAE”), with none of the SAEs being drug related
  • All the drug related adverse events were either mild or moderate in intensity (none were severe)
  • Hematocrit (“Hct”) and prostate specific antigen (“PSA”) increases were noted and consistent with other TRT products with one subject discontinued for elevated Hct exceeding pre-specified limits and one subject discontinued for elevated PSA exceeding pre-specified limits

In the EPS analysis, Cmax ≤1500 ng/dL was 83%, Cmax between 1800 and 2500 ng/dL was 4.6% and Cmax > 2500 ng/dL was 2%. Three patients had a Cmax >2500 ng/dL which were transient, isolated and sporadic. Moreover, none of these subjects reported any AEs. Results were generally consistent with those of approved TRT products.

The safety extension phase of the SOAR trial is on-going. The safety extension phase is designed to assess safety information such as metabolites, biomarkers, laboratory values, SAEs and AEs, with subjects on their stable dose regimen in both the treatment arm and the active control arm.

About LPCN 1021

The current testosterone market is dominated by topical products that are associated with poor patient compliance and FDA “black box” warnings related to inadvertent transfer of testosterone. LPCN 1021 is a twice-a-day, oral product candidate with three simple oral dosing options that we expect will overcome the major shortcomings of existing products.

About Lipocine

Lipocine Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing innovative pharmaceutical products for use in men’s and women’s health using its proprietary drug delivery technologies. Lipocine’s lead product candidate, LPCN 1021, is currently in Phase 3 and is targeted for testosterone replacement therapy. Additional pipeline candidates include LPCN 1111, a next generation oral testosterone therapy product with potential for once a day dosing, that is currently in Phase 2a testing, and LPCN 1107, which has the potential to become the first oral hydroxyprogesterone caproate product indicated for the prevention of recurrent preterm birth, is currently in Phase 1 testing.

SANTA CLARITA, CA, United States, via ETELIGIS INC., 09/24/2014 – – USEI Cannabis Initiatives Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Energy Initiatives Corporation, Inc., (the Company or USEI) (OTC Pink: USEI) (PINKSHEETS: USEI), announces today that USEI along with its JV partners have collectively launched their website for the sale of CBD products to its patients and the general public. USEI recently announced the partnerships with Angel Swanson (http://thecannabisemporium.com/in-the-news.html) and her team, to open CBD theme stores in the state of Washington and we are excited about the potential of this enterprise.

Our The Ultimate Cure stores and brand featured a wide range of cannabis related products that featured a high concentration of CBD not THC. The two (2) stores are located in the State of Washington (one in Tacoma and one in Puyallup) service cannabis patients opened for business on August 1, 2014 (http://www.useicannabis.com/web/washington-partnerships/). Our joint venture further is responsible for developing a new line of edible infused products (with CBD) that we have already sold hundreds of them in our stores and events under the brand The Ultimate Cure and we have had numerous patients, have significant benefits from using our topicals, tinctures, oils and edible products that include pain relief, epilepsy, migraines, cancer related relief, PTSD, anxiety and more.

According to Anthony K. Miller CEO This site (www.theuccbdshop.com) is still a work in progress however, it does feature products that we currently sell in our stores.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56uFDHcpHss). We have selected CBD products as our initial focus, primarily because of its significant medical benefits to treat patients with medicine without the psychoactive effects of cannabis (http://www.useicannabis.com/web/ …. 10 benefits of CBD Cannabis). This website will be updated with many images and products in the coming weeks. This press release has a number of links in it and I invite investors and interested parties to examine the content of these links to understand the strength of USEIs business plan. This month we also provided an update on the activities of this firm and that can be found at the following video link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh6bXRg9dXU&feature=youtu.be).

The management of USEI is currently working on a number of projects and a progress report on some of them will be forthcoming. We have a cannabis grow project with American Green in development, the expansion of our Ultimate Cure retail stores, edibles, the expansion of our Real McCoy brand and the active procurement of a significant interest in a recreational license in the state of Washington; that are in development. We have a robust business model and we believe that our future will be long, profitable and substantial in this cannabis sector; again the source of what USEI is doing is solely the company itself not outside sources that have no clue what the company is actually doing, just wacky concocted scenariosthe Management of USEI would like to formally thank its loyal investors and supporters and we believe that in due season rewards will ultimately be reaped finally, commented Miller.

(PLCSF) & Viveve Announce Completion of Merger and Private Placement

SUNNYVALE, CA–(September 24, 2014) – Viveve, Inc. (“Viveve”), a company focused on women’s health, today announced that, effective September 23, 2014, it has completed its merger with PLC Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: PLCSF) (“PLC”), initially announced on May 14th. Viveve will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PLC and PLC will now be known as Viveve Medical, Inc. (“Viveve Medical”). Viveve will compete in the women’s health market with a focus on the Viveve® System to improve women’s overall sexual well-being and quality of life, will retain all its personnel and continue to be headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA. In connection with the merger, Viveve Medical will issue 4,686,878 shares of common stock. Beginning approximately October 22nd, the stock will trade under the symbol VIVMF.

Effective as of the closing, Patricia Scheller, formerly the Chief Executive Officer of Viveve, became the CEO and a Director of Viveve Medical and Scott Durbin, who served as the Chief Financial Officer of Viveve, became the CFO of Viveve Medical.

Concurrent with the merger, Viveve Medical completed a private placement for total gross proceeds of approximately $6 million (including approximately $1.5 million of bridge debt conversion). As a result, Viveve Medical issued 11,305,567 shares of common stock and 5-year warrants to purchase up to 940,189 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.53 per share. Upon closing of the merger and private placement, Viveve Medical has approximately 18 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Proceeds from the private placement are expected to be used for research and development, to broaden Viveve’s commercial efforts in the three countries where the Viveve® System is available for sale, and to expand into the European market. The private placement included 5AM Ventures, GBS Venture Partners, Alta BioEquities and several other investors.

At the effective time of the merger, PLC divested its ownership of its former operating subsidiaries, PLC Medical Systems, Inc. and PLC Systemas Medicos Internacionais, which will operate as independent entities going forward under new ownership.

“This transaction positions Viveve to increase market awareness about the condition of vaginal introital laxity — a condition that affects millions of women worldwide — and its profound impact on women’s lives,” commented Patricia Scheller, CEO of Viveve Medical. “Given the growing concern surrounding women’s sexual health issues, the large market opportunity, and the lack of effective, non-invasive treatments for vaginal laxity, I believe Viveve is well-positioned for growth.”

Evolution Venture Partners acted as advisor to the Company on this transaction, and Richardson Patel served as its legal advisor.

About Viveve
Viveve, Inc., the operating subsidiary of Viveve Medical, Inc., is a women’s health company passionately committed to advancing new solutions to improve women’s overall well-being and quality of life. The company’s lead product, the Viveve® System, is a non-surgical, non-ablative medical device that remodels collagen and restores tissue. The Viveve System treats the condition of vaginal laxity, which is the result of the over-stretching of tissue during childbirth, which can result in a decrease in sexual function and physical sensation. Physician surveys indicate that vaginal laxity is the number one post-delivery physical change for women, being more prevalent than weight gain, urinary incontinence or stretch marks. The Viveve Treatment uses patented, reverse-thermal gradient radiofrequency technology to tighten the tissues of the vaginal introitus (opening) and requires only a 30-minute out-patient treatment in a physician’s office. The Viveve System has received regulatory approval in Europe, Canada and Hong Kong and is available through physician import license in Japan. It is currently not available for sale in the U.S.

(AJAC) Announces Kendall A. Smith Begins as BOD Member

Company Plans to Become Single Focused, Divest Subsidiaries With Plantinga to Lead Charge! Energy Storage and Propel Management Group

LAKE ELSINORE, CA–(Sep 24, 2014) – Aja Cannafacturing, Inc. (OTCQB: AJAC) announced today Mr. Kendall A. Smith is now a member of the Board of Directors and started his first day by participating in the Company’s Board meeting yesterday. During that meeting, the Company announced the Board adopted a plan that set a clear path for the Company’s future by designating a leader for each entity. Each leader will build their management team as quickly as possible and develop and execute a definitive plan that includes the raising of new capital.

The Company stated Mr. Smith, a recent addition to its Board of Directors, was selected to become the Chief Executive Officer and President tentatively effective October 1, 2014, with Mr. Plantinga continuing as its Chairman of the Board of Directors for only that period of time necessary to resolve any legacy issues outstanding. The Company will identify and review candidates to appoint to its Board of Directors to expand its base of support in its pursuit of new capital and other new resources. This change in leadership solidifies the Company’s commitment to its new business model and changes how the Company will operate. Mr. Smith is very familiar in the hemp and cannabis space and has the vision for the company to grow and exploit its recently adopted business model.

Charge! Energy Storage, Inc. (CES), its wholly-owned subsidiary, will retain Scott Plantinga as its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors and seek new members to appoint to its Board of Directors. CES will be spun off in a deal that is currently being negotiated by its parent’s Board of Directors. This news follows the announcement on September 15, 2014 that Aja Cannafacturing, Inc. had approved divestiture of Charge!, pending regulatory approval. A highlight of the divestiture plan is that shareholders, as of a date soon to be announced, are scheduled to receive a share in both AJAC and CES on a 1 for 1 pro-rata basis, thus providing greater value and opportunity for shareholders.

In follow up to the previous announcement that Charge! Energy Storage will attend ESNA Expo 2014, Plantinga stated, “We are excited to continue our discussion and development of our strategic partnership with the executive management of FGY Energy Storage Research Institute (FGY Energy Storage Research Institute Co., Ltd. a Jiang Su, China) next week at the ESNA (Energy Storage North America) Expo and Conference in San Jose, California, September 30 – October 2, 2014. For those not familiar with the event, the Energy Storage North America is the largest grid energy storage event in North America and features critical insights into market developments and technology integration, and will have over 1,000 leading customers in attendance along with technology providers and partners that can participate in over 40 conference sessions, hands-on workshops and site tours in Silicon Valley.”

Mr. Plantinga added, “The Investor Deck for CES is complete and the 2-year detailed budget projections have been finalized so we are excited to continue our discussions with this strategic partner as well as other investor groups. Since we will also be attending the show together I look forward to making introductions and speaking with all my colleagues in the energy storage field, some of whom I haven’t seen since last year’s Energy Storage North American conference.”

We are taking effective steps to move the Company forward. The move to resolve the chill issue is one of several EDWY activities since the resignation of Mr. Gary Kimmons, its former CEO, in August, 2013 and his subsequent relinquishment of voting control. Pacific Stock Transfer recently came on board as our new transfer agent. We also are seeking to complete our audit to become fully compliant as a SEC-reporting entity. We are searching to find a satisfactory replacement for the vacated CEO position. An overarching goal will be to accomplish these and other objectives while maintaining a tight share structure.

EDWY is actively pursuing our business mission as an incubator that secures funding for promising technology ventures and takes them public. Our recent activities and accomplishments in this regard will be discussed in forthcoming announcements.

“I am excited to see what we can accomplish.” stated Arne M Ray, Director Tempore. “I believe eDoorways is effectively positioning itself to achieve its business objectives.”

This press release includes assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events. These statements, as well as words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” and “expect,” are intended to be ”forward-looking” statements. We caution that assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events may vary from actual results and the differences can be material. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, such matters as the creditworthiness of our counterparties, the reliability of reserve reports, our ability to extract or acquire coal to fulfill contracts, the consummation of conditional contracts, future operating or financial results; our liquidity position and cash flows, our ability to borrow additional amounts under our revolving credit facility and, if needed, to obtain waivers from our lenders and restructure our debt, and our ability to continue as a going concern; statements about planned, pending or recent vessel disposals and/or acquisitions, business strategy, future dividend payments and expected capital spending or operating expenses, including dry-docking and insurance costs; statements about trends in the product tanker and dry-bulk vessel shipping segments, including charter rates and factors affecting supply and demand; expectations regarding the availability of vessel acquisitions; completion of repairs; length of off-hire; availability of charters; and anticipated developments with respect to any pending litigation. The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. Although NewLead believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond our control, NewLead cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections described in the forward looking statements. Important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the strength of world economies and currencies, general market conditions, including changes in charter rates and vessel values, failure of a seller to deliver one or more vessels, and other factors discussed in NewLead’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
