LYNCHBURG, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) today announced a $28 million, 12-month contract award from the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) for the final design of a transportable microreactor prototype under the second phase of its Project Pele initiative.


SCO is partnering with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop, prototype and demonstrate a mobile microreactor that can be used to provide resilient power needs for the DoD for a variety of operational needs. Consistent with its role as an independent safety and security regulator, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is providing SCO with additional technical expertise and information on regulatory and licensing processes for advanced reactors to ensure a safe, secure and innovative design. Such reactors provide the opportunity to make the DoD’s domestic infrastructure more resilient to an electric grid attack, while fundamentally simplifying energy logistics and delivery for forward operating bases without increasing carbon emissions.

BWXT announced a $14 million award in March 2020 for initial design under the first phase of this project. Following completion of this second design phase of the project, as well as of the ongoing environmental analysis under the National Environmental Policy Act, SCO could competitively award the manufacturing and deployment of the transportable nuclear reactor prototype in a demonstration phase.

“We believe that our innovative designs, combined with our existential licensed facilities and manufacturing capabilities, set BWXT apart in the microreactor market,” said Ken Camplin, president of BWXT’s Nuclear Services Group. “Our engineering capabilities are ideally suited for projects like this that require pairing first-of-a-kind technological solutions with proven production techniques to develop a fresh option for meeting power generation needs.”

A team led by BWXT’s Advanced Technologies LLC subsidiary will conduct the work primarily at one of its Lynchburg, Virginia locations beginning in March 2021.

Forward Looking Statements

BWXT cautions that this release contains forward-looking statements, including statements relating to the performance, timing, impact and value, to the extent contract value can be viewed as an indicator of future revenues, of the second phase of the SCO contract, future work with SCO, or the exercise of any contract options. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, modification or termination of the contract, funding of current or future work, and delays in and proving the technology. If one or more of these or other risks materialize, actual results may vary materially from those expressed.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Hydropower Generation Market by Capacity, Medium Hydro Power Plant and Large Hydro Power Plant: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global hydropower generation market was valued at $202.4 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $317.8 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2020 to 2027.

Hydropower is the electricity produced from generators driven by turbines that convert the potential energy of falling or fast-flowing water into mechanical energy. The hydropower generation is highly capital-intensive mode of electricity generation but being renewable source of energy with no consumables involved, there is very little recurring cost and hence no high long-term expenditure. It is cheaper as compared to electricity generated from coal and gas fired plants. It also reduces the financial losses due to frequency fluctuations and it is more reliable as it is inflation free due to no usage of fossil fuel.

The global hydropower generation market is primarily driven by the growing demand for reliable and continuous electricity from the industrial sector. Increase in supply-demand gap has been a prime concern for utilities which led to the significant investments toward the development of sustainable power generation sources including hydropower. Growing investments toward the replacement of traditional power generating technologies with advanced sustainable and clean solutions is expected to drive the growth of the market. For instance, regulators across European Union has set target to reduce carbon emissions by 20.0% by 2020 from 1990 levels, by promoting the utilization of renewable resources such as hydropower.

However, requirement of high capital and operational expenditures, along with long gestation periods restrains the growth of the global hydropower generation market. Furthermore, growth in demand for renewable power and surge in hydropower install capacity across the developing economies such as China and India are expected to provide new growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.

The global hydropower generation market size is segmented on the basis of capacity and region. Based on capacity, the market is fragmented into small hydro power plant (up to 1MW), medium hydro power plant (1MW-10MW), and large hydro power plant (above 10MW). Region wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

COVID-19 analysis:

The production of hydropower is expected to hamper during and after the lockdown due to halted development of hydro power projects due to non-availability of workers and limited liquidity. According to the UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization), 30.0%-70.0% of pre-COVID-19 workforce working on development of hydro power projects has migrated back to their hometowns due to uncertainties and loss of income during the lockdown. This non-availability or less availability of workforce will directly affect the annual production of hydropower due to halted development of power plants.

Crestwood and First Reserve have agreed to a series of transactions that provide First Reserve a complete exit from its investment in Crestwood Equity Partners LP, transferring control of the general partner interest to Crestwood and transitioning Crestwood to a publicly elected board of directors in accordance with ESG strategy

Transaction results in greater than 15% accretion to distributable cash flow per unit, increased free cash flow, larger public trading float and enhanced credit profile

Strong performance year-to-date and favorable full-year 2021 outlook drive an increased full-year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA estimate of $575 million to $625 million

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crestwood Equity Partners LP (NYSE: CEQP) (“Crestwood”) today announced that it and Crestwood Holdings LLC (“Crestwood Holdings”) have executed a series of definitive agreements whereby Crestwood will acquire approximately 11.5 million common units and the general partner interest from Crestwood Holdings for total consideration of approximately $268 million. In addition, in a separate press release issued today, Crestwood announced that First Reserve priced a private placement of six million common units for total proceeds of $132 million. With the combination of these transactions, First Reserve expects to have fully exited its investment in Crestwood. Crestwood will retire the approximate 11.5 million outstanding common units currently held by First Reserve, and transition to a publicly elected Board of Directors. Additionally, the Board of Directors has authorized a $175 million opportunistic common and preferred unit repurchase program.


Highlights of the Transactions and Updated Strategic Initiatives:

  • Enhanced corporate governance: The transactions enable the implementation of a traditional public company governance structure with a publicly elected board of directors further ensuring alignment between management and the Board of Directors with common unitholders, consistent with Crestwood’s long-term ESG strategy.
  • Significantly accretive: Distributable cash flow per unit metrics are significantly enhanced with the buyback and retirement of approximately 11.5 million common units, or approximately 15% of total common units outstanding, resulting in annual common distribution savings of approximately $29 million based on the current annual rate of $2.50 per common unit.
  • Larger and more diversified investor base: The transactions and related dispositions of Crestwood common units by First Reserve are expected to result in the increase of Crestwood’s public trading float by approximately 12% with more diverse institutional ownership and allow First Reserve to exit its large block ownership position of approximately 24% of total common units outstanding in Crestwood in a strategic and well executed manner.
  • Credit enhancing: The transactions improve Crestwood’s outlook with the rating agencies with the complete repayment of the Term Loan B at Crestwood Holdings and improve Crestwood’s consolidated capital structure under the agencies’ methodology.
  • Unit Repurchase Program: In connection with the transactions and enhancements to Crestwood’s future governance structure and investor alignment, Crestwood’s Board of Directors has also approved a $175 million common unit and preferred unit repurchase program effective through December 31, 2022.

“Today marks a great milestone in the history of Crestwood with the buy-in of First Reserve’s interest in a transaction that enhances our alignment with common unitholders, improves our financial flexibility, and advances our strategic objectives to be a best-in-class midstream infrastructure company and maximize returns to our unitholders,” stated Robert G. Phillips, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crestwood’s general partner. “I would like to thank the First Reserve organization for their support, guidance and partnership over the last ten years as they helped us tremendously to build Crestwood into a premier midstream company. Crestwood has established a track record of solid execution, disciplined capital allocation and a commitment to embracing a best-in-class MLP sustainability program. Today’s announcements are the next logical steps in our strategy to drive peer leading governance and set the stage for future growth by simplifying our organizational structure, increasing our public float and liquidity, and enhancing our financial flexibility as we strive to generate long-term value for our unitholders.”

Gary D. Reaves, Managing Director of First Reserve said, “First Reserve would like to thank the Crestwood organization for its partnership over the past ten years. While today marks the culmination of over a decade of First Reserve’s ownership of Crestwood, we will certainly maintain our long-standing relationships with the Crestwood team and all Crestwood stakeholders, and we exit this investment proud of all that Crestwood has achieved in the past decade including its leadership role in MLP sustainability initiatives. We continue to believe the outlook is bright for the Crestwood organization and look forward to watching its future success in the years to come.”

Transaction Details

Under the terms of the transactions, First Reserve will exit its investment in Crestwood which included 17.5 million common units, approximately 24% of total common units outstanding, and control of the general partner. In a series of transactions, First Reserve has entered into agreements with third parties to sell six million common units representing limited partner interests in Crestwood, with expected total proceeds of $132 million. In addition, Crestwood expects to repurchase the general partner interest and the remaining 11.5 million units held by First Reserve with $268 million drawn on its existing $1.25 billion revolving credit facility.

Following completion of the transactions, Crestwood will have approximately 62.8 million common units outstanding, representing an approximate 15% reduction in total common unit count. Crestwood’s buyback of First Reserve’s common units results in annual cash distribution savings of approximately $29 million based on the current annual distribution rate of $2.50 per common unit. The closing of the repurchase of First Reserve’s common units is expected to occur on March 30, 2021 and the closing of the acquisition of the general partner interest is expected to occur in the coming months and is not subject to any closing conditions.

The transactions between Crestwood and First Reserve were unanimously approved by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of the general partner of Crestwood following review with legal counsel Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and rendering of a fairness opinion to the Conflicts Committee from Evercore. Following the approval by the Conflicts Committee, these transactions were unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of the general partner, with First Reserve affiliated directors abstaining.

Today’s announcement does not affect Crestwood’s nor First Reserve’s ownership in Crestwood Permian Basin Holdings LLC (“CPJV”). CPJV was formed in November 2016 to develop, own, and operate vital midstream infrastructure assets in the Delaware Basin and is held in a separate 10-year fund that First Reserve formed in 2014.

Crestwood to Transition to an Elected Board

Gary D. Reaves and William R. Brown will resign from the Board of Directors at closing of the initial transaction, which is scheduled for March 30, 2021. Going forward, to enhance its corporate governance sustainability initiatives, Crestwood will transition to a fully elected board with traditional public company oversight that includes a staggered board feature, term limits, and a continued commitment to board diversity. Crestwood will maintain a board composed of seven directors until such time as it can appoint two independent replacements.

Revised 2021 Outlook

Based on preliminary results, Crestwood estimates it will exceed its first quarter 2021 budget as a result of outperformance driven by stronger than expected commodity prices. Based on Crestwood’s preliminary first quarter 2021 results, today’s announced transactions, and a favorable commodity price outlook for the remainder of 2021, Crestwood is revising its full-year financial outlook as it no longer expects the previous Adjusted EBITDA range of $550 million to $610 million to accurately reflect business performance in 2021. These projections are subject to risks and uncertainties as described in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section at the end of this release.

  • Net income of $100 million to $150 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $575 million to $625 million

  • Distributable cash flow available to common unitholders of $335 million to $385 million
  • Free cash flow after distributions of $130 million to $180 million
  • Full-year 2021 coverage ratio expected to be greater than 2.00x
  • Full-year 2021 leverage ratio expected to be lower than 4.25x
  • Growth project capital and joint venture contributions and maintenance capital spending remain unchanged in the range of $35 million to $45 million and $20 million to $25 million, respectively

Common and Preferred Unit Repurchase Program

Crestwood announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a $175 million common unit and preferred unit repurchase program effective immediately through December 31, 2022. This program is intended to supplement the company’s deleveraging goals and utilize additional free cash flow to optimize its long-term cost of capital and generate value for common unitholders. Crestwood plans to continue to prioritize its capital allocation strategies towards first achieving its long-term leverage target of 3.5x to 4.0x, but believes that the unit repurchase program is an incremental tool that can be used for allocation of strong free cash flow generation going forward to accomplish its chief objective of maximizing value for its investors. Crestwood may purchase common and preferred units from time to time in the open market in accordance with applicable securities laws at current market prices, in privately negotiated transactions or pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The timing and amount of purchases under the program will be determined based on ongoing assessments of leverage goals, growth capital opportunities, financial performance and outlook, and other factors, including acquisition opportunities and market conditions. The unit repurchase program does not obligate Crestwood to purchase any specific dollar amount or number of units and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Biogas Plants - Global Market Trajectory & Analytics" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global market for Biogas Plants is projected to reach US$ 6.8 billion by the year 2027, trailing a post COVID-19 CAGR of 6.7% over the analysis period 2020 through 2027.

The severe impact of COVID-19 pandemic in areas with high level of air pollution has prompted the researcher community to explore the direct link between severity of the infection and air quality. Various scientists have indicated a perceived association between spread of the virus along with fatality rates and air pollution. Poor air quality adversely affects human health and leaves people susceptible to various infectious diseases including COVID-19.

In 2020, medical conditions associated with air pollution are estimated to claim around 7 million lives globally. Air pollution is a key contributor to various medical conditions including heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, respiratory infections and lung cancer. The impact of pollution on human health and the immune system makes can be hold responsible for severe COVID-19 symptoms experienced by a large number of people living in polluted areas.

For instance, Wuhan, the epicenter of the pandemic, is one of the most polluted cities globally. In addition, a significant fraction of fatalities related to COVID-19 in Italy have been registered in areas with poor air quality. Moreover, the COVID-19 virus is carried by polluted air as it can stick to PM10 or PM25 particles to remain airborne for a long time. The fact indicates that areas with high concentration of particulate matter hold high risk of virus transmission.

These perceptions point towards effective measures to implement green options, including biogas, for reducing carbon emissions and air pollution levels. The production and utility of biogas, mainly bio-methane, improves air quality. Biogas presents an eco-friendly substitute to fossil fuels for generating heat and electricity, and supporting transportation.

Bio-methane presents an effective option to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change, which holds positive implications for human health. Cities and countries that have embraced clean air policies such as the use of biogas as transportation fuel are expected to witness less mortality, paving way for effective strategies to promote these sustainable options.

The wake of COVID-19 pandemic has provided countries with the unique opportunity for rebuilding on low-carbon, sustainability agendas for dealing with rising concerns over climate change. The scenario has prompted regions to shift away from fossil fuels towards green technologies, with Europe leading the pack in these endeavors.

The drive is likely to benefit sustainable options including wind, solar and hydrogen along with biogas that offers more than energy and holds potential to cut greenhouse gas emissions by around 12% by the year 2030. The anaerobic digestion process intended to produce biogas involves treatment of organic waste that otherwise emits hazardous emissions in landfills. The approach converts the waste into green gas that can be exploited for transport, heat and power.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Triazine Market Research Report: By Type (1,3,5-Triazine, 1,2,3-Triazine, 1,2,4-Triazine), Product (Monoethanolamine, Monomethylamine), End Use (Medical, Agriculture, Chemical, Oil & Gas) - Global Industry Analysis and Growth Forecast to 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global triazine market to reach $814.55 million by 2030 from $518.68 million in 2019, at 5.6% CAGR during 2020-2030.

Triazine offers pharmacological properties, such as anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action, owing to which the compound finds several applications in the medical sector. Besides, the molecule is also significant in pharmaceutical chemistry, as it is used in the development of new drugs. Additionally, 1,3,5-triazine isomer is used as a prominent structure in acetoguanamine, aceto-guanide, ammeline, and cyanuric acid, as it is one of the oldest-known organic compounds. Naturally occurring antibiotics, like toxoflavin, reumycin, and fervenulin, contain triazine ring structure, which makes the compound an important ingredient for novel drugs.

Moreover, the compound is used as a scavenger chemical in oil reservoirs to separate hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from crude oil through stripping process. Petroleum companies keep a track on H2S concentration in reservoirs, as it is a flammable, corrosive, and life-threatening gas, to comply with safety protocols related to operation and exploration of oilfields. Triazine is also injected into production pipelines to minimize corrosion and operational risks imposed by petroleum products.

The oil & gas industry primarily uses 1,3,5-triazine-based derivative for scavenging purposes, as it is the most stable isomeric form of the compound and is an important component of monoethanolamine (MEA). The MEA is used by the petroleum companies as a scavenger in hydrogen stream and H2S mercaptan. Thus, the expansion of the oil & gas sector, on account of the surge in exploration and production (E&P) activities, will amplify the usage of MEA in the foreseeable future.

Houston Channel Expansion Progressing and Port Improvements Continue

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority met virtually in a regular session on Tuesday. Port Chairman Campo opened the meeting with an update on the progress of the Houston Ship Channel Expansion program Project 11. “It’s moving from planning and design into execution and moving dirt this year,” he said.



Chairman Campo then said the next steps are to negotiate the Project Partnership Agreement, or PPA, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, initiate those parts of the project that Port Houston can start, and continue exploring how the industry will contribute to project costs.

The Chairman also emphasized that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has committed to implement its “New Start” authority, and federal appropriations for the first contracts for Segment 1A, before the fourth quarter of this year. He also highlighted the significant public interest in the Project 11 microsite https://www.expandthehoustonshipchannel.com/.

In his operational update, Executive Director Roger Guenther reported that cargo volumes in March have been solid, and indications are that this level of activity would continue through at least mid-year.

He said, however, “not surprisingly,” both container volume and export loads were down in February due to the winter storm. “Production of petrochemical products like resin was hampered because many facilities were down due to the storm, but we think that production will recover soon,” Guenther said.

Commission actions taken at the meeting supported continued investment in growth, including approving a lease agreement with Portwall Partners, Ltd. for resin packaging operations at a 55-plus acre site near the Bayport Container Terminal.

The next regular Port Commission meeting is scheduled for April 27.

Hydrogen use cases for microgrids include resiliency, renewables integration, and clean mobility


BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#CleanEnergy--A new report from Guidehouse Insights provides detailed and actionable recommendations on how distributed hydrogen systems can help microgrids reach 100% clean energy and net zero carbon goals.

Hydrogen is enjoying a resurgence among energy ecosystem and clean transportation stakeholders, and a variety of governments and private sector vendors are now experimenting with new applications for green and blue hydrogen. Though many of these efforts are focused on large-scale infrastructure plays, promising innovation is occurring with smaller distribution systems applicable for microgrids. Click to tweet: According to a new report from @WeAreGHInsights, distributed hydrogen systems can drive clean energy microgrids.

“Hydrogen is emerging as a key enabling technology for microgrids and is helping to further enable resiliency, renewables integration, and clean mobility,” says Peter Asmus, research director with Guidehouse Insights. “In the coming years, incremental innovation and strategic partnerships should help to drive hydrogen adoption in microgrids.”

To position for success, Guidehouse Insights recommends stakeholders develop an incremental approach to hydrogen deployment to mirror current microgrid practices, learn about scale and synergy of distributed hydrogen systems from early pilot projects, forge strategic partnerships for multiservice microgrids (electricity, thermal, transit, and water), and choose projects in the most challenging markets initially before moving to the most promising.

The report, Distributed Hydrogen Systems Drive Clean Energy Microgrids, looks at early pilot programs showcasing distributed hydrogen systems and microgrids. The majority of microgrids deploying distributed hydrogen systems as of early 2021 have been remote microgrids developed in locations where there is no traditional grid, let alone pipeline infrastructure for natural gas that could be repurposed for hydrogen. Hydrogen was the key enabling technology to reach 100% renewable energy for most of the case studies presented in the report. An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.

MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ProPetro Holding Corp. (“ProPetro”) (NYSE: PUMP), a Midland, Texas based hydraulic fracturing service company, today announced a new partnership with Fluid Energy Group Ltd.® (“Fluid”) and Solnexus Chemical LLC (“Solnexus”) to become one of the largest distributors of the Enviro-Syn® Modified Acid™ and Synthetic Acid™ product line in the West Texas and Permian Basin region. Fluid’s proprietary product line will expand ProPetro and Solnexus’ chemical service offering to provide safer, more sustainable, eco-friendly and technologically advanced chemical systems to their customers in the area.


“ProPetro is committed to identifying new technologies in hydraulic fracturing that reduce overall environmental impact and allow us to produce hydrocarbons in the safest and most efficient manner possible,” said Phillip Gobe, Chief Executive Officer of ProPetro. “We identified Fluid’s Modified Acid™ technology, which helps reduce the environmental impact associated with one of the most hazardous chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing operations, hydrochloric acid. We are proud to partner with both Fluid and Solnexus to push this innovative and sustainable product into our supply chain. This partnership is consistent with our corporate objectives including environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. The ability to deliver ESG-friendly alternatives to our customers is a value-added opportunity which benefits all stakeholders.”

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is commonly used in hydraulic fracturing operations to decrease pumping pressures so that injection fluids can be pumped at sufficiently high rates to initiate fractures within the formation. However, HCl is extremely hazardous if not handled properly.

Due to the low-corrosive nature and easier handling properties of Fluid’s Modified Acid™ and Synthetic Acid™ systems, these products can be delivered and utilized far more efficiently than traditional HCl by:

  • Delivering concentrated material and diluting onsite, reducing truck traffic deliveries by up to 66%
  • Speeding up stage completion times, resulting in reduced idle horsepower time and decreasing diesel consumption
  • Reducing water volume requirements for stage completions, saving up to 1.5MM gallons of water per well

“Fluid’s patented or patent-pending Modified Acid™ and Synthetic Acid™ portfolio offers options that are non-corrosive to dermal tissue, eco-friendly, biodegradable and demonstrate low toxicity compared to HCl, as well as being non-regulated for ground transportation in the United States,” explained Clay Purdy, CEO of Fluid. “We are very pleased to partner with ProPetro on this important initiative.”

JANESVILLE, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SHINE Medical Technologies LLC today announced that construction of the exterior structure of its first-of-a-kind medical isotope production facility is complete and the building is weathertight, a major milestone with significance for SHINE, the medical isotope industry and patients around the world.



Reaching the weathertight milestone moves SHINE one step closer to providing a flexible, reliable supply of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) and other neutron-produced isotopes to customers, physicians and patients. It means that the 46,000-square-foot building is now sealed against the elements and the installation of SHINE’s high-tech process equipment can begin. The production facility has been built to withstand tornados, airplane crashes and other catastrophic events, and is expected to be a major producer of medicine for decades to come.

“This milestone marks a leveling-up for our team, which includes our internal staff, but also all those who helped do the work in the field,” said Greg Piefer, founder and CEO of SHINE. “We’ve now demonstrated we can execute against a challenging first-of-a-kind nuclear build and do so within schedule and budget contingencies— all during a global pandemic. I am incredibly proud of the grit, dedication and skill of all those involved as we worked together to tackle complicated problems in challenging conditions. The results of the team’s hard work say a lot about their extraordinary dedication, talent and commitment to improving the lives of patients everywhere.”

Please click here to view a short video about SHINE’s achievement of this milestone.

The plant is expected to be the largest medical isotope production facility in the world by capacity. SHINE is installing the specialized process equipment in the facility during the next year, and expects to begin producing Mo-99 in late 2022.

“Baker Concrete Construction is proud to be one of SHINE’s partner in the construction of this important facility and we’re excited to have been given the opportunity to play a key role in getting the project to weathertight,” said Matt Jorn, project executive of Baker. “We understand what this plant means, not just to SHINE, but to patients around the globe. This commitment makes our involvement in the facility’s construction even more meaningful. Doing our part to bring the facility to weathertight is something that the entire Baker team takes great pride in.”

In addition to Baker, SHINE’s construction partners include J.H. Findorff & Son Inc., Sargent & Lundy LLC, Lycon Inc., and Westphal & Co.

Effective Friday, March 26, 2021

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: GCEH) (“GCEH” or the “Company”) today announced that it has filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, at a ratio of 1-for-10. The effective time of the reverse stock split will be 8:00 a.m. ET on March 26, 2021. GCEH common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis commencing upon market open on March 26, 2021. The reverse stock split was approved by GCEH’s stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting held on November 17, 2020.


“GCEH is a fully integrated farm-to-fuel provider of ultra low-carbon sustainable biofuels,” said CEO Richard Palmer. “This reverse stock split, as we previewed in our last shareholder’s letter, is a key part of our strategy to build shareholder value and keep powering future growth as we prepare to move to a national exchange like Nasdaq.”

When the reverse stock split becomes effective, every 10 shares of GCEH’s issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share or the total number of authorized shares. This will reduce the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from approximately 358.5 million shares to approximately 35.9 million shares. GCEH’s common stock will continue to trade on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol “GCEH,” but will be assigned a new CUSIP number, 378989206.

The reverse stock split will affect all shares of GCEH’s common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under GCEH’s equity incentive plans. In addition, the reverse stock split will affect a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible securities (including Series B Convertible Preferred Stock) or upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split.

No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. No certificates representing fractional shares of common stock shall be issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all certificates that otherwise would represent fractional shares shall be rounded up to the next whole share.

The reverse stock split impacts all holders of GCEH’s common stock proportionally and will not impact any stockholder’s percentage ownership of common stock (except to the extent the reverse stock split results in any stockholder receiving a whole share in lieu of a fractional share).

Registered stockholders holding their shares of common stock in book-entry or through a bank, broker or other nominee form do not need to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding physical stock certificates may send them to the Company's transfer agent, Colonial Stock Transfer Co., Inc., and exchange them for new certificates representing the post-split number of shares. Colonial Stock Transfer Co., Inc. can be reached at 801-355-5740.

DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--REX American Resources Corporation (NYSE: REX) (“REX” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for its fiscal 2020 fourth quarter (“Q4 ‘20”) ended January 31, 2021. REX management will host a conference call and webcast today at 11:00 a.m. ET.

Conference Call:

212/231-2920

Webcast / Replay URL:

www.rexamerican.com/Corp/Page4.aspx

The webcast will be available for replay for 30 days.

REX American Resources’ Q4 ‘20 results principally reflect its interests in six ethanol production facilities and its refined coal operation. The One Earth Energy, LLC (“One Earth”) and NuGen Energy, LLC (“NuGen”) ethanol production facilities are consolidated, as is the refined coal entity, while those of its four other ethanol plants are reported as equity in income of unconsolidated ethanol affiliates. The Company reports results for its two business segments as ethanol and by-products, and refined coal.

REX’s Q4 ‘20 net sales and revenue were $126.0 million, compared with $120.9 million in Q4 ‘19. The year-over-year net sales and revenue increase was primarily due to higher pricing of dried distillers grains and modified distillers grains, as well as higher ethanol production levels, which more than offset lower ethanol pricing. Primarily reflecting these factors, Q4 ‘20 gross profit for the Company’s ethanol and by-products segment increased to $8.3 million, compared with $8.1 million in Q4 ‘19. As a result, the ethanol and by-products segment had income before income taxes of $5.3 million in Q4 ‘20, compared to income of $5.0 million in Q4 ‘19. The Company’s refined coal operation incurred a $1.4 million gross loss and a $1.6 million loss before income taxes in Q4 ‘20, compared to a $1.5 million gross loss and a loss before income taxes of $1.4 million in Q4 ‘19. REX reported Q4 ‘20 income before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $3.2 million, compared with income before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $2.8 million in the comparable year ago period. While the refined coal operation negatively impacted gross profit and income before income taxes, it contributed a tax benefit of $1.7 million and $1.5 million for Q4 ‘20 and Q4 ‘19, respectively.

Net income attributable to REX shareholders in Q4 ‘20 was $3.5 million, compared to net income of $4.4 million in Q4 ‘19. Q4 ‘20 basic and diluted net income per share attributable to REX common shareholders was $0.59, compared to net income per share of $0.70 in Q4 ‘19. Per share results in Q4 ‘20 and Q4 ‘19 are based on 6,008,000 and 6,320,000 diluted weighted average shares outstanding, respectively.

REX American Resources’ Chief Executive Officer, Zafar Rizvi, commented, “Fiscal 2020 proved to be a challenging year with the impact of Covid, however we are pleased to report earnings per share of $0.59 for the fourth quarter on the back of a profitable third quarter, reflecting the resiliency of our business and the efficiency of our plants and operations.”

“As we move forward into 2021 with all of our plants in operation, we remain optimistic for improved ethanol demand as we emerge from the impact of the pandemic and continue to be focused on creating additional shareholder value through our disciplined operating approach and strategic use of our strong balance sheet and liquidity position.”
