CHERRY HILL, N.J., Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank^®, announced today that for the fourth year in a row, TD ranked No. 1 in total number of approved U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loan units in its Maine-to-Florida footprint for the SBA’s 2020 fiscal year, supporting more than 1,500 businesses through two SBA lending products: 7(a) and 504 loans.

TD also secured the top ranking in total amount of 504 dollars (approximately $146 million) in its footprint. Despite the challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, TD remained committed to SBA lending and ranked in the top four nationally after lending $370.1 million and approving a total of 1,560 SBA 7(a) and 504 loans combined.

In addition to SBA 7(a) and 504 loans, TD Bank is proud to have provided approximately 86,000 Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans for more than $8.7 billion in funding from April through August as part of the special SBA program established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The bank was a leader in PPP, placing sixth nationwide in loan value and volume. 

“This year has been turbulent for small businesses due to COVID-19 and our team approached these challenges head-on by using our status as an SBA Preferred Lender to offer not only financial relief through PPP loans but to continue to provide critical 7(a) and 504 SBA loans,” said Chris Giamo, Head of Commercial Bank, TD Bank. “TD recognizes the important role small businesses play in our local communities and the economy and we support these companies with needed funding in both good and challenging times.”

SBA lending services remained a priority in 2020

As a result of COVID-19, thousands of businesses sought additional funding through SBA programs such as 504 and 7(a) loans. However, due to the economic impact of the pandemic, many organizations are more focused on keeping their doors open than strategic growth priorities, which led to the enormous number of PPP loans.

“Along with providing 7(a) and 504 offerings, the bank worked around the clock for months to process PPP loans and approved more than 25 times the number of SBA loans than we approve in a typical year,” said Tom Pretty, Head of SBA Lending, TD Bank. “TD Bank and our SBA Lending Group are proud to stand by our small business customers to provide important lending services, including more 7(a) loans than any other bank in our footprint, and financial relief offerings to help them reemerge from the pandemic in a position of strength.”

TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank, is one of the 10 largest banks in the U.S., providing more than 9.5 million customers with a full range of retail, small business and commercial banking products and services at more than 1,220 convenient locations throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Metro D.C., the Carolinas and Florida.

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – HeadsUp Entertainment International Inc. (Pinksheets: HDUP.PK) is pleased to announce that Doug Wilson has been named the new President and CEO.  Doug has operated firms in various technology sectors for over 3 decades and has provided expertise to several of these internationally. Doug consults to several other business entities including a land asset firm as well as private equity interests primarily focused on digital media, gaming and charity sectors.  “I look forward to the challenge of leading HeadsUp into the new era of digital gaming as the new landscape for North American and global licensing is quickly opening up billion-dollar markets” stated Mr Wilson.

Doug joins previously announced lottery icon Mark Hutchinson to the management team and additional members of the gaming, broadcasting, entertainment, and interactive technology sectors will be announced next as part of the firms new strategic Advisory Board.  Both Doug and Mark will also be nominated for addition to the Board of Directors.

Since the last announcement of the joint venture marketing agreement with LOTIX, HeadsUp has moved forward with the integration of their Pay App® E-wallet. Powered by PlayPay™, the Pay App® digital payment system is what would allow HeadsUp’s sportsbook players to store funds, make bets, receive winnings and track payments all via the mobile E-wallet. Payment processing is one of the key customer integration tools for the evolving gaming sectors; this integration, therefore, gives HeadsUp a strong competitive advantage for customer acquisition and retention in emerging markets.

Through the LOTIX partnership, HeadsUp is navigating through the licensing process in numerous states as they are soon to fire up the first US go to market initiatives for both an online sports book and gaming operations as well as a possible land-based casino acquisition led by LOTIX CEO Bil Liu.

HeadsUp is holding a Special Shareholders Meeting next Monday November 23^rd which has been organized to move the company forward with compliance strategies as direction of the new management team is to build the company asset base, revenues and continue to build shareholder value. 

As Canadian shareholders have been unable to trade the stock due to a cease trade order issued by the Alberta Securities Commission in 2013, previous management engaged auditors to bring the company filings current and as of Friday have posted all financial statements as required by OTC Markets to become current in the US, however the fully audited statements required by the Canadian regulators necessitate an audit of the share capitalization table from the inception of the Company for the past 17 years which is an onerous, time consuming and very expensive process.  The new Management Team has identified and is pursuing other options to create immediate and short term liquidity for Canadian shareholders and is actively pursuing those strategies which coincide with the corporate road map for growth and up-listing to a higher tier exchange. Management will be reporting further on that at the Special Shareholders Meeting next week.

Since joining the HeadsUp management team Mark Hutchinson has brought forward multiple opportunities to the Company to go to market in the charity fundraising, gaming, lottery and 50/50 sectors. The company is currently negotiating multiple contracts directly from his leadership in his business development capacity.  HeadsUp is planning to make a series of announcements soon that will result in a direct path to revenue from these negotiations.

Last Thursday HeadsUp, through its Digital Marketing Team in Toronto, invested over $30,000 and launched a major online advertising campaign for player acquisition as part of its Affiliate Marketing Agreement with VIP Entertainment announced in the last press release.  As previously stated HeadsUp terminated the LOI to acquire shares of VIP after Gaming Counsel advised that owning shares in a grey market sports book operation could cause HeadsUp to not be approved as a regulated sports book operator in the US and Canada which is the primary new initiative of the Company.  It was agreed that the new agreement was the most strategic move to generate immediate revenues.

“We are building a solid foundation to grow HeadsUp into a leader in the media and gaming business” commented new CEO Doug Wilson, “and I look forward to sharing more of the new business plan concepts supported by market compliance, obtaining new gaming and broadcast licenses never before offered and going to market with the best interactive platforms that technology has to offer.”

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Nov. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Autodesk University – This week, Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) welcomes innovators from around the world – designers, engineers, builders and creators – for the company’s first digital conference experience: Autodesk University (AU) 2020. This multi-day, interactive event takes place Tuesday, November 17 – Friday, November 20, 2020 and encourages attendees to join Autodesk in reimagining what’s possible across the industries of construction, manufacturing, architecture, engineering and media creation.

While Autodesk’s annual AU conferences have historically taken place in person across the globe, this year’s shift to a digital platform is in response to the significant challenges caused by COVID-19. This virtual experience allows attendees to explore new ways of imagining, designing and making while also prioritizing the ongoing health and safety of the Autodesk community.

“Autodesk University always provides a great opportunity for us to engage with customers and partners, and even though AU 2020 will be our first completely digital AU experience, this year is no exception,” said Lisa Campbell, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President of Business Strategy and Marketing at Autodesk. “This digital shift creates the opportunity to virtually connect and learn from each other in completely new ways. Solving problems and driving innovation across our industries is what our extended community does best and I’m excited to reimagine what’s possible together, no matter where you are in the world.”

Day One of AU 2020 kicks off with eight hours of continuous live broadcasted programming. First up is the general session from Autodesk President and CEO Andrew Anagnost, joined by customers BDP Engineering Principal James Hepburn, Decathlon Advanced Design Project Leader Charles Cambianica, as well as LAIKA Studios VFX Supervisor Steve Emerson. Together, they will explore the evolving ways industries have embraced technology throughout 2020, as well as the role that data, automation and insight play in empowering innovators to achieve a new possible moving forward.

Additional AU 2020 Day One programming includes three industry-specific keynotes about how Autodesk technology empowers the workforce to sustainably thrive in our ever-changing world.

During the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) keynote, Autodesk leadership and Norconsult Technology Manager Marius Jablonskis will explore the significant changes the industry has seen in 2020, as well as how teams are leveraging technology to turn these challenges into opportunities and remain resilient. Next, Autodesk will be joined by Hyundai Vice President and New Horizons Studio Founding Director John Suh to discuss the adoption of technologies such as generative design in the design and manufacturing (D&M) industry, as well as strategies for continued digital transformation moving forward. Finally, attendees will hear from Autodesk leaders and LAIKA Studios VFX Supervisor Steve Emerson on how Autodesk’s latest media and entertainment (M&E) technology helps coordinate and customize processes and forge scalable connections between teams, studios and ecosystems enabled by cloud-based, data-driven solutions.

The digital conference continues through Friday, November 20 with three days of classes, roundtables, panels, industry meetings and more. If attendees are not able to tune in for the live broadcast of AU 2020 programming, the sessions, events and activities will be made available for on-demand viewing.

Autodesk has also digitally transformed the AU Expo for attendees to virtually explore from the comfort of their own homes. Accessible 24/7 during AU and open for a total of 30 days, this year’s Expo experience will showcase over 100 solution providers and innovative technologies propelling the AEC, D&M and M&E industries forward. AU attendees can visit intuitive, user-friendly virtual booth spaces to view videos, download relevant materials, attend demos and connect directly with experts to learn more.

Autodesk continues to shape a thriving future in partnership with entrepreneurs and innovators that create a positive and sustainable impact. Throughout AU 2020, the Autodesk Foundation will match up to $50,000 in total donations to two such organizations: Splash and MASS Design Group. Splash provides safe water, sanitation and hygiene solutions for children in vulnerable communities impacted by the global pandemic. MASS Design is a nonprofit design collective on a mission to research, build and advocate for architecture centered in justice and human dignity.

For the sixth consecutive year, AU will be a Carbon Neutral event – a sustainability effort reinforced and expanded by Autodesk’s commitment to net zero carbon in 2020 across our operational and value chain by adding our carbon price and investing in efficiency, renewables and carbon offset projects with customers. In addition, the virtual format of this year’s event reinforces Autodesk’s commitment to sustainable operations minimizing the need to measure, reduce and offset the carbon footprint created by a traditional in-person event.

Additional information about AU 2020 announcements, initiatives and developments can be found on the Autodesk blog, ADSK News, beginning November 17, 2020.
