Vishay Intertechnology 600 V Standard and 60 V to 200 V TMBS® Rectifiers Deliver High Current Ratings to 9 A in DFN33A Package

Featuring Low 0.88 mm Profile and Wettable Flanks, Space-Saving Devices Provide Improved Thermal Performance and Efficiency

MALVERN, Pa., April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced 27 standard and Trench MOS Barrier Schottky (TMBS®) surface-mount rectifiers in the low profile DFN33A package with wettable flanks. Providing space-saving, high efficiency solutions for commercial, industrial, telecom, and automotive applications, the standard devices are the industry’s first in this package size and provide current ratings up to 6 A, while the TMBS devices deliver industry-best current ratings up to 9 A. Offering a wide range of voltage options from 60 V to 200 V for TMBS and up to 600 V for standard rectifiers, the devices are available in Automotive Grade, AEC-Q101 qualified versions.

The latest package in Vishay’s Power DFN family, the DFN33A features a compact 3.3 mm by 3.3 mm footprint and an extremely low typical height of 0.88 mm, allowing the Vishay General Semiconductor rectifiers released today to make more efficient use of PCB space. Compared to the conventional SMB (DO-214AA) and eSMP® series SMPA (DO-220AA), the package’s size is 44 % and 20 % smaller, respectively. In addition, the device’s low profile is 2.6x thinner than the SMB (DO-214AA) and SMC, and 7 % thinner than the SMPA (DO-220AA). At the same time, the rectifiers’ optimized copper mass design and advanced die placement technology allow for superior thermal performance that enables operation at higher current ratings.

The devices are intended for low voltage, high frequency inverters, DC/DC converters, freewheeling diodes, and polarity and rail to rail protection in hot swap circuits for baseband antennas and power over Ethernet (PoE) for switches, routers, and optical network equipment. For these applications, the rectifiers offer high temperature operation up to +175 °C, while their exceptionally low forward voltage drop and low leakage current enhance design efficiency. The wettable flanks of their DFN33A package allow for automatic optical inspection (AOI), eliminating the need for an X-ray inspection.

Ideal for automated placement, the rectifiers offer an MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of 260 °C. The devices are RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, and their matte tin-plated leads meet the JESD 201 class 2 whisker test.

Caesars Entertainment and AGS Expand Partnership to Bring Fan-Favorite Slot Titles Online for the First Time

Caesars Entertainment and AGS Expand Partnership to Bring Fan-Favorite Slot Titles Online for the First Time

Partnership expansion makes Caesars’ online casino platforms the exclusive first online home for the Triple Coin Treasures family of slots, introduces a Caesars-branded version of a classic AGS game, and paves the way for exciting new launches

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) (“Caesars”) today announced an expansion to its partnership with AGS (NYSE: AGS) making Caesars’ online casino platforms the exclusive first online home for the immensely popular Triple Coin Treasures® family of slot titles. This expansion includes a series of classic and new slot title launches across North America on Caesars Palace Online Casino, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, and Horseshoe Online Casino.

The first exclusive launch will introduce Shamrock Fortunes® to Caesars’ online casino players, bringing this beloved title that has long been enjoyed at Caesars Rewards® destinations in North America online for the first time. Additional launches later in 2025 will include another beloved Triple Coin Treasures classic, a unique Caesars-branded version of a title, along with never-before-played titles from AGS that will debut simultaneously at Caesars destinations and on Caesars’ marquee online casino platforms.

“We appreciate AGS’ confidence in our ability to transition their popular slot titles from casino floors to online platforms,” said Ricardo Cornejo Rivas, Vice President of Online Gaming at Caesars Digital. “This expanded partnership, featuring beloved in-person casino slots, custom-branded titles, and new, never-before-played games, underscores our commitment to providing an ever-evolving online casino experience. We’re proud to not only introduce new titles to our players but also to bring the classic titles they have enjoyed at our destinations directly to their mobile devices.”

This marks the second collaboration between Caesars and AGS on exclusive game launches for Caesars players, both in its brick-and-mortar casinos and online casino platforms. The first collaboration in 2024 featured the simultaneous launch of the popular title Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey® in New Jersey on Caesars Palace Online Casino and at Caesars Atlantic City, Tropicana Atlantic City, and Harrah’s Atlantic City.

“Our expanded partnership with Caesars is a major milestone in AGS’ interactive growth strategy,” said Zoe Ebling, Vice President of Interactive at AGS. “Bringing our proven titles, like Shamrock Fortunes, online for the first time allows us to reach players in a whole new way while honoring the retail roots of these games. We’re especially excited to co-develop a Caesars-branded version of one of our classic games and to continue building momentum with new launches that blend innovation, familiarity, and fun.”

Caesars and AGS will celebrate the rollout of these exclusive new games with special marketing promotions linked to each title and omnichannel events for Caesars Rewards VIPs at select Caesars Rewards destinations. Once live, each game will be available on Caesars’ premier online casino platforms including Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino.

Caesars’ online casino platforms are accessible on iOS, Android, and desktop for players aged 21 and older in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ontario, and West Virginia. These platforms deliver an elevated online casino experience, featuring exclusive Caesars-branded games, high limit slots, private live dealer tables, linked progressive jackpots, various poker and roulette variations, and much more.

Today, the Company’s commitment to ensuring all players are aware of Responsible Gaming resources remains steadfast and spans all of Caesars’ digital platforms and world-class destinations in which it operates. Caesars Entertainment proudly enforces an enhanced 21+ gaming policy that prevents individuals under the age of 21 from using Caesars Rewards and restricts access to its gaming products for individuals under the age of 21.

Comcast’s most recent expansion to Middletown is part of the company’s latest investment in Delaware, which also includes an expansion in Sussex County in partnership with the state of Delaware.

“Our latest investment in Middletown further expands our world-class network into this vibrant community, ensuring that all residents and businesses have access to cutting-edge technology,” said Dan Bonelli, Senior Vice President of Comcast’s Freedom Region. “With our advanced network, we’re proud to support in initiatives that will drive workforce development and digital opportunity for all.”

AmpliTech Group’s 5G Division Secures Company-Record Approx. US$11 Million Purchase Orders As Part Of A New Multi-Year LOI From Tier 1 North American MNO

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AmpliTech Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPG, AMPGW), a leading designer, developer, and manufacturer of advanced signal processing components for satellite, public and private 5G, and other communications networks, including full 5G/6G system design and global distribution of integrated circuit assembly packages and lids, today announced the receipt of company-record Purchase Orders valued at approximately US$11 million. These orders are part of a multi-year Letter of Intent (LOI) from a Tier 1 Mobile Network Operator (MNO) in North America, further solidifying AmpliTech’s position as a key provider of ORAN 5G radio solutions.

This new LOI follows closely on the heels of another major US$78 million LOI announced earlier this month, bringing the total value of signed LOIs with two leading ORAN 5G telecom customers, to over US$100 million. To date, AmpliTech has received approximately US$12 million in firm purchase orders under these agreements, all of these deliverable within FY2025.

“We are thrilled to announce this milestone achievement, which comes just weeks after our previous record-setting LOI,” said Fawad Maqbool, CEO/CTO of AmpliTech Group. “These ~US$11 million PO’s, a company record, not only affirms the commercial readiness of our 5G ORAN radios, but also reflects our emergence as a frontrunner in the global ORAN 5G marketplace. This new engagement with one of North America’s most prominent Tier 1 MNOs, recognized for its innovation and high-quality network services, highlights the demand for our differentiated ORAN 5G technology.”

Mr. Maqbool continued, “These back-to-back agreements mark a significant turning point for AmpliTech Group, as we execute on our strategy to expand our presence in the next-generation 5G ORAN telecom landscape. As these LOIs are fulfilled with additional purchase orders, they will pave the way for AmpliTech to become a dominant force in the delivery of high-performance ORAN 5G radio products.”

Looking forward, AmpliTech expects continued momentum in the 5G ORAN sector through deepening collaborations with these Tier 1 telecom partners. The confidence these companies have placed in AmpliTech’s advanced manufacturing capabilities and engineering excellence further underscores the company’s rising stature in the industry.

Jorge Flores, Chief Operating Officer of AmpliTech Group, added, “This is a defining moment for AmpliTech. These achievements lay the foundation for a transformative chapter in our growth, in addition to previously announced agreements, record breaking LOI’s now worth in excess of US$100 Million, we have now achieved an strategic validation of our 5G ORAN technology by getting orders from an established leading MNO in the telecom industry, we are certainly energized by the opportunities that lie ahead.”

Vista announces the acquisition of Petronas Argentina

PR Newswire


MEXICO CITY
, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Vista”) (NYSE: VIST in the New York Stock Exchange; BMV: VISTA in the Mexican Stock Exchange) announced today that its subsidiary Vista Energy Argentina S.A.U (“Vista Argentina”) has acquired 100% of the capital stock of Petronas E&P Argentina S.A. (“PEPASA”), which holds a 50% working interest in La Amarga Chica unconventional concession (“LACh”), located in Vaca Muerta, Argentina, from Petronas Carigali Canada B.V. and Petronas Carigali International E&P B.V. (jointly, the “Sellers”) (the “Transaction”). The purchase price is comprised of US$ 900 million in cash, US$ 300 million in deferred cash payments and 7,297,507 American Depositary Shares representing Vista’s series A shares (“ADSs”) paid to the Sellers and subject to lock-up restrictions that will expire (i) with respect to 50% of the ADSs on October 15, 2025, and (ii) with respect to the remaining 50% of the ADSs on April 15, 2026. The deferred cash payments will be paid 50% on April 15, 2029, and 50% on April 15, 2030, without accruing interest.

LACh spans across 46,594 acres in the black oil window of Vaca Muerta. As of December 31, 2024, it had 247 wells on production. In addition, as of December 31, 2023, LACh had 280 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMboe”) of P1 reserves according to the Argentine Secretary of Energy (at 100% working interest). During the fourth quarter of 2024, LACh produced 79,543 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“boe/d”) at 100% working interest, of which 71,471 barrels per day (“bbl/d”) were oil, according to the Argentine Secretary of Energy. Vista estimates LACh could potentially hold 400 new well locations to be drilled in its inventory (at 100% working interest). The remaining 50% of LACh is held by YPF S.A. (“YPF”), which is the operator of the concession.

Miguel Galuccio, Vista’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “With this acquisition we gain significant scale in Vaca Muerta with a premium block that has growing production and low operating costs, enabling the acceleration of our long-term plan and strengthening our free-cashflow profile. The acquisition both increases our profitability and enhances our portfolio of ready-to-drill locations in the core area of Vaca Muerta. Importantly, in the current global macro and oil price environment we are consolidating a high-margin, low-breakeven asset, with strong synergies with our ongoing operation, reflecting our constructive long-term view on crude oil demand and supply dynamics. I firmly believe this represents a unique opportunity to create long-term value for our shareholders.”

Transaction highlights

  • Highly accretive acquisition for our shareholders, comparing implied EV/EBITDA, EV/flowing barrels, EV/P1 reserves and price-to-earnings (P/E) metrics to Vista metrics;
  • Low-cost, high-margin, high-return, cashflow-generating asset, as LACh’s lifting cost, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Return on Average Capital Employed are in line with Vista’s operating and financial metrics for the year 2024, whilst supporting our path to positive free-cashflow generation;
  • Increased scale, as Vista consolidates through PEPASA an oil and gas production volume that is approximately 47% of its Q4-24 production, leading to a pro forma total production of 125,048 boe/d for Q4-24;
  • Portfolio enhancement, with an estimated inventory of 200 ready-to-drill wells at Vista’s 50% working interest in the core of Vaca Muerta, and geographically located next to Vista’s development hub;
  • Operating synergies based on the proximity of LACh to Vista’s development hub, which could translate into potential savings related to sharing surface facilities, optimizing well placement close to the limits between LACh and Vista’s development hub, streamlining new well design and sharing general services;
  • Significant oil midstream capacity is consolidated through the acquisition, as PEPASA has approximately 57,000 bbl/d transportation capacity and 48,000 bbl/d export dispatch capacity in several key midstream projects.

In order to carry out the Transaction, own funds and funds from the Transaction financing were used, consisting of a credit agreement between Vista Argentina as borrower and Banco Santander, S.A. as lender, for a total amount of US$ 300 million. This credit agreement has a term of four years.
