TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kontrol Technologies Corp. (NEO:KNR) (OTCQB:KNRLF) (FSE:1K8) (“Kontrol” or the “Company”), a leader in smart buildings and cities is pleased to announce that it has closed the private placement previously announced in the Company’s press release dated February 16, 2023 (the “Private Placement”) of units (the “Units”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5 million. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share”) or one common share equivalent (a “Common Share Equivalent”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”) for a purchase price of $0.65. Each Warrant is exercisable immediately and entitles the holder thereof to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.81 for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The Common Share Equivalents are pre-funded with $0.649 per Common Share Equivalent, requiring an additional $0.001 per Common Share Equivalent to have it converted into a Common Share. The Common Share Equivalents will expire upon the exercise of all outstanding Common Share Equivalents. The Private Placement was comprised of 7,695,840 Units, with underlying securities that consist of, in the aggregate, 5,400,000 Common Shares, 2,295,840 Common Share Equivalents and 7,695,840 Warrants.

The Common Share Equivalents prevent any exercise if such exercise would result in the holder acquiring more than 9.99% of the Company’s current issued and outstanding Common Shares. The Warrants prevent any exercise if such exercise would result in the holder acquiring more than 4.99% of the Company’s current issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement are expected to be used for sales, marketing, research and development, debt retirement and working capital requirements. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Agent”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the Private Placement in the United States, and the Company has paid the Agent a cash commission equal to 7% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Private Placement.

In the United States, the Units were offered on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”).

The Company is relying on and satisfies the conditions of the exemption in Section 10.10(2) of the NEO Exchange Listing Manual with respect to the Private Placement because: (a) it is in serious financial difficulty; (b) it has reached an agreement to complete the Private Placement; (c) no Related Person (as defined in the NEO Exchange Listing Manual) of the Company is participating in the Private Placement; and (d) all of the independent directors of the Company have determined that the Private Placement is in the best interests of the Listed Issuer, is reasonable in the circumstances and that it is not feasible to obtain security holder approval or complete a rights offering to existing security holders on the same terms.

The Company has also agreed to the re-pricing of 1,211,500 warrants that were issued in June 2021 with an original exercise price of $1.75. Subsequent to the re-pricing, the warrants will have an exercise price of $0.81 and a term of five years beginning on the date of the closing of the private placement. Re-pricing of the warrants is subject to receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the NEO Exchange and the shareholders of the Company.

The Company also announces that it intends to issue 119,047 Common Shares at a deemed price per Common Share of $0.65 in partial settlement of debt owing to an employee in an amount of $77,400. The issuance is subject to receipt of all necessary approvals, including the acceptance of the NEO Exchange.

Two new innovation concept machines to be unveiled during news conference on March 14 at 4 p.m. PT in booth W41544 in the West Hall

WEST FARGO, N.D.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Bobcat Company, a global compact equipment, innovation and worksite solutions brand, is gearing up to showcase its latest and most exciting lineup of products and innovations at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023. The Bobcat exhibit is a testament to the ingenuity of the company that built the world’s first skid-steer loader nearly 65 years ago.

Electrification, autonomous operation and digital technologies will be on display as the company shares new ways these advancements are making compact equipment operations easier and more productive than ever before.

EXCELLENCE IN ELECTRIC OPERATIONS

Bobcat will showcase its next-level electric innovations and will unveil two new concept machines with electric functionality.

In-Booth:

Visit Bobcat at booth W41544 in the West Hall to see its expansive, electric product line-up, from the all-electric T7X compact track loader to battery-electric excavators, including the E10e, E19e and E32e. This is the first North American trade show where these products will be exhibited following the T7X’s initial introduction at CES 2022.

The company has continued to innovate in electric and will unveil two new electric concept machines during the show on Tuesday, March 14, at 4 p.m. PT in its booth (W41544 in the West Hall). Show attendees are welcome to attend this unveiling and press conference.

Education Session:

Bobcat Vice President of Global Innovation Joel Honeyman and Director of Innovation Accelerated Matt Sagaser are taking center stage during CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023’s Education Sessions for their presentation, “Electrifying the Future: Get Plugged In.”

The presentation, to be held on Tuesday, March 14 at 1 p.m. PT in the West Hall 216-218, will examine common myths surrounding electric operation and the benefits – from sustainability attributes to performance enhancements to technological advancements. Tickets to the education session can be purchased through CONEXPO-CON/AGG’s website.

BIGGER, BOLDER INNOVATIONS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

With innovations in electrification, autonomous operation and digital technology, Bobcat continues to offer customers more choices, improved performance and advanced technology to work smarter and accomplish more.

At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023, Bobcat will exhibit a number of its innovative digital features and technologies—some in concept form and others that are currently commercially available.

Collision Warning and Avoidance System

New in concept form is a collision warning and avoidance system designed to assist operators’ jobsite awareness. Compatible on select Bobcat compact track loaders and skid-steer loaders, the technology tracks an object’s position, direction and speed relative to the machine. Using either the active or passive setting, the operator can receive an audible alert or enable the machine to stop automatically upon detecting an object in its path. While still in product development, the solution is expected to be available to customers in 2024.

Excavator featuring Bobcat Intelligent Control System

Bobcat is showcasing one of its latest technology concepts: Bobcat Intelligent Control System. Featured on an E60 excavator, the new intelligent controls enhance machine control and operation. With greater customization of work modes, operators can increase their performance and efficiency while grading, trenching, slewing and performing other precise operations. The new Drive by Joystick mode allows operators to use the joysticks to travel, similar to Selectable Joystick Controls on a Bobcat loader. Bobcat Intelligent Control System on compact excavators will continue to drive future innovations, like advanced depth check features, remote operation via Bobcat MaxControl and autonomous functionality.

New Solutions for Advanced Display Technology

Bobcat is displaying the future of its advanced display technology with its transparent, touch display. The concept heads-up display, which operators can see through to also view the jobsite, can be positioned on the front windshield or a cab side window on a range of Bobcat machines, including compact excavators, telehandlers and loaders. The display enhances operator productivity and efficiency to the task at hand.

Bobcat MaxControl Remote Operation

With Bobcat MaxControl, operators can control their loader using an app on an iOS smartphone or tablet, thus allowing for operation outside of the cab.

Initially introduced in 2021, new to this innovative offering is a control device that operators can attach to their smartphone for easier remote operations. The remote control has a tactical joystick and button operations like a videogame controller. By moving the operating controls off the phone screen, operators can use the screen for enhanced control views.

Machine IQ Wireless Communications

Bobcat Machine IQ wireless communications is a simple, yet powerful tool that empowers operators of select Bobcat machines to access current and historical machine data from virtually anywhere and at any time. Bobcat machine owners and operators use Machine IQ to monitor the health of their machines and to remotely track information that enhances maintenance, security and performance. Machine IQ empowers owners and operators of select Bobcat machines to get the most out of their compact equipment while protecting their investment at the same time.

This subscription-based service includes advanced fleet management features to monitor and analyze fuel usage, operating hours, maintenance intervals and other critical information of every connected machine in a large fleet. Machine IQ telematics devices are installed on select Bobcat machines before they leave the factory. Bobcat also offers an aftermarket kit that is compatible with most Bobcat machines to make them Machine IQ ready.

Features on Demand

Introduced by Bobcat in 2020, Features on Demand gives customers the flexibility to enable additional features on specific R-Series compact loader models as their needs change. Features on Demand includes automatic ride control, high-flow hydraulics, dual bucket positioning, 2-Speed travel, reversing fan and more. New to Features on Demand is auto throttle, which automatically applies engine rpm to perform tasks more efficiently, while conserving fuel.

BURLINGTON, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia” or the “Company”) (TSX:ANRG) today announced it has sold its Envo Biogas plant in Tønder, Denmark to Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners’ (CIP) Advanced Bioenergy Fund I, which is developing biogas projects in Europe and North America. While the financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed, Anaergia expects to recognize a positive impact on the completion of the transaction. Anaergia plans to deploy capital from the sale towards facilitating additional growth, mainly in Italy and Germany.

Anaergia acquired and began construction on the Tønder project in late 2021 and injected the facility’s first biomethane into Danish pipelines in November 2022, which allowed the facility to qualify for a 20-year Danish Energy Agency biogas subsidy program.

When fully operational, the Tønder facility is expected to become one of Europe’s largest biogas plants, processing up to 900,000 tons of organic waste to produce up to 1.4 million MMBtu (40 million Nm3) of renewable natural gas annually. In addition, the Tønder plant will produce biogenic carbon dioxide that will be used by European Energy to produce green e-methanol to fuel container ships.

“Having advanced the Envo Biogas Tønder project and adding substantial value, the timing is now right for Anaergia to divest of this facility and use the proceeds to advance other new and existing projects in Europe,” said Andrew Benedek, Chairman and CEO of Anaergia. “We look forward to helping Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners complete construction on this project and collaborating with them in the future.”

“We are very pleased to have made our first investment into a large-scale and modern biogas project in Denmark, creating not just green energy, but also jobs and investments in the local community,” said Thomas Dalsgaard, partner with CIP. “We look forward to working with local stakeholders and farmers and to continue the construction of the plant that once in full operations will make a significant contribution to the green transition in the municipality of Tønder and in Denmark.”

About Anaergia

Anaergia was created to eliminate a major source of greenhouse gases by cost effectively turning organic waste into renewable natural gas (RNG), fertilizer and water, using proprietary technologies. With a proven track record from delivering world-leading projects on four continents, Anaergia is uniquely positioned to provide end-to-end solutions for extracting organics from waste, implementing high efficiency anaerobic digestion, upgrading biogas, producing fertilizer and cleaning water. Our customers are in the municipal solid waste, municipal wastewater, agriculture, and food processing industries. In each of these markets Anaergia has built many successful plants including some of the largest in the world. Anaergia owns and operates some of the plants it builds, and it also operates plants that are owned by its customers.
