The maximum subcap applicable to the 5.750% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) of $100,000,000 (the “2025 Maximum SubCap”) represents the maximum aggregate principal amount in respect of the 2025 Notes being purchased in the 2025 Tender Offer.

(2)

 

Subject to the Maximum Aggregate Cap and proration, the principal amount of Notes being purchased in each Tender Offer has been determined in accordance with the applicable acceptance priority level (in numerical priority order) specified in this column provided that the Company will not accept 2025 Notes in an amount that exceeds the 2025 Maximum SubCap.

(3)

 

Does not include accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, which will also be payable as provided herein.

(4)

 

Includes the Early Tender Premium (as defined below).

 

All conditions were satisfied or waived by the Company at the Early Tender Date. The Company has elected to exercise its right to make payment for Notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase on August 16, 2022 (the “Early Settlement Date”). The Company intends to fund the purchase of validly tendered and accepted Notes on the Early Settlement Date with available cash on hand.

As the aggregate purchase price of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date exceeded the Maximum Aggregate Cap, no Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase. As described in the Offer to Purchase, Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Date will be accepted based on the acceptance priority levels, and with respect to the 2025 Notes, the 2025 Maximum SubCap, noted in the table above.

As the aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn exceeds the 2025 Maximum SubCap, the 2025 Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis and will be subject to a proration factor of approximately 61.6%. As the aggregate purchase price of the 2025 Notes and the 6.375% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn exceeds the Maximum Aggregate Cap, no validly tendered 5.875% Senior Notes due 2027 will be accepted for purchase, and the 2028 Notes will be accepted on a pro rata basis and will be subject to a proration factor of approximately 93.3%. Notes tendered and not purchased on the Early Settlement Date will be returned to holders promptly after the Early Settlement Date. The consideration to be paid for the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer is the amount set forth in the table above under the heading “Total Consideration.” The amounts set forth in the table above under “Total Consideration” include an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). Each holder who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw its Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be entitled to receive the applicable “Total Consideration” set forth in the table above under the heading “Total Consideration,” which includes the Early Tender Premium. All holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued interest from, and including, the most recent applicable interest payment date preceding the Early Settlement Date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date, if and when such Notes are accepted for payment.

Contract to deliver more than 2 million MMBtu per year of RNG with deliveries expected to commence in October 2023

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Archaea Energy Inc. (“Archaea,” “the Company,” or “we”) (NYSE: LFG), an industry-leading renewable natural gas (“RNG”) company, today announced that it is expanding its commercial partnership with Énergir L.P. (“Énergir”) by entering into a new long-term RNG purchase and sale agreement. This is the second long-term commercial agreement between Archaea and Énergir, the largest natural gas distribution company in Quebec.


Under the agreement, which is subject to regulatory approval by the Quebec Régie de l'énergie, Énergir expects to purchase 2.15 million gigajoules (approximately 2.04 million MMBtu) of RNG generated by Archaea annually from its portfolio of RNG production facilities for a fixed fee for a period of 20 years. Subject to regulatory approval, the agreement is expected to commence in October 2023. The RNG produced by Archaea for this expanded long-term partnership is expected to be a key contributor towards Énergir’s interim target of delivering 2% of its total annual natural gas volumes using RNG by 2023, with a longer-term target of 5% by 2025.

“We are excited to extend and expand our multi-decade partnership with Énergir as a result of this second long-term agreement,” said Brian McCarthy, Archaea’s Co-founder and Chief Financial Officer. “The team at Énergir has been tremendous to work with, and from the top down the organization is focused on executing on its mission of decarbonization. We continue to see natural gas utilities, such as Énergir, as first-movers in the voluntary RNG market who are looking to RNG as a primary method of decarbonization in response to regulatory and existential mandates. We are proud to be one of the few RNG producers capable of offering tailored long-term, fixed-price agreements that can scale with the growing demands of our customers, thereby giving our RNG can a growing impact as a sustainable, multi-decade decarbonization solution. This growth will be enabled by our extensive, high-quality RNG development backlog, including projects related to our Lightning Renewables joint venture with Republic Services and the acquisition of INGENCO, which successfully closed in July 2022.”

“We are thrilled to pursue our relationship with Archaea, a proven RNG producer with an innovative-driven approach,” said Renault-François Lortie, Vice President, Customers and Gas Supply at Energir. “If this agreement is approved by our regulatory authority, it will represent an important addition to our RNG supplies target. It will inevitably strengthen the development of the RNG industry in Quebec, as it will allow a greater number of customers who are concerned about reducing their carbon footprint to benefit from renewable energy at a competitive cost. Once materialized, these additional volumes in our network will help meet our goal of distributing 5% RNG by 2025 and at least 10% by 2030 and therefore, contribute greatly the reduction of Quebec’s GHG emissions.”

JERICHO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kimco Realty® (NYSE: KIM), North America’s largest publicly traded owner and operator of open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers, including mixed-use assets, today announced the publication of its second Green Bond Report, outlining the use of the net proceeds and the associated estimated environmental impact of the Company’s inaugural green bond, issued in July of 2020. Of the $493.7 million in net proceeds from the green bond issuance, $356.5 million, or over 72 percent, has been allocated to finance Eligible Green Projects, as defined by Kimco’s Green Bond Framework.


Per Kimco’s Green Bond Framework, Eligible Green Projects include Green Buildings, defined, in part, as the new development, maintenance, operation, and acquisition of buildings that have received LEED Silver certifications, or the acquisition of buildings with tenant spaces that have previously received an ENERGY STAR rating of 75 or higher. Kimco has used green bond proceeds to fund and/or acquire LEED Silver certified projects including The Witmer® residential tower at Pentagon Centre in Arlington, Virginia, the Array residential building at West Alex in Alexandria, Virginia, and an office building also at West Alex. Green bond proceeds were also allocated towards the acquisition of twelve ENERGY STAR Certified tenant spaces.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stem (NYSE: STEM), a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven energy software and services, issued a statement today from Chief Executive Officer John Carrington on the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) by President Biden expected in the coming days.


“At Stem and AlsoEnergy, we view the investments in clean energy within the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) as transformational for our country, the energy industry, and our company as we continue to accelerate the clean energy transition,” said John Carrington, CEO of Stem. “For customers deploying energy storage and solar, the most significant parts of the bill are tax credits for clean electricity investment and production. We anticipate that these incentives will increase investment certainty and make adoption more affordable in existing and new energy markets.”

As part of IRA, the following incentives will be in place for 10 years and may be extended until power sector emissions fall by 75%.

  • Standalone Storage Investment Tax Credit (ITC): New tax credit of 30% for stand-alone battery storage projects. Previously, tax credits were limited to storage projects that were attached to solar. IRA also provides additional credits when projects meet requirements such as domestic content, citing in “energy communities”, and prevailing wage and apprenticeship provisions.
  • Solar Production Tax Credit (PTC): Extends the current solar PTC framework for facilities that begin construction prior to January 1, 2025, and sets requirements for additional qualifying credits.

To help developers, owners, and EPCs plan for IRA’s passage, Stem’s clean energy and policy experts are hosting a webinar, “What the Inflation Reduction Act Means for Your Clean Energy Project,” on Wednesday, August 17, 2022. Register here.

NOTICE: This content is preliminary and is provided for informational and planning purposes only regarding the potential passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. This does not constitute legal, tax, regulatory, policy, or other advice or guidance. The provisions in legislative bill text require further clarification and guidance by executive branch, regulatory, and other agencies.

HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Valaris Limited (NYSE: VAL) (“Valaris” or the “Company”) announced today that it has commenced a consent solicitation (“Consent Solicitation”) with respect to proposed amendments to the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the outstanding senior secured first lien notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) of the Company listed in the table below.


Title of Security

US91889FAA93

USG9460GAB70

US91889FAB76

   

$549,845,000

The purpose of the Consent Solicitation is to amend the Indenture to (i) implement a customary net income builder basket for Restricted Payments (as defined in the Indenture), increase the general basket for Restricted Payments from $100 million to $175 million and make other incremental changes to the Company’s Restricted Payments capacity and (ii) increase the general basket for Investments (as defined in the Indenture) from the greater of $100 million and 4.0% of total assets to the greater of $175 million and 6.5% of total assets, in each case as more fully described in the consent solicitation statement (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”). The Proposed Amendments are intended to provide greater and more customary flexibility over time, while continuing to provide noteholders with ample collateral coverage. The Proposed Amendments would provide the Company customary financial flexibility during an industry upcycle, positioning it to maximize value for all stakeholders once the Company is generating meaningful free cash flow or should strategic opportunities arise.

Subject to receiving the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (the “Required Consents”) and satisfaction or waiver of all of the other conditions to the Consent Solicitation, each holder who validly delivers (and does not validly revoke) its consent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 19, 2022, unless extended by the Company in its sole discretion (such time and date, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Date”), will receive a cash payment for each $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes for which such holder has consented (the “Consent Fee”). Any consenting holder will not be permitted to trade its Notes, unless such holder validly revokes its consent, between the time that it provides such consent and the Expiration Date. The aggregate Consent Fee will be $2,749,225, to be shared by all consenting holders who validly deliver consents to the Proposed Amendment before the Expiration Date (and do not validly revoke such consents). Specifically, the Consent Fee will be an amount, per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for which a holder validly delivers its consent prior to the Expiration Date (and does not validly revoke such consent), equal to the product of $5.00 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding as of the Expiration Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Notes for which the holders have validly delivered (and not validly revoked) consents prior to the Expiration Date. As a result, the Consent Fee for the Notes will range from $5.00 per $1,000 (if all holders consent) to approximately $10.00 per $1,000 (if holders of only a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes consent). The Consent Fee will be paid by the Company promptly following the Expiration Date and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions.

The Proposed Amendments will be effected through a supplemental indenture with respect to the Notes, to be executed promptly after receipt of the Required Consents. Holders will not be able to revoke their consents after the supplemental indenture is executed, which may occur prior to the Expiration Date. The Proposed Amendments will not become operative and the Company will not benefit from the Proposed Amendments until the Consent Fee is paid with respect to each Note for which a Consent Fee is payable.

Beneficial owners who wish to participate in the consent solicitation must promptly instruct their brokers, dealers, custodians or other intermediaries to deliver a consent on their behalf to the tabulation agent in accordance with The Depository Trust Company’s Automated Tender Offer Program’s procedures, in advance of the Expiration Date as such brokers, dealers, custodians or other intermediaries will require an earlier deadline to receive their instructions.

Valaris in its sole discretion may terminate the Consent Solicitation without obligation at any time, whether or not the Required Consents have been received, and may waive any of the consent conditions in its sole discretion. Full details of the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation are included in the consent solicitation statement, dated August 15, 2022.

Valaris has engaged Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. to act as the sole solicitation agent and Global Bondholder Services Corporation to act as the information and tabulation agent in connection with the Consent Solicitation. Additional information concerning the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation may be obtained from Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. by calling (855) 287-1922 (toll-free) or (212) 250-7527 (collect). Requests for assistance in submitting consents or requests for additional copies of the consent solicitation statement and related documents should be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation by calling (212) 430-3774 (banks and brokers collect) or (855) 654-2015 (all others toll-free) or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

None of Valaris, its board of directors, its officers, the solicitation agent, the information agent or Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as trustee, or any of Valaris’ or their respective affiliates, makes any recommendation that holders consent or refrain from consenting to the Proposed Amendments, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to consent to the Proposed Amendments.

No Offer or Solicitation

This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any Notes or any other securities. This press release is also not a solicitation of consents with respect to the Proposed Amendments or any securities. The solicitation of consents is not being made in any jurisdiction in which, or to or from any person to or from whom, it is unlawful to make such solicitation under applicable state or foreign securities or “blue sky” laws.

The increase in net income in the quarter was driven by the $21.4 million non-cash gain from remeasurement of both warrants and alignment shares. This benefit from remeasurement is non-cash and is driven by a lower Altus Power common share price between March 31, 2022, and June 30, 2022. Both the warrants and alignment shares are revalued quarterly according to our share price at the end of each quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA* during the second quarter of 2022 was $13.9 million, compared to $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, a 37% increase. The quarter over quarter growth in adjusted EBITDA* is primarily the result of increased revenue from additional solar energy facilities, partially offset by an increase in our general and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin* during the second quarter of 2022 was 56%.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Altus Power ended the second quarter of 2022 with $295.1 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and $538.3 million of total debt. The Company expects to fund its operations using available cash, additional borrowings under debt facilities and third-party tax equity financing.

2022 Guidance

Altus Power reaffirms its full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA* guidance range of $57-63 million, as well as guidance for 2022 adjusted EBITDA margin* in the mid-50% range. Management focuses on adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin as key measures of profitable growth and approximation of cash flow generation.

Conference Call Information

The Altus Power management team will host a conference call to discuss its first quarter 2022 financial results on Monday, August 15, 2022, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

*Denotes Non-GAAP financial measure. We present our operating results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). We believe certain financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide users of our financial statements with supplemental information that may be useful in evaluating our business. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, income tax expense, acquisition and entity formation costs, non-cash compensation expense, and excluding the effect of certain non-recurring items we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance such as, but not limited to, gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration, gain on disposal of property, plant and equipment, change in fair value of redeemable warrant liability, change in fair value of alignment shares, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other miscellaneous items of other income and expenses.

We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by operating revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to measure our performance. We believe that investors and analysts also use adjusted EBITDA in evaluating our operating performance. This measurement is not recognized in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of performance. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA is net income and to adjusted EBITDA margin is net income over operating revenues. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed to suggest that our future results will be unaffected by non-cash or non-recurring items. In addition, our calculation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not necessarily comparable to adjusted EBITDA as calculated by other companies and investors and analysts should read carefully the components of our calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures.

We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to management, investors and analysts in providing a measure of core financial performance adjusted to allow for comparisons of results of operations across reporting periods on a consistent basis. These adjustments are intended to exclude items that are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the business. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by our management for internal planning purposes, including our consolidated operating budget, and by our board of directors in setting performance-based compensation targets. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to but viewed in conjunction with GAAP results, as we believe it provides a more complete understanding of ongoing business performance and trends than GAAP measures alone. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.

Altus Power does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort, items such as acquisition and entity formation costs, gain on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration, change in fair value of redeemable warrant liability, change in fair value of alignment shares. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Altus Power’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

TerraPower undertakes a large private capital fundraise in support of advanced nuclear deployment

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TerraPower, a leading nuclear innovation company, announced today the close of an equity raise that yields a minimum of $750 million. This is one of the largest advanced nuclear fundraises to-date.


The fundraise was co-led by SK Inc. and SK Innovation (collectively, “SK”) and TerraPower’s founder Bill Gates. SK invested $250 million. SK Group is among South Korea's largest energy providers and the second-largest conglomerate. Additional funding will come from other investors.

This fundraise enhances TerraPower’s groundbreaking work in advanced nuclear energy technologies and nuclear medicine.

“TerraPower is committed to solving some of the toughest challenges that face this generation through innovation,” said TerraPower President and CEO Chris Levesque. “Whether it’s addressing climate change with carbon-free advanced nuclear energy, or fighting cancer with nuclear isotopes, our team is deploying technology solutions and investors across the world are taking note.”

TerraPower is experiencing terrific growth, partially driven by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP) award and the construction of the Natrium™ demonstration plant1 at a retiring coal facility in Wyoming. Part of the ARDP award requires a match of 50% of project costs, up to $2 billion. This new fundraise further builds on the support of existing investors and will support TerraPower’s current implementation efforts.

The TerraPower Isotopes (TPI) program is supporting the transformation of the fight against cancer by advancing the next generation of isotopes. TPI has unique access to Actinium-225 and is working to provide this isotope to the pharmaceutical community for the development of drugs that target and treat cancer.

Moohwan Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Green Investment Center at SK Inc. noted that “SK is excited to expand our energy, technology and bioscience investments with leading companies in the U.S. We are committed to supporting TerraPower’s global deployment of game changing products. We see important synergies in our businesses and this investment reinforces our strategic global carbon reduction goals.”

Credit Suisse acted as the exclusive placement agent to TerraPower. Perkins Coie LLP acted as outside corporate counsel to TerraPower. TerraPower will continue to be a privately held company. Further terms of the fundraise were not disclosed.

Companies will receive financial, business development, and R&D mentorship at Indianapolis innovation hub during immersive 13-week program

INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Heritage Group (“THG”) Accelerator today announced that seven companies have been selected to participate in its 2022 hard tech accelerator program at THG’s innovation hub in Indianapolis. The chosen companies are focused on building a sustainable future through innovation in specialty chemicals, advanced materials, infrastructure and construction, environmental solutions, and industrial systems.



Throughout the program, each participating startup will receive mentorship from executives, scientists, industry professionals, and successful entrepreneurs, and will be able to access THG’s 30+ operating companies to gain critical industry insights and opportunities to pilot their technologies. The program will conclude on November 15 with a public event in which the startups will demonstrate their technologies and pitch their businesses to a global audience of leading investors.

The need for innovators interested in a greener future has never been more clear. At The Heritage Group Accelerator, we pair innovators with hand-selected resources and expertise to scale their transformative technologies and write the next chapter in sustainable manufacturing, materials, infrastructure, waste and water treatment, and other hard tech verticals,” said Nida Ansari, Managing Director of the THG Accelerator. “We are thrilled to welcome these seven promising companies to Indianapolis for our program.”

Each company was selected to be part of the 2022 THG Accelerator program after a rigorous application and review process. The selected startups are:

  • Allium Engineering (Cambridge, MA) has built a proprietary rebar technology to eliminate steel corrosion and create more resilient, affordable, and sustainable material. Structures that would last 30 years with traditional rebar can be built to last 100 years with Allium’s innovative solutions.
  • ZILA Works (Renton, WA) is developing a novel industrial bioplastic to help product manufacturers lower their carbon footprint. The company’s patented process uses vegetable oils to create a bio-epoxy resin system that reduces carbon emissions by as much as 60% compared to petroleum-based epoxies.
  • Nanode Battery Technology (Edmonton, AB) has invented a next-generation high-performance material that optimizes rechargeable lithium and sodium-ion batteries. Batteries utilizing Nanode’s technology have 5x the energy density of traditional batteries at 40% the cost.
  • SeaChange Technologies Inc. (Raleigh, NC) offers a patented water treatment technology that eliminates toxic sludge from industrial waste water, reducing both costs and impact on the environment.
  • Sirionix Renewables (Seattle, WA) creates high-performing plant-based cleaning products that are sustainable, nontoxic and perform better than incumbent chemical-based brands.
  • SusMaX (Philadelphia, PA) uses a thermodynamics-based technology to transform waste coal ash into lightweight construction aggregates. This technology promotes landfill diversion, extends the service life of construction materials, and reduces transportation costs by 50%.
  • Ourobio (Charlottesville, VA) turns industrial byproducts into low-footprint, performance-enhancing, biodegradable plastic additives. Plastics incorporating the company’s technology are less expensive, more sustainable, and easier to manufacture.

The 2022 Heritage Accelerator cohort will be greeted today by more than 150 industry, technical, and business professionals during a Welcome to Our Ecosystem event at THG’s innovation hub, The Center. Following that event, cohort founders will continue building relationships with Indiana’s startup professionals while packing meals for food-insecure Hoosiers during an interactive networking event in cooperation with Pack Away Hunger.

With the addition of this cohort, the THG Accelerator portfolio now includes 36 startups. In the past three years, THG Accelerator alumni have conducted 25+ pilots and raised more than $28 million in follow-on funding. Three Accelerator companies have relocated their headquarters to Indiana or opened significant operations in the Hoosier state.

- Equinox Partners to vote against board-slate candidates who have served for two or more years but have invested less than two years of director’s fees into company stock

- Insider ownership among gold mining companies has declined, board turnover driven by passive investor owners largely to blame

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Equinox Partners Investment Management, LLC, a long-term value investor, today announced its new investment stewardship policy toward directors of public companies. Based on years of active engagement with boards, Equinox Partners has decided to adopt a strict policy of voting against directors who have served for two or more years but have invested less than two years of director’s fees into the company’s stock.


Equinox Partners estimates that as a result of this policy it will vote against approximately 10% of the board-slate candidates in the 2023 proxy season. By adopting a clear, lower-bound for director share ownership, Equinox Partners intends to push back on the growing indifference of boards to non-executive director stock ownership and the decision of some companies to prohibit non-executive directors from owning stock all together.

“Shareholders should not support directors who lack meaningful financial alignment with the companies for which they bear ultimate governing responsibility,” said Sean Fieler, President and Chief Investment Officer of Equinox Partners. “We have seen a troubling deemphasis of financial alignment among international mining companies. By elevating individuals who do not own stock and are unlikely to acquire a significant financial interest in the company they oversee, the board is adding colleagues who will tend to prioritize collegiality and reputation over its company’s financial interests.”

Since 2015, the insider ownership amongst the gold mining companies that make up the MVIS Global Junior Miners Index (MVGDXJTR) has fallen over the past seven years. The proximate cause of this decline is board turnover driven by passive investors.

“Unlike activists who propose specific directors, large passive managers propose categories of directors rather than individuals. Corporate insiders have largely acquiesced to these demands by nominating new directors that fit the passive investors’ criteria, but are unlikely to rock the boat,” said Fieler.

“…the Canadian E&P industry is an example of a more responsible approach to director alignment. It is common for Canadian E&P companies to mandate that board members own at least three years of directors’ compensation in stock. Not coincidentally, the Canadian E&P industry has turned into a sector which prioritizes returns on and of owners’ capital.” (Equinox Partners Q2 Letter)

The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Issuer’s wholly owned subsidiaries that is a borrower or a guarantor under Sensata’s senior credit facilities and an issuer or a guarantor under Sensata’s outstanding series of existing notes.

Sensata Technologies intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes for the redemption of its 4.875% senior notes due 2023.

The Notes and the related guarantees will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Altus Power to help develop rooftop solar, battery storage and EV charging in U.S. and Europe

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CBRE Investment Management announced today a sustainability initiative that is intended to scale the development of solar projects within its direct logistics portfolio, which now spans 17 countries worldwide and encompasses more than 600 assets, 200 million sq. ft. and $30.2 billion AUM.


As part of this initiative, CBRE Investment Management is working closely with Altus Power, Inc. (NYSE: AMPS), a premier commercial-scale clean electrification company, in the U.S. and Europe to establish solutions that are focused on decarbonization and resiliency, including the development and installation of solar power generation, battery storage and electric-vehicle charging systems.

We are focused on deploying onsite solar projects across our logistics assets where viable in order to advance our sustainability goals and support the transition to clean energy,” said Chuck Leitner, chief executive officer of CBRE Investment Management. “We look forward to expanding our relationship with Altus Power across core markets in the U.S. and Europe as we scale to make our portfolio more resilient, profitable and sustainable.”

Earlier this year, CBRE Investment Management announced its first agreement with Altus Power to build and operate a portfolio of rooftop community solar projects on logistics facilities that are managed by CBRE Investment Management in Maryland. These projects, which provide renewable energy to residential customers and CBRE Investment Management logistics tenants, are expected to produce savings for approximately 5,700 residential customers in Maryland.

CBRE Investment Management’s enhanced focus on clean electrification comes two years after the business adopted its logistics investor-developer-operator model that focuses on delivery across all aspects of an asset’s lifecycle, from investment through to the user experience. In line with this, the firm created a global sector-specific logistics team in June 2021 to enhance and better align its expertise across the sector. Since then, CBRE Investment Management’s direct logistics assets under management have increased by more than 34% from $22.5 billion to $30.2 billion, while the firm’s full real assets portfolio now stands at a record high of $146.9 billion.

Earlier this year, Trammell Crow Company, another CBRE subsidiary, announced a strategic partnership to bring Altus Power’s clean energy solutions to 35 million sq. ft. of industrial assets in the company’s U.S. real estate development pipeline.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Facedrivefoods--STEER Technologies Inc. (“STEER” or “the Company”) (TSXV: FD) (OTCQX: FDVRF), an integrated ESG technology platform, is pleased to announce its electric vehicle subscription service (“STEER EV”) has obtained a business license to operate in British Columbia, Canada, and added the province as a new service area. STEER EV’s subscription service is available to the eligible residents of the province as of August, 2022. STEER EV has been working on expanding the financing required to accommodate further launches, and is now aiming to grow both its fleet size and geographical footprint throughout the second half of 2022.


From its inception, the STEER EV platform has been focused on challenging the traditional car ownership model and accelerating the general public’s switchover to environmentally friendly transportation through an automobile subscription service. Having transformed the platform into a leading provider of subscription-based EV services in Canada, the Company feels its turnkey month-to-month model – which includes insurance, maintenance, vehicle swaps and concierge delivery – presents an attractive alternative for customers seeking a time-efficient and hassle-free transportation solution.

The Company sees STEER EV capitalizing on two mega-trends in the personal transport industry: increasing eco-consciousness on part of individuals and governments alike, as well as a general shift away from traditional car ownership in favour of more flexible options such as per-use or subscription-based services, particularly among the younger generation. The global car subscription market was valued at $3.55 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $12.1 billion by 2027, representing a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.1%.1 As an ESG ecosystem, STEER is confident that its commitment to working alongside responsible governments, businesses and individuals in addressing environmental, social and governance concerns positions its well to capture growth in the electric vehicle subscription services market in the years to come.

STEER EV’s expansion into British Columbia marks an important step in the platform’s expansion, as the province is a known supporter of EV adoption, having increased the number of EVs on its roads by 1,600% in the past six years2. The Company also feels this expansion aligns with the views of the Government of Canada, which has continually expressed support for that the electrification of Canada’s light-duty vehicles as part of a shift towards cleaner fuels and a general decarbonisation of the country’s transportation sector. Currently, transportation accounts for approximately 25% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), of which almost half comes from passenger cars and light trucks. 3

“We are pleased to bring our EV subscription services to British Columbia, which is our second market in Canada, and our first launch on the west coast. Our team has put a lot of hard work, time and dedication to ensure a successful start of this new chapter. Having proved the efficacy and the popularity of the STEER business model in our Washington, Toronto and Texas markets, we are focused on continuous growth and replicating success in new North American markets. Shortly after British Columbia, our continent-wide rollout will continue with planned launches in Florida and California,” said Suman Pushparajah, CEO of STEER.

About the Company

STEER is an integrated ESG technology platform that moves people and delivers things through subscription and on-demand services. The Company’s goal is to build a one-of-a-kind system that aggregates conscientious users, through a series of connected offerings, and enables them to buy, sell, or invest with the same platform, STEER. The Company’s offerings generally fall into two categories: subscription-based offerings led by its flagship electric vehicle subscription business, STEER EV, and on-demand services incorporating delivery, B2B marketplace, Delivery-as-a-Service (DaaS) and rideshare businesses. The Company’s platform is also powered by EcoCRED, its big data, analytics and machine learning engine which seeks to capture, analyze, parse and report on key data points in ways that measure the Company’s impact on carbon reductions and offsets.
