U.S. Geothermal Shareholders Upset Over Merger Bid - (via NewsPoints Desk)
January 24, 2018
Tags: NewsPoints U.S. Geothermal Ormat United States Corporate Affairs Mergers &
Acquisitions
A group of U.S. Geothermal Inc. shareholders are attempting
to block the $110 million purchase of the company by Ormat Technologies Inc.
The shareholders allege that the purchase price of $5.45 per share is insufficient in light of the company's growth prospects, and that deal-protection clauses in the merger agreement preclude other
companies from submitting successful competing offers. Indeed the book value of the company alone is $5.42 per share. In addition, shareholders allege that senior management obtained personal benefits for their own self interests in agreeing to sell the company that are not being shared with common stockholders.
U.S. Geothermal did not immediately respond to requests for a comment.
To contact the law firm on behalf of shareholders of
U.S. Geothermal for more information as to how you can participate with other shareholders for a higher price at no cost or expense call toll free 800.511.7037 or contact@tripplevy.com
Bill Gates sees geothermal power as a key clean energy investment area of interest

Gee, that's swell, Bill, but the last time I heard from you you were pumping wind as a way better dilletante than solar. True enough but sometime weaklings that make grids as unsteady as a drunk trying to have just one more belt after the bar is closed are no solution.
Gates says, ”There is a phenomenal amount of energy stored up as heat under the Earth’s surface—many times more than we could get from all the known coal and oil reserves in the world."
A bit light on facts, Bill, but you are coming around. There is far more energy stored in our small sun in the center of the earth and more fuel available throughout the planet than all other sources on earth combined. We radiate more energy daily than all the energy we receive from the sun and it goes out every night, so to speak.
So how come it's taken so long for people to learn what B.C. McCabe tried to tell people when he started drilling in the 1950's and made America the greatest geothermal power on earth?
- People just don't hear good with their mouths wide open I reckon.
Hey, where is everybody?
Thanks, Bill Gates. Some will hear and get very rich like you and McCabe did.
Best, Terry
Thank you liggity. I apprecaite the information and chart. I guess the question now is "where will this go based on today's action and volume?" I'd like to see it fly back over .15 and even over .16 so I can continue to hold with a little confidence, but that seems to be the resistance right now. Your thoughts? I'm in big at .129
Bargain price. Add to my current holding
never mind i found the date...today
Expecting great news today and then on the CC
Insiders dont buy large quantities at .85 unless good things are in store...I think they called it aggressive growth...looking forward to the forward guidance
when is the 2nd qtr reporting date
Since 10 days there is no further buying activity by JCP.
Seems 15.4% is what they were ordered to do.
Technically this stock is cooling down.
This stock is ready to leg up to a new high. EMA 50-200 shows the pattern you need to follow.
Going on record guys...the insider buy was tooooo big....looking to break .90 then 1.00...this buy 7/14 was tooooo big imo for something not to materialize...something good.....imo
as i said...as it breaks .90 the draw will be to move htm over 1.00....if institutions and fund managers see potential at the over 1.00 mark then who knows where we go from there...i would say it will depend on potential projects coming online. That insider purchase was a huge vote of confidence...now lets see what happens as we break .90 and then see what happens as htm draws attention from the huge insider buy....
No doubt they are buying for clients.
Just my guess ... JCP is probably ordered to buy this stock but not with their own capital.
What motivate JCP to own so much in such a short period ?
Look at the recent filings ... 15.4% and that is a fact!
No crystal ball available. Therefore have a close contact to indicators which are no insurance but a good safeguarding when fundamentals are missing or unchanged.
Yeah you are right. Most indicators say it's over bought but it can still have an up trend. Do you think tomorrow the stock with drop to .80 or later on in the week?
What do you think others will think when you just wrote messages like this "JCP now holds over 23% " and couldn't provide your source of knowledge? ... Do your homework!
Have a look for RSI and (all) stochastic indicators in a daily and weekly chart. I wouldn't be surprised to see a kind of drop before further run up.
there was heavy buying going on wednesday for sure so i assume that was them buying...i'd be surprised if htm doesn't break 1.00 now

There's the link for 10%
But they keep adding on. I was reading another article that said they are more then 10% but I can't find it right now. How are they too hot?
Please show me where you get this number from.
HTM starts more and more to come into the phase of beeing too hot from technical indicators.
Very strong insider buying in HTM....Dollar store coming
Outstanding. All this little guy needed was time.
Hi Frankie,
Any idea about JCP acctivities and strong buying by end of Friday session and after hours?
Basically Q2 is the weakest quarter per yearbut someone is believing in the opposite way, isn't it?
The whole market is taking an afternoon dive.
I think it could use a little more volume. But not complaining here. Still I think they are a few years out until they are providing the capacity to overshadow the operating expenses. We will see how maintenance cost rise as the equipment ages.
It takes one day to digest before we see any buying
Strong balance sheet however and very liquid
Its flat. did not make anything per share this time around. It is going to take them time to equal the megawatts of one nuclear plant.
Also look at the operating expenses this time around. I think it will be another year or two before they are really poised to take off. They have to keep up increasing megawatt output.
But at least they can project revenue. That is a big plus.
10-Q filed. $100MM in equity with increasing sales!!!
Great question ...
What about this?

When is the earning report ?
HTM insider buying at this price range. On watch
JCP bought yesterday 4,000,000 shares for 0.7497 each ...
See latest Amended Statement of Beneficial Ownership (sc 13d/a)
How does that fit to business of HTM?

You mean April 2008?!
Since that SP has been fallen and find its bottom so far and is slowly increasing.
Go back with this stock. Way back in post. Find when I was banging the table. When this stock changed symbol letters. When it went Amex. Look at the share price. You might find the progression interesting.
Hi Frankie,
Sounds you're not that happy to be it.
I guess HTM is getting more attention within common months.
JCP is buying more and more and BOD is converting options for .67$ actually. When HTM will meet just of their short term catalysts this stock is able to burst 1.00$ again and this time for longer term.
Have a nice Sunday!
I became the mod accidentally... i was the mod originally when no one even followed this stock. and left... then one day i accidentally hit the mod request button and low and behold a mod again.
I do not really need nor want it.
Who of the MOD's here is able to update the front page of this thread?
Any thoughts about JCP buying acctivities with regards to latest form 13 filing?
