Mr. Clark is leaving Solar Alliance to pursue other opportunities and will assist the Company to ensure a seamless transition.

    Mr. Timmons is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, with over 30 years of experience in senior positions within companies across a range of industries, including fund management, investment banking, healthcare technology, bioscience, alternative energy and resource companies, telecoms and software IT. A number of these were entrepreneurial, early stage companies, in which he led the process of raising significant levels of finance to fund ambitious growth targets. Mr. Timmons has been the Chairman of the Solar Alliance Board of Directors since February, 2022 and has been integral to the Company’s recent growth and large project execution strategy.

    “On behalf of the Board, I want to express our gratitude to Mr. Clark for his outstanding leadership and resilience during his time as President and CEO. Under his guidance, Solar Alliance has evolved into a leading commercial solar provider in the U.S. Southeast, experiencing revenue growth and achieving profitability for the first half of 2024. I look forward to growing Solar Alliance and building on the work he has done to date. The prospects for continued growth remain high and I am determined to accelerate that growth for the benefit of our customers, shareholders, and the planet,” said Chairman Brian Timmons.

    “It has been an honour to work alongside a great team,” said Mr. Clark. “The appointment of Mr. Timmons as CEO brings significant financial and operational experience to the team. He has been integral to our growth and large project execution strategy and he now brings his expertise to Solar Alliance full time as CEO. Additionally, the financial experience he brings to Solar Alliance is ideally suited for this company at this time given our remarkable growth prospects. I will always remain a strong supporter of Solar Alliance. I look forward to seeing great things from the company as it continues to bring solar energy to the growing commercial solar market,” said Mr. Clark.

    Anton Shihoff, Ken Stadlin and Bob Miller remain as members of the board of directors alongside Mr. Timmons, who remains as Chairman. In connection with this transition, the Company has agreed to issue Mr. Clark an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares of the Company as part of his severance, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

  • MIL-OSI: DNA Fund Acquires Coral Capital; To Manage $50 Million AUM In Web3, AI & Emerging Tech

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • With this acquisition, DNA Fund, known for its big-ticket investments in web3, aims to expand into new verticals, including a Bitcoin & Ether Yield Fund.
    • Coral Capital previously managed the funds of DNA’s principals.

    Puerto Rico, Oct. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — — DNA Fund, the Financial Institution of the future in high-ticket emerging tech and web3 investments, has announced its acquisition of Coral Capital Holdings LLC, an established investment management firm that has previously managed millions in the DNA founders’ personal funds. 

    As early-stage investors in established Web3 brands and founders of some of the sector’s most notable projects, DNA and its founders have invested in or founded projects such as Tether, EOS, Mastercoin, Bancor, and Hedera Hashgraph. The acquisition will see the DNA Fund manage an additional AUM of over $50 million, which includes Coral’s high-yield hedge funds and venture funds focused on DeFi, AI, blockchain, and other emerging technology sectors. Some of Coral’s top-performing investments include Near Protocol and Atmos Labs.

    Thomas L. McLaughlin, Coral’s Chief Investment Officer, will continue in his role, managing the funds with a unique focus and strategy aimed at maximizing investor returns.

    Regarding the acquisition, Christopher Miglino, CEO of DNA Fund, said, By bringing Coral Capital under our umbrella, we are not only expanding our investment capabilities but also enhancing our ability to offer unique, high-growth opportunities to our clients. Our combined expertise allows us to navigate the complexities of the digital asset landscape and continue delivering value to our investors.”

    Thomas L. McLaughlin, CIO of Coral Capital Holdings, added, “Joining forces with DNA Fund is an exciting new chapter for Coral. Our shared vision for leveraging technology to drive financial growth is perfectly aligned. Together, we are set to redefine what’s possible in digital asset investments and deliver superior results for our investors.”

    Since its inception in 2021, Coral has delivered consistent returns with innovative strategies, delivering high multiples on the benchmark of the overall market cap of digital assets. Coral’s Flagship fund, initially started as a market-neutral vehicle, was rebranded in 2023 as a discretionary liquid token, surviving a number of high-volatility events, including FTX and Terra.

    With a 61.6% return (net of fees) and a maximum annual drawdown of only 11.6% in FY 2022, these funds have outperformed the broader digital asset market. Over a similar period, Bitcoin returned 36.7%. 

    Through this acquisition, DNA Fund also aims to capitalize on the growing interest from institutional investors and expand into several new verticals over the coming year, including a Bitcoin & Ether Yield Fund, as well as more speculative funds focused on AI, memecoins and microcaps.

  • MIL-OSI: Royale Energy Announces Plans to Accelerate Growth Transaction to Simplify Capital Structure

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN DIEGO, Oct. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Royale Energy Inc. (“Royale” or the “Company”), a Delaware-based corporation, is pleased to announce the successful completion of a series of strategic financial transactions aimed at simplifying its capital structure and more closely aligning the interests of its diverse stakeholders. This series of transactions better positions Royale to pursue future growth opportunities and continue on the path toward relisting on a major exchange.

    As part of this comprehensive effort, Royale Energy Inc. has executed key agreements that include the issuance of common stock, stock options, and Series 2024 Senior Unsecured Promissory Notes in exchange for all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. As a result, Royale now has one class of equity outstanding, its common stock. These transactions were conducted with former holders of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and other long-term liability holders, effectively resolving over $24 million of Series B Preferred liquidation preference value and approximately $3 million of pre-merger liabilities.

    The recapitalization initiative involved the issuance of common stock and promissory notes to settle outstanding claims, alongside stock options granted as part of an exchange agreement. These measures not only strengthen Royale’s financial position but also ensure that the interests of all stakeholders are more closely aligned with the Company’s long-term objectives.

    “By simplifying our capital structure, we are positioning Royale to pursue new opportunities that align with our growth strategy and deliver enhanced value to our shareholders” said Chris Parada, Chairman of Royale Energy Inc. “This important step will enable the company to gain greater access to even more strategic opportunities as well as access to more traditional sources of capital. I would like to express my gratitude to the former preferred stockholders, other stakeholders, and the Royale Board for their efforts to conclude this transformational recapitalization.”

    Johnny Jordan, CEO of Royale Energy Inc., added, “Consolidating all shareholders into a single class of stock demonstrates our commitment to building shareholder value for everyone. This move underscores our dedication to creating a unified and equitable structure that benefits all of our investors.”

    Royale Energy Inc. remains committed to executing its strategic vision and delivering value through disciplined financial management and targeted growth initiatives. The successful completion of these transactions marks a significant step forward in the Company’s ongoing efforts to streamline operations and enhance shareholder value.

    About Royale Energy Inc.: Royale Energy Inc. is a Delaware corporation engaged in the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas. The Company is focused on creating long-term value through the efficient management of its assets and strategic partnerships.

  • MIL-OSI: DeFi Technologies’ Subsidiary Valour Strengthens Nordic Market Strategy with Transfer of Crypto ETPs to Spotlight Stock Market

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • Strategic Move in Nordic Market: Valour Inc., a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, will transfer 19 of its ETPs from the Nordic Growth Market to the Spotlight Stock Market in Stockholm, aiming to enhance its position in the Nordic ETP market and support growth in crypto-related instruments.
    • Increased Liquidity and Market Expansion: With this move, Valour’s ETPs, which generated approximately SEK 14.3 billion (US$1.3 billion) in trading volume over the past year, will increase to 23 listings on Spotlight, positioning the company for greater liquidity and market expansion.

    TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DeFi Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “DeFi Technologies”) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: RB9) (OTC: DEFTF), a crypto-native technology company at the forefront of merging traditional capital markets with decentralized finance (“DeFi“), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Valour Inc. (“Valour“), a leading issuer of exchange-traded products (“ETPs“) providing simplified access to digital assets, will delist 19 ETPs from the Nordic Growth Market (“NGM”) on exchange business close on 18 October 2024, and relist them to the Spotlight Stock Market (“Spotlight”) in Stockholm, Sweden on 21 October 2024. This decision represents a significant step in Valour’s growth strategy within the Nordic market and strengthens its position in the ETP segment, particularly for digital asset-related instruments.

    Over the past twelve months, Valour’s ETPs have generated a trading volume of approximately SEK 14.3 billion (US$1.3 Billion), and the move to Spotlight is anticipated to support continued strong growth and increased liquidity. With this transition, Valour will have a total of 23 instruments listed on Spotlight, establishing Valour as a significant player on this marketplace.

    “The collaboration with Spotlight Stock Market allows us to accelerate the pace of launching new instruments in the market. While we will initially have 23 instruments listed on Spotlight, our goal is to double that number. Together with Spotlight, we aim to become Europe’s leading platform for crypto ETPs,” says Johanna Belitz, Head of Nordics at Valour.

    “We are very proud and pleased with our collaboration with Valour, which has given our ETP segment a strong start since its launch as recently as June of this year. By transferring all of its ETPs to the Spotlight Stock Market, Valour is advancing a relationship that holds high expectations, particularly for increasing the number of high-quality instruments traded in a secure environment. Additionally, Valour’s ETPs will now be traded on a platform with substantial potential for increased international trading,” comments Spotlight Stock Market CEO Anders Kumlin.

    Among the ETPs being transferred are popular products based on Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana as underlying assets. Valour emphasizes that holders of these instruments will not need to take any action regarding the listing change, which is expected to proceed smoothly with the first trading day on Spotlight scheduled for October 21, 2024.

    This transition marks a new phase in Valour’s partnership with Spotlight and is a key part of its long-term goal to expand and strengthen its presence in the international market for digital asset ETPs.

    NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Oct. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — Sustain Southern California (“Sustain SoCal”), proudly announces today that it will host the 15th Annual Energy Event on Thursday, October 24, 2024. The acclaimed event will be held in person at The Cove at UCI Beall Applied Innovation 5270 California Avenue, Irvine, CA, United States.

    With over a decade-and-a-half of experience, Sustain SoCal is renowned for accelerating cleantech economic growth and sustainability initiatives through innovation, collaboration and education throughout Southern California and the surrounding region. The upcoming event is the latest in the highly-regarded Annual Energy series which focuses on exploring the status of decarbonization solutions across major pillars of the economy including industrial, commercial and governmental sectors.

    Drawing on their considerable experience and expertise, invited speakers, senior decision makers and industry veterans will share their unique perspectives on several pressing concerns such as engineering technology, incentive structures, policy tools, and the legislative ecosystem’s role in mainstreaming the decarbonization of energy supplies.  

    Speakers at Sustain SoCal events represent a cross-section of real world initiatives from local government and other public agencies, utilities, technology companies, large corporate adopters, hospitals, hotels, schools, seasoned investors, and non-profit agencies.

    To address the region’s sustainability goals, and highlight the challenges of the evolving energy-scape, discussions will encompass a wide spectrum of topics including electrification, hydrogen, Inflation Reduction Act, renewables, built environment, agriculture, grant incentives, investor trends, ESG and innovation policy. During these galvanizing conversations, attendees will experience world-class educational content and build a deeper understanding of pragmatic solutions that support sustainable decarbonization.

    While showcasing the latest advancements from local energy innovators, the event series has always focused on being a launchpad for exciting new partnerships and high-powered networking to drive sustainable economic development and progress towards wider sustainability goals.

    At the Innovation Showcase, senior company officials and pioneering developers will interact directly with attendees to explore and discuss the latest technology developments and breakthroughs.

    Scott Kitcher, President, and CEO of Sustain SoCal, said, “Global energy networks are central to modern civilization and our economic model. However, rigorous scientific research and advanced environmental surveys have conclusively shown that the energy-scape is precariously positioned due to the weight of our legacy systems. The combination of lasting environmental damage, accelerating climate change effects, power shortages and frequent disruptions, changing demographic profiles, and geopolitical challenges that impact economic prospects via growth trajectories and inflation, has necessitated a rapid transition in humanity’s relationship with energy. The most urgent concern is to accelerate decarbonization to stave off the potential for cataclysmic effects in the decades to come. We, at Sustain SoCal, are proud to have supported local innovators, energy thinkers and policy pioneers in their quest to usher in an age of responsible energy systems, and in building a new and robust ecosystem in Southern California and beyond. Our October conference is a must-attend event for anyone interested in the lasting, sustainable prosperity of our communities, and shall also offer an eye-opening experience into state-of-the-art technologies and revolutionary policy initiatives.”   

    BioLargo, Inc., and Caltrol, Inc., are Platinum Sponsors for this event.

    The Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) is a Gold Sponsor.
