BlueCity pledges donation towards HIV prevention ahead of World AIDS Day, following brand’s pioneering work in the field

Funds will support relevant non-profit organizations in community outreach and overall development, with a focus on young people

BEIJING, Nov. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BlueCity, a world-leading LGBTQ community platform providing a full suite of services to foster connections and enhance the well-being of the LGBTQ community, has pledged to donate one million yuan (nearly 152,300 USD) to further carry out HIV-prevention education and control in the lead-up to World AIDS Day.

Supporting non-profits in HIV awareness and prevention

The funds will be used to support the HIV prevention work of prospective non-profit organizations in their community outreach and capacity building. The brand will also actively seek applications and provide grants for programs focusing on HIV prevention among young people, according to Baoli Ma, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of BlueCity.

“2020 is an exceptional year that requires us to give each other stronger support. As such, we launched the initiative to partner with and support like-minded people and organizations in delivering HIV prevention and awareness-building that is comprehensive, scientific and efficient,” said Ma at “AIDS-free Generation,” an annual event co-organized by the Chinese Foundation for the Prevention of STD and AIDS (CFPSA) and Danlan Public Interest Fund.

“We will also bring our services to more overseas users and work together with international and regional partners as the world is working together to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030,” said Ma, referring to the UNAIDS framework.

A 2019 report from China’s National Center for AIDS/STD Control and Prevention reported 16,000 newly discovered cases of HIV/AIDS in 2018 among young people aged 15-24. Among them, more than 3,000 cases were young students.

Pioneering and facilitating HIV prevention and testing in China and beyond

Since the founding of Danlan Public Interest in 2008, BlueCity has pioneered the concept of “Internet + HIV prevention” in China, which essentially integrates online and offline HIV prevention efforts. Empowered by the technologies and large user base of its platform, this concept was further expanded with the launch of the Blued app in 2012.

In cooperation with community partners throughout China, Danlan Public Interest, the corporate social responsibility arm of BlueCity focused on HIV prevention, has amassed a network comprising nearly 7,000 testing locations across the country, which users can search for on Blued, BlueCity’s mobile app. Users can even make appointments directly with 224 testing centers in 32 Chinese cities, providing them with discrete, stress-free services during times of concern for their health.

Danlan Public Interest has also established four HIV testing centers in collaboration with centers for disease control and prevention in Beijing, which offered some 16,376 free HIV tests during 2018 and 2019.

In addition, HIV-prevention related content on Blued, consisting of messaging on the app’s splash screen, direct messages and live-streaming, had an accumulated audience of 325 million as of June 2020.

Partnered with CFPSA, BlueCity also established and provided the initial funding used by Danlan Public Interest Fund in August 2019 to strengthen HIV prevention efforts among China’s youth. This is the first such fund under CFPSA, and a promising milestone for BlueCity’s overall corporate social responsibility efforts.

With more than half of Blued’s 6.4 million monthly active users hailing from markets outside China, the brand has also worked with local governments or health institutions in markets including Brazil, India, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Thailand, and Vietnam to facilitate HIV testing, prevention and education.

In addition to sharing “Internet + HIV prevention” best practices and experience at both the 2016 and 2020 International AIDS Conference, BlueCity has also worked with a wide range of governmental, academia and corporate partners to conduct HIV-related research and studies. Since 2016, the brand has co-published 17 research papers in renowned academic journals, including Lancet Infectious Disease.

ALPHA ENERGY, INC. Prepares to Pursue Uplisting to Major Exchange.

HOUSTON, Nov. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alpha Energy, Inc. (OTC.PK – APHE) (“Alpha”) announced all hurdles are cleared prior to it pursuing an uplisting to a major exchange.

On November 20, 2020, Alpha Energy submitted its 10Q for the third quarter of 2020.  With the filing of our first and second quarter Qs earlier this month, this brings the company back into fully-reporting status.  The delay in the process was brought about when our previous auditor came under censure by the SEC for issues unrelated to Alpha (see press release 7/22/20).  This necessitated that we find a new auditor and, as a precautionary measure, re-do our audits for 2018 and 2019.

In the face of headwinds brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian-Saudi Arabian price war, Alpha brought on Mr. Jay Leaver as president in June 2020.  Mr. Leaver is a geologist and explorationist with over thirty years’ experience in the petroleum industry.  The management team at Alpha secured new contracts over the development projects in Oklahoma evaluated earlier in 2019 and extended its contracts over its exploration projects in Texas and New Mexico.  Recognizing the changed market conditions, the new contracts (previously announced in press releases on 7/15/20, 7/20/20, and 9/25/20) represent a substantial discount to the amounts originally agreed to under the outdated and lapsed contracts.  Alpha also earlier received an independent engineering report on the three projects, certified under GAAP standards, in January of this year.  Pricing was $55.85/bbl for oil and $2.58/mcf for gas, so not reflective of current pricing but within certain analyst’s expectations for 2021.  Net reserves for all three development projects are 2.8 million barrels of oil and 8.8 bcf of gas.  Management believes that the reserve potential in some of these projects is much higher than can be considered proved or probable under GAAP standards.  Additionally, the development projects are each capable of producing oil and gas at low operating costs, allowing Alpha to be profitable even at significantly lower oil prices than in today’s market.  This will allow Alpha the flexibility to drill if pricing permits or stand pat if market conditions so dictate.

Alpha is therefore now poised to begin its next phase of operations, with three development and two exploration projects under contract, including an 87.5% ownership of assets in Rogers County, Oklahoma that are already assigned to Alpha (press release 7/15/20).  Alpha has an independent engineering report on the three development projects. The company holds no reserve lending debt and is preparing to apply for uplisting to a major exchange (NYSE American) via a $15 million secondary offering.  Under the terms of the development project contracts and the Use of Proceeds stipulated in the secondary offering, Alpha will be acquiring 4.2 million BOE in reserves for $0.56 per BOE.

John Lepin, CFO of Alpha Energy, reflected on the bright future: “It has been tough sledding getting to this point, but with persistence and low overhead and the support of our investors we anticipate that 2021 will be a banner year for Alpha.”

Alpha Energy, Inc. is a Houston, Texas based, independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas. Additional information is available on the Company’s website at www.alpha-energy.us.

Safe Harbor

This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding Alpha Energy that are intended to be covered by the safe harbor “forward-looking statements” provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, based on Alpha’s current expectations and includes statements regarding acquisitions and divestitures, estimates of future production, future results of operations, quality and nature of the asset base, the assumptions upon which estimates are based and other expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, strategies or statements about future events or performance (often, but not always, using words such as “expects”, “projects”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “estimates”, “potential”, “possible”, “probable”, or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “will”, “should”, or “could” be taken, occur or be achieved). Statements concerning oil and gas reserves also may be deemed to be forward looking statements in that they reflect estimates based on certain assumptions that the resources involved can be economically exploited. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections that involve a number of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those, reflected in the statements. These risks include, but are not limited to: the risks of the oil and gas industry (for example, operational risks in exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; risks and uncertainties involving geology of oil and gas deposits; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to future production, costs and expenses; potential delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; uncertainties as to the availability and cost of financing; fluctuations in oil and gas prices; risks associated with derivative positions; inability to realize expected value from acquisitions, inability of our management team to execute its plans to meet its goals, shortages of drilling equipment, oil field personnel and services, unavailability of gathering systems, pipelines and processing facilities and the possibility that government policies may change or governmental approvals may be delayed or withheld. Additional information on these and other factors which could affect Alpha’s operations or financial results are included in Alpha’s other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from the projections in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the estimates and opinions of management at the time the statements are made. Alpha does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements should circumstances or management’s estimates or opinions change. Initial production rates are subject to decline over time and should not be regarded as reflective of sustained production levels.

Plug Power Raises Approximately $1B to Accelerate the First Nation-Wide Green Hydrogen Network

LATHAM, N.Y., Nov. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a leading provider of hydrogen engines and fueling solutions enabling e-mobility, has successfully completed one of the largest bought equity deal transactions in the broader clean-tech sector. This marks Plug Power’s largest capital raise in the Company’s history with approximately $1 billion of capital, bringing total cash post-closing balance to $1.7 billion. The capital raise uniquely positions Plug Power to execute and accelerate on its green hydrogen strategy as well as other strategic growth initiatives.

Plug Power recently announced its plans to build five regional green hydrogen facilities in the United States. The Company will continue to work with strategic partners, including Apex Clean Energy and Brookfield Renewable, to source low-cost renewable power. The combination of low-cost renewables, strong capital position, and in house electrolyzer and liquefaction technology all uniquely position Plug Power to build out this green hydrogen network. Furthermore, Plug Power has already become the largest user of liquid hydrogen with its internal demand increasing from current 40TPD (tons per day), to 100TPD by 2024.

The first two green hydrogen plants are expected to be operational in 2022. All five plants are expected to be operational by 2024, with a total capacity of 100TPD. This would constitute the country’s first nationwide green hydrogen network. The green hydrogen generated by this network will support the mission to decarbonize the broader transportation and logistics industries, a mission shared by both Plug Power and its customers. The Company’s unmatched industry position as a total solutions provider will also help facilitate the anticipated rapid growth of the hydrogen economy. According to consultancy McKinsey & Company, the global hydrogen economy could reach $2.5 trillion by 2050, representing 18% of the global energy demand.

“We are very pleased with the reception from the institutional investors and the market resulting in a meaningfully upsized capital raise. This ideally positions Plug Power to accelerate the growth of the green hydrogen economy in the United States and globally, a job we wholeheartedly accept,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug Power. “Green hydrogen provides one of the lowest carbon emission solutions from a wells-to-wheels perspective serving a variety of different industries.”

“We have identified several locations working with strategic partners where we can produce green hydrogen at parity with grey hydrogen and see further opportunities to reduce the cost of green hydrogen. Furthermore, this recently completed capital raise and in house capabilities ideally positions us to accelerate the build out of this green hydrogen network,” said Sanjay Shrestha, Chief Strategy Officer and head of Plug Power’s green hydrogen generation business.
