Greenshift Corporation (GERS)

Valero is not a defendant. IF Valero is in the fold (becoming a royalty paying client of GERS) as a result (directly or indirectly) of the settlement(s) then at least $56,000,000 in yearly revenue for GERS is on the table ($700,000,000 x 0.8 x .10 [assumed royalty fee]).
GreenShift has invented, patented and commercialized a process to recover Corn Oil from the low value evaporator concentrate stream within a corn ethanol facility. The technology generally has less than a 12-month payback, has been adopted by more than 80% of the corn-based dry mill ethanol industry and collectively produces more than $700 million per year in additional income or about 14 cents of value added for each bushel of corn processed. This is the most significant advancement the industry has ever seen.
