Teleflex Signs Definitive Agreement to Sell Certain Respiratory Assets and Reaffirms Adjusted EPS Guidance

Total consideration is $286 million, reduced by $12 million of working capital to be retained by Teleflex

Assets to be divested generated $139M in 2020 revenue, with 2021 growth expected to be approximately flat

2021 headwinds are estimated at $28-32 million in revenue and $0.10-$0.15 in adjusted diluted earnings per share

Teleflex is maintaining its current 2021 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance range

WAYNE, Pa., May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX), a leading global provider for healthcare supplies and services, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell a significant portion of its Respiratory business to Medline Industries, Inc. (“Medline”) for $286 million in cash, reduced by $12 million in working capital not transferring to Medline. The Teleflex respiratory product lines that will be divested include oxygen and aerosol therapy, active humidification, non-invasive ventilation, and incentive spirometers, which generated $139 million in revenue in 2020. The transaction is expected to close early in the third quarter of 2021, subject to customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.

“Following a comprehensive review of our strategy and core capabilities, our Board of Directors and management team decided that divesting a significant portion of our Respiratory business will enable Teleflex to focus further on executing in our core market segments to drive long-term sustainable growth and increase shareholder value,” said Liam Kelly, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teleflex. “We expect the proceeds from the divestiture of this business, along with our ability to continue to generate cash from operations, to help us on our journey to execute our strategic plan.” In addition, Mr. Kelly noted, “Following a strong first quarter 2021 performance and the continued recovery in April as outlined on our first quarter 2021 earnings call, we feel confident in maintaining our 2021 full year adjusted earnings per share guidance range, even in light of the dilution from the sale of the respiratory assets. We look forward to providing a full financial update to investors on our second quarter 2021 earnings call. Importantly, this transaction is accretive to our pro-forma revenue growth profile, as well as adjusted gross and operating margins longer term.”

Financial Implications
In 2021, the respiratory product lines that will be divested were expected to generate net revenue approximately flat with the $139 million generated in 2020. Assuming a close to the transaction early in the third quarter of 2021, the company estimates a revenue headwind of $28-32 million and adjusted earnings per share dilution of $0.10-$0.15 in 2021 or approximately 1% of 2021 adjusted earnings per share, net of a manufacturing services agreement that we plan to enter into with Medline upon the initial closing of the sale transaction.

The Company intends to use the divestiture proceeds to pay down debt, augmenting its financial flexibility to support its growth strategy.

Advisors

Guggenheim Securities is acting as financial advisor to Teleflex and Holland & Knight LLP is serving as legal counsel.

Sidley Austin is serving as legal counsel for Medline.

CENTOGENE Appoints Michael Motz as Chief Commercial Officer, Pharmaceuticals

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and ROSTOCK, Germany and BERLIN, May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Centogene N.V. (Nasdaq: CNTG), a commercial-stage company focused on rare diseases that transforms real-world clinical and genetic data into actionable information for patients, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies, today announced the appointment of Dr. Michael Motz as Chief Commercial Officer, Pharmaceuticals, who will join the company on June 1, 2021.

Dr. Michael Motz is an entrepreneur and executive with over 25 years of industry experience and has held positions of increasing responsibility in both biotech and pharmaceutical companies during his career. He concluded several large transactions, licensing (in- and out-), and acquisitions with EU and U.S. based life science companies, on both the buy side and the sell side. His experiences have also allowed him to gain expert knowledge in drug discovery and development for rare diseases, such as lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) and certain rare bone disorders.

“Michael brings a rare blend of deal-making experience and scientific know-how to CENTOGENE´s executive leadership team. His proven track record of developing business strategies and forming successful partnerships to advance innovation in various disease areas is an ideal fit with CENTOGENE. Michael will be instrumental in harnessing CENTOGENE’s unique Bio/Databank to transform drug discovery and development for genetic hereditary diseases,” said Andrin Oswald, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of CENTOGENE.

Dr. Michael Motz holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, obtained under the supervision of renowned human geneticist Prof. Dr. h.c. Svante Pääbo.

“I am thrilled to be joining CENTOGENE and to be able to leverage the full capabilities of the Company’s powerful multiomics platform, with its unprecedented amount of data on rare diseases from patients. In addition to diagnostics, there is tremendous potential to support not only clinical trials in the field with its growing number of pharma partners, but also to apply forward integration of CENTOGENE´s own efforts towards drug discovery and development, based on the Company’s world-leading understanding of rare diseases,” stated Dr. Michael Motz.

About CENTOGENE

CENTOGENE engages in diagnosis and research around rare diseases transforming real-world clinical and genetic data into actionable information for patients, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies.

The Company’s platform includes epidemiologic, phenotypic, and genetic data that reflects a global population, and also a biobank of these patients’ blood samples. CENTOGENE believes this represents the only platform that comprehensively analyzes multi-level data to improve the understanding of rare hereditary diseases, which can aid in the identification of patients and improve our pharmaceutical partners’ ability to bring orphan drugs to the market. As of December 31, 2020, the Company collaborated with over 30 pharmaceutical partners.

Kronos Advanced Technologies Expands Footprint into India Opening a Marketing Office

Los Angeles, CA, May 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — KRONOS ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (OTC MARKETS: KNOS) (“KNOS” or the “Company”), an innovation-driven product development and production company that has significantly changed the way air is moved, filtered, and sterilized announced today that the company has opened and will staff an office in Odisha, India. The India office will be a strategic addition to our current offices in the USA and Israel.

When the first wave of the corona virus hit India in March 2020, the Indian Government announced a sweeping national lockdown hours before it went into effect, shutting state borders, suspending inter-state travel, halting businesses and requiring people to stay at home.

CNN reported today that “calls are growing for another nationwide India lockdown. Millions of Indians are living under a mix of locally imposed coronavirus restrictions as the central government resists calls from leading medical experts for a nationwide lockdown.

The Indian Medical Association earlier this month said a “complete, well-planned, pre-announced national lockdown” for 10 to 15 days would give the country’s overstretched health system time to “recoup and replenish both the material and manpower” it needs.

Top US coronavirus advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci on May 9 said of India: “You’ve got to shut down … you need to break the chain of transmission.”

The Company now markets Kronos patented air purifiers and other Covid related products in India. Also, Kronos will donate PPE and air purification devices to local hospitals though the Kronos Foundation- non-profit organization. Back in beginning on the Pandemic in 2020, Kronos donated its flagship air purifiers to a hospital in Wuhan, China and subsequently to public schools in the U.S.A.

The company is currently hiring India based employees, establishing the company’s first presence in Asia.

CNBC reported recently that the U.S. is giving India raw materials for vaccines, medical supplies to help fight the Covid-19 surge. The Biden administration said that it will immediately make raw materials needed for India’s coronavirus vaccine production available as the country works to counter the surge of Corona infections.

In recent weeks, India has grappled with a staggering rise in new coronavirus infections. Over the weekend, India set another global record for daily cases, bringing the nation’s cumulative total to 16,960,172 cases, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins.

“Just as India sent assistance to the United States as our hospitals were strained early in the pandemic, the United States is determined to help India in its time of need,” National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horne said in a statement on Sunday.

Horne added that the United States would send raw materials required for India to manufacture the Covishield vaccine, as well as therapeutics, rapid diagnostic test kits, ventilators and protective equipment. “The U.S. Development Finance Corporation is funding a substantial expansion of manufacturing capability for BioE, the vaccine manufacturer in India, enabling BioE to ramp up to produce at least 1 billion doses of Covid-19 vaccines by the end of 2022,” Horne wrote, adding that the U.S. would also send a team of public health advisors from the Center for Disease Control and USAID to India.

“We are small company but we want to help India in their time of great need,” said Michael Rubinov, Kronos President. “Our wide variety of products are ideal to dramatically reduce airborne transmission as well as monitor interactions and track exposure using our wearable Canario ™ bio-aerosol sensors.”

Kronos Advanced Technologies is offering a wide variety of uniquely patented lines of smart air purifiers for indoor use that removes 99.98% of all pollutants, including smoke, bacteria and viruses, but also does not require any filter replacements, making our air purifiers the lowest cost of ownership in the industry for comparable products. We also offer a personal air purifier for outdoor activity -FIT AIR and recently introduced Invisible e-Mask product (KRONOS – X3000)

Kronos products for safer indoor air quality include Model 3, Model 5 and Model 8 (also marketed as Airdog® products). Also, the Company offers a unique air purifier, Tesla Air, for car use.

 MODEL 5 (MSRP $649.00-on sale for $549.00): Ideal for rooms of up to 1400sq. ft. can disinfect and purify air space every hour (bedrooms, living rooms, etc.) This Model 5  is 26 (H) x 12 (L) x 12 (W) inches, weighs 28.9  pounds, and its power consumption is only 20-60 W (110/240v).

MODEL 8 (MSRP $1,199) ON SALE price $999.00: Ideal for large spaces up to 3000 sq. ft., (businesses, hospitals, schools, universities, hotels, restaurants, including residential spaces such as studio apartments, large living rooms, and home offices.) The MODEL 8 is 30″ (H) x 15″ (W) x 15″, weighs 43 pounds, and its power consumption is 110 W (110/240v). The Model 8 may well be the highest CADR among all air purifiers, including HEPA, and the lowest cost of ownership.

About Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc.

The Company was initially founded in 2002 and funded by the U.S. military to develop electrostatic air movers. Eventually, the Company moved into the consumer air purification business. It began operations as a product development company that invented and significantly changed the way air is moved, filtered, and sterilized. Historically, Kronos has focused on developing, marketing, and selling the Company’s proprietary air movement and purification technology. Serving the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) market, Kronos technology uses state-of-the-art high voltage patented processes without the use of traditional porous HEPA filters. Kronos-based products move air silently, filter, sterilize, and purify the air while dramatically reducing energy consumption to half of a 60-watt light bulb. Kronos devices can be variable in shape or size and, therefore, have the potential to be scaled-down for air purification in cars or scaled-up in size for industrial and hazardous gas destruction. The technology is currently being implemented in multiple standalone products for businesses, homes, and vehicles of all types -to move, sterilize and filter air, including removing allergens down to 14.6 nanometers, passing through our patented technology -replacing expensive outdated passive HEPA and other filtration type systems. There are broad ranges of additional markets for standalone and embedded Kronos CORE technology-based devices. Examples of immediately addressable markets include schools, universities, healthcare facilities, operating rooms, manufacturing clean rooms, and the cabins of automobiles and commercial aircraft.

Kronos is the first publicly traded Company that accepts DOGE coin as a form of payment for its products, as well as other cryptocurrencies.

Recently, the Company filed for a provisional patent involving an innovative protective face mask with antimicrobial and anti-cellphone radiation protection features. The Company is planning to file additional patents to improve its existing technology as well as enter into new market segments but will continue to market air purifiers and other consumer products. The Company is an exclusive distributor and licensee of the latest generation of air purifiers based on the Company’s CORE technologies. The Company markets its products as Airdog® and KRONOS® brands. All Kronos products come with Kronos Promise ™ -Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed!

Company offices are located in Los Angeles, California.

Synexis® and Trane® Expand Strategic Relationship

Biodefense company expands relationship with climate leader to generate growth and improve indoor air quality nationally

PR Newswire

LENEXA, Kan., May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Synexis® LLC today announced it is expanding its strategic relationship with Trane® – by Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT). As part of the expanded agreement, Trane has a non-controlling minority financial interest in Synexis LLC and will serve as the exclusive HVAC channel for the Synexis Dry Hydrogen Peroxide (DHP™) systems in the U.S. and Canada. The investment will help support commercial expansion efforts and accelerate product innovation as both companies work to improve indoor air quality across North America.

“Our customers count on Trane to bring indoor environmental quality solutions and strategies that deliver the best outcomes for their buildings and all the people inside,” said Donny Simmons, president, Commercial HVAC Americas for Trane Technologies. “We believe in Synexis and its differentiated technology aimed at reducing the risk of microbe spread in indoor environments. We’re proud to serve as the exclusive HVAC provider for Synexis solutions and bring this proven technology to more customers as they consider appropriate measures for healthier indoor spaces.”

Synexis’ market-leading DHP continuously reduces pathogens in the air and on surfaces.1

“Our expanded agreement with Trane, a market leader in indoor air quality, allows us to continue our data-driven approach and aligns Synexis with a valued leader in this space,” said Eric Schlote, chief executive officer (CEO) at Synexis. “Trane’s investment will help us continue to educate the market on the differentiation of our patented DHP technology and support our research and development efforts to advance new products over the next few years.”

DHP molecules travel throughout an enclosed space to actively reduce certain viruses, bacteria, mold, odors and many insects. Generated from ambient humidity and oxygen present in the environment, DHP can be delivered in occupied spaces at levels well below occupational airborne safety standards established by OSHA, which allows for continuous microbial reduction without disturbing normal operations and workflow.1,2 DHP goes wherever air goes, allowing it to treat hard-to-reach places.

Founded in 2008, Synexis LLC is a leader in microbial reduction and the sole developer of patented technology that creates and continuously disperses DHP (Dry Hydrogen Peroxide) to help reduce the presence of microbes in indoor, occupied spaces around the clock.1,3

BRAMPTON, ON, May 18, 2021 /CNW/ – (TSX: L): Loblaw Companies Limited (“Loblaw”), has released its 14th annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report, the most comprehensive public disclosure of its kind for a Canadian food retailer. In addition to highlighting the company’s efforts across its various environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities, the report outlines important progress on issues that matter most to Loblaw stakeholders, customers, and colleagues.

In a statement to shareholders, Loblaw’s Chairman and President, Galen G. Weston said the following:

“In spite of the many challenges of 2020, we made great progress on the items that matter most to our colleagues, customers and shareholders: We dramatically accelerated our reduction of food waste and carbon emissions; we helped formulate and introduce new global packaging standards to eliminate plastic waste; and we increased female representation in our executive ranks and succession pipelines, while expanding and improving our support for colleagues from diverse communities. 

All of these actions reflect our long-standing belief that businesses have both an opportunity and responsibility to have a positive effect in the communities they serve. A belief which has led Loblaw to consistently be at the forefront of tackling important issues. We are proud of our track record in CSR.

As a growing number of organizations and investors are seeing this imperative more clearly than ever before, new standards have emerged for how we report against them. That is why, in our latest report, we demonstrate clearer accountability by employing ESG reporting standards, in line with the Global Reporting Initiative, Sustainable Accounting Standards Board, and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

As we make headway in these areas, as well as in advancing our strategy and maintaining momentum in our core business, we are pleased with our progress and motivated by what is next.”

Among the highlights in Loblaw’s latest CSR report, various company achievements stand out:

  • The 2030 goal of reducing Loblaw’s carbon emissions from operations by 30 per cent has been achieved. The company has increased the goal to 50 per cent by 2030.
  • The 2025 goal of reducing food waste 50 per cent has been achieved.
  • Loblaw purchased enough local produce from Canadian suppliers in 2020 to achieve its 2025 goal of re-patriating $150 million of goods that would otherwise be purchased internationally.
  • In 2020, Loblaw helped create and became a founding member of the Canada Plastics Pact, which is part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s global Plastics Pact network. As part of its efforts to reduce plastic waste, over the previous year Loblaw eliminated 1.8 million plastic hangers, all individual plastic straws and stir sticks from in-store takeout counters and all single-use plastic items for food sampling in corporate stores. Loblaw has committed that all PC® plastic packaging will be either reusable or recyclable by 2025.
  • In 2020, Loblaw corporate and franchised stores donated more than five million kilograms of food to local food banks and food rescue agencies across Canada, including its most successful national holiday food drive campaign since its 2009 launch, raising $2.6 million and collecting 1.1 million kilograms of food for those in need.
