The recently closed projects will create and retain nearly 50 jobs across key rural markets.

TFG’s USDA bridge-to-permanent platform is available in all 50 states and every U.S. territory, providing borrowers in rural communities with access to flexible financing structures tailored to their timing and growth needs. In a market climate defined by rate uncertainty and capital constraints, borrowers value the security of a 30-year fully amortizing loan with no balloons or call provisions – exactly what USDA lending can provide.

“Peace of mind in today’s economy is priceless,” added Chandler. “Our ability to deliver both speed and long-term stability makes us a trusted partner for developers, business owners, and project sponsors across the country.”

MIL-OSI: Alation Acquires Numbers Station to Unlock a New Era of Agentic Workflows

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alation Inc., the leader in enterprise data intelligence, today announced that it has acquired Numbers Station AI, a pioneer in building AI agents for data workflows. The combined capabilities of Alation and Numbers Station will accelerate the ability of data and engineering teams to quickly build and deploy a new class of AI-native analytics applications featuring agentic workflows that operate with enterprise-grade governance and context.

Organizations are demanding more effective ways to leverage their data for insights and real-time decisions, particularly in the era of AI. Despite its promise, scaled adoption in production use cases continues to be a challenge. For organizations to achieve what is truly possible with AI, they need systems that are trustworthy and deeply integrated with diverse enterprise data ecosystems.

Structured data—such as customer records, supply chain records, and financial transactions—represents an organization’s most critical assets. AI agents struggle to understand and take action on that data due to incomplete semantics and data definitions, unclear governance policies, and missing context of the lineage and data quality of the underlying data sets. Without this foundation, agents risk producing inaccurate outputs and violating privacy and compliance requirements.

Together, Alation and Numbers Station are uniquely positioned to close this gap. By combining Numbers Station’s agents with Alation’s rich metadata foundation, customers will be able to build intelligent applications that reason over structured data, understand business context, and automate real-time decision-making—all while maintaining rigorous governance and compliance standards. This will unlock a new era of agentic workflows that can deliver tangible business outcomes at enterprise scale.

“Numbers Station has proven the impact AI agents can have in the enterprise when companies are able to trust this new way of working and brings an exceptional team that shares our obsession with empowering data users,” said Satyen Sangani, co-founder and CEO of Alation. “Together, we’re laying the foundation for the next decade of enterprise data intelligence—one where humans and agents collaborate seamlessly to turn data into action.”

“From the start, our vision has been to enable anyone to be a data app builder,” said Chris Aberger, co-founder and CEO of Numbers Station. “By joining forces with Alation, we’re pairing our AI-native foundation with the most trusted enterprise data intelligence platform. This unlocks a future where agents don’t just find data—they do more with it.”

Numbers Station, AI & Solving The Structured Data Problem for Businesses

Founded out of Stanford’s PhD lab for machine learning and AI, the Numbers Station team authored the first academic paper to demonstrate how large language models could be deployed to meet the complex, domain-specific needs of enterprise data leaders. Numbers Station’s agents bring automation and natural language interaction to tasks like data analysis, visualization, and end-to-end action—helping data teams build AI-native applications faster with more confidence.

As part of the acquisition, the Numbers Station team will join Alation to drive continued innovation at the intersection of AI and data. All existing Numbers Station customers will be fully supported and will benefit from expanded resources and roadmap continuity under Alation’s platform.

To learn more about the acquisition, read the blog, “Alation Acquires Numbers Station: Enabling AI to Understand Structured Data at Scale.”

About Alation
Alation is the data intelligence company. More than 600 global enterprises — including 40% of the Fortune 100 — rely on Alation to realize value from their data and AI initiatives.

PORTLAND, Ore., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Exterro, a global leader in unified data risk management solutions, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking Exterro Partner Network (ExPN). This transformative, global, strategic program redefines how organizations tackle complex data challenges by reimagining the partner ecosystem, creating unrivaled revenue opportunities and establishing a new paradigm for customer success.

“In today’s fragmented data risk landscape, true innovation demands powerful alliances,” stated Exterro Chief Revenue Officer, Jim Cox. “We’re not just launching a partner program—we’re creating a movement that equips solution providers, law firms, service providers, developers, and resellers with unprecedented capabilities to capture market share. ExPN delivers the comprehensive framework, specialized expertise, and strategic advantage partners need to capitalize on the rapidly expanding data risk management marketplace.”

BREAKING THE GROWTH CEILING
ExPN fundamentally transforms business potential for partners by providing the industry’s only truly unified approach to data risk management. This breakthrough ecosystem eliminates the limitations of traditional partner programs, enabling organizations to deliver sophisticated, high-margin solutions while simplifying technology relationships. By leveraging Exterro’s award-winning platform, partners establish themselves as indispensable strategic advisors capable of addressing interconnected data challenges across the enterprise landscape.

“The market has been constrained by point solutions from a variety of vendors that create complexity rather than clarity,” explained Bruce Holbert, senior director of Channel Sales at Exterro. “ExPN shatters this paradigm. Our partners can now deliver immediate strategic value while simultaneously positioning themselves at the forefront of future data risk challenges—all through a single, comprehensive platform that grows alongside their business objectives.”

Today’s organizations operate in an environment defined by accelerating litigation risks, rising regulatory scrutiny, and increasing cyber threats. Fragmented, point-based tools are no longer sufficient to manage the growing complexity of data across legal, compliance, and security domains. In the face of these challenges, ExPN creates win-win-win scenarios for resellers, service providers, systems integrators, and technology companies and end customers alike. Partners’ deep expertise, combined with cutting edge Exterro technology, delivers complete data risk management solutions that unify e-discovery, digital forensics and incident response, and data privacy, security, and governance workflows within a single, easy-to-use platform.

Global Expansion and ExPN Access
The Exterro Partner Network is now open to qualified partners across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. As part of the launch, Exterro will engage with new and existing partners through briefings, joint planning sessions, and targeted go-to-market initiatives, creating join go-to-market plans to support the needs of enterprises around the world.

“Since our founding, we’ve been partnering with the world’s most complex organizations to help them deliver software with speed, safety, and choice,” said Anuj Kapur, CEO of CloudBees. “CloudBees Unify builds on that foundation of trust and openness, giving enterprises the flexibility to integrate what works, govern at scale, and modernize on their own terms, without the need to rip and replace. We’re meeting them where they are and helping them move forward with confidence.”

CloudBees Unify takes a unique approach to this challenge. It enables organizations to consolidate governance, standardize security, and accelerate delivery without discarding existing systems. Unlike traditional DevOps platforms, CloudBees Unify acts as an operating layer on top of any existing toolchain, using an open and modular architecture that connects seamlessly with popular tools like GitHub Actions and Jenkins. The result is modernization without disruption.

“CloudBees Unify understands what many platforms miss—ripping and replacing simply doesn’t work at the enterprise level,” said Sudhakar Parakala, VP of IT and Applications at Synaptics. “We need solutions that complement our existing systems, not conflict with them. That’s exactly why CloudBees Unify is so compelling to us.”

Key benefits and capabilities of CloudBees Unify include:
- Unified Control Plane: A central interface for CI/CD, offering real-time analytics, governance, and compliance across hybrid environments and diverse toolchains.
- Progressive Adoption Model: Integrate with traditional systems to support incremental modernization, avoiding costly lift-and-shift migrations.
- Continuous Security: Built-in, automated security scans and compliance enforcement embedded in the SDLC, reducing risk without interrupting developers.
- AI-Driven Testing and Optimization: Smart Tests optimize test coverage per commit, and AI-enhanced workflows reduce triage time and accelerate delivery.
- Artifact Traceability and Unified Releases: Provide full transparency and governance across every deployment, critical for teams managing at scale.
- GitHub Actions and Config-as-Code Integrations: Streamline developer workflows while enabling policy enforcement and traceability by default.
- AWS SaaS Marketplace: CloudBees SaaS has earned the “Deployed on AWS” designation in AWS Marketplace, making it eligible to count toward customers’ AWS committed spend.
This launch comes as the company continues its commitment to bring digital transformation to the Global 2000. Since announcing its SaaS offering in November 2023, CloudBees has seen early and accelerating adoption, with nearly 10% of customers now leveraging the SaaS product. The debut of CloudBees Unify builds on that momentum, marking the company’s next chapter as it expands its SaaS footprint and delivers enterprise DevOps solutions built for the future of software delivery.

CloudBees is offering early access to CloudBees Unify to existing customers today, with full availability expected in Fall 2025. To learn more, contact their team.

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

WATERTOWN, Mass., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cangrade today announced the launch of Jules interview practice tool, designed to help jobseekers refine their interview skills through personalized, on-demand mock interview sessions. Building on the success of Jules for self-discovery, this new capability simulates real interview scenarios by analyzing a user’s job description and resume to generate tailored behavioral and soft skill questions dynamically.

Survey findings show an overwhelming number of job seekers (93%) have experienced interview anxiety. The stakes are high, considering more than half of all candidates are rejected at the first interview stage, and 30% of interviewers made their decision about a job seeker within the first five minutes of the interview. Being prepared can help put candidates at ease and perform their best when it counts.

Cangrade’s interview practice tool empowers jobseekers to avoid the common trap of “practicing” during real interviews, and instead, enter each opportunity ready. Users can customize their experience by selecting the number of questions in each category and receive immediate feedback with AI-driven scoring and improvement suggestions.

Key benefits include:
- Landing your dream job by enhancing your interview performance.
- Mastering interview techniques by receiving real-time feedback and scoring.
- Practicing before the stakes are high, so you’re not learning on the spot.
- Customizing your preparation to align with the job you want.
- Practicing anytime, anywhere, with on-demand accessibility.
“We launched Jules for self-discovery as an AI-powered career coach, offering highly personalized, actionable strategies to help users up-level their personal and professional lives,” said Gershon Goren, Founder and CEO, Cangrade. “Our interview practice tool is a natural extension of this, helping people overcome one of the biggest pain points of jobseeking, and showing up for real interviews with confidence.”

MIL-OSI: Payscale Leads the Way with New Innovative Compensation Solutions That Solve Critical Data Gaps
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

SEATTLE, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Payscale Inc., the leading compensation data technology company, today announced the availability of two new data sets and two new integrated AI solutions to empower organizations to make strategic pay decisions with confidence, as part of its new approach to compensation intelligence.

These industry-leading solutions come as Payscale research reveals compensation decision makers are grappling with a significant pay data confidence gap. Almost half (47 percent) of the HR and business leaders surveyed by the company reported that despite the significant amount of data and surveys available, it’s not what they need to produce effective compensation insights.

The survey of 500 compensation decision makers across HR and business leadership shows openness to AI, with two thirds (64 percent) stating they would turn to AI to fill critical compensation data gaps.

“Compensation is any organization’s largest investment and its greatest opportunity,” said Payscale CEO, Chris Hays. “While fair pay remains a constant priority, relying on inaccurate or incomplete data costs employers in wages, retention, and overall performance. Our groundbreaking data model combines advanced AI with real-world data to provide detailed insights so HR and business leaders can confidently make decisions about any job, anytime, anywhere.”

Timely, trusted data augmented with AI

To help organizations address these challenges and make more confident compensation decisions, Payscale’s innovative new data approach goes beyond traditional compensation data sets to combine trusted data with advanced AI modelling for the highest level of accuracy, depth, and transparency.

Verse merges Payscale Peer data, a revolutionary approach to the compensation survey, with advanced AI modeling to enable organizations to price any job across any level, industry, size, or location.
- Payscale Pulse: Industry surveys for business services, colleges and universities, construction, healthcare, and retail have been added to AI-enhanced dataset, Payscale Pulse. This dataset is updated quarterly with fresh data and new jobs, that includes industry and international surveys.
“Raw compensation data is not enough. Businesses need true compensation intelligence to make confident and strategic pay decisions,” said Payscale Chief Product Officer, Peh Teh. “By combining trusted, real-world data with industry-leading AI, organizations can make decisions with unmatched transparency and unparalleled insights. This is different than anything else in the market today.”

Intelligent compensation insights and intuitive automation

New, intelligent solutions will deliver a next-generation user experience that streamlines the way organizations gather compensation insights, ensuring the process is efficient, consistent, and intuitive as organizations scale.
- Payfactors Explore is a groundbreaking new experience combining fresh market data and tailored insights, transforming how users interact with real-time compensation information. Integrating AI, Payfactors Explore surfaces insights that offer a dynamic view of the market. Organizations can try Explore with three complimentary searches in Payfactors Free, Payscale’s entry-level compensation tool.

This solution, available in both Payscale Payfactors and Payscale Marketpay, prioritizes efficiency without sacrificing precision, and empowers customers to self-manage the process with technology instead of needing to outsource the work or rely on service teams.
Payscale unveils new brand identity at WorldatWork

To reinforce its commitment to innovation and intelligent compensation solutions, Payscale has unveiled a bold refresh to its brand identity. The new look reflects Payscale’s category leadership and track record for delivering compensation confidence to the market.

Australia digital health market to grow at 8% CAGR through 2034, forecasts GlobalData.

Posted in Medical Devices

The digital health market in Australia is set for expansion. This growth reflects the increasing integration of digital technologies into healthcare and rising demand for more accessible, efficient, and personalized medical services. With these factors in play, the digital health market in Australia is set to grow at compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 8% through 2034, forecasts GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

GlobalData’s research reveals that Australia accounted for 12% of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) digital health market in 2024. This growth is fueled by the ongoing technological advancements, particularly the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), along with improvements in functionality and user experience.

Shamreen Parween, Medical Devices Analyst at GlobalData, comments, “The move toward digital health marks a transformative shift in the landscape of modern healthcare, fundamentally altering how medical services are delivered, integrated, and perceived. This change redefines patient care by enabling more seamless coordination among providers, enhancing the overall healthcare experience, and embracing innovative, technology-driven approach to treatment and wellness.”

AusBiotech, Australia’s life sciences industry body, has recently partnered with ANDHealth, the country’s provider of commercialization support for digital and connected health. This strategic partnership aims to deeply embed digital health within the broader life sciences and biotech sectors, facilitating a culture of innovation and accelerating the advancement and adoption of transformative health technologies. Together, they aim to drive the seamless integration of digital health solutions, paving the way for improved healthcare outcomes and sustained industry growth.

Parween concludes: “Digital health is transforming the healthcare landscape by improving efficiency, and supporting more individualized, patient-centered care. Its impact extends far beyond clinical settings, creating new job opportunities, expanding market opportunities, and enhancing the overall quality and accessibility of care.”

FIFA and Wanda Group partnership largest annual sponsorship deal in construction and real estate sector, reveals GlobalData

Posted in Sport

In 2016, Wanda Group signed a 15-year deal, which sees the brand serve as a top-tier FIFA partner. Under the agreement, Wanda secured rights to all FIFA competitions and corporate activities, extending through the 2030 World Cup, with a deal value reported to be approximately $56.57 million per year. Alongside the brands’ partnership with FIFA, Wanda Group is the highest spending brand across the construction and real estate sector in 2025, reveals GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

GlobalData’ s latest report, “Sponsorship Sector Report – Construction & Real Estate 2025”, reveals that across the construction and real estate sector, soccer commands the top position in terms of annual sponsorship revenue and deal volume in 2025. Mitsui Fudosan is recognized as the most active brand across the sector, boasting 11 active partnerships in 2025.

Olivia Snooks, Sport Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Wanda Group was the first Chinese company to achieve top-tier partner status with FIFA. The partnership between Wanda Group and FIFA aims to facilitate the advancement of grassroots soccer development in China and across China.”

Saudi Arabia has seen a surge in the construction and real estate sector’s involvement with the sports sponsorship industry and occupies a significant portion of the higher-value partnerships across the sector. Brands including Roshn and Red Sea Global, both are owned by the Saudi backed Public Investment Fund (PIF) have both partnered with teams competing in the Saudi Professional League, the top-flight soccer league in Saudi Arabia. Roshn’s naming rights partnership with the Saudi Professional League is one of the largest partnerships across the sector.

Snooks continues: “The PIF’s involvement in the sponsorship activities across the Saudi Professional League has had a major impact on soccer across Saudi Arabia. The PIF has essentially taken control of the biggest clubs across the Saudi Pro League, as well as the league itself. Through Roshn serving as the league’s title partner and the PIF owning four of the biggest clubs across the league, this enables the fund to not only benefit from one of their brands gaining exposure but also four of their teams gaining more revenue.”

Despite a decline in the number and total value of transactions within the construction and real estate sector from 2018 to 2019, the industry has experienced consistent year-over-year growth in both the quantity of agreements signed and their cumulative annual worth through 2023. Between 2023 and 2024, the volume of deals signed plateaued; however, the annual value of these deals increased. Taking this into consideration, it could be suggested that even though the volume of deals agreed upon has not increased, the value of the deals that brands across the sector are committing to is growing.

Snooks concludes: “2025 will present uncertainty for the global economy given the tariffs, which have been implemented by US President Donald Trump. As tariffs elevate the expense of imported materials, including steel and aluminum, construction firms frequently find themselves absorbing these increased costs. The degree to which these developments will influence the construction and real estate sector’s engagement in the sports sponsorship arena remains to be determined.

“However, it is important to mention that as the tariffs only apply to materials being imported into the US, for brands that do not do business in the US, they are less likely to be affected; the situation is also very changeable with tariff rates changing and having already been postponed for 90 days since the original announcement.”

Cautious investor sentiment pulls global deal activity down 5% YoY in first four months of 2025, finds GlobalData

Posted in Business Fundamentals

Cautious investor sentiment has weighed heavily on the global deal landscape, with mergers and acquisitions, private equity, and venture financing activities collectively declining by approximately 5% year-on-year (YoY) during the first four months of 2025. Geopolitical uncertainty and macroeconomic headwinds have prompted dealmakers to adopt a more selective, risk-averse approach, leading to a slowdown across major markets, reveals GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

The contraction in deal volume during the first four months of 2025 can be primarily attributed to 4.3% reduction in M&A activity, which accounts for more than half of the combined total of all deal types.

An analysis of GlobalData’s Deals Database revealed that private equity and venture financing deals also faced contractions, indicating a cautious approach from investors amid uncertain market conditions.

The number of private equity deals announced during the first four months of 2025 showcased a decline of 4.5% compared to January-April 2024 while venture financing deals volume were down by 6.8% YoY.

Aurojyoti Bose, Lead Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “The global decline can be attributed to several factors, including geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic challenges that have made dealmakers risk-averse. As companies reassess their growth strategies, many seem to have opted for organic growth over acquisitions, leading to a slowdown in M&A activity. Additionally, investors are becoming selective and cautious while making investment decisions.”

North America continues to dominate the global deal activity. However, it has not been immune to the slowdown, recording a YoY decline of around 4%. The US, historically a powerhouse in deal-making, reported a decrease in deal volume, reflecting a broader trend of caution among the dealmakers. Similarly, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South and Central America also experienced declines of around 7%, 3%, 11% and 13%, respectively.

Bose adds: “Despite the overall downturn, certain markets have shown resilience suggesting that these may serve as a beacon of opportunity amid the global decline.”

India, for instance, recorded a growth of around 13% in deal volume. Japan also demonstrated a positive trend with a growth rate of approximately 25%. Meanwhile, the US, the UK and China witnessed their respective deal volume fall by around 4%, 7% and 15%, respectively, during January-April 2025.

Bose concludes: “The global deal landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as we move further into 2025. However, it is essential to recognize that certain markets are still thriving, reflecting a shift in focus towards nations that offer growth potential despite broader economic challenges.”

Note: Historic data may change in case some deals get added to previous months because of a delay in disclosure of information in the public domain.

Supply chain remains resilient in M&A landscape despite 13% YoY fall in deal value in Q1 2025, reveals GlobalData

Posted in Strategic Intelligence

Amid the impact of heightened geopolitical uncertainties and low growth across all the major economies, the first quarter of 2025 saw an overall decline in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deal value of 13% compared to the same quarter in 2024. Supply chain resilience was the single most important theme, with $84 billion in supply chain-related transactions across 25 deals, covering sectors like healthcare and materials, reveals GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

Priya Toppo, Strategic Intelligence Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Amid rising geopolitical tensions, demographic shifts, stricter ESG regulations, persistent labor shortages, and rapid digital transformation, companies are sharpening their focus on supply chain-related M&A activity. To mitigate risks and boost operational efficiency, they are increasingly investing in resilient, localized, and technology-enabled supply chains. This was especially true in the healthcare, materials, industrials, and consumer sectors.

The biggest supply chain deal was Sycamore Partners’ acquisition of Walgreens Boots Alliance for $23.7 billion. This deal was also the biggest in the consumer sector in Q1 2025. It was followed by Borouge Group International’s acquisition of Nova Chemicals for $13.4 billion and QXO’s acquisition of Beacon Roofing Supply for $10 billion.

Toppo continues: “An ongoing trend is the dominance of North America in M&A deal activity, accounting for 2,920 deals worth $380 million during Q1 2025. However, North America, Europe, China, APAC Ex-China, and the Middle East and Africa all saw a YoY decline in deal value.”

Toppo concludes: “The M&A outlook for the rest of 2025 is cautiously optimistic. Prospects of rate cuts in certain markets and an overall improving global growth outlook could drive increased activity. However, mega-deals may continue to face challenges, particularly in the US, where antitrust scrutiny remains a key focus for regulators.”

Press release

£1 billion BioNTech investment sets way for jobs, growth, breakthroughs

Covid-19 vaccine pioneers BioNTech commit to up to £1 billion, 10-year investment in the UK.
Covid-19 vaccine pioneers BioNTech commit to up to £1 billion, 10-year investment in the UK.

New research and AI centres to be established in London as well as Cambridge – demonstrating the benefits of the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor – to develop the next generation of life-changing medicines.

Underpinned by up to £129 million of government support, this agreement underscores the government’s commitment to life sciences as a key part of the Plan for Change, driving improvements in healthcare, and delivering economic growth.

Hundreds of highly skilled jobs will be created, and new research centres will be set up aimed at making new advances in medical science, thanks to a planned investment of up to £1 billion into the UK by world-leading biopharmaceutical company BioNTech announced today (Tuesday 20 May).

This is one of the biggest investments in the history of UK life sciences, made possible with government backing – all part of plans to support this growth-driving sector as part of the Plan for Change, and our mission to turbo-charge economic growth in every part of the country.

This historic investment is a testament to the confidence in the UK life sciences – one of the priority sectors of the economy that will form a key part of the forthcoming Industrial Strategy – as a driver of economic growth, job creation, and innovations that could overhaul what’s possible in healthcare. The sector is already thriving, worth £108 billion to the economy and providing more than 300,000 highly skilled jobs across the country. But through measures like our commitment to investing up to £520 million in the sector through the Life Sciences Innovative Manufacturing Fund, we want to boost UK life sciences to even greater heights, bolstering our ambitions to grow the economy, create jobs, and building on the UK’s position as the second-most attractive destination for international investment.

BioNTech will invest in the UK over the course of the next 10 years as part of an ambitious plan to significantly expand their presence here. That will see them create two new R&D hubs, the first to be based in Cambridge, as well as an AI hub to be based at BioNTech’s planned UK headquarters in London. These are planned to create more than 400 new highly skilled jobs over the next 10 years, including researchers in clinical and scientific drug development, bioinformatics, and a range of supporting functions. Indirectly, the investment is also likely to create a substantial number of additional jobs in the supply chain.

BioNTech are the pioneering company behind mRNA vaccines and cancer immunotherapies notably used to tackle COVID-19, and more recently trialled to help patients with cancer.

According to the Academy of Medical Sciences, every £1 spent on medical research delivers a return of 25p, every year, forever after that, so the long-term economic impact of an investment in research on this scale, speaks for itself. This is the government’s Plan for Change, in action, and shows how our ambitions for the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor are already pulling international investment into the UK.

BioNTech signed an agreement finalising the investment together with Science Secretary Peter Kyle today. As part of the agreement, the government will contribute up to £129 million in grant funding over a period of 10 years.

Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said:

This investment will propel the growth-driving life sciences sector to new heights, delivering cutting-edge facilities, building careers in the future-facing jobs we want our children to have, and ultimately unlocking progress in medical science that could save lives.

This is a clear indication of how we will deliver the government’s Plan for Change: working together with the best and brightest businesses and innovators to unlock their potential, and then reap the benefits for the economy, health and more that their drive and genius can deliver.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, said:

This is another testament to confidence in Britain being one of the world’s top investment destinations and a global hub for life sciences. It will create hundreds of high-skilled, well-paid jobs, as we deliver on our promise to put more money in working people’s pockets through our Plan for Change.

CEO and co-founder of BioNTech, Uğur Şahin, said:

This agreement marks the next chapter of our successful strategic partnership with the UK government. Together, we have already made a meaningful difference in expanding access to investigational personalized cancer therapies for patients. Now, we are taking the next step to accelerate and broaden our research and development efforts advancing towards our vision to translate science into survival for patients.

In Cambridge, BioNTech plans to set up a new R&D centre focused on genomics, oncology, structural biology, and regenerative medicine. In London, BioNTech intends to establish its UK headquarters, which will be home to a new AI hub led by InstaDeep Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of BioNTech SE, and a leading global technology company in the field of AI and machine learning. This hub will enable medical research, using AI, including looking into understanding disease causes, drug target selection and predictive analytics.

Over time, this work could lead to the discovery and development of new therapies, diagnostics and treatments for a range of diseases that currently cause heartbreak for countless patients and their families – all supporting the mission to rebuild the NHS for the long-term, that sits at the heart of the government’s Plan for Change.

It also builds on the government’s existing strategic partnership with BioNTech, to provide up to 10,000 patients with investigational personalised cancer immunotherapies by 2030. This is already transforming the experience of patients by broadening access to cancer vaccine trials in the UK.

The government’s support for BioNTech’s investment is a further example of how we are backing the UK’s thriving life sciences sector to even greater success – following on from the announcement of the Life Sciences Innovative Manufacturing Fund at the Autumn Budget, and strategic collaborations agreed with other innovative life sciences companies. We will say more about our vision for a thriving future for UK life sciences in the forthcoming Life Sciences Sector Plan.

Steve Bates, CEO of the UK BioIndustry Association, said:

BioNTech’s investment demonstrates the UK’s position as a top destination for life sciences innovation and underlines why the government is absolutely right to back our sector as a priority for growth.

BioNTech is not only a pioneer in mRNA science, but also a visionary partner in building a truly unique public-private collaboration with the UK government and NHS – one that sets a benchmark for the world.

The UK has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leverage its strong position to attract investment from global investors to create well-paid jobs and scale UK companies, if the upcoming Life Sciences Sector Plan can address long-standing structural challenges in the financing and commercial environment.

Richard Torbett, Chief Executive of the ABPI, said:

This investment is a testament to the fantastic skills, research capabilities, and scientific infrastructure we have in the UK. It is also a template for how the UK could unlock further life science sector growth by removing the barriers and roadblocks to investment.

Big investments like this are years in the making and require both sides to have confidence that the other will deliver on their commitments. Trust is slow to build, but this deal shows it is worth the time and the risk.

Life science companies are already the largest investors in UK R&D – but much of this comes from a handful of companies with deep UK roots. The UK has an opportunity to capture more of the global science pie if we can improve our competitive offering to the sector.

MIL-OSI Global: Nonprofit news media leaders are struggling to stop leaning on the foundations that say they should branch out more

Source: The Conversation – USA – By Katherine Fink, Associate Professor of Media, Communications, and Visual Arts, Pace University

If the basket falls, at least there are some other eggs on hand that might not break. Iryna Veklich/Moment via Getty Images

You’ve probably heard the adage about not putting all your eggs in one basket.

It’s an especially meaningful one for newspapers. For decades, they relied heavily on advertising revenue. That arrangement stopped working about 20 years ago, as audiences moved online and advertisers followed. News media outlets moved online as well, but they found themselves in a losing battle for advertising dollars against new digital competitors such as Craigslist, Facebook and Google. One-third of U.S. newspapers have closed in the past two decades, most of them local.

As their income from ads and subscriptions has dwindled, some news organizations that used to rely mainly on ad revenue, such as The Salt Lake Tribune and Philadelphia Inquirer, have become nonprofits – opening the door to other sources of revenue. And interest in launching news organizations as nonprofits has been growing. Meanwhile, some for-profit media outlets have begun to obtain some philanthropic support and ask for donations from readers and subscribers.

I’m a journalism studies researcher and a former journalist myself. To better understand how news leaders were thinking about their future in this ever-evolving landscape, I researched the fundraising approaches of local nonprofit news outlets across the U.S.

I interviewed 23 local news leaders about their fundraising strategies and their views on the best way to balance their sources of funding in the long term. What I found is that nonprofit news media outlets are finding it necessary to pursue multiple streams of revenue, including from foundations, in the search for sustainable business models. But the ideal revenue mix may look different for each organization.

Foundations are footing half the bill

Foundations, especially the Knight Foundation, have become major supporters of nonprofit news media in recent years. According to the Institute for Nonprofit News, foundations provided about half of all revenue for nonprofit news media in 2023. Another 29% came from individual donations. And 17% came from ads and other sources of earned, rather than donated, revenue.

Money raised through grants from foundations can arrive in larger amounts and be more predictable than advertising revenue. But it often comes with strings attached. For example, in exchange for a grant, a media outlet might be pressured to adjust its editorial priorities or adopt specific technologies.

The nonprofit news leaders I interviewed also said foundations tend to be more interested in starting new organizations than sustaining media outlets that are already up and running.

Some foundations are now making that point clearer than ever by telling the nonprofit news organizations they have supported not to depend too much on them anymore. The Knight Foundation and other funders have informed potential applicants they must demonstrate they are pursuing revenue diversity as a condition for getting a grant.

In other words, nonprofit media shouldn’t put all of their eggs in the foundation basket, either.

Branching out

The local news leaders I interviewed said they didn’t necessarily see having a variety of revenue sources as a path to sustainability. And adding new revenue streams comes with costs, such as hiring membership directors or advertising salespeople. Local news leaders said it’s hard to know whether making those investments will pay off.

Still, under pressure to rely less on foundations and more on other types of revenue, they’ve been branching out in recent years. According to the Institute for Nonprofit News, foundations provided 57% of nonprofit news revenue in 2018; in 2024, that share had declined to 51%.

But it’s not clear how much more revenue could come from other sources. Donations from readers tend to be provided in small amounts, so news organizations need a lot of them. And individuals donate to news organizations for a variety of reasons, so news organizations need to hire fundraisers who can craft a variety of messages. Getting large numbers of readers to donate is hard, however, because audiences for local news tend to be small.

Nonprofit news organizations can also accept advertising. However, advertising is a taxable form of revenue, unlike donations. The IRS has also warned organizations that they can lose their tax-exempt status if they accept too much income that is “unrelated” to their nonprofit missions, including advertising.

Pooling donor funds

Ultimately, the nonprofit news leaders I interviewed say every type of revenue has its drawbacks. And the more complicated their revenue mix becomes, the more complicated their approach to fundraising has to be.

Local news organizations already operating on shoestring budgets don’t have the capacity to complicate their fundraising, even though they say they agree with the general principle of revenue diversity.

The nonprofit news leaders did have encouraging things to say about a newer fundraising trend: pooled donor funds. With pooled donor funds, multiple donors contribute to a single charity that serves as an intermediary that disburses that donated money to a particular kind of nonprofit.

For the media, examples include the Institute for Nonprofit News’ NewsMatch and Press Forward, a coalition of 20 foundations.

Pooled donor funds can be considered a form of revenue diversity, since they combine contributions from multiple sources and are used to persuade individual readers to “match” donations from the pooled funds with their own contributions. That can potentially insulate news organizations from major changes as grants from individual foundations come and go.

Researching the role of ‘earned revenue’

I plan to publish the results of another study soon. It’s about the role that “earned revenue,” meaning advertising, sponsorships and other entrepreneurial sources of money, is playing in the funding of nonprofit news media.

The Institute for Nonprofit News has called it “perhaps the most underutilized revenue stream for nonprofit news.”

But the nonprofit news leaders I interviewed had mixed feelings about earned revenue. In part, that was because of ambiguous guidance about how much of it news organizations may accept without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status.

Given President Donald Trump’s recent threats against other nonprofits, including universities and hospitals, news organizations may be even more reluctant to test those limits.

MIL-OSI Global: The one-size-fits-all diversity training model is broken – here’s a better alternative

Source: The Conversation – USA – By Radostina Purvanova, Professor of Management and Organizational Leadership, Drake University

Diversity training is more effective when it’s personalized, according to my new research in the peer-reviewed journal Applied Psychology.

As a professor of management, I partnered with Andrew Bryant, who studies social marketing, to develop an algorithm that identifies people’s “personas,” or psychological profiles, as they participate in diversity training in real time. We embedded this algorithm into a training system that dynamically assigned participants to tailored versions of the training based on their personas.

We found that this personalized approach worked especially well for one particular group: the “skeptics.” When skeptics received training tailored to them, they responded more positively – and expressed a stronger desire to support their organizations’ diversity efforts – than those who received the same training as everyone else.

In the age of social media, where just about everything is customized and personalized, this sounds like a no-brainer. But with diversity training, where the one-size-fits-all approach still rules, this is radical. In most diversity trainings, all participants hear the same message, regardless of their preexisting beliefs and attitudes toward diversity. Why would we assume that this would work?

Thankfully, the field is realizing the importance of a learner-centric approach. Researchers have theorized that several diversity trainee personas exist. These include the resistant trainee, who feels defensive; the overzealous trainee, who is hyper-engaged; and the anxious trainee, who is uncomfortable with diversity topics. Our algorithm, based on real-world data, identified two personas with empirical backing: skeptics and believers. This is proof of concept that trainee personas aren’t just theoretical – they’re real, and we can detect them in real time.

But identifying personas is just the beginning. What comes next is tailoring the message. To learn more about tailoring, we looked to the theory of jujitsu persuasion. In jujitsu, fighters don’t strike. They use their opponent’s energy to win. Similarly, in jujitsu persuasion, you yield to the audience, not challenge it. You use the audience’s beliefs, knowledge and values as leverage to make change.

In terms of diversity training, this doesn’t mean changing what the message is. It means changing how the message is framed. For example, the skeptics in our study still learned about the devastating harms of workplace bias. But they were more persuaded when the message was framed as a “business case” for diversity, rather than a “moral justice” message. The “business case” message is tailored to skeptics’ practical orientation. If diversity training researchers and practitioners embrace tailoring diversity training to different trainee personas, more creative approaches to tailoring will surely be designed.

Why it matters

The Trump administration is leading a backlash against diversity initiatives, and a backlash to that backlash is emerging. This isn’t entirely new: Diversity has long been a contentious issue.

Organizations like the Pew Research Center, the United Nations and others have consistently reported a conservative-liberal split, as well as a male-female split, around diversity. Diversity training has done little to bridge these gaps.

For one, diversity training is often ineffective at reducing bias and improving diversity metrics in organizations. Many organizations treat diversity training efforts as a box-checking exercise. Worse, it’s not unusual for such efforts to backfire.

Our research offers a solution: Identify the trainee personas represented in your audience and customize your training accordingly. This is what social media platforms like Facebook do: They learn about people in real time and then tailor the content they see.

To illustrate the importance of tailoring diversity training specifically, consider how differently skeptics and believers think. One skeptic in our study – which focused on gender diversity training – said: “The issue isn’t as great as feminists try to force us to believe. Women simply focus on other things in life; men focus on career first.” In contrast, a believer said: “In my own organization, all CEOs and managers are men. Women are not respected or promoted very often, if at all.”

Clearly, trainees are different. Tailoring the training to different personas, jujitsu style, may be how we change hearts and minds.

What still isn’t known

Algorithms are only as good as the data they rely on. Our algorithm identified personas based on information the trainees reported about themselves. More objective data, such as data culled from human resources systems, may identify personas more reliably.

Algorithms also improve as they learn over time. As artificial intelligence tools become more widely used in HR, persona-identifying algorithms will get smarter and faster. The training itself needs to get smarter. A one-time training session, even a tailored one, stands less of a chance at long-term change compared with periodic nudges. Nudges are bite-sized interventions that are unobtrusively delivered over time. Now, think about tailored nudges. They could be a game changer.

The Research Brief is a short take on interesting academic work.

MIL-OSI Russia: Making the MFF Fit for Purpose

Source: IMF – News in Russian

Opening Remarks by Alfred Kammer, IMF European Department Director, for the Annual EU Budget Conference

May 20, 2025

Thank you for the opportunity to join this important discussion today on the EU budget.

Europe stands at a transformative crossroads. The global environment is increasingly complex, and structural changes are reshaping the foundations of European economies. The challenges before us are significant: strengthening productivity and resilience amid demographic aging and rising geopolitical and trade tensions while increasing defense spending in a fiscally sustainable way, and enhancing energy security and accelerating the clean energy transition.

This is an extraordinary combination of challenges, and it will take an extraordinary effort to meet them. The key is to combine (i) a determined push to complete the single market with (ii) national reforms to allow Europe’s firms to grow to scale. The benefits of doing both promise to be much larger than EU-level and national efforts could achieve on their own. For example, dropping “red tape” that holds back firms at the national level will have a significant larger effect on investment when supported by a much deeper and fully integrated European capital market. And (iii) we will need the EU budget to amplify these efforts by enabling the joint provision of European public goods and incentivizing national reforms. Just think of the importance of energy security for the single market—this is just one example of a European public good where the EU budget has an important role to play.

The Multiannual Financial Framework, or MFF, has proven its strategic importance time and again. It has supported economic convergence through cohesion policy, and, more recently, the ambitious NextGenerationEU package launched in 2020 helped Europe recover from the pandemic with renewed resilience.

Yet, once again, the scale and nature of the challenges ahead require a fundamental rethink. To remain fit for purpose, the upcoming MFF must undergo a comprehensive overhaul. Our recommendations focus on three critical areas.

First, a more ambitious budget with a stronger focus on European public goods is needed.

Over time, the MFF has evolved to reflect emerging needs, but it has not kept pace with the expanding list of challenges that demand a joint EU-level response. Its current size and structure are insufficient to meet the scale of new investments required.

The budget must prioritize areas where EU action can deliver the greatest value—by generating positive spillovers, leveraging economies of scale, and also avoiding duplication between member states. These are the hallmarks of European public goods. Investments in energy security, defense capabilities, and research and innovation are clear examples where joint EU action is both necessary and efficient.

To meet these needs, we must consider a significant increase in expenditures targeted at European public goods, from 0.4 percent of GNI currently to at least 0.9 percent, based on various estimates from the Commission and others. Doing so without reducing allocations to existing programs would imply increasing the MFF budget by at least 50 percent for the 2028–2034 period, from 1.1 percent of GNI to 1.7 percent of GNI.

In the first instance, more EU spending on public goods would reduce the burden on national budgets for the provision of these public goods. But, importantly, this would not simply shift costs from the national to the EU level. With coordinated EU-level investment, greater efficiency will be achieved and, thus, net savings in the provision of these public goods will be generated. For instance, in the case of investments for the clean energy transition, we estimate that improved coordination at the EU level could reduce aggregate costs by approximately 7 percent. At a time when many countries face tight fiscal constraints, such efficiency gains are critical.

Second, we must ensure the MFF is more performance-based, streamlined, and adaptable.

At the core of this effort should be a stronger focus on performance. Linking financial support more systematically to outcomes—an approach implemented through the Recovery and Resilience Facility—can significantly improve the effectiveness of EU spending. The performance-based approach should be expanded across more areas of the EU budget, particularly where targeted financial incentives can catalyze national and regional reforms that complement EU objectives. But as we expand this approach, we must also ensure it remains as simple and transparent as possible—complexity can hinder both implementation and accountability. Programs under cohesion policy and the Common Agricultural Policy are clear candidates. Importantly, though, effective implementation will also require leveraging local and regional expertise to tailor solutions to specific contexts.

Beyond performance, the design of the MFF must be modernized to reduce complexity and increase strategic focus. Consolidating the more than 50 budgetary programs into a smaller number of thematic clusters, organized around key policy priorities, would help streamline the budget. Moreover, harmonizing requirements across programs would reduce the administrative burden for governments, organizations, and beneficiaries, while improving accessibility and implementation.

The budget also needs to become more adaptable. The events of the past five years have demonstrated the need for greater flexibility to respond to evolving circumstances. Thus, the MFF should be equipped with a greater margin for reallocation within the budget and stronger flexibility instruments—backed by sufficient resources—to address more frequent and intense shocks. A mid-term review process within the regular budget cycle could continue to help respond to changing realities.

Third, the financing framework of the budget must be strengthened.

A more ambitious EU budget will require an enhanced financial capacity. Currently, the MFF is predominantly funded through national contributions based on GNI. To support a step-up in European public goods investment, the financing model should be expanded to include borrowing and more robust own resources.

Borrowing capacity—particularly during the initial investment scale-up—can enable the EU to achieve shared objectives without delay, while smoothing the fiscal impact for member states over time. Moreover, bond-financing can support the further development of a European safe asset, thereby advancing capital market integration and contributing to macro-financial stability.

At the same time, the long-term sustainability of the EU budget requires solid and predictable revenue sources. Progress on new own resources is essential—not only to finance existing debt obligations under NextGenerationEU, but also to underpin future borrowing. The Commission’s proposals, including revenue based on the Emissions Trading System, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and potentially a harmonized corporate tax base under the “Business in Europe” initiative, represent a meaningful step forward.

In the longer term, additional revenue sources linked to European public goods—such as user fees on jointly funded infrastructure—may also play a role as the budget evolves toward supporting more EU-wide investments, even if the scope remains limited for now.

In conclusion, meeting Europe’s complex challenges requires a more impactful EU budget. The next MFF presents a unique opportunity to scale up ambition, deliver on shared priorities, and transform the budget into a true engine for growth, resilience, and European sovereignty.

This will not be an easy path. Increasing the budget, improving its design, and broadening its financing base will all require political consensus across member states. But the potential rewards are significant: a more united, more competitive, and more secure Europe.

Thank you.

MIL-OSI USA: Refining industry risks from 2025 hurricane season

Source: US Energy Information Administration

In-depth analysis

May 20, 2025

Colorado State University’s hurricane forecast estimates the 2025 hurricane season will exceed the 1991–2020 average, with an estimate of 17 named storms, compared with a historical average of 14 storms. Meteorologists expect 13–18 named storms, including 3–6 storms with direct impacts on the United States, during this year’s Atlantic hurricane season, according to reports from AccuWeather in April.

The potential for a stronger hurricane season suggests heightened risk for weather-related production outages in the U.S. oil industry, including potential refinery outages along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Last year, five hurricanes made landfall in the United States, shutting in some upstream crude oil and natural gas production temporarily and disrupting petroleum product supply chains in Florida.

What is hurricane season?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Hurricane Center defines the Atlantic hurricane season as running from June 1 through November 30. Generally, June is the month when the earliest named storms begin forming in the Atlantic Basin, and the most severe hurricanes usually form in August and early September. In the United States, hurricanes most often hit the Southeast (PADD 1C) and the U.S. Gulf Coast (PADD 3).

How do hurricanes affect petroleum refining?

The U.S. Gulf Coast accounts for 55% of total U.S. refining capacity, with the Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana Gulf Coast refining regions combined accounting for 49% of total U.S. refinery capacity. These facilities risk flooding or power outages associated with major storms or hurricanes. Many refinery operators will evacuate nonessential personnel and temporarily stop production if they believe severe weather might injure employees or damage their facilities.

Refineries that sustain major damage or flooding may be taken offline for longer periods. In 2021, Phillips 66’s Alliance refinery in Belle Chase, Louisiana, permanently closed and was transitioned into a storage terminal following significant storm damage.

What determines the scale of a weather-related impact on markets?

A storm’s location is the main determining factor of its impact on petroleum markets, followed by the storm’s intensity. An intense storm that affects a region without refining capacity is unlikely to significantly affect overall U.S. refined petroleum supplies.

Hurricanes can affect local logistics, distribution, and consumption in any affected area. In regions facing an impending major hurricane or other emergency, consumer behavior can also lead to regionalized price increases, local supply shortfalls, panic-buying, and spikes in fuel demand for evacuation purposes.

Hurricanes can also disrupt supply chains for petroleum products. Fuel supplies in Florida are primarily shipped on barges from Gulf Coast refineries, such as those in Texas and Louisiana. Hurricanes and tropical storms can lead to disruptions in these transfers. Retail stations in other regions can also be affected by logistical disruptions or power outages, which occurred in 2012 during Hurricane Sandy.

How much refinery capacity is at risk from hurricanes?

The path of a single hurricane or major storm is unlikely to affect more than a single cluster of refineries along the Gulf Coast. However, because of the total volume of refining capacity in each region, more than 1.0 million barrels per day of capacity could be temporarily taken offline in anticipation of a major storm.

Hurricanes don’t often hinder refining operations in the mid-Atlantic (PADD 1B) region, although what is now the largest refinery on the East Coast—the Bayway refinery in New Jersey operated by Phillips 66—was affected by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Similar incidents or storms that limit imports into New York Harbor also present a potential risk to U.S. petroleum supplies.

More information on energy infrastructure and potential storm risks is available in our U.S. Energy Atlas.

MIL-OSI: Trio enters into Letter of Intent to acquire 2000 acres in P.R. Spring Utah, one of largest tar-sand deposits in North America outside of Canada.

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

California, May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: TPET) (“Trio” or the “Company”), a California-based oil and gas company, is pleased to announce it has entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire 2000 acres at P.R. Spring, Unita Basin, Utah from Heavy Sweet Oil LLC. (HSO). According to a report provided by Dr. Douglas S. Hamilton, who holds Bachelor’s (HONs) and Ph.D. degrees in Geology from the University of Sydney, Australia, P.R. Spring area contains an estimated 6.75 billion barrels of OOIP within its basin boundary limits. This information was ascertained through detailed mapping of bitumen outcrops by various authors*, analysis of historical core hole and petroleum exploration wells, and examination of laboratory-derived measurements of porosity and oil saturation from 100’s of cores.

An Optimization Study conducted by Dr Amanda Bustin, President of Bustin Earth Science Consultants, indicated a typical project well has an estimated ultimate recovery (“EUR”) of 300,000 barrels of oil with stable production rate exceeding approximately 40 barrels of oil per day. The 2000-acre parcel will support up to 1000 wells in seven well pods. Once complete Trio believes that the project, fully developed, could provide upwards of 50,000 barrels a day with an approximate 20-year life. With an expected initial total drilling and completion cost of less than $800,000 per well and declining with scale, we believe the economics and size of the opportunity are superlative and transformative for a company like Trio.

The initial product from these wells will be commercial grade asphalt directly from the site for 90% of the production with an estimated 10% balance being a diesel range product. Both products are low sulfur and are expected to demonstrate a very low carbon footprint. This may enable our project to sell both spec commercial grade asphalt binder, which is expected to sell locally at a premium to WTI, as well as green diesel that is expected to sell at an even higher margin to WTI (per Valkor Oil and Gas LLC project developer and operator).

Samples of produced oil from Heavy Sweet’s Asphalt Ridge project, which is located next to the P.R. Spring in the Unita Basin, confirm oil composition and above-ground facilities have been designed allowing for the separation of the two products, asphalt and diesel, providing the ability to capture product prices superior to WTI.

The Operator is Heavy Sweet Oil, LLC, in partnerships with Valkor Oil and Gas LLC, a vertically integrated project development company with expertise in shallow heavy oil and in green and socially beneficial hydrocarbon projects.

According to J. Wallace Gwynn of Energy News, the P.R. Spring Project is known to be one of the largest tar-sand deposits in North America outside of Canada, making it a potential giant oilfield, and is distinctive given its low wax and negligible sulfur content, which is expected to make the oil very desirable for many industries, including shipping. The project has the potential to be both large and highly profitable.

As a result of this new opportunity, Trio allowed its option for an additional 77.75% in Asphalt Ridge to expire.

Terms of Acquisition

Upon the execution of the LOI by the Parties, Trio paid HSO a non-refundable payment of $150,000 for the option to acquire 2,000 acres of Trio’s choice and develop the P.R. Spring Project.

Upon Trio entering into a Definitive Agreement with HSO for the P.R. Spring Project, at the closing of the Proposed Transaction (“Closing”) it is expected that Trio shall (i) issue to HSO 1,492,272 restricted shares of Trio’s common stock and (ii) pay to HSO $850,000, in cash, which shall be applied toward the acquisition and development of the P.R. Spring Project.

It is also expected that Trio will provide 100% of the required capital expenditures for the development of the P.R. Spring Project, and Trio and HSO will each be entitled to 50% of the net profits derived from the P.R. Spring Project.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Definitive Agreement, it is intended that Trio will construct a minimum of seven production wells in connection with the P.R. Spring Project, during the two-year period after the Closing.

It is also expected that the Definitive Agreement will contain such other terms and conditions as are customary in an acquisition of this nature including, without limitation, representations and warranties, conditions for Closing and applicable indemnifications.

Trio’s obligation to enter into the Definitive Agreement shall be subject to delivery of evidence of a minimum sustained production rate of 40 barrels per day for a continuous 30-day period from each of the two wells at the Asphalt Ridge site.

*Gwynn published a Utah Geological Survey Open-File Report (no. 527) in 2008 that exhaustively compiled tar sand data for the P.R. Spring area from numerous resource-characterization and hydrocarbon reserve investigations. This compilation defines the area of the tar sand deposit at P.R. Spring (figure 4). Geological maps and measured sections of the tar sand deposits are presented in Whittier and Becker (1962) and Byrd (1967), and Gwynn (1971) and Clem (1984) attempted correlation of the bitumen-bearing sandstone units. Properties of the tar sand deposits are published in Johnson and others (1975a, b, c), Dana and Sinks (1984a, b), and Sinks (1985). Analysis of oil extracted from the tar sands is documented in Wood and Ritzma (1972). Reserves and economic potential are discussed in Dahm (1980) and Clem (1984).
