ContourGlobal Inaugurates Innovative Hybrid Power System in Bonaire

0

BONAIRE, Dutch Antilles and LONDON, Feb. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For seven years ContourGlobal and its client, “WEB” (Water-en Energiebedrijf Bonaire, the island’s electricity and water utility), have collaborated to achieve the holy grail of electricity provision on island nations: more renewable energy, lower costs and around-the-clock reliability.  This common challenge throughout the Caribbean region is now being solved on Bonaire, where ContourGlobal recently inaugurated the extension of its innovative Hybrid Power System joined by representatives of WEB, the island government and other dignitaries and guests.

The Dutch island of Bonaire enjoys strong seasonal winds, peaking from December to June.  Harnessing this extraordinary wind resource enables ContourGlobal to deliver electricity that is lower in cost and carbon emissions than liquid fuel-based alternatives. Because of the intermittency of wind and solar resources, reliable uninterrupted electricity supply requires an innovative solution that can keep the lights on even when wind speeds drop or clouds block the sun.  Utilizing a new state-of-the-art Li-Ion battery with a 6MW/6MWh capacity and power management system supplied by Wärtsilä Greensmith, ContourGlobal is able to maximize wind generation, resulting in reduced costs to WEB by 36% over the last 7 years, decreased CO2 emissions and improved engine efficiency. This has been achieved while maintaining unprecedented levels of reliability including zero blackouts for five straight years.

The hybrid generation system owned and operated by ContourGlobal Bonaire consists of a new battery and digital power management system, the wind farm and newly expanded dual-fuel engines which together supply the entire island’s electricity demand. The new battery storage system supports Bonaire’s grid by injecting active and reactive current to balance decreases in wind speed with a rapid response time of 50-100 milliseconds.  The newly enhanced electricity production system also eliminates the need for the engines to operate at costly low levels of output to support the reliability needs of the electricity grid. Instead, the battery itself can maintain a reliable electricity supply on a second-by-second basis so that during high wind periods the engines can be shut down or used only as a last resort.

Bonaire, the world’s first Blue Destination, is committed to sustainable tourism and has undertaken an ambitious plan to promote 100% sustainable electricity production, including the maximum possible contribution from renewable electricity.  ContourGlobal’s contribution to this plan through its expansion of this unique project was recently recognized by the “Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum” (CREF), which awarded ContourGlobal Bonaire “BEST MICROGRID PROJECT” for 2019.

Joseph C. Brandt, President and CEO of ContourGlobal said, “Our new innovative battery-led hybrid system will move Blue Bonaire one step closer to its ambition of a fully sustainable but still reliable grid.  The success of the project is a direct result of the productive partnership between the teams of ContourGlobal, Wärtsilä Greensmith and ILTEKNO who delivered the project without any Lost Time Incidents in record time and on budget. We look forward to continuing to partner with our client WEB to increase renewable energy production by installing new solar generation and more productive wind turbines.”

If You Bought Electronics Containing a Lithium Ion Cylindrical Battery Such as a Laptop, Power Tool, Camcorder or a Replacement Battery, Your Legal Rights and Money Received From Settlements May Be Affected.

0

OAKLAND, California, Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement is being issued by Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP regarding In re Lithium ION Batteries Antitrust Litigation.

A Federal Court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

Why Are There Settlements?
LG Chem, Ltd. and LG Chem America, Inc. (“LG Chem”), Hitachi Maxell Ltd. and Maxell Corporation of America (“Hitachi Maxell“), and NEC Corporation (“NEC”) (collectively, the “Settling Defendants”) agreed to pay $44.95 million in Settlements to resolve claims that Settling Defendants allegedly fixed the price of cylindrical Lithium-Ion Batteries, causing individuals and businesses to pay more for products like portable computers, power tools, camcorders or replacement batteries for any of these products.  A federal court previously approved the Settlements but is now reconsidering them under a revised Distribution Plan, and will also consider Class Counsel’s request to reinstate the prior awards of attorneys’ fees and reimbursement of litigation expenses.  

A more detailed notice, which includes additional information about the settlements, is available at the settlement website (www.reversethecharge.com) or by calling 1-855-730-8645.

What Is This Notice About?
This notice is to inform you about recent changes to the proposed Distribution Plan for the Settlements, extended deadlines to exclude yourself from the Settlements or to object to the Settlements, and Class Counsel’s renewed request for attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, before the Court decides whether to finally approve the Settlements with Settling Defendants and the revised Distribution Plan.

Am I Included?
The Class includes all persons and entities who, as residents of the United States and during the period from January 1, 2000 through May 31, 2011, indirectly purchased new for their own use and not for resale one of the following products which contained a lithium-ion cylindrical battery manufactured by one or more Defendants in this lawsuit or their co-conspirators: (i) a portable computer; (ii) a power tool; (iii) a camcorder; or (iv) a replacement battery for any of these products. “Indirectly” means the product was purchased from someone other than the manufacturer, such as a retail store.

What Do The Settlements Provide?
The Settlement Fund is $44.95 million. After deducting Court-approved attorneys’ fees, service awards, notice and administration costs, and litigation expenses, the remaining Net Settlement Fund will be divided into two funds, a Repealer Fund and a Non-Repealer Fund.  The Repealer Fund (90% of the Net Settlement Fund) will be available for distribution to Class Members who are residents of the following Repealer States: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.  All other states and/or jurisdictions are “Non-Repealer” States.  The Non-Repealer Fund (10% of the Net Settlement Fund) will be available for distribution to Class Members who are residents of Non-Repealer States.  However, the plan for distributing the Settlement Funds is not final and may be changed by the Court after considering any and all objections by Class Members.  If the Court determines that further changes to the allocation of the Settlement Funds between the Repealer and Non-Repealer Fund are appropriate, those changes will be posted on the settlement website (www.reversethecharge.com), which also provides more details about the Settlements.

How Can I Get A Payment And How Much Will I Receive?
Money from all settlements in this case will be distributed together on a per-Class Member basis, but the amount you receive from each settlement will depend on the Court-approved Distribution Plan.  No money will be distributed yet.  If final approval is granted to the Settlements with Settling Defendants, Class Members who have already filed a valid and timely claim will receive cash payments.  The deadline to file a claim has already passed.  The deadline was July 19, 2019.  If you did not already file a claim, you will not receive a cash payment from the Settlements with Settling Defendants, unless you previously requested to be excluded from the settlement and successfully apply to rejoin the class as described in the Long Form Notice.

What Are My Rights?
Even if you do nothing, you will be bound by the Court’s decisions concerning these settlements. To keep your rights to sue the Settling Defendants regarding Lithium Ion Batteries, you must exclude yourself from the Class in writing by April 13, 2020.  If you stay in the Class, you may object to the settlements with Settling Defendants in writing by April 13, 2020.  The settlements, along with details on how to exclude yourself from the settlements, re-join the class, or object to the settlements with Settling Defendants, are available at the settlement website (www.reversethecharge.com).

The Court will hold a Final Fairness Hearing at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, May 20, 2020, at the United States Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Courtroom 1, 4th Floor, Oakland, CA 94612, to consider whether to approve the settlements with the Settling Defendants.  Class Counsel may request at the hearing attorneys’ fees not to exceed 30% of the cumulative Settlement Fund of $113.45 million obtained in this case thus far, or $33,829,176, plus costs and expenses in an amount not to exceed $6,751,735.84 and service awards to the Class representatives in the amount of $10,000 each for the work they have undertaken on behalf of Plaintiffs, and for $25,000 for two government entities.  If you object, you or your own attorney may appear and speak at the hearing to comment on the settlements with Settling Defendants and/or on any request for attorneys’ fees, service awards for Class representatives, or reimbursement of costs and expenses at your own expense, but you are not required to appear.  The hearing may be moved to a different date or time without additional notice, so it is a good idea to check the website for additional information. Please do not contact the Court about this case.  Detailed information is available at the settlement website (www.reversethecharge.com) or by calling 1-855-730-8645.

Smart Fit opens its first gym in El Salvador

0

Focused on Latin America, the network continues its rapid expansion and enters its 12th country

SÃO PAULO, Feb. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Smart Fit, the largest network of gyms in Latin America, has inaugurated its first gym in the city of San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador. The expansion is part of the company’s plan to increase its international presence and to tap the market potential in the Caribbean country.

“Opening up our new gym underlines Smart Fit’s strategy to continue growing in regions that are not being served, offering a top-rate gym at a price that is affordable for all Salvadorans,” said Edgard Corona, founder and president of Smart Fit.             

With El Salvador, Smart Fit is now in 12 countries. They are: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and the Dominican Republic. The expectation is to maintain the pace of new gym openings, and to continue investing in Latin American countries that are ripe for investment. 

Expansion numbers

Smart Fit recently hit 2.8 million gym-goers at all of its locations. In 2020, the company estimates there will be 1.3 million new members in Brazil alone – which is approximately 2.5 registrations per minute. This year will also see a gym opening every 36 hours, for a total of 238 new gyms in Latin America. 

According to André Pezeta, vice president of Smart Fit’s Latin America division, the brand has ambitious expansion plans. “We continue to fulfill our plan to provide high-level fitness facilities to everyone, and our objective is to go anywhere in the world where this is possible, whether that is in Latin America or in Europe,” he said. By the end of this year, the brand would like to have 1035 gyms on the continent. “Our low-cost model is self-sustaining and can go anywhere,” the executive concluded. In December 2019 alone, the expansion hit the historic mark of a gym opened every 16 hours. 

Health within everyone’s reach

The gym network allows everyone access to top-notch fitness facilities, with the best infrastructure at an accessible price. Today, lack of physical activity affects 47% of Brazil’s population, which has motivated the brand’s founder to invest even more in one of the largest gym networks worldwide. “Our main mission is to fight the growing index of sedentarism. To do this, we will keep expanding,” Edgard said.

According to the most recent report from IHRSA released in 2019 – the leading association that analyzes performance indicators for 65 markets worldwide – Smart Fit is the third-largest gym network worldwide, in terms of number of own gyms. The brand currently has 797* gyms.

*According to data from January 29, 2020.

Smart Fit

With 10 years in operation, the Smart Fit gym network, which owns the brands Bio Ritmo, Smart Fit and 02, has more than 700 gyms located in all states in Brazil and in the Federal District. It also has operations in Mexico, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Colombia, Argentina and Ecuador. With more than 2.3 million clients, Smart Fit has monthly rates starting at R$ 69.90. According to the 2019 global ranking from IHRSA, the brand became the third largest in the sector in the world in terms of number of own gyms. The commitment to offer top-notch fitness facilities to everyone is what moves Smart Fit. More information at www.smartfit.com.br.

Sony/ATV Signs Global Music Publishing Agreement With Latin Pop Band CNCO

0

NEW YORK, Feb. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Sony/ATV Music Publishing today announced that it has signed a global agreement with the platinum-selling and Latin GRAMMY®-nominated Latin-American group, CNCO. The multi-year deal covers the group’s catalog of current and future songs.

Jorge Mejia, President & CEO of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, Latin America and U.S. Latin said: “In a very small amount of time, CNCO has become nothing short of a household name among Latin music fans. In collaboration with our worldwide Sony/ATV teams, we look forward to giving shape to the songwriting dreams of Christopher, Zabdiel, Joel, Erick, and Richard, and to partnering in taking them to the next level both as songwriters and as artists.”

Walter Kolm, President & CEO of WK Entertainment added: “Since their formation, CNCO’s Chris, Erick, Joel, Richard and Zabdiel have not only grown as a band, but also as singer/songwriters. We are excited about this collaboration and feel confident that the team at Sony/ATV are the perfect partners to help these talented artists continue on that trajectory.”

Signed to Sony Music Latin, the singers/songwriters shot to international superstardom with their breakout singles – “Reggaetón Lento”–the worldwide phenomenon, which to date has accumulated over 1.5 billion views on YouTube and nearly 500 million streams on Spotify, and “Hey DJ” which has garnered over 300 million views on YouTube and 340 million streams on Spotify. Since their debut in 2015, CNCO’s No. 1 Billboard Latin Pop charting albums include Primera Cita and CNCO, as well as their most recent EP Que Quiénes Somos, for which the group penned nearly all of the tracks. Their numerous sold-out shows throughout the U.S., Latin America and Europe have solidified the band as one of Latin pop’s most recognizable hit-makers.

CNCO’s music and performances started to break language barriers with their sophomore album, CNCO, debuting at No. 1 in 13 countries across the Americas, such as the United States, Puerto Rico and Chile, and on the Top 20 charts in more than 30 countries around the world, including Singapore, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Cameroon, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Ireland. They’ve collaborated with artists such as Little Mix, Meghan Trainor and Becky G and in their early days, opened for Latin and Pop music icons, Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull and Ricky Martin on their world tours.

The Latin music sensations, composed of Joel Pimentel, Richard Camacho, Erick Brian Colón, Christopher Vélez, and Zabdiel De Jesús, were the 2015 winners of La Banda, Univision’s music competition show launched to find the next Latin boy band (created by Simon Cowell and produced by Ricky Martin). At the grand finale of the show, the five artists, who hail from the countries of Ecuador, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, were announced as the members of CNCO (pronounced C-N-C-O), whose name is a take on the Spanish word for five, “cinco.”

With a passionate community of fans, known as CNCOwners, the quintet has taken home some of the top music industry awards, including ten Latin American Music Awards, six Billboard Latin Music Awards, two iHeartRadio Music Awards, and four Teen Choice Awards, among others.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — FIBRA Prologis (BMV: FIBRAPL 14), a leading owner and operator of Class-A industrial real estate in Mexico, today announced the resolutions adopted by the ordinary holders’ meeting held on Monday, February 10, 2020 at the offices of the Common Representative, Monex Casa de Bolsa, S.A. de C.V., Monex Grupo Financiero, located at Reforma No. 284, 9th Floor, Col. Juárez, C.P. 06600, México City, Mexico. 

With a Quorum of 90.10% (ninety point one percent), the following resolutions were adopted:

FIRST: It is approved (i) an Additional Issuance of up to 200,000 (two hundred million) Additional CBFIs, at a price of $41.5 (forty one Pesos 50/100 MxCy, the “Subscription Price“), in accordance to the provisions of Clause 3.2 of the Trust Agreement (the “Issuance“); (ii) to use up to for the Issuance 200,000 (two hundred million) Additional CBFIs currently registered in the RNV, through the multi-currency program authorized by the CNBV through the official communication 153/11724/2019 dated May 24, 2019 (the “Program“); (iii) the Investment in a real estate portfolio of a Related Party of the Manager, consisting in 10 properties located in Mexico City, Monterrey and Ciudad Juárez (the “Portfolio“), and as a result, the use of the proceeds from the Issuance, including without limitation, for general corporate purposes; and (iv) to use the Additional CBFIs of the Additional Issuance to grant Holders a preferential right, in accordance with the following process:

A. 

Preferential Right. FIBRA Prologis will grant a preferential right (the “Preferential Right”) to existing CBFI Holders that are qualified and authorized under the securities laws and regulations applicable to them and subject to the restrictions and limitations described in the section titled “Important Notice” herein, to subscribe and pay for such Additional CBFIs on a pro-rata basis with respect to the number of CBFIs held by each Holder on the Subscription Record Date. Such Preferential Right may be exercised by the Holders during a period that will start on February 18, 2020 and conclude at 11:59 p.m. (Mexico City, Mexico time) on March 4, 2020, as may be extended by the Manager (the “Preferential Period”). The Manager may terminate the subscription and the Preferential Right at its sole discretion at any time. The Preferential Rights will be non-transferable and non-tradeable. Any Holder (except for Prologis or any of its Affiliates, as applicable) that intends to acquire, directly or indirectly, a number of CBFIs that results in an ownership of 9.9% or more of FIBRA Prologis´ outstanding CBFIs (or if it already holds 9.9% or more, if it intends to acquire, directly or indirectly, an additional number of CBFIs that results in an ownership of a multiple of 9.9% or more) requires the prior written authorization of the Technical Committee. If any Holder acquires such amounts without the prior authorization of the Technical Committee, such Holder shall forfeit all corporate rights with respect to such CBFIs, including without limitation, the right to attend, vote or be counted in respect of any quorum at any Holders Meeting and the right to appoint a member of the Technical Committee by virtue of such ownership of CBFIs, and such Holder shall be liable to FIBRA Prologis for damages arising out of such purchase.

B.

Subscription Process. During the Preferential Period, the Manager will make available to all qualified existing Holders a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) to be completed, signed and delivered to the Manager by the Holders wishing to acquire CBFIs pursuant to the Preferential Right, directly or through their respective custodians, with a binding, unconditional and irrevocable offer to purchase (i) all or part of the Additional CBFIs that correspond pro rata to such Holder’s CBFIs held as of the Subscription Record Date (the “Pro Rata CBFIs”), and (ii) in the event that any Holders of CBFIs do not subscribe all of their corresponding Pro Rata CBFIs, up to an additional specified number of Additional CBFIs (the “Excess CBFIs”).

C. 

Allocation Process. The Manager will carry out the allocation of the Additional CBFIs that will be issued in connection with the Preferential Right in accordance with the following procedures:

(1)

Receipt of Purchase Offers. During the Preferential Period, the binding, unconditional and irrevocable purchase offers submitted by each Holder will be received by the Manager, who will maintain a register of the Subscription Agreements and notify the Trustee and the Common Representative on a daily basis of the number of Additional CBFIs in respect of which it has received Subscription Agreements. The Manager will determine, in its sole discretion, all questions as to the proper form of documents and the validity and eligibility and acceptance of any subscriptions, and the Manager reserves the right to reject any subscriptions determined by it not to be in proper form, or the acceptance of which may, in its opinion, be unlawful.

(2)

Allocation. On the business day following the end of the Preferential Period (such date, the “Allocation Date”), the Additional CBFIs will be allocated by the Manager among the Holders in accordance with the following procedures, provided that, if a Holder fails to validly submit its respective Subscription Agreement during the Preferential Period, it will be deemed that such Holder waived its Preferential Right:

 i. 

First, the Additional CBFIs will be allocated among the Holders who have validly submitted their Subscription Agreements based on the number of Pro Rata CBFIs specified in their Subscription Agreements (and excluding any offer to subscribe for Excess CBFIs), up to the maximum number of Additional CBFIs that they have a right to subscribe based on their pro-rata ownership of CBFIs as of the Subscription Record Date; and

ii.

Second, if after the allocation referred to in subparagraph (i) above, any Additional CBFIs have not been allocated, the remaining Additional CBFIs will be allocated to those Holders that have included in their Subscription Agreements an offer to acquire Excess CBFIs, based on the number of Excess CBFIs that they offered to subscribe; provided that, in the event the aggregate number of Excess CBFIs specified in the Subscription Agreements exceeds the number of Additional CBFIs available, the remaining Additional CBFIs will be allocated among such Holders pro-rata based on the number of Excess CBFIs specified by each Holder in its respective Subscription Agreement (i.e., the total number of remaining Additional CBFIs multiplied by a fraction, the numerator being the number of Excess CBFIs specified in the Subscription Agreement of the corresponding Holder and the denominator being the total aggregate number of Excess CBFIs included by the Holders in all Subscription Agreements); and provided, further, that the Manager shall verify that no Holder (except for Prologis or any of its Affiliates, as applicable) acquires ownership, directly or indirectly, of 9.9% or more of FIBRA Prologis´ outstanding CBFIs, without the previous and written authorization of the Technical Committee.

(3)

Subscription by Prologis. Prologis, the Manager and any other Holders that are Affiliates of Prologis have indicated their intention to subscribe an aggregate number of CBFIs equal to 47.1% of the aggregate number of CBFIs acquired by all other Holders of CBFIs in the subscription who are not Prologis or Affiliates of Prologis, so as to maintain their current 47.1% ownership of CBFIs.

(4)

Remaining CBFIs. Once the allocations referred to in the previous paragraphs have been completed, the Manager will notify the Trustee and the Common Representative of the number of Additional CBFIs subscribed by the Holders, as well as the allocations made in accordance with the procedure described above. If less than all of the Additional CBFIs have been allocated, the remaining Additional CBFIs will be cancelled.

(5)

Announcement of Allocation. On the next business day after the Allocation Date, the Manager will announce the end of the Preferential Period and the results of the allocation by issuing a press release and notify the Holders in accordance with the instructions included in the Subscription Agreements of their respective allocations and of the payment and settlement date and will instruct the Trustee to publish a material event (evento relevante).

(6)

Payment and Settlement Date. The payment and settlement date will be at least six business days after the notification of such date pursuant to the previous paragraph. Payment of the Subscription Price for the subscribed CBFIs must be made in Pesos through Indeval. Settlement of the subscribed CBFIs will be made through the book-entry system of Indeval once payment of the Subscription Price is received. Any dividend or distribution by FIBRA Prologis with respect to its CBFIs will only accrue with respect to the Additional CBFIs if declared after the settlement date, and Holders will have no right to receive dividends or distributions declared on or prior to the settlement date with respect to Additional CBFIs.

(7)

If the proceeds derived from the Additional Issuance are not sufficient to pay for the Portfolio, FIBRA Prologis may fund the remainder of the purchase price with financing under its existing credit lines, which would result in an increase in its indebtedness. In addition, if the required antitrust approval for the acquisition of the Portfolio is not received from the Mexican antitrust authorities, any other condition to the acquisition is not satisfied or the Acquisition is otherwise not consummated for any reason, FIBRA Prologis intends to use the net proceeds from the Additional Issuance to repay existing debt and for general corporate purposes.

SECOND. It is approved to increase the total amount of the Program by 200,000,000 CBFIs and up to Ps.8,300,000,000.00. 

THIRD. The Common Representative and the Trustee are instructed to carry out, with the assistance and collaboration of the law firm Creel, García, Cuéllar, Aiza y Enríquez, S.C., any and all acts required and/or convenient to comply with the resolutions adopted by the Holders Meeting, including without limitation to obtain authorizations from the corresponding authorities.

FOURTH. Fernando José Vizcaya Ramos, Claudia Beatriz Zermeño Inclán, Elena Rodríguez Moreno, Alejandra Tapia Jiménez, José Luis Urrea Sauceda, José Daniel Hernández Torres, Jesús Abraham Cantú Orozco, Rebeca Eríves Sepulveda and Martha Corona Benavides or any other attorneys-in-fact of the Common Representative are designated to carry out any and all acts required and/or convenient to comply with the resolutions adopted by the Holders Meeting.
