MONTREAL, Jan. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Relevium Technologies Inc. (TSX.V:“RLV”, OTCQB:“RLLVF” and Frankfurt: “6BX”) (the “*Company*”* or *“*Relevium*”), is pleased to announce the national screening of “Weed the People” across eight Canadian cities on January 15, 2019.Relevium Technologies, in partnership with Executive Producer Ricki Lake, Director Abby Epstein and Cannakids.org, will be conducting a nation-wide screening of Weed the People, a compelling, emotional and educational film that explores the potential benefits of medical cannabis oils for pediatric applications. The film follows the journey of five families dealing with children suffering from cancer and the introduction of cannabis oil to treat their children following the failure of conventional treatments. The families in the documentary pursue the use of cannabis alongside conventional treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation, revealing thought-provoking outcomes that support further research and exposing the legal contextual hurdles faced by these parents as they pursue lifesaving alternatives for their children.

Relevium Technologies recently announced the exclusive license from Cannakids’ to introduce medical cannabis formulations, SOPs and branding into the Canadian market to pursue pediatric applications and support ongoing research. Tracy Ryan, the CEO of CK Properties and its brand Cannakids, and her family are one of the five families described in the film, which also tells the story of her motivation to enter into the medical cannabis business to support her daughter’s battle against cancer.

Aurelio Useche, CEO of Relevium Technologies stated: “The film is an amazing journey into the potential opportunities of complementing traditional treatments for Cancer and other illness in Pediatric patients.” Mr. Useche stated further: “We at Relevium are committed to introduce and further develop these possibilities, which is why we feel everyone should attend the screening of this amazing documentary, a film that not only opens a potential door for hope for patients and their families, but also further validates the legalization of Cannabis in Canada by the Canadian Government and by our prime minister Justin Trudeau.”

*TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 10, 2019 / BeWhere Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BEW, OTCQB: BEWFF) *(*"BeWhere" *or the *"Company")* is pleased to announce its intention to complete a private placement equity financing of units of the Company ("*Units*") for minimum gross proceeds of $2,500,000 (the "*Minimum Offering*") and maximum gross proceeds of $3,500,000 (the "*Maximum Offering*" and collectively with the Minimum Offering, the "*Private Placement*") at a price of $0.19 per Unit.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a "*Common Share*") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a "*Warrant*"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.35 for a period of 5 years following the closing of the Private Placement.

The Company has entered into an engagement letter with PI Financial Corp. to act as lead agent (the "*Agent*") in connection with the Private Placement on a "best-efforts" basis.

The Agent will be paid a cash commission equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement (3.5% in respect of President's List purchasers up to $2,500,000) and will receive broker warrants entitling the Agent to purchase a number of Common Shares equal to 7% of the number of the Units sold pursuant to the Private Placement (3.5% in respect of President's List purchasers up to $2,500,000).

In addition, the Company has granted the Agent an over-allotment option to sell up to an additional 15% of the Units to be issued pursuant to the Private Placement, exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 24 hours before the closing of the Private Placement.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for purchase of inventory, for working capital and, if the Maximum Offering is achieved, for expansion of operations in Europe.

The Company also announces that a strategic investor and current partner is expected to be subscribing for Units in the Private Placement in the amount of $1,000,000. Owen Moore, CEO of BeWhere Inc. said "We are pleased to expand our existing relationship with a strategic partner/investor. We have worked closely with this company during the engineering, proof of concept and commercialization of our Mobile Internet of Things (M-IOT) solutions and we are pleased to expand our relationship with the offering."

In that directors and senior officers of the Company will be participating in part of the Private Placement, that part of the Private Placement will be a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("*MI 61-101*"), which requires the Company to obtain "minority approval" of the Company's shareholders of the related party transaction unless there is an exemption from such requirement. The Company is relying on the exemption in Section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the securities to be distributed to the related parties will be less than 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The Private Placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance. The Common Shares and Warrants issued as part of the Units pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four-month and a day hold period.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "*U.S. Securities Act*") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

*Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:*

· Received an order for and shipped a follow-on FOX-XP^TM Multi-Wafer Test and Burn-in System and WaferPak^TM Aligner to the company’s lead customer for wafer level test and burn-in of silicon photonics devices.
· Shipped follow-on ABTS^TM Test and Burn-in System to a wireless communications chipset company for use in high volume production burn-in of automotive devices.
· Announced today the addition of a new product in Aehr Test’s FOX-P^TM platform, the FOX-NP^TM system, which increases the market opportunity for the company’s FOX^TM systems and contactors with a low cost, small footprint entry-level system that provides a configuration for initial product development, production qualification and New Production Introduction (NPI).
· Received a commitment and expect an order imminently from a new customer to use Aehr Test’s FOX-P Platform for test and burn-in of silicon photonics devices. This additional production test and burn-in customer plans to utilize Aehr Test’s new FOX-NP system to begin their production ramp and then transition to high volume production test and burn-in of 100% of their silicon photonics devices using Aehr Test’s FOX-XP systems.
· Appointed new Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing to oversee all aspects of the Company’s customer facing sales, marketing and support team, including direct sales, distributors and representatives in Asia and Europe, and its subsidiaries in Japan and Germany.

*Gayn Erickson, President and CEO of Aehr Test Systems, commented:*

“While our revenue in the second quarter was lower on a year-over-year basis, it was in line with the expectations that we discussed in last quarter’s call for a softer first half of the fiscal year, with many of our customers’ capacity ramps expected in the second half of our fiscal year. We continue to feel positive about the second half, but there are in fact both positive and negative events that impact our expectations for the fiscal second half and full year.

“Our lead customer for our FOX-XP system for production wafer level burn-in of silicon photonics devices continues to drive increased business for us. This customer, who is one of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturers, has a very strong forecast for their capacity ramp, which will consume the system capacity they have ordered to date. We continue to expect orders for a significant number of our WaferPak Contactors by the end of this fiscal year to populate their FOX-XP systems, as well as orders for additional FOX-XP systems and WaferPak Contactors throughout calendar year 2019 and beyond.

“We are pleased to announce that just this week we received a commitment from a new customer to use our FOX-P Platform for test and burn-in of silicon photonics devices. This additional production customer will utilize our new FOX-NP system to begin their production ramp and then transition to high volume production test and burn-in of 100% of their silicon photonics devices using our FOX-XP systems, which have the capacity to test and burn-in over 4,600 singulated die devices in parallel. We are expecting imminent placement of an order by this customer for their initial design verification, qualification and production needs.

“The FOX-NP system is a new product within Aehr Test’s FOX-P family that offers a lower cost entry-level system to provide a configuration and price point for companies to do initial production qualification and new product introduction, enabling an easier transition to the FOX-XP for full production test. This new FOX-NP system is 100% compatible with the FOX-XP system and is configurable with up to two blades per system compared to up to 18 blades in the FOX-XP system.

“As we had discussed last quarter, many of our customers had substantial forecasts for bookings and shipments that we forecasted by the end of our fiscal year. We have seen push outs of orders for capacity increases from our installed base due to customer device delays that do not appear to be related to macro industry trends. We also believe some of our customers have taken a cautious stance which has impacted the timing of their orders to Aehr due to general market concerns and trade uncertainties between the US and China, as well as slow-downs in the mobile space that have been widely reported. Specifically, we are seeing orders that are delayed such that we will no longer be able to ship them within this current fiscal third quarter and/or our fiscal year.

“As a result of the current customer product delays and market conditions, as well as delays in expected orders, we are lowering our revenue guidance for fiscal 2019 from a range of $30 million to $35 million to a new range of $20 million to $25 million. However, we expect to see an improvement in bookings in our second half, with an increase in backlog heading into our fiscal 2020, which begins June 1, 2019.

“We believe that the long-term fundamentals for Aehr Test Systems have not changed. We continue to see an increase in semiconductor content in every part of life as well as an increased need for reliability, security, safety, and confidence in those semiconductors and electronic products. We also see the macro trend of semiconductor devices with heterogeneous integration or stacked die increasing the need for reliability and burn-in of devices before they are integrated or stacked into multi-die packages. Aehr Test’s unique products allow our customers to test and burn-in their devices with the 100% confidence and traceability which are needed to address the safety, security, and confidence for mission critical applications. We feel we are very well positioned to capitalize on these long-term market trends.”

Non-GAAP net (loss) income is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results.  Non-GAAP net (loss) income is a financial measure the Company uses to evaluate the underlying results and operating performance of the business.  The limitation of this measure is that it excludes items that impact the Company's current period net income.  This limitation is best addressed by using this measure in combination with net (loss) income (the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure).  These measures are not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from non-GAAP methods of accounting and reporting used by other companies. 

We believe these measures enhance investors’ ability to review the company’s business from the same perspective as the company’s management and facilitate comparisons of this period’s results with prior periods.

*VISCARIA UPDATE REGARDING FINANCING AND EXPECTED CLOSING*

*Copperstone Resources AB (“Copperstone” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a 5-year 25 MSEK credit facility. In addition a non-binding term sheet regarding a convertible debt facility of 100 MSEK has been signed with a US-based fund. Upon the convertible debt facility becoming binding and the first tranche of 22.5 MSEK has been paid out, closing of the Viscaria acquisition is anticipated to occur shortly thereafter. In total, up to 125 MSEK will thereby be secured to finance the further development of New Copperstone including Viscaria.*

Fenomena AB has agreed to a credit facility, for the Viscaria acquisition, of 25 MSEK at 5% annual interest rate to be amortized, no later than, at the earlier of First Copper from Viscaria or 10 January 2024.

Copperstone has also signed a non-binding term sheet regarding a convertible debt facility of 100 MSEK with a mid-tier US-based fund.  Main terms and conditions of the convertible debt facility are: The debt commitment is divided in tranches of maximum 20-22,5 MSEK. The convertible debt notes held by the fund can be converted to Copperstone B-shares. Further tranches, should Copperstone opt to, can be drawn once the former tranche has been converted into shares. The conversion price is defined as the lower of 1.6 SEK/share and 93% of the 15-day low volume weighted average price of Copperstone prior to conversion. The convertible debt facility is non-interest bearing, the called upon tranche of the convertible facility will instead be subject to a fee of 4.5 percent of the total nominal amount.

Subject to the signing of the final agreement the financing through the first tranche of 22.5 MSEK, together with the above mentioned credit facility, will suffice to Close the Viscaria acquisition.

“I am pleased to bring forward Fenomena AB, originating from my hometown of Haparanda, as anchor investor. The convertible debt financing will contribute to the closing as well as to necessary working capital in the future. Thanks to this, the Copperstone team spirit, Regin Corporate Finance and Sunstone’s shared vision of New Copperstone, we are hereby taking a giant leap towards closing of the Viscaria acquisition, the largest underground copper mine in northern Europe in the 1980’s, while at the same time limiting upfront shareholder dilution to an absolute minimum”, comments Michael Mattsson, CEO of Copperstone.

MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB) January 10, 2019

One year since his appointment, Hyde has overseen significant developments within the expanding rental program and the company’s growing, global footprint of network stations and drop points.

Hyde said: “My first year with Pelican BioThermal has been extremely positive with ongoing developments benefiting our global customers, who represent eight of the top 10 pharmaceutical manufacturers worldwide.

“Our growing footprint of network stations and drop points are planned to exceed 100 sites by early 2019, representing a significant investment to support the continuing worldwide growth within the pharmaceutical and biomedical industry,” Hyde continued. “We have been busy in 2018 signing multiple freight forwarders and integrators worldwide, increasing our convenience and flexibility for customers by selecting the best locations and organizations to speed the journey of their temperature controlled shipments around the globe."

· *On Wednesday, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars reported annual sales of 4,107 vehicles in 2018. It's the most in the ultra-luxury brand's 115-year history. *
· *This marks a 22% increase over the 3,362 cars sold by the BMW Group subsidiary in 2017. *
· *Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös attributes the growth to the arrival of the new eighth-generation flagship Phantom sedan.*

On Wednesday, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars reported annual sales of 4,107 vehicles in 2018. It's the most in the ultra-luxury brand's 115-year history. 

BMW Group's Goodwood, England-based subsidiary beat out the previous record of 4,063 cars set back in 2014. 

This marks a 22% increase over the 3,362 cars "commissioned" by the company's clients in 2017. 

Much of the growth was driven by the debut and production ramp-up of the eighth generation of the company's flagship Phantom sedan, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös told Business Insider in an interview on Wednesday. 

(Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is not affiliated with Rolls-Royce Holdings plc, which is an aviation engine maker and defense contractor.)

North America remains Rolls-Royce's largest market and accounts for roughly one-third of the company's total sales, Müller-Ötvös said. 

Europe and Asia each accounted for 20% of worldwide sales. China proved to be a particularly bright spot with a 40% surge in sales in 2018 on the back of strong Phantom and Ghost sedan sales, the CEO explained.

The UK also saw sales jump 10% in spite of economic and political instability. 

As for 2019, Müller-Ötvös expects Rolls-Royce to have another banner year with full-scale production of the new Cullinan SUV coming online.

According to the company's longtime CEO, the order backlog of the Cullinan has reached the third quarter of 2019 and will be the brand's best selling model.

ValvTechnologies, Inc., the global leader in the design and manufacturing of zero-leakage high-performance isolation valve solutions, is proud to announce its Nuclear Industry Director, Bill Henwood, will be a featured speaker at the 2019 Fluid Leak Management Users Group conference.

HOUSTON (PRWEB) January 10, 2019

The conference and expo event will bring air operated valve (AOV), motor operated valve (MOV), fluid leak management (FLMUG), boric acid and compressed air nuclear leaders together on January 14-18 at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort in Palm Desert, California. An assembly of respective program engineers, equipment reliability managers, procurement engineers and concerned industry leaders will share their expertise on key topics ranging from nuclear utility projects to the development of plant improvement programs and solutions implemented.

Henwood will present a case study focusing on the ongoing efforts at Sizewell B Nuclear Power Station to replace linear valve technology with quarter-turn isolation technology and the revenue generated from these efforts.

"Members of the nuclear community will gain insight into how they can effectively implement a similar program resulting in megawatt recovery, vastly improved safety of plant personnel, the elimination of costly spare parts, valves, maintenance and warranty claims. It is also timely with respect to the Nuclear Promise”, Henwood said.

· *NZD/USD has been consolidating a touch above the pivot around 0.6780 and below the 200-4 hr SMA that is tucked in just below the prior day's highs of 0.6813.***
· *In early Asia, NZD/USD is currently trading at 0.6781, with the price capped by the 200-D SMA as bulls struggle to make further headway following a bullish start to the year. *

NZD/USD is ending the first full week of 2019 on a positive note, having climbed back from the flash crash lows and carried the bullish sentiment towards the 0.68 handle as markets position for a far slower pace of rate hikes from the Fed. However, as analysts at ANZ Bank explained, the bird is facing a tug of war:



"The kiwi is facing a tug of war, with a more dovish Fed, slowing Chinese growth, trade developments and event risk all buffeting the NZD. We retain a medium-term downward bias but don’t expect the path to be straightforward from here."



Similarly, while the market is pricing out Fed hikes, what should be noted is that the markets are greatly more dovish than what the Fed appears to be and somewhat more pessimistic than the Fed's growth projections for the US economy. It is more the global economy that the Fed is concerned for and the implications for the US economy down the line rather than the immediate future. There are plenty of risks offshore though, associated with world trade disputes as well as Brexit and poor economic growth outlooks on mainland Europe. Te wait and see approach from the Fed does not rule out rate hikes and it may not take much to tip the balance should something flare up overseas, supporting the safe haven and yield case for the dollar once again.
