PHOENIX , Jan. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Alpine 4 Technologies, Ltd. , a U.S based holding company, with a portfolio of unique companies in manufacturing, construction services and high-tech, today announced an equity purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (LPC), a Chicago-based institutional investor for up to $10 million over the next 36 months.
Upon entering into the agreement, LPC purchased $250,000 of Alpine 4's(ALPP) common stock and Alpine 4(ALPP) will have the option but not the obligation to sell to LPC up to an aggregate of $10 million in shares of common stock over a 36-month period contingent and commencing upon the effectiveness an S1 registration statement and satisfaction of other conditions contained in the agreement.
Kent Wilson CEO of Alpine 4(ALPP) had this to say: "As we began our search for the right capital partner we wanted to ensure that we were not only accessing capital that met our cost of capital needs, but also finding a firm that has the desire to take longer term positions in Alpine 4. Under this financing agreement Alpine 4(ALPP) can opportunistically access capital at our option under favorable terms to advance our business objectives and help in the reduction of our debt burden."
Under the terms of the common stock purchase agreement and once a registration statement relating to the transaction is declared effective, Alpine 4(ALPP) will control the timing and amount of any future sales of shares of common stock to LPC. LPC has no right to require any sales by Alpine 4(ALPP) under the agreement but is obligated to make purchases according to Alpine 4's(ALPP) direction, as governed by the agreement. There are no upper limits to the price LPC may pay to purchase common stock from Alpine 4(ALPP) and the purchase price of the shares will be based on the prevailing market prices of Alpine 4(ALPP) 's shares at the time of each sale to LPC. LPC has agreed not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of Alpine 4's(ALPP) shares of common stock. There are no limitations on the use of proceeds, and there are no rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the purchase agreement. In consideration for entering into the purchase agreement, Alpine 4(ALPP) has issued shares of common stock to LPC as a commitment fee. Alpine 4(ALPP) maintains the right to terminate the common stock purchase agreement at any time, at its discretion, without any additional cost or penalty. A description of the common stock purchase agreement and related registration rights agreement is set forth in Alpine 4's(ALPP) Current Report on Form 8-K filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
CEO - of highest caliber & integrity
Took shares instead of a 1 year cash salary
And he donated some of his shares to a Kids Charity.
(as Envy pointed out)
This form 4 shows two things:
1. Kent (the CEO) cares about the company and shareholders and therefore agreed to take shares in lieu of cash.
2. Kent has a vested interest in the successful uplisting of ALPP, and the overall success of the company.
That says it all.

The living wills -- they are technically called "resolution plans" -- are the most straightforward manifestation of the regulators' post-crisis efforts to make sure that no bank is too big to fail any more. Each bank has to file a resolution plan explaining how it could be resolved in bankruptcy with a minimum of disruption to the financial system.
On Wednesday, the Fed and FDIC found that seven of the eight biggest banks had submitted resolution plans that were "not credible or would not facilitate an orderly resolution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code."

14:517 ET - SunEdison(SUNE) crumbles to a 2 1/2-year low following its 3Q report amid questions about whether the solar developer can rebuild itself into a profitable business from a money-losing enterprise which went into debt acquiring rivals earlier this year. SUNE's spinoffs also have had troubles, also dragging on the parent. Terraform Power(TERP) and Terraform Global(GLBL) were created as a way to boost profits on renewable-energy projects, but as investors have lowered their expectations for the firms, their sliding stock prices have created bigger problems for SUNE. Investors have become more cautious of renewable-energy developers and their products amid concerns about declining government subsidies and uneven execution and results. SUNE falls 23%, TERP slides 19% and GLBL--which went public in July and has lost half its value--drops 4.5%.

"Drillers Unleash ‘Super-Size’ Natural Gas Output
Applying newer fracking methods to existing field offers potential for more and cheaper fuel"
The Wall Street Journal
By Russell Gold
Sept. 1, 2015 1:19 p.m.
The U.S. may have even more—and much cheaper to get—supplies of natural gas than anyone imagined.
Experimental wells in Louisiana by explorers including Comstock Resources Inc. and Chesapeake Energy Inc. are proving highly profitable even at today’s bargain-basement prices because of the sheer volume of fossil fuels that can be coaxed out of the ground.
The trick is applying supersize versions of the horizontal-drilling and fracking techniques that worked successfully elsewhere to an area that hasn’t seen this approach yet. The gains come from extending the lateral portions of wells by thousands of feet and pumping them full of enormous volumes of sand, chemicals and water to flush out more hydrocarbons.
So far, the impressive results have been confined to a small area in a single Louisiana parish near the Texas border. But if the approach works across the giant Haynesville Shale, which spans 120 miles across both states, the era of low American gas prices could extend for decades into the future, experts say.
“There’s a large likelihood that the United States will be enjoying very low gas prices for a very long time, maybe 20 years,” said Mark Papa, who has monitored Haynesville developments as a partner at Riverstone Holdings LLC, one of the biggest energy-focused private-equity firms in the U.S.
The field produces 8% of the nation’s natural gas, making it the second largest after the giant Marcellus Shale in the Northeast. Because it is located in Louisiana, near several interstate pipelines, potential export facilities and industrial consumers, an increase in gas production in the Haynesville has an outsize impact on gas prices across the entire country.
The cost of natural gas matters because the fuel increasingly powers the U.S. economy and is critical to the Obama administration’s push to reduce carbon emissions in electricity generation. American gas consumption has risen at a 2.4% annual growth rate for the past decade, while demand for coal has fallen by 2.7% and oil by 0.7%, according to the federal Energy Information Administration. Gas now is used to generate about 30% of U.S. electricity and heat nearly half of all American homes.
Domestic natural gas is abundant and inexpensive, largely due to the newer drilling and extraction techniques that came into widespread use a decade ago.
The Haynesville Shale was a popular location for energy companies to drill in 2007 and 2008, when U.S. gas prices briefly topped $13 a million British thermal units. Local governments in Louisiana, flush with tax receipts, handed out bonuses to employees and built new high-school football fields.
But the region’s gas was buried in deep, hot rocks, making it expensive to produce. When gas prices fell to below $4 a BTU in 2009, drilling rigs moved elsewhere. Some went in search of oil in North Dakota and Texas; others went northward to Pennsylvania, where the gas-rich Marcellus Shale was less costly to produce.
But a few companies never left and kept drilling a handful of wells each year. Recently, Comstock, Chesapeake and closely-held Vine Oil & Gas LP drilled Haynesville wells that suggest the gas is economic to exploit at today’s lower prices.
Last month, Comstock officials told investors that it could get a 30% return on its new wells even with gas at $2.50 a million BTUs. The Frisco, Texas-based company plans to drill more wells in Louisiana’s Haynesville than it will in the oily Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas.
Comstock shares have tripled since it released news of its new Haynesville wells. “It was a bold move to return to the Haynesville and I know there were a lot of doubters out there,” Kim Pacanovksy, an equity researcher at Imperial Capital LLC, said on an investor call with Comstock management, “but you’re starting to see dividends now, so congratulations.”
‘A brilliant example of how the cost of supply continues to come down.’
—Robert Clarke, Wood Mackenzie research director
Chesapeake’s management also is heralding its Haynesville results. Similar to Comstock, the company is drilling gas wells with longer horizontal legs and using more sand and water to crack open the rocks. “Applying this technique has really doubled the area that we can drill in the Haynesville, Jason Pigott, a Chesapeake executive vice president, told investors.
The costs to hydraulically fracture wells, the process of pumping water, sand and chemicals into the ground under high pressure to force out the fossil fuels, have fallen in the past year. This is particularly evident in the Haynesville, which the U.S. government classifies it as the second-largest gas deposit in America behind the Marcellus.
“This is a brilliant example of how the cost of supply continues to come down,” says Robert Clarke, a research director at Wood Mackenzie, an energy consultant. Newer Haynesville wells are producing more gas, are larger and are being drilled more quickly, he said.
Mr. Clarke cautioned that these experimental lower-cost wells have been drilled in a relatively small area of the Haynesville and by a small number of companies.
Mr. Papa, the former CEO of EOG Resources, said abundant, inexpensive gas will have a profound impact on power generation markets and the overall economy. “The power of the natural gas story on the U.S. economy is still underrated,” he said.

As stated in a recent Popular Science article,
iTraq has the benefit of being useful worldwide, since it relies on the common GSM cellular networking standard. It doesn't matter which GSM providers own the towers; iTraq can scan any and all of them, in the same way that your laptop or smartphone can "see" all available Wi-Fi networks, even if you can't join them. That means pretty much anywhere there's cell phone service, the iTraq can locate itself. So next time you're headed out for an international trip, you can slap one of these on your luggage and make sure your suitcase doesn't leave the airport without you...

Amedica Corporation Provides Update on FDA Questions and Femoral Head Testing Protocol Feedback
SALT LAKE CITY, July 07, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amedica Corporation (AMDA), a company that develops and commercializes silicon nitride ceramics as a biomaterial platform, today announced that responses to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) inquiries regarding the Company’s cervical composite silicon nitride interbody device were submitted to the FDA on June 30, 2015. Additionally, the Company has received feedback from the FDA regarding its wear testing femoral head protocols.
Submission for 510(k) clearance of the Valeo C Interbody with CsC Osteo-Conductive Scaffolding ("Valeo C CsC"), which was submitted in the first quarter of 2015, relates to the Company’s CASCADE clinical trial of its composite silicon nitride spinal interbody devices. Since submission, the Company received a list of questions from the FDA requesting additional information pertaining to the product’s clinical performance data, as well as indications for use and device description. The Company has responded to the questions and now awaits clearance of the Class II medical device for commercial distribution or additional communication from the FDA.
“After successfully completing an important surveillance audit with no non-conformities being identified, we’ve submitted responses to the FDA questions regarding our composite silicon nitride device,” said Dr. Sonny Bal, chairman and CEO of Amedica Corporation. “Our submission starts the clock once again with the FDA, and we remain hopeful for a final response during the third quarter of this year. As sales momentum of this unique device continues to build in Europe, we look forward to beginning domestic shipments as soon as we achieve clearance.”
“We also received very constructive feedback on our proposed wear testing protocol and have a clearer understanding of the pathway to market for our silicon nitride femoral heads in the U.S.,” continued Dr. Bal. “The comments by the FDA will ensure that the testing of our material, as compared to other ceramic predicate devices on the market, will meet or exceed existing testing standards. Silicon nitride is the toughest, most fracture resistant, chemically stable bioceramic available today. We look forward to a direct comparison to all other femoral head materials, which is slated to begin later this year, to confirm our claim that silicon nitride is the ideal biomaterial of choice.”
About Amedica Corporation
Amedica is focused on the development and application of medical-grade silicon nitride ceramics. Amedica markets spinal fusion products and is developing a new generation of wear- and corrosion-resistant implant components for hip and knee arthroplasty. The Company manufactures its products in its ISO 13485 certified manufacturing facility and through its partnership with Kyocera, one of the world's largest ceramic manufacturers. Amedica's spine products are FDA-cleared, CE-marked, and are currently marketed in the U.S. and select markets in Europe and South America through its distributor network and its growing OEM partnerships.

hi all-inn, here is an update from Roman:
Dear iTraq Tag Supporter!
Thank you for being such a loyal supporter of iTraq. We’ve been very busy these past few months getting your iTraq Tag ready for you and are excited to be able to provide this update.
The most important news is that both the hardware and the software parts of the project are on track. I visited our hardware manufacturer in China last month to ensure that the quality of the hardware manufacturing meets our requirements. I’ve brought back the pre-final module for final testing and changes. The updated version is now in final production, so in a few weeks we should get it done and we will build 100 iTraq Tags for those of you who contributed in Beta program.
We’ve also been busy making changes to the user-interface based on the feedback we received from our customer survey and from direct feedback from customers. We’ve done our best to include the most requested features, such as the ability to give friends and family access to your iTraq Tag location so they can map your location on their phones.
Here’s a sneak peek at the screenshots of key screens of the updated interface such as:
- Your iTraqs: Where you can monitor the location of your iTraq Tag (or multiple Tags). <photo>
- Schedule: Where you can schedule your iTraq Tag to report its location at different intervals at different times of the day. <photo>
- Guard Mode: Where you can set an alert to notify you if your iTraq Tag moves out of your pre-defined radius. <photo>
Today we submitted the final iTraq iPhone App to Apple and once it is approved it will be available for download (estimating 1-2 weeks). The Android version is still in development and is scheduled to be available in three weeks.
We are currently testing two iTraq Tags in our Redmond office and once the App is available, we would like to invite you to follow our Beta Tags.

re: GDP
here is an interesting perspective from
someone on the Yahoo boards:
6/17/15
"
What you are seeing today is a typical instance of one of the institutional investors selling off shares, because they are required to sell off stocks valued under $4 or $5 after value holding low for extended time (3 months). It will trigger a panic as seen today, where mom and papps got scared and dumped like no tomorrow. It typically clears itself out in a week. I would expect the price back to $2 or above in a week.
Positives:
1.) company recent offer in Mar (when crude price was at $50), price at $4, raised $48MM cash, that will keep operation afloat this year or next.
2.) Cost of Good sold is only 10% - 20% of revenue throughout the year, lower than oil & gas industry average
3.) Big insider buys in one day 5/29/15, 320,000 shares at $2.75 average from various directors
4.) company can easily sell Eagle ford acreage for hundred millions to cover LT & ST debts worst case scenario..
5.) 2015 price well-leveraged
6.) Massive TMS acreage and Capex investment spent in the past years are beginning to pay off with break-even price at $55-$60 which is current oil price. With a little lift in crude market, it will shine.
Negatives & improving areas
1.) Sales & Admin expense $9 million a quarter, 30% of revenue much higher % than cost of good sold, too high for a 100 people company, massive lay-off needed to sustain profitability, including firing those overpaid/do-little executives. Its current operation can potentially sustain at 60 people with $5 million sales & administration going forward, until crude turns significantly.
2.) prefer dividend $7 million a quarter, got to be stopped that in the down year.
3.) Capex too high, Capex can be cut from $60-70Million a quarter to $30 Million a quarter. Leverage on existing Eagle ford lifting during bad times, invest less in TMS exploration until price gets higher.
Sentiment: Strong Buy "
GDP was 0.69 cents in 1999
and $86. in 2008
What will it do in the coming months/years....
One to watch.
