Plant Health Care Signs Third and Fourth Innatus™ 3G Agreements

 

Company Expanding R&D Capabilities and Expertise

 

Plant Health Care (AIM: PHC), a leading provider of novel patent-protected biological products to global agriculture markets, today announced that it has signed its third and fourth agreements with major industry players in the agricultural space regarding the evaluation of its Innatus™ 3G peptide platform. This technology platform enables the design, production and screening of a large pipeline of peptides with diverse biological properties. The peptides can be used for both seed treatment and foliar applications.  They can also be combined with conventional crop protection chemicals, making them highly complementary to existing production practices.

 

To enhance and accelerate the Company's unique capabilities in the field of PREtec science (Plant Response Elicitor technology), the Company has moved its Seattle-based research facility to a significantly larger installation, expanding its footprint to over four times its previous size. Furthermore, Plant Health Care has made two notable additions to its staff. The company recently hired Dr. Mariola Kopcinski as Director, Scientific Alliances. In this role, Dr. Kopcinski will be responsible for identifying technology in and out licensing opportunities and managing relationships with potential licensors and licensees. Dr. Kopcinski brings to PHC an extensive background in various research, product management and marketing roles. Most recently, she was the Global Strategic Marketing Director at FMC. Previously, Dr. Kopcinski held management positions at Syngenta, Valent BioSciences, DuPont and Rohm and Haas. She holds an MBA from the University of Rochester and a Ph.D. in Agriculture from Akademia Rolnicza im. Augusta Cieszkowskiego w Poznaniu.

 

Plant Health Care has also hired Dr. Guofu Li as a senior scientist. Most recently, he was a research scientist at DuPont Pioneer, formally Pioneer Hi-Bred. Previously, Dr. Li was with Sangamo BioSciences. He holds an MS in Agronomy from the University of the Philippines and a Ph.D. in Biology from Texas A&M University.

 

Paul Schmidt, CEO of Plant Health Care, commented, "Our continuing success in signing up major industry players to evaluate our Innatus 3G platform is a strong validation of the potential benefit our customers believe this technology can bring to the agricultural market. As we move forward with these evaluation agreements, we are continuing to build the development capability and expertise to support the expansion and eventual commercialization of this technology. The combination of expanding our R&D capabilities and adding key personnel like Dr. Kopcinski and Dr. Li to the team bolsters our position as a leading player in this market sector."

EU Supply (LSE AIM: EUSP), the e-procurement software provider, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract with Departementenes sikkerhets- og serviceorganisasjon, ("DSS"), the Norwegian Central Government Service Centre. The contract allows DSS the right to use the Company's CTMTM platform for any tendering and contract management. 

 

The contract is for 2 years, with up to 2 years' optional extensions. It is expected to lead to adoption for certain procurement procedures across all central government departments.

Pricing of the contract is dependent on the number of users.  

 

Business Alert services which were launched earlier this year in Norway have also now been launched in the United Kingdom.

Tracsis PLC

Tracsis plc

("Tracsis" or the "Group")

 

Strategic Investment in Citi Logik Limited

 

Tracsis plc, a leading provider of software and technology led products and services for the transportation industry, is pleased to announce it has made a strategic investment to acquire 29.4% of Citi Logik Limited ("Citi Logik").

Established in 2011, Citi Logik has developed unique technology and expertise in mobile analytics to improve the understanding of interactions between people, transport and the built environment using large anonymised mobile phone datasets.   The business has a global framework agreement with a major FTSE 100 telecommunications business to source mobile data and works with a range of public and private customers on projects ranging from transport analysis to consumer behaviour and travel patterns.

 

The Directors believe Citi Logik has a highly novel technology platform that will be complementary to the existing Tracsis Traffic & Data Services division.  Mobile analytics offers strong cross sell and upsell opportunities to the Tracsis Group and complements existing survey methods which will expand the market into larger projects of greater size and complexity.

 

Under the terms agreed, Tracsis will invest up to £1.0m via a combination of equity and debt funding in return for 29.4% of the issued share capital in Citi Logik.  Investment of £0.5m will be made immediately with a further £0.5m invested within the next 12 months subject to delivery of agreed business plan milestones.   A Tracsis executive will join the Board of Directors of Citi Logik to help grow the business and promote mobile analytics to the Tracsis customer base.

 

 

John McArthur, Chief Executive Officer of Tracsis plc, commented: 

 

"We are delighted to have completed this investment into Citi Logik and look forward to working with their team to help promote a unique offering to our client base.  The potential of mobile analytics is significant and not only complements our existing traffic and data services division but creates an entirely new market outside of what can be achieved by discrete survey methods."

 

Stephen Leece, Managing Director of Citi Logik Limited, commented: 

 

"We are very pleased to join forces with Tracsis having worked with them for some time now as a valued customer. The combination of Tracsis' existing technology and extensive customer list, combined with Citi Logik's unique mobile analytics offering makes for a great value proposition.  With this investment in place we now look forward to accelerating delivery of our business plan."

Signing of Contract for Concourses Exhibitions, Events and Distributions with Network Rail

 

SpaceandPeople (AIM: SAL), the retail, promotional and brand experience specialist, wins exclusive rights to promote brands across all Network Rail stations in the UK for five years.

SpaceandPeople is delighted to announce that it has secured an exclusive agreement with Network Rail.

The specialist agency now has the exclusive rights to promote brands across all Network Rail Stations in the UK. This contract win reinforces SpaceandPeople's position as Europe's biggest company selling experiential media.

SpaceandPeople will deliver a strategic approach across Network Rail's portfolio of stations, while delivering targeted and appropriate promoters and retailers to each individual location.  SpaceandPeople will improve the commercialisation activity in the stations by working closely with Network Rail and understanding their strategy and priorities and deliver commercialisation solutions which are synergistic with, and complementary to, the overall environment in each station.

Matthew Bending, SpaceandPeople CEO said:

"This is a significant win for SpaceandPeople and it complements the existing successful shopping centre business that we have built over the years. The Network Rail portfolio offers an extremely large footfall across the UK, which provides us with a unique opportunity to build a bigger network of transport hubs in the UK and Europe."
