Nostromo Energy Limited

Nostromo Energy Ltd. (TASE: NOST), provider of sustainable energy storage solutions to commercial and industrial buildings, based on its proprietary IceBrick™ technology, announced today a $9.1M equity financing by Migdal Group, one of the largest financial groups in Israel, investing approximately $7M, and another $2M by Freepoint Commodities, a Stamford, CT based commodities and energy trading company and developer of renewable energy projects. The investment was in the form of a private issuance of ordinary shares at a price per share of $10.8, including non-tradable 30-months’ warrants to invest an additional $6.4M ($5.0M by Migdal and $1.4M by Freepoint) at a price per share of $15.1, representing a 40% premium on the transaction price. Completion of the investment depends on the approval by the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange for listing the issued shares for trade. The proceeds of this investment will be used by Nostromo to expand its business operations in the US market, as well as expand its R&D, software, engineering, project management, production, Q&A, regulatory and US sales and marketing organization. “This investment further strengthens our financial position and, more importantly, creates partnership with two important shareholders with significant value. Migdal is a leading institutional investor, with a clear commitment to clean energy, energy storage, and sustainability in general,” says Yoram Ashrey, CEO of Nostromo. “Freepoint brings a broad and deep understanding of energy markets, which will be highly valuable to us as we grow in the US market.” “As renewable sources of power provide more of our electricity needs in the future, there will be an increasing demand for storage systems to balance the power grid. Nostromo’s innovative IceBrick is a solution unique in its safety and reliability, and will no doubt be a compelling mechanism to create behind-the-meter power storage in the future. We are highly impressed by the Nostromo team’s achievements to date and look forward to working with them in the future to expand commercial adoption of the IceBrick technology.” Said David Messer, CEO of Freepoint Commodities. About Nostromo Energy Nostromo accelerates the renewable energy revolution, with its sustainable energy storage solution that enables commercial and industrial buildings to do their part in stopping climate change by becoming large-scale energy storage assets.

Provident Bank Survey Shows Bidding Wars are the New Norm for Home Buyers

Provident Bank

Provident Bank, a leading New Jersey-based financial institution, today released a new Home Buyer Research Report showing increased competition in the housing market. In fact, approximately 61% of the survey’s 400 respondents – all recent home buyers – competed in at least one bidding war during their home search. Despite competition, most said their winning offer on the home they ultimately purchased was at or above asking price with more than 25% saying their winning offer was more than 10% above asking price. Additionally, 70% of respondents reported a positive buying experience. “Our survey showed that first-time home buyers have not been scared off by the competitive housing market,” said Tony Labozzetta, President & COO, Provident Bank. “The research shows that motivators to move are largely quality of life factors like better neighborhoods, better schools, job relocation or transfer. The good news is that most have been pleased with the overall home buying process despite the competitive market.” The survey also found that recent buyers are offering lower down payments. Despite most respondents offering less than 20% for a down payment, they had no difficulty obtaining a mortgage. Mortgage rates are still historically low for many recent home buyers, with 31% saying their rate is between 2-3%. Additional findings include: Approximately 75% of home buyers did at least half of their home shopping in-person, while 25% did most of their home shopping online. More than half (55%) think they overpaid for their home, however, 44% of respondents do not regret buying now. Over half of respondents think they will stay in their home for five years or fewer. Methodology Provident Bank surveyed 400 recent home buyers in the U.S. between the ages of 25 and 54. A full research report is available upon request. About Provident Bank Provident Bank, a community-oriented financial institution offering “Commitment you can count on” since 1839, is the wholly owned subsidiary of Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE:PFS), which reported assets of $13.39 billion as of September 30, 2021.

Hyundai Construction Equipment launches the next-generation 2.5-ton electric forklift (B-X)

Hyundai Construction Equipment

Launching the next-generation 2.5-ton electric forklift with the first application of lithium iron phosphate battery Carrying out a customer-centered marketing campaign targeting the logistics industry for industrial vehicles Hyundai Construction Equipment (CEO Choi Chul-gon) is launching the B-X Series, the next-generation electric forklift. Hyundai Construction Equipment will actively target the eco-friendly logistics market with B-X, the next-generation high-performance electric forklift, on November 3 (Wednesday). The 2.5-ton electric forklift is the most widely used product in indoor workplaces and is expected to be the core product, along with the company’s first medium-sized hydrogen forklift developed in Korea, to lead the eco-friendly logistics industry. Hyundai Construction Equipment is determined to redefine standards for small electric forklift markets—where cost-effectiveness is important—by applying lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for the first time in the B-X series. As LFP batteries require shorter charging time and generate higher output power than lead-acid batteries, which have been mainly applied to conventional electric forklifts, they are suitable for the logistics industry with long operating hours and high volume of goods. For this series, Hyundai Construction Equipment has maximized drivers’ convenience. It optimized the driver's seat design and air-conditioning and heating functions from an ergonomic aspect to ensure an internal structure that can support long-term operations. Moreover, it allows battery withdrawal on the side, thereby increasing the maintenance convenience. Conventional electric forklifts needed cranes when taking out a battery, but the B-X Series allows withdrawing it on the side more easily and safely using hand pallets or forklifts. Starting with the online launch on November 3, Hyundai Construction Equipment plans to utilize online and offline marketing actively to promote the B-X series to customers. The online launch will introduce the product and hold an event where customers can directly participate. Hyundai Construction Equipment began the test-drive operation of the next-generation electric forklift B-X series in October as part of its offline launch. The company plans to implement the test-drive program for one year. Moreover, it seeks to communicate actively with customers through its official YouTube channel, Hyundai Industrial Vehicle TV, by producing a variety of contents such as the ceremony of delivering the first vehicle to the customer using new models and launching a separate SNS platform for the industrial vehicle sector by year-end. “We have launched the B-X Series with eco-friendliness, work efficiency, and user-friendly features. We will take the lead in positive changes in the logistics market with differentiated product power and marketing strategies,” an official from Hyundai Construction Equipment said.
