ROKA and IRONMAN Expand Relationship with Global Partnership

ROKA named Official Global Wetsuit and Swim Partner of IRONMAN

TAMPA, Fla. & AUSTIN, Texas-Friday, June 1st 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IRONMAN, a Wanda Sports Holdings company, announced today a multi-year global partnership that expands its relationship with ROKA, the Austin-based performance multisport brand. This new partnership makes ROKA the Official Global Wetsuit and Swim Partner of IRONMAN® and the IRONMAN World Championship and IRONMAN 70.3® World Championship events.

The partnership between IRONMAN and ROKA will further a relationship that began in 2014. Besides an expanded physical presence at IRONMAN events across the globe, ROKA and IRONMAN are collaborating on IRONMAN World Championship swim products this October in honor of IRONMAN’s 40th Anniversary. Additionally, ROKA will now sell co-branded swim products online via www.ironmanstore.com and roka.com, and will continue to give out the ROKA Fastest Swimmer Award to congratulate the fastest age group athlete during each event’s swim.

“We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with IRONMAN,” said ROKA CEO and Co-Founder Rob Canales. “IRONMAN is the best in the world at providing the ultimate endurance race experience, and ROKA is the best in the world at supporting those athletes with technical products that meet the demands of the day. We’re excited to collaborate with IRONMAN on new products and services and to immediately bring our existing ones to more athletes around the world.”

In the last six years, ROKA has designed the world’s most advanced high-performance wetsuits, goggles, eyewear, swimskins and race apparel, which have been worn to numerous world titles and over 50 IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 wins by the world’s best triathletes, including Javier Gómez Noya, Lucy Charles, Tim Reed, Melissa Hauschildt, Luke McKenzie, Meredith Kessler, Linsey Corbin, Jesse Thomas and more. With this new partnership, IRONMAN athletes will be able to sample ROKA’s groundbreaking technology before they buy at each IRONMAN event in the IRONMAN Village and have exclusive access to new products during the lead up to their races.

“I first tried ROKA’s Maverick wetsuit and Viper swimskin in 2014 and have been using both ever since, however the products have at times been difficult to find outside the U.S.” said Javier Gómez Noya, two-time IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion who splits time between Spain and New Zealand. “With this expanded partnership, IRONMAN athletes from around the globe can now get their hands on the cutting-edge technology that has been my secret weapon for the past four years.”

Just six years from its humble beginnings in a garage in Austin, ROKA has grown to become the wetsuit and swimwear choice of countless triathletes and hundreds of multisport teams around the world, and its Viper swimskin has been trusted by more athletes at the IRONMAN World Championships than any other brand for multiple years running.

“ROKA embodies the spirit of innovation and ingenuity that aligns well with the needs of our athletes,” said Matthieu Van Veen, Chief Revenue Officer for IRONMAN. “We are eager to expand this partnership to cover all of our events globally and bring ROKA’s swimwear products to our athletes around the world.”

In 2018, ROKA will have a presence across the IRONMAN® and IRONMAN 70.3® Series, including 40 races in North America, 32 in Europe, and 13 in Oceania, as well as the IRONMAN World Championship and IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship. Each IRONMAN race consists of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run while the IRONMAN 70.3 race series events consist of a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run.

Thales extends the acceptance period of the offer for Gemalto until 15 August 2018 and confirms it expects to complete the acquisition in the course of the second half of 2018

PARIS-Friday, June 1st 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regulatory News:

Reference is made to the joint press release by Thales (Euronext Paris: HO) and Gemalto (Euronext Amsterdam and Paris: GTO) dated 27 March 2018 in relation to the launch of the recommended all-cash offer by Thales for all the issued and outstanding shares of Gemalto (the “Offer”) and the publication of the Offer Document. Terms not defined in the press release will have the meaning as set forth in the Offer Document.

In accordance with Dutch offer rules, and as set out in the Offer Document, Thales has decided to extend the Acceptance Period of the Offer by ten weeks until August 15th, 17:40 hours CET (11:40 hours New York time).

The Acceptance Period has effectively been extended because the Offer Conditions for completion of the Offer, in particular with respect to Regulatory Clearances, will not be fulfilled before the expiry of the initial Acceptance Period at 17:40 hours CET (11:40 am New York time) on 6 June 2018.

As a reminder, Thales and Gemalto are seeking Regulatory Clearances from the competent antitrust authorities in Australia, in China, for the European Union, in Israel, in Mexico, in New Zealand, in Russia, in South Africa, in Turkey and in the United States. In addition to CFIUS approval in the United States, Thales and Gemalto are seeking Regulatory Clearances relating to foreign investments from the competent authorities in Australia, Canada and Russia.

As announced on 17 December 2017, it is expected that the transaction will be completed shortly after receipt by Thales of all Regulatory Clearances, in the course of the second half of the year 2018.

In accordance with the Offer Document, Thales will request an exemption from the Dutch authority for the financial markets (AFM) to further extend the Acceptance Period beyond 15 August 2018. Subject to receipt of such exemption, the Acceptance Period will be extended until such time as Thales, in consultation with Gemalto, will reasonably believe is necessary to allow the Offer Condition relating to the Regulatory Clearances to be satisfied.

Tendered Shares

During the extended Acceptance Period, Shares tendered may be withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of Article 15, paragraph 3 of the Decree and the procedures described in the Offer Document. Any Shares tendered during the initial Acceptance Period and which are not withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer.

****

This is a joint press release by Thales and Gemalto pursuant to Section 15, paragraph 2 of the Dutch decree on public takeover bids (Besluit openbare biedingen Wft) in connection with the recommended all-cash offer by Thales for all the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Gemalto, including all American depositary shares. This announcement does not constitute an offer, or any solicitation of any offer, to buy or subscribe for any securities in Gemalto. Any offer is only made by means of the Offer Document, which is available as of 27 March 2018.

French Guiana Region to Install World's Largest Power Station with 140 MWh Renewable Energy Storage

 Power plant will generate 100% renewable energy, delivering steady, competitively-priced electricity supply, 24/7 to over 10,000 households in French Guiana.



MANA, French Guiana-Friday, June 1st 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HDF (Hydrogène de France) has announced the launch of a world first in the history of renewable energy with the creation of its CEOG project (French Western Guiana Power Plant). The project harnessed via HDF’s Renewstable® solution will deliver 100% clean, affordable and reliable power 24/7 – with no fluctuations and at reduced costs – to an area of more than 10,000 households beset with energy delivery issues.

This major innovation is expected to revolutionise the energy sector and mark the start of a new era in energy delivery. The project is backed by a EUR 90 million investment from the company, private investment partners and leading banks.

HDF is the world’s first producer of a stable electricity supply based on intermittent energies. The Renewstable® solution combines a 55 MW solar farm with the world’s largest renewable energy storage solution to provide a ground-breaking 140 MWh, based on hydrogen. This is supported via secondary storage in the form of batteries.

The CEOG will address the crucial need to generate clean, reliable energy and will yield economic benefits for French Guiana. With coordination from public agencies in French Guiana, the plant will be located in a territory hampered by electricity production resources (currently a 20 MW deficit). The Renewstable® solution will boost the electricity grid for 20 years, by providing a reliable energy source at a lower price than the current real cost of production in Western Guiana, and without any subsidies.

About HDF Energy: creator of the Renewstable® electricity plant concept.
Specialising in hydrogen-based technologies, HDF Energy develops, finances, builds and operates industrial energy infrastructures: high-power fuel cells (more than 1 MW), mass storage units connected to an electricity grid, multi-megawatt Renewstable® electricity plants generating clean, non-intermittent electricity 24/7.

Hallstar To Divide Beauty & Personal Care And Industrial Solutions Business Into Separate Companies

CHICAGO-Friday, June 1st 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Specialty chemical company Hallstar has announced an upcoming change to the organization of its global business, as well as new leadership roles. On October 1, 2018, Hallstar will begin to operate as two commercial companies – Hallstar Industrial Solutions Company and Hallstar Beauty & Personal Care Company.

John Paro, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, sees this evolution at Hallstar as both a forward-looking, invigorating deployment of its global resources, as well as a direct response to market needs. “I have always taken great pride in both sides of the business, and how both use our remarkable ester chemistry to address customers’ issues in a wide variety of industries. At the same time, we recognize that the landscapes of Industrial Solutions and Beauty & Personal Care differ significantly in terms of client behavior and product innovation. Setting ourselves up as two companies will allow our people to continue to do what they do best and focus fully on growth in their specific industry.”

Paro will remain chairman and CEO of The Hallstar Company, but will relinquish the title of president. Instead, Hallstar Industrial Solutions Company and Hallstar Beauty & Personal Care Company will both have their own president who will be responsible for the respective company’s operation and financial results. “It’s the right time for this next chapter, both for me and for the company,” Paro says. “Seeing new leadership at the helm of these two successful businesses will be gratifying. Hallstar has achieved years of growth and innovation, and its current portfolio of breakthrough technology is second-to-none – but I am 100% sure that our two new presidents will unlock more potential and take Hallstar further than I could even imagine.”

Effective October 1, Robert S. Hu, currently Hallstar Vice President, EMEA, APAC, and Global Innovation, will become president and CTO of Hallstar Beauty & Personal Care. An executive search is underway for a new president of Hallstar Industrial Solutions. Both Damian Marshall in Industrial Solutions and Varun Mathur in Beauty & Personal Care will continue in their key commercial and strategic roles, announced earlier this year, of vice president and general manager, and will collaborate closely with their new presidents.

Both companies will still serve customers across the globe, and expect to maintain Hallstar’s relationships with customers, distributors and vendors after October 1, Paro confirms. “We are announcing the restructuring early so disruption will be minimized. From now until October 1 and beyond, we want the entire talented team at Hallstar to understand our value optimization strategy and be a part of planning and building our remarkable future.”

About Hallstar:

Hallstar is a leading global provider of specialty chemistry solutions. The company takes a collaborative approach to every engagement, delivering technical support, chemistry expertise and industry knowledge that helps its customers make the most of their products, from concepts to the first production batches.

Sterling and Wilson to Deliver the Largest Battery Energy Storage Project in Africa

 • Three battery sites totalling 30MWh including single largest installation of 17MWh part of a hybrid micro grid powered by Solar, Diesel and Battery Energy Storage

• Deal marks formal entry of one of the world’s largest solar EPC into the Hybrid and Energy Storage space


MUMBAI, India-Thursday, May 31st 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sterling and Wilson, an Indian multinational engaged in engineering, construction, manufacturing and energy services with over $1.5Bn in revenue, has bagged its first large scale hybrid and energy storage turnkey engineering, procurement and construction order in Western Africa. Sterling and Wilson’s turnkey scope of work includes complete design, engineering, procurement, construction and O&M of a captive hybrid microgrid powered by solar, diesel and battery energy storage. This first of its kind project powering behind-the-meter clients in the educational sector in Western Africa will also play host to the continent’s largest battery energy storage project with 30MWh of batteries spread across three sites, including single largest battery installation of 17MWh.

Besides providing microgrid integration and enabling the educational institutions to get off the grid, the hybrid microgrid backed by the batteries would also provide uniquely designed one-day power autonomy to the institutions, thus enabling efficient operations, effective learning and allocation of a larger budget towards the school programs. Sterling and Wilson’s proposed hybrid and energy storage solution is expected to deliver an envisioned reduction of 137,170 metric tonnes of carbon footprint, equivalent to planting 3.5 million new trees.

Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Deepak Thakur, CEO – Hybrid and Energy Storage, Sterling & Wilson, said: “Lack of power supply is a primary barrier in imparting effective learning and development of any nation. We are extremely glad to have bagged our landmark first project in the hybrid and energy storage space, which not only consists of the largest battery installation in Africa till date, but also hopefully proves to be a marquee installation empowering future generations. We are confident of meeting the most stringent quality, safety and financial needs of our client given our combined global expertise of having delivered over 7GW of solar, diesel and gas based power plants on turnkey basis till date.”

Given its global energy expertise, Sterling and Wilson, through its Hybrid and Energy Storage business unit, has an extensive focus on where and how hybrid and energy storage solutions can be applied across the energy sector from centralized large fossil and renewable power plants, to data centres, C&I segments and remote settings such as Islands. The newly formed business unit is actively pursuing further opportunities in the aforesaid segments across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia besides setting its sights on USA.

Sterling and Wilson

Sterling and Wilson is an excellent example of how the Shapoorji Pallonji family has nurtured long term associations with its business partners. The Mistry and Daruvala families have been partners in Sterling and Wilson for 3 generations. This partnership will only grow stronger, as the 4th generations of both families have recently joined the business.

Over the past 5 years, Sterling and Wilson has shown exceptional growth; with operations all over the globe, as well as an expansion in its range of services, the company's turnover has shown an extremely positive growth. From a turnover of INR 1,760 crore in 2012, Sterling and Wilson group crossed a turnover of INR 6,000 crore and is likely to exceed INR 10,000 crore by 2020. From being a predominantly India focused company in 2010, Sterling and Wilson now operates across the Middle East, Africa, Australia and Europe. In the current year, the company is expanding to the USA and South America. From being a company that was mainly focused on doing MEP projects in India, Sterling and Wilson over the past 5 years has set up global operations in manufacture of DG sets, Gas based power plants, Waste to Energy, Turnkey data centres, Transmission and Distribution and Solar EPC. With its recent foray into energy storage, Sterling and Wilson is perfectly poised to play a pivotal role in the global trend of moving away from thermal plants to a future of renewable energy with storage.

Road Safety Awareness Campaign Calls Upon Drivers to Change Their Bad Driving Habits

Dubai, United Arab Emirates.-Thursday, May 31st 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]

This week, The Road Safety Awareness Campaign launched by AETOSWire, the news distribution arm of NSG and the exclusive representative of Business Wire, a Berkshire Hathaway company, in MENA region; and RoadSafetyUAE, an initiative that aims to bring about safety to roads in the region, turn their attention to encouraging drivers to change their bad driving habits starting this Ramadan.

Two weeks into the initiative, the campaign focused on the importance of self-awareness and self-control while fasting and time-management in preventing accidents on the road.  Carrying the hashtag #HappyNotHastyRamadan, the campaign has already garnered attention and engaged various sectors from the public.  It hopes to reach and engage more people during the third week of Ramadan.

“Statistics show that 45% of UAE motorists speed out of habit,” Thomas Edelmann, RoadSafetyUAE Founder and Managing Director, shared.  “Based on the 2017 research by i-Insured, Ramadan claims or accidents were highest in middle-aged male drivers (40 years old and above) taking 31% of the total count.  The older we get, the harder it is to break out of a long-standing habit so it is one of the main focus of the campaign,” he added.

Meanwhile, President and CEO of NSG, AETOSWire, and Esmaa News, Mr. Tony AbiHanna, added, “There are a lot of bad habits that drivers may consider as negligible such as using a cellphone while driving, not wearing a seatbelt, not checking for blind spots, not using turn signals, cutting off lines, accelerating through yellow lights, etc. that in fact become the major cause of accidents.”

So he advised that, “Take the time to observe your driving habits and see what needs to be changed.  Take the first step this Ramadan to be a better and responsible driver.  It can really save lives especially your own.”
