ECOS News:March 22 – EcoloCap Positive Results in Chile Lead to AgreementA standstill agreement is in place pending a commitment that would cause FEI to absorb up to 100% of the production of M-Fuel production equipment and additiveEcoloCap Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: ECOS) is in a standstill period with Fuel Emulsions International, Inc. (FEI) of Miami, FL until March 31, 2012.
Under the proposed agreement, FEI is committed to purchase, own and operate all or most of EcoloCap`s manufactured processing equipment and additive for the production of M-Fuel and other specialty emulsion fuels.The proposed agreement has been in negotiation for the last three months and follows the successful testing of M-Fuel production by Energy Partners Chile (EPC), which shared its positive results with FEI.EcoloCap`s M-Fuel is the result of years of research and development. It has been an uphill battle for the market to recognize that the breakthrough technology can reduce diesel fuel consumption by up to 30% and particulate emissions up to 98%. In these times of $100/barrel oil, ECOS is fast gaining recognition and attracting the attention of leading users of heavy oils. The proposal ECOS has received is a testimonial to that recognition..The EcoloCap NPU line of equipment uses Nano Technology to produce M-Fuel an emulsification of typically 70% Diesel, Kerosene or other Heavy Fuel Oils, 28% water and 2% of an EcoloCap proprietary additive. Independent tests have indicated a reduction of particulate emissions of some 98% and NOX by 65% while producing almost the same efficiency as the original unprocessed fuel. The result is a reduction of up to 30% in the consumption of diesel fuel and depending upon fuel prices, cost savings can reach 25%..Michael Siegel, CEO of EcoloCap Solutions Inc. states: “First and foremost, I want to thank our shareholders who have stood by us over the past many months. Your faith in ECOS will not go unrewarded. We at EcoloCap did not stand still. We have been searching far and wide for the best partners to capitalize on our game changing technology.”BLUEPHOENIX SOLUTIONS LIMITED (NASDAQ: BPHX) “Up 18.06% on Thursday” Detailed Quote:

In connection with such assignment, the Company has agreed to pay $1.0 million, subject to certain conditions, as partial repayment of the loan, which is due in May 2012, if certain funds currently held in escrow by a third party are released to the Company.In addition, the Company entered into an agreement with the three shareholders to amend the terms of the loan following its assignment to them. The amendment includes extending the maturity date of the loan from May 2012 to May 1, 2014, and an increase of the interest rate to 6% per annum, with escalation clauses up to 9.5% if not repaid by certain dates following the maturity date, with such interest payable quarterly. The interest will be payable in the Company’s ordinary shares if the shareholders elect to receive such shares or if the Company elects so if it does not have available funds to pay the interest in cash. The number of ordinary shares to be issued will be calculated according to the 20-day volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s ordinary shares traded on the Nasdaq stock market prior to the payment date. The shareholders may elect to convert the outstanding balance of the loan and any accrued interest to the Company’s ordinary shares at a price of $3.00 per share at any time after the assignment. The revised loan agreement will contain restrictive covenants and provisions for acceleration of repayment or termination of the loan in certain events of default. In consideration of the amendment, the Company will issue to the three shareholders ordinary shares in an aggregate amount equal to 18.7% of the Company’s outstanding share capital as of the date of issuance.The Company also entered into a loan agreement with the three shareholders for a $0.5 million bridge loan due in one year with an interest rate of 8% per annum.

In either case, the number of ordinary shares to be issued will be calculated according to the lower of the 20-day volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s ordinary shares trading on the Nasdaq stock market prior to the respective payment date and $3.00 per share. The bridge loan contains provisions for acceleration of repayment in certain events specified in the loan agreement.The Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the three shareholders with respect to any ordinary shares issuable under the transactions discussed above.Consummation of the transactions discussed above is subject to certain conditions to closing as specified in the agreements, including approvals from the banks holding the first lien on the Company’s assets within the time frames specified in the agreements.Consummation of the transactions is also subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders (other than the three shareholders participating in the transactions and any other shareholders that have personal interest in the approval). The Bridge loan shall be extended to the Company upon obtaining the bank’s consent. If the shareholders’ approval is not obtained within certain time frames set forth in the bridge loan agreement, then the bridge loan will become due and payable in 60 days from extension of the bridge loan to the Company(or earlier in certain cases of defaults or acceleration events) and will bear only a nominal interest of 0.07% per annum.Consummation of the transactions will result in approximately $4.7 million (as of December 31, 2011) being reclassified from short term to long term debt.THERABIOGEN INCORPORATED (OTC: TRAB) “Up 150.00% on Thursday” Detailed Quote:
