PHOENIX, March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — SinglePoint Inc (Cboe:SING) or (the “Company”), a leader in renewable energy and healthy living, today announced that on February 28, 2024, it received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe BZX”) notifying the Company that its common stock did not maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 over 30 consecutive business days as required by Cboe BZX Listing Rule 14.9(e)(1)(B) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The receipt of the Cboe notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from the Cboe BZX and has no current immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Cboe BZX Exchange, under symbol “SING.” This determination starts a 180-day period ending on August 26, 2024, for the Company to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before August 26, 2024, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, unless the Cboe BZX exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period, the Company will be deemed to have regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, following which, Cboe BZX will provide a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

In the event that the Company does not regain compliance by August 26, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period provided that it meets the applicable market value of publicly held shares required for continued listing and other applicable standards for initial listing of its common stock on the Cboe BZX (other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement). To be eligible, the Company will also need to provide a written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the second 180 calendar day grace period, and is ineligible for an additional grace period, Cboe BZX will provide written notice that the common stock of the Company is subject to delisting from the Cboe BZX Exchange. In that event, the Company may appeal the determination to a Cboe BZX hearings panel.

“We are and have been taking decisive action to address this and improve our stock price. With a current market cap of approximately $2 million against revenues of over $25 million, we firmly believe the company is significantly undervalued. At a simple 0.4 revenue multiplier, we believe we would be achieving compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and surpassing a stock price of a dollar is not only attainable, but a testament to the underlying value and opportunity we believe SinglePoint presents to its current and future shareholders,” commented Wil Ralston CEO, SinglePoint.

“Our recent successes and planned profitability achievements are set to address the current market cap issues head-on,” Ralston added. “We are confident in our strategy and the steps we are taking to ensure compliance with the Cboe BZX Exchange requirements. We believe, our company’s performance and potential are strong, and we are making the necessary adjustments to reflect this in our stock price.”

The company is focused on leveraging its robust revenue base and pursuing strategic initiatives to drive growth and enhance shareholder value. Management remains optimistic about SinglePoint’s future and its ongoing efforts to improve financial performance and market position.

“We consider SinglePoint to be highly undervalued and are dedicated to unlocking the true value of our company for our shareholders,” Ralston continued, “We appreciate our investors’ continued support as we work towards not only meeting the exchange’s requirements but also exceeding our own financial and operational goals.”

SinglePoint is committed to transparency and ongoing communication with its investors and stakeholders as it moves forward with its strategic initiatives. Due to recurring distribution issues, the Company strongly recommends visiting the corporate website at www.singlepoint.com and signing up for the email distribution list in order to ensure timely receipt of important company updates.

24 Hour Pause for Peace Will Be the Largest Peace Initiative Ever Worldwide, Unifying 96 Countries on Six Continents Through Music

MONTCLAIR, N.J., Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — On this International Day of Peace, PEAC Institute, part of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize winning team, has launched “24 Hour Pause for Peace: A Global Concert,” the largest peace initiative ever organized worldwide through music.

“Now, we need companies, government entities, other nonprofits and donors who care about our cause for peace to join us in lifting up the biggest event of this generation.”

On October 4, 2025, this ground-breaking program will activate a massive network of youth ensembles that spans 96 countries and territories across six continents and host two 24-hour commercial festivals featuring some of the biggest acts in music and entertainment. This extraordinary day-long event will be live-streamed globally, allowing millions to participate simultaneously.

“It has been 40 years since Live Aid and We Are the World historically unified and changed the world through music,” said Rebecca Irby, president and CEO of PEAC Institute. “With our planet riddled with post-pandemic fatigue, climate chaos, unsettling wars and more, we believe it is time to create a new trajectory for humanity by inviting everyone around the globe to a 24 hour pause for peace to enjoy the sounds of music and feel the transformative power of human connection,” Irby explained.

Additionally, 24 Hour Pause for Peace plans to amass more than 100 million ambassadors to sign an appeal to the United Nations calling for a 24 hour ceasefire during the children’s concerts and commercial music events. All countries are welcome to participate with no exceptions. One of Pause for Peace’s core beliefs is everyone has the right to be equally respected and heard, particularly in collectively calling for peace.

“Achieving this ambitious global endeavor requires the support and participation from the most impactful brands, organizations, and influential leaders, artists and celebrities,” said Jennifer McKenna, 24 Hour Pause for Peace CEO.

Pause for Peace is a $165 million global initiative. Currently, it is in its first phase of raising seed capital through consumer brand-aligned sponsorships and private donors. Funding for the program is tax-deductible through PEAC’s 501(c)(3) status.

“We have assembled an exceptional executive team of change agents in entertainment, production, consumer marketing, charitable development and global security to make this extraordinary, worldwide peace event happen.” McKenna added. “Now, we need companies, government entities, other nonprofits and donors who care about our cause for peace to join us in lifting up the biggest event of this generation.” To become involved in 24 Hour Pause for Peace: A Global Concert as a sponsor, partner or donor, sign up to be an Ambassador, or for more information, go to www.24hourpauseforpeace.org.

September 21, 2024

The involved facilities span areas such as basic nuclear research, isotope production, nuclear environment simulation, equipment testing, and radioactive waste treatment and disposal.

VIENNA, Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — China will open 12 nuclear research facilities and testing platforms to international scientists and institutions to enhance global cooperation, a senior Chinese official said here on Monday.

These include the China Advanced Research Reactor, the new-generation tokamak device Huanliu-3, and the Beishan Underground Research Laboratory, Liu Jing, vice chairman of the China Atomic Energy Authority (CAEA), said at a meeting on the sidelines of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) annual general conference.

The facilities span areas such as basic nuclear research, isotope production, nuclear environment simulation, equipment testing, and radioactive waste treatment and disposal.

Monday’s meeting, themed “Share for Development,” was organized by the CAEA to promote international cooperation in nuclear technology research and development, as China marks the 40th anniversary of its accession to the IAEA.

Yu Jianfeng, chairman of China National Nuclear Corporation, said at the event that the company aims to deepen cooperation with the IAEA and expand international collaboration. He expressed hope that opening China’s nuclear research facilities will contribute to advancing nuclear technology globally.

IAEA’s Deputy Director General Mikhail Chudakov commended China’s remarkable achievements in nuclear energy development and highlighted the long-standing, fruitful relationship between the IAEA and the CAEA.

Welcoming China’s decision to open up more of its nuclear research and development facilities, Chudakov said the move will further strengthen the agency’s technical capacity to support its member states.

On Monday evening, the CAEA and China’s permanent mission to the United Nations (UN) and other international organizations in Vienna jointly held a reception at the UN headquarters in Vienna to celebrate the 40th anniversary of China’s accession to the IAEA. More than 200 participants, including IAEA representatives and foreign envoys to Vienna, attended the event.

Li Song, China’s permanent representative to the UN and other international organizations in Vienna, said at the reception that China and the IAEA have expanded practical cooperation and jointly promoted the development of nuclear energy over the past 40 years.

China, he said, will continue to strengthen collaboration with the IAEA and its member states to address emerging challenges in international security, safeguard the global non-proliferation regime, and promote the use of nuclear energy and technology for the benefit of the Global South.

At the reception, Liu, Li and IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi jointly unveiled a bronze statue of Qian Sanqiang, a renowned Chinese nuclear physicist and one of the founders of China’s nuclear industry.

The statue, donated by China, will be permanently displayed at the IAEA headquarters, alongside sculptures of Polish-French physicist Marie Curie and other prominent figures who have made significant contributions to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

The Ar-King of Spirits: Ed Arking’s Impact on the Liquor Industry

Published

September 21, 2024

In the interest of providing luxury liquors in a convenient and stress-free format, Served Neat was born. When asked about his intentions for the company, Ed states, “My goal with Served Neat is to create a one-stop shop where customers can easily discover these rare gems.”

MOORESTOWN, N.J., Sept. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Served Neat is an emerging online platform with a curated selection of some of the world’s most popular luxury spirits. The website offers daily flash deals that highlight a variety of high-end international brands including Pappy Van Winkle, Buffalo Trace, Clase Azul, and more.

“While there are websites selling spirits, none have the decades of experience that we bring from WTSO. Served Neat will offer not only incredible bottles but also the best customer service in the industry.”

Ed and Joe Arking, the father-son team behind the concept of Served Neat, have decades of experience hand-selecting and supplying sought-after liquors. Ed Arking, CEO of New Jersey’s Roger Wilco, grew up in the world of wine and spirits and formed his own business aspirations.

“Growing up, I watched my father navigate and succeed in the ever-evolving wine and spirits industry,” Ed explains. “While I always aspired to create something similar, I knew I needed to wait for the right moment.” Ed has gone on to manage his own liquor store and lead projects for up-and-coming brands, such as the vodka-infused and non-carbonated Smooth Water.

As he evolved in his career, Ed discovered the perfect time to make his lifelong vision a reality. He recalls, “I noticed a gap in the market—especially for whiskey and tequila. These categories have surged in popularity, making it difficult for the everyday consumer to find those elusive sought-after allocated bottles.”

When it comes to Served Neat, quality and knowledge is key. Ed adds, “While there are websites selling spirits, none have the decades of experience that we bring from WTSO. Served Neat will offer not only incredible bottles but also the best customer service in the industry.”

Served Neat is the sister company to WTSO and The Wine Market, two online platforms dedicated to sourcing and distributing top-notch wines from every corner of the globe.

At The Wine Market, an online marketplace for the world’s most popular wine brands, convenience and quality are key. Each bottle in their curated collection is a testament to exceptional flavor and craftsmanship.

Since 2006, WTSO has enjoyed creating a unique wine experience and sharing it with new beginners and seasoned connoisseurs alike. Using an extensive network of wineries and wine makers, WTSO connects customers to thousands of brands from top wine appellations around the globe. The strong relationships they’ve formed within the wine world allow the business to deliver authentic and high-quality bottles to homes across the United States.

Wine and spirits lovers alike are invited to explore Served Neat, WTSO, and The Wine Market to find their next favorite bottle. Visit their websites to learn more about these one-of-a-kind online marketplaces!
