More Opportunities for Premium Video on Demand will be Available on the Cineplex Store

TORONTO and UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Nov. 20, 2020 /CNW/ – Cineplex (TSX: CGX), Canada’s largest and most innovative film exhibitor, and Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG) today announced a multi-year agreement for theatrical exclusivity windows in the Canadian market.  This new dynamic window agreement between the two companies preserves the theatrical experience, while adapting to changing consumer behaviour, particularly as the world and the entertainment industry navigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The two companies are committed to creating a sustainable model for years to come.

Similar to the agreements that Universal has established with other major exhibitors, coming into effect immediately, the agreement guarantees at least three full weekends (17 days) of theatrical exclusivity for all Universal Pictures and Focus Features theatrical releases, at which point the studio will have the option to make its titles available across premium video on demand (PVOD) platforms, including the Cineplex Store.  Under the terms of the deal, any title that has a North American opening weekend box office of $50 million or more, including franchise titles, will play exclusively in theatres for at least five full weekends (31 days) before the title can be made available on PVOD.

“The pandemic has given the industry and movie-lovers around the globe a new appreciation for the magic of the big screen experience,” said Ellis Jacob, President and CEO, Cineplex.  “We are pleased to work alongside like-minded partners such as Universal, a studio that respects the theatrical window and is committed to the sustainable long-term health of the theatrical ecosystem.”

“With audience fragmentation accelerating due to the rise in digital, streaming and cord cutting, as well as the unprecedented issues our industry is facing right now, our relationship with exhibition had to evolve and adapt to the changing distribution landscape,” said Donna Langley, Chairman, UFEG.  “Giving consumers the flexibility to view content on their terms is more important than ever to help expand moviegoing, and Ellis and our partners at Cineplex allow us to increase these opportunities for our Canadian audience.”

The full terms of the deal are confidential and are not being disclosed.

UFEG’s film slate, including titles from Universal Pictures, Focus Features and DreamWorks Animation, has five theatrical releases remaining on the 2020 calendar: The Croods: A New Age (11/25), Half Brothers (12/4), All My Life(12/4), News of the World (12/25) and Promising Young Woman (12/25).

• Engineering validation of the 100 Volt Coil Driver marks key milestone toward delivering electric car products with improved performance
• Testing confirms operation of series to parallel algorithms driving dynamic switching under load
• Delivering prototype to Potencia to demonstrate maximum performance in operating application

CALGARY, AB, Nov. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Exro Technologies Inc. (TSXV: EXRO) (the “Company” or “Exro”), a leading clean technology company which has developed a new class of power electronics for electric motors and powertrains, is pleased to announce that it has completed the engineering validation on the 100 Volt Coil Driver for electric cars.

Validation of the 100V Coil Driver engineering technology is a key milestone for Exro to delivering commercial products in the rapidly growing electric car markets. The 100V Coil Driver will deliver next generation performance in power and efficiency to mobility applications with electric powertrains.

Testing has proven that the series to parallel algorithms driving the dynamic switching under load is operating as expected. Exro is on schedule to deliver a prototype to Potencia Industrial, S.A. DE C.V. (“Potencia”) and maximize performance in operating applications. Potencia is one of Mexico’s largest motor manufacturers with over fifty years of experience specializing in custom applications like the new Pronto Power electric powertrain. With over one million miles traveled, the Pronto Power is leading the transition of electric fleet vehicles in Latin America.

“I am extremely pleased with the speed-torque results from our bench tests”, said Eric Hustedt, Chief Engineer of Exro. “I have no concerns over the operations of the drive moving forward. The hardware is more than able to support the dynamic switching under loads, and demonstration of these algorithms in the drive is a major breakthrough.”

“We are excited about moving forward in delivering our technology into operating applications”, commented Sue Ozdemir, Chief Executive Officer of Exro. “This validation represents all the hard work our engineering team has put in to take our patented technology from simulations to dyno bay testing, taking us another step closer to positioning ourselves as technology leaders in the transition to electric vehicles.”

About Exro Technologies
 
Inc.

Exro is a Clean Tech company that has developed a new class of control technology for electric powertrains.  Exro’s advanced motor control technology, the “Coil Driver”, expands the capabilities of electric motors and powertrains. The Coil Driver enables two separate torque profiles within a given motor. The first is calibrated for low speed and high torque, while the second provides expanded operation at high speed. The ability to change configuration allows efficiency optimization for each operating mode, resulting in overall reductions in energy consumption. The controller automatically and seamlessly selects the appropriate configuration in real time so that torque demand and efficiency are optimized.

The limitations of traditional electric machines and power technology are becoming more evident. In many increasingly prominent applications, traditional methods cannot meet the required performance. This means either oversizing the equipment, adding additional motors, or implementing heavy mechanical geared solutions. Exro offers a new solution for system optimization through implementation of its technology which can yield the following results: increased drive cycle efficiency, reduced system volume, reduced weight, expanded torque and speed capabilities. Exro allows the application to achieve more with less energy consumed.

WAKEFIELD, Mass., Nov. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (CSE: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) (“Curaleaf” or the “Company”), a leading U.S. provider of consumer products in cannabis, announced today the launch of its NANO Chews product in the Florida market. Curaleaf’s sugar-free, fast-acting NANO Chews offer a reliable and consistent cannabis experience and are available at Curaleaf’s retail locations across the state, including the two newest dispensaries which recently opened in Pensacola and Panama City.

Utilizing nano-emulsion technology, Curaleaf NANO Chews are ideal for patients seeking a faster onset time and more calibrated experience. With 5mg of THC per piece, NANO Chews are infused with small, water-soluble cannabinoids. This technology allows patients to feel the product’s full effects in roughly half of the time of a traditional edible. NANO Chews are typically preferred among patients who are looking for quicker relief than traditional edibles offer. Curaleaf NANO Chews are available in the sugar-free flavor of Arctic Berry at launch, with additional flavors to follow, and Classic Chews, a more traditional edible, are also expected to launch in Florida in the coming weeks. Per Florida state regulations, the product does not contain any natural or artificial color additives.  

Florida’s Department of Health officially authorized medical applications of edibles in September. Prior to the announcement, Curaleaf released a selection of premium products in Florida, including first-to-market Sublingual Tablets, Select Elite Live cartridges, and RSO. Since then, the Company has debuted both NANO Drops and Live Blends in Florida, all of which cater to a variety of patient preferences.

“We’re thrilled to bring NANO Chews to Florida,” said Joe Bayern, President of Curaleaf. “This is the next step in delivering true innovation to the market. After receiving incredible feedback from patients in states where NANO Chews have already launched, we are confident that Floridians who’ve waited nearly four years for edibles will embrace a new kind of cannabis experience with NANO Chews.”

Florida is an increasingly fast-growing medical marijuana market in the United States with over 430,000 registered medical patients. Curaleaf currently operates 33 dispensaries in Florida and 95 dispensaries nationwide.

ATLANTA, Nov. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — LexisNexis® Risk Solutions, a leading data, analytics and technology provider today announced the 20^th anniversary of the ADAM^TM (Automated Delivery of Alerts on Missing Children) Program which is part of its longstanding partnership with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).

The ADAM Program, named in honor of Adam Walsh ⸺ who went missing in 1981 and is the son of NCMEC founders John and Revé Walsh ⸺ was designed and developed by LexisNexis Risk Solutions and donated to NCMEC in 2000. The program quickly distributes posters with photos and information about missing children across targeted areas, sending alerts to recipients ⸺ including members of law enforcement, news media, schools, businesses, medical centers and registered individuals ⸺ in a specific geographic search area within minutes.  To date, the program has helped recover nearly 200 missing children and assisted in the recovery efforts of countless others.

“Photos remain the single most powerful tool for finding a missing child. Getting photos and detailed information in front of people, quickly, is a big part of what makes this program such a success. The ADAM Program has truly helped change the way our nation searches for missing children” said Callahan Walsh, Child Advocate, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. “LexisNexis saw a need and stepped in a big way to find a solution. Without their continued support over the past twenty years we would not be where we are today and we are grateful to our partners at LexisNexis Risk Solutions.”

The technology for the program was created by employees of LexisNexis Risk Solutions, all of whom volunteered a significant amount of their personal time and expertise to make the program a success. A team of LexisNexis Risk Solutions volunteers continues to manage and enhance the program today. Recent upgrades have improved the capability to target specific geographic areas for poster distribution, enabled the display of posters of missing children on digital display boards, and expanded the recipient database to include not only businesses across the United States but individuals. 

“I have had the privilege of being part of the creation and development of this program since the beginning,” said Trish McCall, director, Program Management at LexisNexis Risk Solutions and Co-Founder of the ADAM Program. “Through the years, together with my counterparts at NCMEC, I have also shared in the joy each and every time this program has helped recover a missing child. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped make this program a success through its first 20 years and continue to look for ways to increase awareness and extend the reach of the ADAM Program.”

Partnerships with select businesses and organizations have also assisted in increasing the reach of the program; further helping to achieve the goal of reuniting missing children with their loved ones. To sign up for missing child alerts in your area, please visit adamprogram.com.
