Volcon, Inc. Announces Improved Debt Position and Strategic Cost Reduction

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Volcon Inc. (NASDAQ: VLCN), (“Volcon” or the “Company”), the first all-electric, off-road powersports company, announced on September 14, 2023 that it has agreed with its convertible noteholders to modify the terms of its convertible notes and implemented cost reduction strategies to provide the Company greater flexibility as it pushes toward the introduction of the first of its UTV models, the Stag, which the Company expects to begin delivering in October 2023.

The Company entered into a note amendment with its convertible noteholders pursuant to which the lenders agreed to, among other changes, extend the maturity of the outstanding convertible notes from February 24, 2024 to January 31, 2025 and modify certain covenants to allow the Company to execute its business strategy as it works toward the launch of the Stag. The amendment is subject to completion of a security agreement establishing a security interest in the assets of the Company for the benefit of the noteholders. “We appreciate the support of our noteholders in making these amendments in order to give us the flexibility to raise capital to support the launch of the Stag and the growth of our business,” said Jordan Davis, CEO. Davis continued, “With our Stag launch closing in, our ability to obtain funding to support manufacturing and to market the Stag to the public to generate consumer demand are key factors to our success.”

The Company recently implemented further cost reduction initiatives and is continuing to evaluate its cost structure to identify incremental savings. Davis notes, “We continue to build upon our previously announced cost reduction measures, such as closing manufacturing operations in favor of outsourced production and reducing headcount in various areas of the Company to support our vehicle development strategy.”

In addition, the Company has reduced cash expenses by agreeing to eliminate cash bonuses payable to the Company’s officers in favor of stock awards and the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer have voluntarily agreed to reduce their salaries by 10%. The Company’s board of directors has also agreed that all future quarterly board cash fees will be payable in the form of stock awards as well. Davis notes, “The Management Team and the Board know how important the Stag is to our Company, and we recognize we need to personally support the cash reduction initiatives to ensure our success.”

On September 13, 2023, the Company announced additional trim packages and pricing for the Stag. The initial response by existing reservation holders who made deposits and viewed new trim level selections has been positive. The Company continues to follow up with all pre-order reservation holders to make sure they are aware of the trim package options and answer any questions they may have. The Company also realized new customer preorders which further supports the Stag product line and the future of EV in powersports. The Company has two consumer lending firms providing financing to consumers, Synchrony Bank and Octane Roadrunner Financial, which can be found on Volcon.com or by contacting Volcon dealers for more information.

In addition, the Company’s sales team is connecting with dealers and distributors to place pre-orders. The overwhelming majority of dealers are committed to selling Volcon products and are excited that the Stag is finally coming to market. The Company is also working with a finance company to obtain a facility that will allow the Company to place Stags with dealers for small cash outlays allowing the Company to generate cash to reinvest in additional dealer placements. This facility will allow dealers to finance their Stag purchases.

About Volcon

Based in the Austin, Texas area, Volcon was founded as the first all-electric powersports company producing high-quality and sustainable electric vehicles for the outdoor community. Volcon electric vehicles are the future of off-roading, not only because of their environmental benefits, but also because of their near silent operation, which allows for a more immersive outdoor experience.

Volcon’s 2023 vehicle roadmap includes both motorcycles and UTVs hitting the market in North America. Its first product, the innovative Grunt, has been shipping to customers since late 2021 and combines a fat-tired physique with high-torque electric power and a near-silent drive train. Volcon just announced the launch of the Grunt EVO, an evolution of the original Grunt with a belt drive, an improved suspension and seat. Volcon also just announced the launch of the Runt LT, which is a fun-sized version of the groundbreaking Grunt, is better suited for small statured riders, more compact properties and trails, or as a pit bike at race events, while still delivering robust off-road capabilities. The Brat is Volcon’s first foray into the wildly popular eBike market for both on road and off-road riding and is currently being delivered to dealers across North America. Volcon is also launched and is currently delivering the Volcon Youth Line of dirt bikes for younger riders between the ages of 4 to 11. Volcon recently launched the Stag and entered the rapidly expanding UTV market. The Stag empowers the driver to explore the outdoors in a new and unique way that gas-powered UTVs cannot. The Stag offers the same thrilling performance of a standard UTV without the noise (or pollution), allowing the driver to explore the outdoors with all their senses.

Kineta Announces New Research Agreement to Evaluate VISTA Biomarker Expression

SEATTLE, Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kineta, Inc. (Nasdaq: KA), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel immunotherapies in oncology that address cancer immune resistance, announced today a research agreement with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center to evaluate VISTA expression as a potential biomarker in cancer patients from Kineta’s ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating KVA12123, the company’s VISTA blocking immunotherapy, alone and in combination with pembrolizumab.

The primary objective is to evaluate VISTA as a biomarker to guide patient selection and treatment optimization for VISTA-targeted therapies where no standardized scoring method currently exists. Similar to standards established for PD-L1 immune checkpoint, there is a need to quantify VISTA expression in the tumor microenvironment (TME) to properly guide patient selection.

“We are excited to work with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and tap into their cancer pathology expertise as we advance the clinical development of KVA12123,” said Thierry Guillaudeux, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Kineta. “VISTA expression has the potential to be a clinically relevant biomarker that we can use to inform our Phase 2 clinical study design with KVA12123 and ultimately predict positive anti-tumor responses to treatment.”

VISTA is a negative immune checkpoint that suppresses T cell function in a variety of solid tumors. High VISTA expression in tumor correlates with poor survival in cancer patients and has been associated with a lack of response to other immune checkpoint inhibitors. Blocking VISTA induces an efficient polyfunctional immune response to address immunosuppression and drives anti-tumor responses.

KVA12123 is a fully human engineered IgG1 monoclonal antibody that was designed to bind to VISTA through a unique epitope at both physiologic and acidic pH levels. KVA12123 may be an effective immunotherapy for many types of cancer including NSCLC (lung), colorectal, renal cell carcinoma, head and neck, and ovarian. Initial clinical data from Kineta’s ongoing Phase 1/2 study of KVA12123 in advanced solid tumors is anticipated by end of 2023.

About Kineta

Kineta (Nasdaq: KA) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company with a mission to develop next-generation immunotherapies that transform patients’ lives. Kineta has leveraged its expertise in innate immunity and is focused on discovering and developing potentially differentiated immunotherapies that address the major challenges with current cancer therapy. The company’s immuno-oncology pipeline includes KVA12123, a novel VISTA blocking immunotherapy currently in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors, and a preclinical monoclonal antibody targeting CD27.

    PIDC is Philadelphia’s public-private economic development corporation. It is a nonprofit joint venture between the City of Philadelphia and the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1958.

It is through partnerships such as WSFS and the trusted brand of the Red Cross that this site will help grow blood donors in Delaware and in turn help to save more lives. Our Delaware focus includes the need to grow more African American and Latino blood donors to help our sickle cell clients receive the best matches possible to ensure a higher quality of life.”

“WSFS has been a tremendous partner for CCSA,” said Chris Hanlon, Executive Director at CCSA. “The support of this grant will play a critical role in supporting our math intervention initiative that is aimed at preparing our students for a variety of rewarding careers when they graduate. Our school community is incredibly grateful to have WSFS as a partner who truly cares about the students we serve in Chester.”

“New Leash is honored to partner with the WSFS CARES Foundation in investing in the extraordinary potential of justice-involved people and rescue dogs,” said Marian V. Marchese, Founder & CEO of New Leash on Life USA. “With the support of the WSFS CARES Foundation, our human and canine participants can grow, learn, and succeed, which leads to a healthy, thriving community.”

as Electric Vehicle Market Continues to Expand Globally

Miami Beach, Fla., Sept. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK) (“Blink”), a global leading manufacturer, owner, operator and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today announced the Blink Board of Directors has approved changes made to Blink’s executive leadership team with the appointment of Michael Battaglia, (formerly Chief Revenue Officer) as Chief Operations Officer; Jim Nemec, (formerly VP Sales and Business Development) as Chief Revenue Officer; and Siddhartha Kodgi, (formerly Sr. Director Operations) as Vice President of Operations. The Company also announced the departure of Mark Pastrone from his role as Chief Operations Officer.

Following its record Q2 earnings announcement of nearly $33 million, the strongest in Company history, Blink will continue to focus on enhancing and building upon its strong synergies following the acquisition of six companies over the last three years. Blink will remain committed to driving cost efficiencies, revenue generation, in-house production, customer service enhancements, and market share gains.

“These are exciting times for Blink and the industry, and these leadership moves will enable the Company to continue its steady growth as we tap into the expertise and skill sets of these seasoned professionals. We are saddened to see Mark leave the Company following his long career within our industry, and we thank him for his contributions and the positive impact he has had,” said Brendan Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blink Charging. “We are proud to have Mike, Jim and Siddhartha lead our efforts delivering exceptional customer experiences and increased productivity for Blink.”

Mr. Jones continued, “Together, this formidable team helps solidify us as one company, provides bottom line savings and is dedicated to building a vertically integrated EV infrastructure, globally.”

Mr. Battaglia previously served as Blink’s Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) since December 2022 and will assume the position of Chief Operations Officer (COO), succeeding the outgoing Pastrone. Moving forward, Mr. Battaglia will oversee Blink’s sales, business development and all aspects of operations, playing a vital role in the Company’s expansion in the U.S. and globally. Prior to joining Blink, Mr. Battaglia served as Vice President of Sales at JD Power.

“I am honored to take on this new role during a time of significant growth for Blink. There is great opportunity for the Company, and I look forward to working with my colleagues around the world to help bring Blink to the next level of excellence in the EV charging market,” said Battaglia. “I remain hyper-focused and committed to optimizing Blink’s operations, and to produce quality charging equipment and providing a best-in-class customer experience.”

Mr. Nemec has served as Vice President of Sales and Business Development for Blink since 2022, increasing revenues and building strong relationships in both the private and public sectors. He previously served as Director of Channel & Government Sales for SemaConnect, which was acquired by Blink in 2022. In his new capacity, Mr. Nemec will oversee Blink’s global sales organization, develop go-to-market strategies, and identify global expansion opportunities.

“Blink has been a leader in the industry, and I’m excited to have this opportunity to lead and advance our mission and bring Blink to the next stage of growth. Having worked side-by-side with Mike and Siddhartha, I look forward to continuing our team’s success and developing new markets as we advance electrification around the world,” said Nemec.

Mr. Kodgi has served as Sr. Director of Operations since 2022, following Blink’s acquisition of SemaConnect, where he had served since 2015. Prior to the acquisition, Mr. Kodgi was responsible for managing field services, design services, production, and supply chain for SemaConnect.

“I look forward to applying my passion for technology, scaling operations and driving efficiencies in this new role and to working with my colleagues to continue to lead the industry in EV charging solutions,” commented Kodgi.

Mr. Pastrone has served as COO for Blink since December 2022, following its acquisition of SemaConnect and has played a key role in building synergies and operational efficiencies for customer service, installation operations, and charger production. Prior to his role at SemaConnect, Pastrone worked in the aerospace industry, and led the development of several commercial space ventures at Orbital Sciences Corporation including GeoEye, which was acquired by Maxar.

Battaglia, Nemec and Kodgi are part of an accomplished executive management team, comprised of an unparalleled group of industry experts at all levels of management throughout the Blink organization. The industry as a whole will benefit from the amassed talent that includes Blink’s President and CEO, Brendan Jones and a former EV executive at Nissan, Electrify America and Evgo, along with Ritsaart Van Montfrans, Blink Director and the former owner and CEO of New Motion; and Harjinder Bhade, Blink CTO and a founder of ChargePoint. This dynamic team of EV industry leaders, along with the highly experienced Blink senior management, position Blink as a formidable provider of EV solutions and establishes Blink as a leader in the industry.
