TrueCar Shares Best Black Friday Cash, Lease, and Finance Deals on Popular New Models

Plus Best Deals on Used Vehicle and Trade-In Values

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TrueCar, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRUE), the most efficient and transparent online destination to find a car, today announced its list of the best Black Friday deals on new and used vehicle purchases and trade-in values.

“Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year and it’s no different for car shopping. It’s a great weekend for car buyers looking to score a deal on their next car,” said Nick Woolard, Director of OEM Analytics for TrueCar.

“Pandemic-related production pauses this past spring caused a delay in getting the new model year vehicles on the dealers’ lots, many of which are still rolling out. This bodes well for new car shoppers, as automakers incentivize the outgoing model when they introduce the new model year. Additionally, many automakers are looking to make up for lower sales volumes earlier in the year, leaving plenty of opportunities for deals this Black Friday,” added Woolard.

Fountainhead Named Among Country’s Top 100 Most Active Small Business Administration Lenders

Largest
Orlando-based
SBA lender
continues
to help small businesses through innovative loan programs

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fountainhead, a nationwide, nonbank lender for small-to-mid-sized businesses today announces a major milestone: making the top 100 list for most active Small Business Administration (SBA) lenders in the country.

The Orlando-based lender helps companies grow via SBA 7(a), SBA 504, and low-LTV conventional loan programs, as well as loans via the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Fountainhead’s work on the PPP loan program, launched by SBA in March of 2020, has funded more than $767 million across 8,237 loans and has saved an estimated 120,000 American jobs.

Most recently, Fountainhead was approved to be one of SBA’s Preferred Lenders. This coveted spot in the Preferred Lending Program, awarded to a small percentage of lenders, grants designated underwriting for 7(a) loans, which shaves several business days off the approval and closing process. Fountainhead was also approved to participate in SBA’s Express Loan Program. Both milestones – making the top 100 and receiving PLP status – were achieved in Fountainhead’s first full government fiscal year providing 7(a) loans.

“Ever since we first started in 2015, the team has worked incredibly hard to help provide the smartest and fastest financing possible for small business owners,” said CEO and Founder Chris Hurn. “We’ve grown the company to become the largest SBA nonbank lender in the Southeast and the third largest SBA lender based in Florida through several different company initiatives, the PPP being the most recent. Our growth is exciting, but we won’t stray from our mission to support small businesses navigating the pandemic.”

Apart from its recent government honors, Fountainhead was also named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s Fastest Growing Companies for the second year in a row, and one of Orlando Business Journal’s 2020 Best Places to Work for outstanding culture and financial industry leadership.

Patagonia Gold Receives Provisional Permit for the Development of the Cap Oeste Gold/Silver Underground Project

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Patagonia Gold Corp. (“Patagonia” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PGDC) is pleased to announce that it has received a provisional permit to proceed with the development of the Cap-Oeste gold/silver underground project (the “Project” or “Capo”). Development of the Project will focus on a high-grade portion of the current mineral resources, which lie under and peripheral to the depleted surface mine. The intention is to mine the Cap Oeste underground resource and truck the ore approximately 150 kms to the Martha plant where it will be processed to produce a concentrate.

The current mineral resource estimate for Cap Oeste is set out below.

Notes:

  • The mineral resource estimate was prepared by Cube Consulting Pty Ltd with an effective date of December 31, 2018, in the technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report, Mineral Resource Estimate on the Cap Oeste Gold-Silver Project, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina” (the “Technical Report”). For additional information, including with respect to the key assumptions, parameters and methods used in respect of the mineral resource estimate, refer to the Technical Report, which is available on SEDAR.
  • Cutoff used a 69.4:1 Au price to Ag price ratio
  • “K” – thousands, “g/t” = grams per tonne
  • Fomicruz has 5% ownership
  • Rounding may affect sums and weighted averages
  • Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have not demonstrated economic viability

Mr. Christopher van Tienhoven, Chief Executive Officer, remarks, “The 2018 Capo mineral resource contains a higher-grade component of 478,000tonnes of indicated mineral resources, grading 12.6 g/t Au and 472 g/t Ag and containing 194,000 gold and 7.3 million silver ounces. This high-grade mineralization is hosted in a ‘Cose-style’ breccia setting, which we expect will form the basis for the potential underground project.” (Source: page 21 of the Technical Report). “At a 3 g/t Au equivalent cutoff grade, the high-grade mineralization contains over 190 thousand gold and 7.2 million silver ounces, attesting to its robustness even at much higher cutoff grades.”


Qualified Person’s Statement

Donald J. Birak, an independent geologist and Registered Member of SME and Fellow of AusIMM and the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical content of this press release.

CVS Health Names Neela Montgomery President of CVS Pharmacy

Former Crate & Barrel CEO is a leader in e-commerce retail

PR Newswire

WOONSOCKET, R.I., Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CVS Health Corporation (NYSE: CVS) today announced that Neela Montgomery has been named Executive Vice President and President of CVS Pharmacy/Retail, effective November 30, 2020. Montgomery will oversee the company’s 10,000 pharmacies across the United States.

Lynch, who will become President and CEO of CVS Health in February 2021. “She brings deep consumer insights that will allow us to better anticipate consumers’ changing needs and deliver even more value to our customers in local, personalized ways. Neela is well-positioned to lead CVS Pharmacy today and into the future.”

Montgomery, currently a Board Partner at venture capital firm Greycroft, most recently served as chief executive officer of furniture retailer Crate & Barrel and has nearly 20 years of global retail experience. As CEO of Crate & Barrel, she transformed its online sales channel to more than 50 percent of the company’s total revenue. In 2019 she was named to the “Top Women in Retail” list by the Women in Retail Leadership Circle. Prior to Crate & Barrel, she served as Group Executive Board Member of the Otto Group, a global retail and services group and one of the leading e-commerce retailers in the world.

Before joining Otto, she served as UK General Merchandise Director at Tesco PLC, the British multinational retailer and a top 10 international retailer. She held a number of senior management positions with Tesco, including UK e-commerce director and chief merchant for Tesco Malaysia.

“I am thrilled to lead CVS Pharmacy with its 190,000 dedicated colleagues and join such an outstanding leadership team,” said Montgomery. “CVS Pharmacy plays a unique and important role in the health needs and lives of Americans. Increasingly these health care touch points will be digital, virtual and in-person. This is a fantastic opportunity to help accelerate the company’s bold vision to deliver consumer health services in the community and ensure CVS Pharmacy plays an essential role in customers’ health moments.”

Montgomery will report directly to Lynch and become a member of the company’s executive team. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Literature and Language from Oxford University and holds an MBA from INSEAD in France and Singapore.

Montgomery is a member of Logitech’s board of directors and was named a 2020 Henry Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute.

CVS Pharmacy has performed a critical role during the pandemic, providing essential goods and pharmacy services, as well as the most COVID-19 testing of any retailer. When COVID-19 vaccines become available, CVS Pharmacy will be on the frontlines of vaccine administration. The company, which will provide nearly 20 million flu vaccines this year, has reached agreements with the Department of Health and Human Services to provide COVID-19 vaccines to long-term care facilities and to the general population.

HeadsUp To Launch Proprietary iFundRaiser Online Platform

PR Newswire

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – HeadsUp Entertainment International Inc. (Pinksheets: HDUP.PK) is pleased to announce the launch of its proprietary new iFundRaiser platform.  This technology ecosystem has been developed to provide a solution for charities and organizations to quickly and inexpensively launch an end to end engagement system to raise funds and offer a next generation mechanism to its clients using digital gaming and media.

“The COVID-19 Pandemic and its affiliated severe negative economic impact has dramatically changed the world in many ways and charities have been one of the most impacted victims of the world’s new realities.  Golf tournaments, galas, speaking events and traditional fundraisers are no longer a viable means for most organizations to gather their benefactors and supporters to raise money for their causes and we have the answer” commented HeadsUp CEO Doug Wilson. “Using the tools we have with gaming licenses, digital technology, media production and payment processing we can deliver a complete solution.”

The iFundRaiser platform will be tailored to each client to build an embedded online experience for maximum exposure.  Whether the platform offers an online poker tournament, 50/50 draw, celebrity endorsement, online slot machine or casino game, daily fantasy sports contest, streaming virtual media event, auction or digital gaming experience, the HeadsUp product offers charity management a complete end to end solution to monetize their databases and supporters without the cost, time and experience of licensing and building gaming fundraising infrastructure.

“I have spent the last 30 years raising money for good causes, over $2 Billion to date, and this is the best product I have ever had the opportunity to introduce” stated HeadsUp Chief Business Development Officer Mark Hutchinson.  “I have already been able to bring major global partners to HeadsUp to allow us to do the hard work of raising money in very difficult times globally.”

Already in negotiation, the iFundRaiser opportunity has been presented to organizations from military to wildlife groups and from local to global organizations that will be able to plug into the digital gaming experience and go to market immediately with everything from draws, lottery, bingo, 50/50, watch and win, donate and win and play to win with iGaming products.

Designed to drive millions of followers to the HeadsUp sites and applications, the platform takes the risk away from its Charity clients and through licensed gaming and new media engagement tools does all the work in a safe, secure and innovative environment.

HeadsUp has engaged and partnered with several world-renowned partners to aggregate the operations under one roof and monetize it through revenue share agreements.  The estimates of traffic and dollar volume of funds raised from iFundRaiser are substantial.

The Company looks forward to announcing the first contracts to be executed within weeks. 

About HeadsUp Entertainment International Inc.

TRISCUIT Launches The Missing Ingredients Project, Committing $1M to Address the Challenges of Food Deserts and Help Improve Access to a Variety of Nutritious Foods Across America

Effort will award grants to local changemakers who are helping to solve the growing problem of missing food in their communities

PR Newswire

EAST HANOVER, N.J., Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Today, TRISCUIT, a brand known for its woven, whole grain wheat crackers, announced the launch of The Missing Ingredients Project, the brand’s first-ever purpose-driven effort to help increase access to the variety of affordable, fresh foods lacking in food deserts. Through this initiative, TRISCUIT is committing $1 million in grant funding over the next three years to find and support individuals and non-profit organizations who are developing innovative ways to advance access to a variety of fresh, nourishing food in food deserts across the United States.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), approximately 19 million people— 6.2 percent of the United States population — live in food deserts. These are geographic areas, either urban or rural, where access to affordable, healthy food options, including fresh fruits and vegetables, is limited or non-existent. In food deserts, access is often restricted by several factors including distance to the grocery store, the number of stores in the area, family income and availability of transportation. According to the USDA, food deserts are described as low-income areas where at least 500 people, or at least 33 percent of the population, is greater than 1.0 mile from the nearest supermarket, supercenter, or large grocery store for an urban area or greater than 10 miles for a rural area1.

“The TRISCUIT brand has always been committed to weaving more nourishment into the world, and right now, millions of people live in areas where they cannot find essential nourishing ingredients needed for a balanced diet, only been made worse by the pandemic,” said Sally Barton, Senior Brand Manager, Mondelēz International. “It’s a crisis that demands our attention, and as a brand, we knew we had to take action.”

Starting in early 2021, the brand will invite local nonprofits to apply for one of 20 $50,000 grants to help fuel and fortify their work. The Missing Ingredients Project will award six grants in 2021 and the remaining 14 grants be awarded in 2022 and 2023.

Changemakers will be asked to submit applications showcasing how they are driving change and improving food access in food deserts across the country – from community fridges with fresh food to hosting pop-up food banks to meet increased demand for healthy, balanced meals. Changemakers will be selected on the strength of their solutions, the impact of their work and their ability and desire to scale their plans to reach even more people.

TRISCUIT is launching a digital and out-of-home campaign featuring arresting visuals in the form of iconic “missing posters” that highlight the reality millions of Americans face: missing the nourishing food they need for balanced eating. Out-of-home media placements can be found in neighborhoods across New York City, including on LinkNYC digital platforms, in close proximity to supermarkets, with the goal of emphasizing one of the factors impacting food access in food deserts: distance to a grocery store. Consumers will be directed to triscuit.com/MissingIngredients to learn more about the issue.

TRISCUIT is also partnering with James Beard award-winning New Orleans chef, Nina Compton, and L.A. based chef, restaurateur, author, and television personality, Ludo Lefebvre, to raise awareness of the issue and help TRISCUIT engage with changemakers.

“Access to fresh and healthy food is something many of us, including myself, take for granted,” said Compton. “In New Orleans, COVID has compounded the problem of missing food and we need brands like TRISCUIT to work toward a solution.”

“The issue of food deserts doesn’t get the attention it deserves,” said Lefebvre. “As a Los Angeles-based chef, I know people in my community—my neighbors, colleagues, friends and my children’s classmates—who do not have access to a very basic need of affordable, healthy food, and I am pleased to partner with brands like TRISCUIT that are helping to improve access.”

For more information on The Missing Ingredients Project and how to apply for a grant or nominate changemakers when the application process opens in early 2021, visit triscuit.com/MissingIngredients
