Cooper Standard Adopts Tax Benefits Preservation Plan to Protect its Tax Benefits and Shareholder Value

Cooper Standard

Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (“Cooper Standard” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CPS) today announced that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted a tax benefits preservation plan (the “Rights Agreement”) in an effort to protect stockholder value by attempting to protect against a possible limitation on the Company’s ability to use its net operating losses, any loss or deduction attributable to a “net unrealized built-in loss” and other tax attributes (collectively, “Tax Benefits”) under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). As of September 30, 2022, Cooper Standard’s estimated U.S. Tax Benefits are approximately $130 million, which may be available to offset its future taxable income. The Company views its Tax Benefits as highly valuable assets, which are likely to inure to the benefit of the Company and its stockholders. However, if the Company experiences an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Code, its ability to use the Tax Benefits could be substantially limited, and the timing of the usage of the Tax Benefits could be substantially delayed, which could significantly impair the value of the Tax Benefits. Generally, an “ownership change” occurs if the percentage of the Company’s stock owned by one or more “five percent stockholders” increases by more than fifty percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by such stockholders at any time during the prior three-year period or, if sooner, since the last “ownership change” experienced by the Company. The Rights Agreement is intended to act as a deterrent to any person acquiring 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares (an “acquiring person”) of the Company’s common stock without the approval of the Board. This would protect the Tax Benefits because changes in ownership by a person owning less than 4.9% of the common stock are not included in the calculation of “ownership change” for purposes of Section 382 of the Code. The record date for the distribution of the rights is November 17, 2022. Under the Rights Agreement, the rights will initially trade with the Company’s common stock and will generally become exercisable only if a person (or any persons acting as a group) acquires 4.9% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock. If the rights become exercisable, all holders of rights (other than any triggering person) will be entitled to acquire shares of common stock at a 50% discount. Under the Rights Agreement, any person who currently owns 4.9% or more of the Company’s common stock may continue to own its shares of common stock but may not acquire any additional shares without triggering the Rights Agreement. Under the Rights Agreement, the Board has the discretion to exempt any transaction and to exempt any person (or group of persons) from the provisions of the Rights Agreement. The rights expire, unless earlier terminated, on the earliest to occur of: (i) November 6, 2025; (ii) the time at which the rights are redeemed; (iii) the time at which all exercisable rights are exchanged; (iv) November 6, 2023, if the approval of the Company’s stockholders of the Rights Agreement has not been obtained by that date; (v) the repeal of Section 382 of the Code if the Board determines that the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of the Tax Benefits; or (vii) the time at which the Board determines that the Tax Benefits are fully utilized or no longer available under Section 382 of the Code. Additional information about the Rights Agreement is available on a Form 8-K filed by Cooper Standard with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Cooper Standard Reports Strong Sales Growth and Margin Improvement in Third Quarter 2022

Cooper Standard

Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CPS) today reported results for the third quarter 2022. Third Quarter 2022 Summary Sales totaled $657.2 million, an increase of 24.8% compared to third quarter 2021 Net loss narrowed to $32.7 million or $(1.90) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $123.2 million or $(7.20) per diluted share in the third quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA totaled $20.5 million; adjusted EBITDA margin improved by approximately 950 basis points vs. third quarter 2021 Quarter-end cash balance of $231 million; continuing strong total liquidity of $387 million Net new business awards on electric vehicles of $27 million in the quarter and $72 million year to date; Total net new business awards of $66 million in the quarter and $124 million year to date “We were able to leverage our improving cost structure, enhanced commercial agreements and higher year-over-year industry production levels to drive positive results in the quarter,” said Jeffrey Edwards, chairman and CEO, Cooper Standard. “OEM production schedules remain erratic, however, with actual volumes still falling well short of industry forecasts and our customers' own releases. Despite this continuing challenge, we expect to deliver further operational improvements and margin expansion through the remainder of the year.” Consolidated Results The year-over-year increase in third quarter sales was primarily attributable to favorable volume and mix as well as realized recoveries of material cost inflation, which are reflected in price adjustments. These were partially offset by foreign exchange. Net loss for the third quarter 2022 was $(32.7) million, including restructuring charges of $1.7 million and other special items. Net loss for the third quarter 2021 was $(123.2) million, including restructuring charges of $1.6 million and other special items. Adjusted net loss, which excludes restructuring, other special items and their related tax impact, was $(29.5) million in the third quarter 2022 compared to $(106.4) million in the third quarter of 2021. The year-over-year improvement was primarily due to improved volume and mix, lower income tax expense and improved operating efficiencies. These were partially offset by continuing material cost inflation net of realized customer recoveries, higher labor costs and other inflationary headwinds. Adjusted net loss, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted loss per diluted share are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures, calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), are provided in the attached supplemental schedules. Automotive New Business Awards The Company continues to leverage its world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities, its innovation programs and its reputation for quality and service to win new business awards with its customers. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company received net new business awards representing approximately $66 million in incremental anticipated future annualized sales, including $27 million of awards on electric vehicle platforms. Year to date net new business awards totaled $124 million, including $72 million on electric vehicle platforms. Since the beginning of 2020, the Company has received net new business awards on electric vehicle platforms totaling over $275 million in expected incremental annualized sales. Segment Results of Operations Sales * Net of customer price adjustments Volume and mix, net of customer price adjustments including recoveries, was driven by vehicle production volume increases due to the lessening impact of semiconductor-related supply issues. The impact of foreign currency exchange was primarily related to the Euro, Chinese Renminbi and Korean Won. Adjusted EBITDA * Net of customer price adjustments ** Net of deconsolidation Volume and mix, net of customer price adjustments including recoveries, was driven by vehicle production volume increases due to a lessening impact on customer production schedules for semiconductor-related supply issues in the current year period. The impact of foreign currency exchange was primarily related to the Euro and Brazilian Real, partially offset by the Mexican Peso. The Cost (Increases) / Decreases category above includes: Commodity cost and inflationary economics; Manufacturing efficiencies and purchasing savings through lean initiatives; Increased compensation-related expenses; and Decreased costs related to ongoing salaried headcount initiatives and restructuring savings. Cash and Liquidity As of September 30, 2022, Cooper Standard had cash and cash equivalents totaling $231.2 million. Total liquidity, including availability under the Company's amended senior asset-based revolving credit facility, was $386.9 million at the end of the third quarter. Based on current expectations for light vehicle production and customer demand for our products, the Company expects its current solid cash balance and access to flexible credit facilities will provide sufficient resources to support ongoing operations and the execution of planned strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to meet its debt service requirements for the next twelve months is contingent upon its ability to refinance its term loan facility. The Company continues its discussions with certain investors with respect to potential refinancing alternatives. While discussions are ongoing, the Company has not reached an agreement with respect to such a transaction for refinancing its capital structure and there can be no assurances that such an agreement will be reached in the future. Outlook Industry projections for global light vehicle production growth, while still positive, have moderated over the past three months. Based on these industry projections, macroeconomic conditions, current customer production schedules and the Company's results to date, the Company is adjusting its 2022 full year guidance as follows: 2022 Guidance 1 1 Guidance is representative of management's estimates and expectations as of the date it is published. Current guidance as presented in this press release considers September 2022 S&P Global (IHS Markit) production forecasts for relevant light vehicle platforms and models, customers' planned production schedules and other internal assumptions. 2 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income because full-year net income will include special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end. Due to this uncertainty, the Company cannot reconcile projected adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income without unreasonable effort. Conference Call Details Cooper Standard management will host a conference call and webcast on November 2, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss its third quarter 2022 results, provide a general business update and respond to investor questions.

This press release also contains estimates and other information that is based on industry publications, surveys and forecasts. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information. CPS_F Financial statements and related notes follow: Non-GAAP Measures EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share and free cash flow are measures not recognized under U.S. GAAP and which exclude certain non-cash and special items that may obscure trends and operating performance not indicative of the Company’s core financial activities. Net new business is a measure not recognized under U.S. GAAP which is a representation of potential incremental future revenue but which may not fully reflect all external impacts to future revenue. Management considers EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow and net new business to be key indicators of the Company’s operating performance and believes that these and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance. In addition, similar measures are utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants and ratios contained in the Company’s financing arrangements and management uses these measures for developing internal budgets and forecasting purposes. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to reflect income tax expense (benefit), interest expense net of interest income, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to reflect certain items that management does not consider to be reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to reflect certain items that management does not consider to be reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is defined as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares, respectively, outstanding during the period. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures and is useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt. Net new business reflects anticipated sales from formally awarded programs, less lost business, discontinued programs and replacement programs and is based on IHS Markit forecast production volumes. The calculation of “net new business” does not reflect customer price reductions on existing programs and may be impacted by various assumptions embedded in the respective calculation, including actual vehicle production levels on new programs, foreign exchange rates and the timing of major program launches. When analyzing the Company’s operating performance, investors should use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow and net new business as supplements to, and not as alternatives for, net income (loss), operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and not as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s liquidity. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow and net new business have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. Other companies may report EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow and net new business differently and therefore the Company’s results may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, in evaluating adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss), it should be noted that in the future the Company may incur expenses similar to or in excess of the adjustments in the below presentation.

Minuteman Press Florida Franchise Owners Celebrate 15-plus Years in Business

Minuteman Press International Inc

Minuteman Press International is proud to acknowledge the following franchisees in Florida who are celebrating 15 years in business. Below you will find their insights on owning a business as well as their advice to other aspiring entrepreneurs and Minuteman Press franchise owners. Kathy Collier Alford Minuteman Press, Town ‘n’ Country, FL “I am not sure where 15 years has gone. Before I opened my shop in November 2007, I was in retail management for 25 years opening new markets all over the country. When I decided to do something different, all I knew is that I wanted to work for myself. Minuteman Press was in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 and looked interesting. My brother originally brought Minuteman Press to my attention as I would have never thought about owning a print shop because I did not know anything about the industry. We contacted the Florida Regional VP, went on a few shop tours, and here I am 15 years later! In the beginning, Minuteman Press has a system for growing your business, and I followed it. You must get plugged in! I did not even know what networking meant. I joined and visited various local groups and met so many people in the beginning that I still print for today. I joined a Chamber of Commerce; I got involved in philanthropy groups that I never had time for in my corporate life. I got involved in the community around my shop, and all of these experiences have been super rewarding. I would never have thought that owning my own printing franchise could help me grow as a person. I learned about all of these amazing things that I did not even know were going on, and I feel super blessed. Minuteman Press also has systems in place to help with pricing and growing my customer base. The Minuteman Press FLEX software has helped tremendously; FLEX has taken us to a whole new level of technology, pricing, emailing, invoicing, etc. If I was to dole out any advice to a new owner it would be to: Teach your staff customer service and treat them right; you cannot do this alone (they are part of my family) Get to know your neighborhood, join groups, and get involved Do the things that have worked that Minuteman Press has already proven can work Build relationships and customer referrals (referrals are the best compliments you can get) Use SEO to your advantage Work hard and you will earn it!” Ken & Lisa Rose Minuteman Press, Clermont, FL Ken Rose is the former Co-Director of Training for Minuteman Press International. Ken and his wife Lisa moved to Florida and from Long Island and they have now owned Minuteman Press in Clermont for 15+ years. Ken shares the following advice that carried over from his time at Minuteman Press International that has helped him achieve success and longevity over the years as a Minuteman Press franchisee: No matter what is going on, you have to have a positive attitude Plan your day the night before and arrive early Do what you say you’re going to do, and do it (Roy Titus, co-founder, Minuteman Press International) Be proud of what you do & always tell people who you are & what you do (Roy Titus) Be active in the community through clubs and organizations, and be visible Pay yourself a fair wage (Roy Titus) Jeff Reich Minuteman Press, Cape Coral, FL Jeff Reich has been the owner of Minuteman Press in Cape Coral, FL for 15+ years. Short and sweet, the advice Jeff shares is as follows: Understand your customers' expectations and exceed them Be persistent Deliver great quality In congratulating these owners, Florida Regional Vice President Larry Trimble says, “I am thrilled to be able to celebrate these impressive milestones with Kathy, Ken & Lisa, and Jeff as well as all of the incredible Minuteman Press franchisees across Florida who have achieved such accomplishments. It is a pleasure to be able to support them with their businesses and I look forward to continuing to do so.” For more information on #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and to see more Minuteman Press franchise reviews, visit https://minutemanpressfranchise.com.

" This amendment illustrates the confidence of Synergy shareholders in the long-term value of Volatus Aerospace, " said Abhinav Singhvi, CFO of Volatus Aerospace. “This addition in our definitive agreement eliminates significant dilution based on current share price and protects the interest of our existing shareholders.” Full amended news release is attached below: Volatus Aerospace Adds Over 500,000 km of Oil & Gas PipelineRight of Way Surveillance with Acquisition of Synergy Aviation Ltd. Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV:VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") announced on October 13, 2022 that it has signed an arm's length definitive agreement dated Oct 12, 2022, to acquire Alberta-based Synergy Aviation Ltd.

Founded in Alberta in 2014, SynergyAviation is an industry leaderin aerial surveillance, pipeline integrity monitoring, and specialized geomatics, patrolling and inspecting more than 500,000 KM of pipeline right of way stretching from the coast of British Columbia to the Manitoba/US border. The company provides Canada’s largest oil & gas producers and pipeline operators with uninterrupted, consistent and highly detailed right-of-way integrity data. “Pipeline inspection, much like other long linear inspection requirements, has traditionally been completed using crewed helicopters and small fixed wing aircraft,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “Leveraging Synergy’s oil & gas presence combined with our existing pipeline operations in Ontario will allow us to introduce the power of innovative drone solutions to meet regulatory compliance and asset management requirements with improved efficiencies and a material reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.” There are nearly 5 million kilometers of oil & gas pipelinein North America requiring annual inspections and, in many cases, weekly patrols to meet regulatory and asset management requirements,” said Todd Tkach,President of SynergyAviation. “Becoming part of Volatusgives us the added geomatics capabilities, market reach, and the opportunity to disrupt traditional methods in this sector. Synergy recorded unaudited revenues of $7 million with a 14% EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) during the first nine months of 2022 and is targeting year end revenuesof $9 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Volatus will make an equity investment of $2.29 million in Synergy Aviation over the course of 10 months from closing in exchange for newly issued shares that will represent 51% of all outstanding shares.

8 Best "Write My Essay For Me" Websites: Pay Someone To Do It For Cheap

Genuine Papers

It takes more than sheer grit to achieve success. After all, success is a function of a well-planned endeavour. You do not rush into it. You do not scurry into it. You do not stumble upon it. It does not happen to you by chance. Instead, it is a result of a well-thought-out plan and execution. And in this execution, there is a clear understanding of personal abilities, strengths, and weaknesses directing the approach of such a success plan. The ants know this. So, there is a clear-cut division of labour amidst them. And that is why they have thrived for so long despite the harsh climatic conditions they have had to live through. Thus, it only makes sense that for you to achieve such excellence as you so desire in your academic pursuits, you must engage the services of people who know their onions on the task. Essay writing is one of the things many students need help with. Some of them cannot do it. But is that a bad thing in and of itself? No. Why? Because many life contexts determine different life approaches. An immigrant undergraduate student who juggles three jobs would have little or no time to sit down before a computer and type long (or even short) essays. The same goes for a family man who, after a long day in school, still has to fend for his children at home. At the same time, some students do not have a strong command of the English language and can not write coherent essays. So, should these folks suffer in their academic pursuits because of their life situations? Definitely not.

For discounts, Studdit likes to add to the overall experience of its customer by including 25% off on their first order. #3. EssayPro EssayPro is a pro essay writer because of the speed of their turn-ins. They have a reputation for sending in essays within a short period. Once you stipulate your deadline, they get your task to you at said time. And they do this for a wide range of essays that you can think of. These include term papers, dissertations, research papers, personal statements, admission essays, theses, etc. All these are essays written for high schoolers as well as for persons who are presently in tertiary institutions. And guess what? Persons in postgraduate studies are also not exempted from their league of clientele. You should know that EssayPro is a sucker for excellence.

Rather, they are duty-of-care processes that separate the wheat from the tares. Thus, only the best of the best writers, who are culture-fit for consistent delivery of quality work despite the huge workload, are retained. There is always the ID and Diploma verification stage for the writers they recruit. Then, they are asked to send in samples of their previous works. Further, test jobs are assigned to them before they are admitted into a full-time hire, howbeit probationary phase. In contrast, placing an order on the EssayPro site is an entirely different ballgame. It is simple and seamless as opposed to the recruitment scheme for most of their writers. You first fill out the order form. This usually includes details about the length of the essay, the topic, and the academic level of such an essay.

Their market pricing is also quite fair, and you can get an excellent essay for just $10.8. But like other sites, the delivery stipulations, whether high school or undergraduate level writing, would also determine the increase or decrease of the price slide bar. #4. PaperHelp PaperHelp is truly that “write my essay” site that you can pay to get your writing needs to be sorted for you. Why? There are a couple of reasons that have informed this claim. And a major of them is the quality of their essays. It's sterling. Most of their previous and current customers have testified of their special deliveries. The specifications are fully adhered to, as well as the time of submission. The students who order from them have grades ranging between B- and A. This tells you that they are good at what they do. Another feature of their services that stands them out is the referral program they run. This involves students and others sharing their services with people outside the platform. And once those referred people sign up and order, the one who refers gets a discount on the essay orders they place. This feature has been integral to the fast growth of PaperHelp in the essay-writing market. Further, you can order any writing needed on PaperHelp.

They have capable hands ready to turn your essay challenges into an amazing body of work that would earn you a high grade with your lecturers or supervisors. Interestingly, it does not matter the topic or deadline. What counts is the number of words and type of paper you need to be written. And you would be amazed at the original content curated for you by these expert writers. With PaperHelp, their essays begin at a pegged price of $12. This is a low price for many students, which is affordable for them to pay. And considering that there is an underlying guarantee of a possible high grade, such a price is too small to pay for such a top-grade essay. And things get more interesting when you realize they have a couple of discounts up their sleeves. For example, you enjoy a 15% discount on your first order. Then, when you refer people, you get 10% off too. #5. EssayFactory EssayFactory is that professional “write my essay for me” website. That requires little or no monitoring.
