CURE ALZHEIMER’S FUND HONORED WITH FUNDRAISER

Alzheimer’s Disease Research Foundation

Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to funding the most promising research to prevent, slow or reverse Alzheimer’s disease, is honored to be the recipient of donations raised by the Hamilton and Bowdoin Colleges’ women’s lacrosse teams. The Continentals from Hamilton College @hamiltonwomenslacrosse in Clinton, New York, were hosted by NESCAC rival Polar Bears from Bowdoin College @bowdoinwlax in Brunswick, Maine on Saturday, March 30. The teams joined forces to dedicate their game to raising awareness and contributions for research in honor of those who have been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. More than $900 was raised for research. “Over the course of their lives, women are more likely to be both caregivers and patients impacted by Alzheimer’s disease,” said Meg Smith, CEO of Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. “These young women inspire us by educating their communities about this relentless disease and our work to end it, and by taking control of their futures and reducing their own risk of dementia through education and exercise.” There are 6.9 million people in the United States—and 50 million people throughout the world—currently living with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and experts estimate there may be as many as three times more people living with the disease who have not yet been diagnosed. Both men and women develop Alzheimer’s disease, but two-thirds of all patients are women, and women are frequently the primary caregivers for spouses, partners, parents and others with the disease. “I am grateful to have partnered with my friend, Liz Grote, and her Bowdoin Lacrosse team,” said Patty Kloidt, coach of the Hamilton Women’s Lacrosse team. “She and I, along with members of our teams have experienced loved ones who suffered from this disease. We want our communities to be aware of the Cure Alzheimer's Fund and consider supporting their amazing work. Too many people, including caregivers, are suffering from this horrible disease. Please spread the word about the Cure Alzheimer's Fund and join in the fight for our future generations.” Cure Alzheimer’s Fund is a non-profit dedicated to funding the most promising research to prevent, slow, or reverse Alzheimer’s disease. Since its founding in 2004, Cure Alzheimer’s Fund has provided more than 833 grants to more than 300 of the world’s leading researchers and contributed more than $199 million to research. Its funded initiatives have been responsible for many key breakthroughs in understanding the causes and pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. Cure Alzheimer’s Fund has received a 4-star rating for more than 12 consecutive years from Charity Navigator. Our Board of Directors, Trustees, and a core group of other donors direct their donations to our overhead expenses so that 100% of general donations go to our research program.

Baron Oil advances gas exploration in Southeast Asia with Chuditch project

Baron Oil PLC

Baron Oil PLC CEO Andy Butler takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through progress at the company's TL-SO-19-16 Production Sharing Contract (Chuditch PSC) off the coast of Timor-Leste after subsidiary SundaGas commenced operations for a survey at the planned drilling location for the Chuditch-2 appraisal well. Butler said the old gas field has been reevaluated using advanced seismic technology, revealing significantly larger gas resources than previously estimated. The company is preparing to drill an appraisal well to confirm these findings and perform a production flow test (DST) to demonstrate commercial viability. Baron Oil has funded its exploration through support from shareholders in London, including a recent fundraising event in February, and is actively seeking additional funding partners. While the company has also applied for a license in the 33rd licencing round in offshore UK, Butler said its primary focus remains on Southeast Asia. The company has reported positive government support from Timor-Leste, with the government increasing its stake in the project. Immediate plans include conducting a site survey for the well location and engaging with drilling contractors.

Kincora Copper CEO Sam Spring discusses strategic exploration and partnerships

Kincora Copper Ltd

Kincora Copper Ltd (TSX-V:KCC, ASX:KCC, OTC:BZDLF) CEO Sam Spring tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion the company looking for partners for its portfolio of assets in the central west of New South Wales, Australia, a region noted for significant copper deposits. Kincora, a copper porphyry explorer and project generator, holds a strategic position in the Macquarie Arc, featuring both early-stage prospects and advanced projects like Fairholme and Trundle, located within a globally significant mineral system with existing infrastructure. The region has witnessed substantial mergers and acquisitions activity, including Newmont's acquisition of Newcrest and Metals Acquisition Ltd's purchase of the CSA copper mine from Glencore, indicating a high level of corporate interest and investment. In December, Kincora secured 100% interest in the New South Wales projects, aiming to attract asset-level partners to fund extensive exploration without diluting shareholder value at the company level. With $1.7 million in cash, Kincora seeks to engage majors or mid-tier companies for this purpose, following successful models of asset-level investment that have generated shareholder value in the region. Regarding its Mongolian assets, Kincora is exploring divestiture options to refocus capital and efforts on its Australian projects, which are the company's core focus. Recent drilling results from the Trundle project and adjacent mineralized systems have been encouraging, with preparations underway for further exploration phases. Investors should watch for milestones including drilling by AI partner Earth AI at the Cundumbul project, advanced negotiations with asset-level partners, and the exploration of additional opportunities.

Fah Mai Holdings' UK head says market pullback is an opportunity for buyers

Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc

Fah Mai Holdings Group Inc (OTC:FMHG) UK head and manager of Whisky Bull Auctions Jacob Carter discussed trends in the whisky auction market with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Carter noted that over the first three months of 2024, there has been a stabilisation in Scotch whisky prices, while Japanese whisky continues to experience a decline from its peak in April 2022. The bottle market is anticipated to improve and return to its former prominence by September 2024, offering bottle traders more market flexibility compared to cask trading, which requires a longer investment period. Carter said a recent market pullback has created opportunities to purchase rare bottles at lower prices, potentially leading to profits as the market recovers. In line with Fah Mai Holdings' approach, he highlighted Whisky Bull Auctions' policy of transparency and honesty in market dealings to prevent investors and collectors from overpaying or getting stuck with unsellable items. Reflecting on the past 12 months, Carter noted significant fluctuations in auction prices for rare whiskies, with some notable declines in value but an overall slow recovery in prices. He emphasised the importance of honesty and education in the whisky investment and collecting community.

Bitget Wallet Unveils $200,000 Meme Coin Fiesta Following Its Meme Coin Launch

Bitget

Bitget Wallet, at the forefront of the Web3 wallet landscape, has recently unveiled a meme coin-themed event, showcasing a substantial prize pool of $200,000. This move comes on the heels of the successful launch of its meme coin, MOEW, on the Base mainnet. This experimental token launch marked a bold step in Bitget Wallet's journey towards innovation in the meme coin space. The debut of MOEW last week achieved a surge of over 22,000% within just an hour after its launch. At present, MOEW is held by nearly 100,000 wallet addresses, and its total transaction volume has soared past $120 million. This strong performance not only places MOEW as a notable asset on the Base chain but also highlights Bitget Wallet's capability to stimulate noticeable activity and interest throughout the network. In a bid to build on this momentum, Bitget Wallet has rolled out the 'Game of MEME' event, aimed at deepening market engagement with meme coins.

4 Stocks For A Decarbonized Future

VVPR, ARRY, ENLT, SMXT

The whole world is on a decarbonization mission amid rising climate change concerns. In fact, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that this year will bring $1.7 trillion worth of investments in deploying renewable energy and other clean-energy technologies—a new all-time high that follows six straight years of increases. Experts have, however, warned that decarbonization will involve more than just electrifying transportation and using more solar and wind-generated energy. It will also take sustainable agricultural practices, low-carbon manufacturing, green construction and other climate-friendly solutions. This has resulted in a surge of deal-making, as illustrated by the fact that venture capital decarbonisation-related deal value topped $433 billion in 2023, according to GlobalData Net Zero by 2050 report. In addition to that, a number of global funds have shown their overwhelming support for the trend. For instance, the Arab Energy Fund has said it plans to invest up to $1 billion over the next five years in decarbonisation technologies in the Middle East and North Africa For a long time, the only way for investors to get exposure to the decarbonization opportunity was through pure-play industrial carbon capture companies, mostly done in private markets, meaning everyday investors are completely shut out. However, we have identified four companies that could provide an alternative way of playing the increasing decarbonization momentum. As mentioned earlier, one crucial part of the effort to achieve net-zero emissions in addition to carbon reduction strategies is the transition to electric vehicles (EVs), which is where VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ:VVPR) comes in. VVPR’s flagship subsidiary, Tembo, supplies conversion kits containing all the parts needed to convert a vehicle from an internal combustion engine (ICE) to an electric vehicle (EV). These parts include the batteries, an e-motor, a reduction box, a charger, software, and many other components that make the converted vehicle work safely and seamlessly. Over the past year or so, the EV specialist has been one of the major beneficiaries of the EV transition, especially outside the US. Tembo’s conversion kits have seen significant interest from the market, as illustrated by the company securing a commitment of 5000+ kits and an order pipeline of 10,000+ in the first half of 2023. Those included an MOU in Jordan for 1,000 kits, opening a path to the Middle East, which is the largest Landcruiser market, and a definitive agreement in Kenya for 4,000 kits, providing entry into second-hand vehicle segments, which expands the addressable market considerably. That early success in those markets has validated Tembo’s conversion kits as a viable solution to help in the decarbonization process, and investors are taking notice. VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ:VVPR) recently announced that Tembo had met all the milestones to obtain the final follow-on strategic direct equity investment pursuant to a commitment received in June 2023 from a UAE-based private investment office backed by a member of the ruling Al Maktoum family of Dubai. Under the agreement terms, the investor had the option to increase their cumulative investment in subsequent closings up to $10 million based on milestones that have now all been met. The follow-on financing values Tembo at $120 million, which means the value per share of VVPR should be approximately $40 per share. VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ:VVPR) will continue to retain its majority stake in Tembo, which appears to be on track to unlocking even more shareholder value. Tembo recently announced it would be going public via a merger with Cactus Acquisition Corp. (CCTS), a NASDAQ-listed SPAC, at an indicative pre-money equity valuation of $838 million. Here’s a quick breakdown of the deal: VivoPower shareholders get 5 Tembo shares worth $10 each for every share held. Tembo will issue a special dividend of $1 per share, which would translate to an additional $5 per share held for VivoPower shareholders. Even if the Tembo share price upon IPO is only $1, this implies a per-share valuation for VVPR of $25, including the value of dividend shares. At the same time, the company has announced that its board has authorized a capital management strategy, including a stock buyback program, that will allow the company to purchase up to $5 million of its outstanding shares. These share buybacks will be funded using the company’s proceeds from the realization of business and asset divestitures, including spin-offs like the Caret business unit’s portfolio. VivoPower International PLC (NASDAQ:VVPR) stock has performed exceptionally considering that over the past week alone, shares of the sustainable energy solutions company have created new 52-week highs and made investors triple-digit returns. Array Technologies (NASDAQ:ARRY) enables renewable energy companies to harness the sun’s power with patented trackers that drive multiple rows of solar panels and track the sun’s rays for efficient energy generation throughout the day. Though it may sound like a niche product, it has a large addressable market, as illustrated by the fact that tracker demand is growing 30%–40% faster than the rest of the solar industry, according to the company’s November 2023 investor presentation. One of the key metrics for the company’s business is the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), and Array claims to deliver the lowest LCOE for its customer base over an expected 30-year life. Another aspect that makes ARRY appealing from an investor viewpoint is that the company looks set to receive a lot of support from the Inflation Reduction Act since almost all of its materials are domestically sourced. Furthermore, the company is also growing its international presence, as shown by its recent partnerships with companies like Aluminum Products Company to support the increasing market for the renewable energy sector in the Middle East. According to its most recent filings, Array Technologies. generated $1.57 billion in revenue in FY 2023, while adjusted earnings per share for the full year came in at $1.13, almost five times higher than the $0.26 per share it reported in 2022. Enlight Renewable Energy (NASDAQ:ENLT) is an independent power producer (IPP) that builds and develops solar and wind power facilities worldwide. While most of its current plants are in Israel and Europe, the company also has several projects nearing completion in the US. According to its filings, the company has a gross installed capacity of 1883 MW, with a pipeline expected to further install 618 MW and 1500 MWh of capacity by the end of 2025. The company recently reported Q3 2023 earnings, revealing that its revenues grew by 3% YoY, reaching $58 million, fueled by new projects and inflation indexation in PPAs. During the period, the company's net income increased by 35% to $26 million, primarily due to a non-cash benefit of $8 million from the mark-to-market of interest rate hedges related to the Atrisco project. The company’s renewable energy projects have gained solid momentum across Europe, with the company revealing that the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), together with Erste Group Bank AG and its local bank Erste Bank a.d. Novi Sad (Erste), have approved a financing package worth $101 million for the construction of a new windfarm in Serbia. The EBRD and Erste will provide parallel loans worth $50.5 million each, including the associated debt service reserve facilities that Enlight will use to develop, construct, and operate the 94-megawatt (MW) windfarm. This project was financed under Serbia’s first renewable energy auction for wind capacity, which took place in 2023, and once commissioned, the Pupin windfarm will be able to supply clean, green electricity to more than 40,000 households. SolarMax Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMXT), through its subsidiaries, operates as an integrated solar energy company in the United States and China. The company's US operations primarily consist of the sale and installation of photovoltaic and battery backup systems for residential and commercial customers and the sale of LED systems and services to government and commercial users, while its China operations mainly consist of identifying and procuring solar farm projects for resale to third parties and performing EPC services primarily for solar farm projects. Last month, the company announced the closing of its initial public offering of 4.5 million shares of common stock at an initial public offering price of $4 per share, raising gross proceeds of $18 million.
