STAMFORD, Conn. and HOUSTON, Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — First Reserve Fund XIV, L.P. (“First Reserve”) announced today that its affiliate, FR Utility Services Merger Sub, Inc. (“Purchaser”), has commenced the previously announced cash tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of The Goldfield Corporation (NYSE American: GV) (“Goldfield”) at a price of $7.00 per share, net to the seller in cash without interest and less applicable withholding taxes. The tender offer is being made pursuant to the merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) announced by First Reserve and Goldfield on November 24, 2020, under which Purchaser will acquire Goldfield in a transaction valued at approximately $194 million. Purchaser and its parent company, FR Utility Services, Inc. (“Parent”), are wholly owned subsidiaries of First Reserve.

The $7.00 per share all-cash tender offer represents a premium of approximately 57 percent to the 30-day volume-weighted average price of $4.46 as of November 23, 2020, as well as a premium of approximately 64 percent over Goldfield’s closing share price on November 23, 2020, the last trading day before announcement of the Merger Agreement, and is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, dated December 1, 2020.

A tender offer statement on Schedule TO that includes the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal that set forth the terms and conditions of the tender offer will be filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Purchaser. Additionally, Goldfield will file a solicitation/recommendation statement on Schedule 14D-9 that includes the recommendation of Goldfield’s board of directors that Goldfield stockholders tender their shares in the tender offer.

The tender offer will expire on December 29, 2020, at 11:59 P.M., New York City time, unless the tender offer is extended in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The completion of the tender offer is conditioned upon, among other things, Goldfield’s stockholders tendering at least a majority of Goldfield’s outstanding shares, expiration or termination of any waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976 and other customary closing conditions.

If, as a result of the tender offer, the Purchaser holds shares that represent at least one share more than 50% of all the issued and outstanding shares of Goldfield’s common stock, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser will, as soon as is practicable, merge with and into Goldfield, with Goldfield continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, under Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, without prior notice to, or any action by, any other stockholder of Goldfield. Upon completion of the transaction Goldfield will cease to be a publicly traded company.

DALLAS, Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Jacobs (NYSE:J) was appointed by Pulau Indah Power Plant Sdn Bhd (PIPP) to deliver owner’s engineer services for the development of a 1,200 megawatt (MW) Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) situated on Pulau Indah in Klang, Malaysia.

The award follows a recent announcement confirming Jacobs as the owner’s engineer for a 100 megawatt alternative current solar plant in Pekan, Malaysia. The two projects put Jacobs and its clients at the forefront of new generation capacity in South-East Asia as the region moves towards a low-carbon future.

“This project is another opportunity for Jacobs to support Malaysia’s major power development projects and their continued focus on low-carbon and renewable energy,” said Jacobs People & Places Solutions Executive Vice President Patrick Hill. “Gas generation is more efficient and produces less emissions than other fossil fuels and is an interim step in our energy transition towards a zero-carbon future. Gas can replace aging baseload generation with a lower carbon supply until emerging technologies capable of delivering clean, reliable baseload power, such as hydrogen, become feasible.”

The project will deliver a 1,200 MW combined cycle gas turbine plant to improve baseload supply for the region. When complete, it will provide high efficiency, low carbon power to the central region of peninsular Malaysia, including in Klang, Kuala Langat and Sepang districts where there is high demand for electricity. The new plant is expected to help attract new industrial development investments, stimulate economic activity and create new employment opportunities in the region.

As owner’s engineer, Jacobs will provide technical advisory services through to financial close, design review, construction monitoring, project management, attendance at factory testing and warranty support. Commercial operation is currently slated for January 2024. Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) will purchase the power generated from the new power plant through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

“The power plant will use HA turbine technology, the world’s most innovative turbine with advanced materials, cooling, aerodynamics, combustion and digital capability,” said PIPP Managing Director Datuk Seri Gan Seong Liam. “It is a clean energy alternative, that emits lower levels of emissions and produces less greenhouse gases. We look forward to the successful completion of this ground-breaking project leveraging off Jacobs power experience in Malaysia and across the South East Asia region.”

PIPP is a consortium of three companies: Maxim Global Berhad (formerly known as Tadmax Resources Berhad), Worldwide Holdings Berhad and Korea Electric Power Corporation.

At Jacobs, we’re challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world’s most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good. With approximately $14 billion in revenue and a talent force of more than 55,000, Jacobs provides a full spectrum of professional services including consulting, technical, scientific and project delivery for the government and private sector.

HOUSTON, Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Howard Hughes Corporation^® (NYSE: HHC) announced today the appointment of a new executive leadership team that will lead the continued growth of the company’s acclaimed national portfolio of master planned communities (MPCs) and small cities. The company’s Interim CEO, David R. O’Reilly, has been named Chief Executive Officer, and L. Jay Cross, the former President of Related Hudson Yards, has joined the company as its new President. Both appointments are effective immediately.

Mr. O’Reilly has most recently served as the company’s Interim CEO; President and Chief Financial Officer. Promoted to President in June of this year, he joined The Howard Hughes Corporation in 2016 as the CFO, and will continue in that role while a search is conducted for a permanent successor.

“For more than four years, the Board has had the opportunity to work closely alongside David O’Reilly,” said Bill Ackman, Chairman of HHC. “Watching him execute on the company’s strategic plan and pivot quickly to adjust to changed market conditions furthered our confidence in him as our new leader. David is highly respected by our employees, customers, and shareholders. That made it an easy decision for the Board to select him as our CEO. When Jay approached the company about his interest in joining HHC, we knew that his partnership with David would create a superb team to lead Howard Hughes into the future.”

As the architect and leader of the company’s 2019 Transformation Plan, Mr. O’Reilly realized meaningful reductions in overhead, executed on the sale of non-core assets, and refocused the company on its highly profitable MPCs. He also successfully completed an equity raise and bond offering, further diversifying HHC’s funding sources and increasing its liquidity to enable the company to pursue value-creating opportunities in a challenging environment.

“It is an exciting time for me to become the CEO of The Howard Hughes Corporation,” said Mr. O’Reilly. “Our acclaimed master planned communities are well positioned to realize significant growth from both new residents and corporations seeking walkable communities in natural settings with expansive open green space and sought-after urban amenities. Our MPCs offer the highest-quality live/work/play lifestyle that people and companies desire today. I look forward to partnering with Jay as we continue to drive the success of the extraordinary communities in our portfolio and tenaciously pursue every opportunity to unlock the value inherent in our assets.”

The appointment of L. Jay Cross as the new President of The Howard Hughes Corporation bolsters the company’s executive leadership team with an industry veteran who brings a proven track record of delivering large-scale, mixed-use projects that are proven catalysts for urban transformation and community development.

With decades of experience in the real estate industry and with professional sports franchises, Mr. Cross joins The Howard Hughes Corporation following his role as President of Related Hudson Yards. In that role, he led the ultimate development of the $20 billion, 28-acre megaproject that has redefined the west side of Manhattan—including the development of 11 million square feet of mixed-use commercial, residential, retail, and entertainment space, along with seven acres of open public space featuring the acclaimed Heatherwick-designed Vessel. Previously, Mr. Cross served as President of the New York Jets and was the driving force behind the development of the $1.3 billion MetLife Stadium, the team’s joint venture with the New York Giants.

“We are extremely fortunate that Jay is joining The Howard Hughes Corporation as its new President,” said Mr. Ackman. “Jay’s extraordinary development career is perfectly matched with HHC’s vision to accelerate strategic development in its master planned communities, and build the cities of tomorrow. Jay is a fantastic addition to our executive leadership team. With David and Jay at the helm, we are ideally positioned to fulfill our vision for HHC’s growth.”

Prior to his work in the New York region, Mr. Cross served as President of Business Operations for the NBA’s Miami Heat and was responsible for the development of the America Airlines Arena. This $213 million waterfront project included the creation of a public-private partnership between the team and Miami-Dade County, as well as a pioneering development program for urban amenities surrounding the arena, driving the revitalization of downtown Miami. Previously, he oversaw the development of Toronto’s$265 million Air Canada Centre through a complex rezoning process. The innovative dual-sport complex is home to the NBA’s Toronto Raptors and the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, and is located on one of the finest arena sites in North America, in the heart of Toronto’s downtown.

“I look forward to joining David in leading The Howard Hughes Corporation and pursuing the unique opportunities that come with developing some of our country’s most-acclaimed master planned communities and mixed-use small cities,” said Mr. Cross. “HHC is a one-of-a-kind real estate company, and we will work to drive the sustainable growth of our exceptional assets and create thriving walkable urban centers that will define our communities for decades to come.”

The donation is part of several initiatives Corby Spirit and Wine is undertaking during the holiday period to help service industry professionals during what is normally the busiest time of year

TORONTO, Dec. 1, 2020 /CNW/ – Corby Spirit and Wine today announced a $100,000 donation to the Bartenders Benevolent Fund in support of service industry professionals impacted by COVID-19 restrictions this holiday season. As the largest corporate donor to the Bartenders Benevolent Fund, the contribution is part of a wider commitment to the service industry made by the Canadian hospitality industry leader, and its partner Pernod Ricard USA across North America.  

Since March, more than 800,000 bartenders, servers, hosts and kitchen staff in Canada have experienced financial hardship from loss of employment, a decrease or complete loss of wages, and temporary lay-offs. To help Canadians get through this period, Corby Spirit and Wine has already undertaken several initiatives in support of affected groups and to protect those on the front lines working to control the spread of the virus. This latest donation acknowledges the continuing responsibility of the wine and spirits industry to help bartenders and others in the industry affected by the pandemic.  

“While we prioritize responsible drinking for the holiday season, this year we are expanding our definition of ‘responsibility’ to include our duty to support the professionals who need it most. Hospitality and foodservice workers from across Canada are the lifeblood of our industry, and as a spirits and wine leader, it’s our duty to support the communities that are most important to us,” said Nicolas Krantz, President, Chief Executive Officer of Corby Spirit and Wine. “That’s why we’re proud to be making today’s donation, and to embark on several further initiatives designed to support those in need during what is traditionally the highlight of the hospitality calendar.”

The donation to the Bartenders Benevolent Fund will be allocated via the non-profit’s COVID-19 Support Fund to hospitality industry professionals facing financial crisis due to the pandemic. Allocated based on need, the fund is open to workers from across Canada and is anticipated to benefit a minimum of 400 bartenders.

“Our community of Canadian bartenders and hospitality workers, many of whom are already struggling with long-term loss of income, are facing a daunting holiday season” said Kelsey Ramage, Toronto-based hospitality industry manager and bartender. “This donation and Corby’s continued support are a welcome boost to us at a critical time.”  

Corby Spirit and Wine is also working with prominent bartenders from across Canada to create a coffee table book of more than 100 cocktail recipes and stories from Canadian bars and restaurants. All proceeds from the sales of A Toast from Coast to Coast will also go to the Bartenders Benevolent Fund & Canadian Professional Bartenders Association.

In addition, this December, Corby Spirit and Wine will take part in a further range of digital activations across the country, part of its wider efforts to support and give back to the service industry at this time of year.  

The organization encourages consumers to remember their bartenders this holiday season and consider making their own contributions.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — QuickLogic Corporation (NASDAQ: QUIK), a developer of ultra-low power multi-core voice-enabled SoCs, embedded FPGA IP, and Endpoint AI solutions, today announced that it has joined forces with SensiML™ to spearhead an initiative to aid in the creation of new and innovative technological solutions to the global climate change crisis.

The initiative entails the co-sponsorship of the Climate Change Challenge, a contest through the Avnet Hackster.io online community, which has over 1.5M members across 150 countries. Contributors can use the ultra-low power EOS™ S3 on QuickLogic’s open source QuickFeather development board and the SensiML Analytics Toolkit to develop their best intelligent IoT ideas to help address climate change. They can then submit their projects to the highly qualified panel of judges for evaluation and become eligible for prizes for winning submissions.

The problem of climate change is well known for its potential to globally impact human civilization as well as the natural environment. From weather events, to agriculture, to water supplies, to health and safety – climate change touches on nearly all aspects of our daily lives.  Technical innovation can play a critical role in slowing and ultimately stemming this tide – that’s why QuickLogic and SensiML created this challenge. By providing silicon, software, and development boards as part of an open source environment and delivering those to the development community at large, the companies are offering their technology to the thousands of engineers who have ideas that can help.

The QuickFeather Development Kit is an ideal platform, which together with the SensiML toolkit, enables developers to add AI and Machine Learning (ML) capabilities to endpoint IoT applications quickly. The kit features the QuickFeather board with a small form factor board powered by QuickLogic’s EOS™ S3, the first FPGA-enabled Arm Cortex®-M4F MCU to be fully supported by the Zephyr RTOS. Unlike other development kits that are based on proprietary hardware and software tools, QuickFeather is based on open source hardware, which is compatible with the Adafruit Feather form factor and is built around 100% open source software (including the SymbiFlow FPGA tools, and Renode emulation environment.)

The SensiML Analytics Toolkit is integrated with the QuickFeather Development Kit and adds the capability for designers to create “smart” IoT applications using AI and AutoML technology. The SensiML tools make it easy to add sophisticated AI for low-power processors and MCUs without requiring major compute resources or cloud connectivity, making it the perfect development tool for smart endpoint IoT applications.
