Though Poroto scored an incredible 5 goals overall, and Bray scored in the 6th and final chukker, both of Catamount, to bring it to 11-8, there just wasn't enough time for a comeback. Tamera clinched their win with a thrilling goal by Coppola to make the final score 12-8.

Luxembourg, Apr 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Moolec Science SA (NASDAQ:MLEC) ("The Company" or "Moolec"), a science-based food ingredient company focused on producing animal proteins and nutritional oils in plants, today announced that it has entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "BCA") with Bioceres Group Limited ("Bioceres Group") and other related entities in an all-stock transaction (the "Business Combination"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the BCA, which was signed on April 17, 2025, several parties will transfer their respective holdings in Bioceres Group, Nutrecon LLC ("Nutrecon"), and Gentle Technologies Corp ("Gentle Tech", and together with Bioceres Group and Nutrecon, the "Contributed Entities"), resulting in an enlarged corporate structure with Moolec as the parent company. In exchange, Moolec will issue a combination of up to 87 million newly issued shares and 5 million warrants to the shareholders of the Contributed Entities, as more fully described below in the Timing and Approvals section.Federico Trucco, Bioceres Group's board member and CEO of Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp commented: "The need to accelerate agricultural innovation to address current and future challenges, such as enhancing on-farm profitability and reducing environmental impact, is increasingly evident. Molecular farming, as exemplified by Moolec Science, offers a compelling solution to the challenge of balancing productivity and sustainability. For instance, what soybean yield technology can rival the direct production of 300kg of animal protein from a 3-ton-per-hectare crop?" He then finished: "Moolec's recent transformational transaction represents the kind of bold action needed to drive radical change in agriculture. Integrating technologies and capabilities, along with a holistic perspective on agricultural evolution, are essential for moving beyond incremental improvements. Scale and visibility, both of which are key aspects of this transaction, are crucial to achieving this goal. Bioceres is enthusiastic to be part of a larger, more ambitious Moolec, one that expands its focus from science in food ingredients to a comprehensive ‘cradle-to-cradle' approach."Juan Sartori, Founder and Chairman of Union Group remarked: "This is not just a strategic alignment of businesses, it's the creation of a new kind of company for the 21st century. By combining science, scale, and sustainability, Moolec is positioned to lead a global transformation in how we produce food, materials, and energy. I'm proud to support this vision and the exceptional teams bringing it to life."Following the closing of the Business Combination, Moolec will become uniquely positioned in the agricultural value-chain, with a powerful and validated technology discovery and development engine that can address in a cost-competitive way multiple upstream and downstream needs. Moolec's new value proposition will be centered around modifying or improving seeds and microbes to positively impact the way we utilize land and water resources, while preserving and/or improving human health.Alejandro Antalich, Chairman of Synbio Powerlabs® added: "This combination marks a defining moment for the bioeconomy. By integrating next-gen ingredients, biological ag solutions, and deep-tech manufacturing capabilities under one roof, we are building a company with unmatched scientific depth and commercial reach. Together, we aim to accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable and resilient food system, one that works in harmony with nature, rather than against it."As stated in their most recent annual reports, the companies and brands, which will be controlled or co-controlled by Moolec at the closing of the Business Combination, manage a portfolio of more than 800 patents (or patent applications) and over 550 product registrations, which translates into more than half a billion dollars of goods and services sold in their last fiscal year, to customers in more than 50 different countries.José López Lecube, CFO and Director of Moolec commented: "This transformative transaction marks a new stage for Moolec, positioning the company for growth within a broader organization that facilitates synergies on multiple levels. Becoming part of a larger organization will enable cost efficiencies and significant revenue increase as well as product portfolio diversification. It will also enlarge our investor base, providing the company with new stakeholders who support Moolec's new and more diversified business."Finally, as reported Mr. Gastón Paladini will step down as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Director and Chairman of the Board, effective immediately following Moolec's Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") to be held on April 22, 2025.Key highlights:Ingredient Innovation: Moolec will continue to develop its flagship molecular farming products such as Piggy Sooy™ and GLASO™, while integrating Mycofood™ under the Eternal® brand from Nutrecon.Biological Ag Expansion: Through Bioceres Group, Moolec will now offer upstream technologies for regenerative agriculture, including biological inputs and climate-resilient seeds like Rizobacter®, ProFarm®, and the HB4® trait.Advanced R&D and Services: Leveraging expanded infrastructure, Moolec will offer R&D, CDMO, and regulatory services under the Agrality® and Synbio Powerlabs® brands, which are controlled or co-controlled by Bioceres Group and Nutrecon, respectively.Emerging Tech & Equipment: The Company will also expand its reach into emerging technologies for grain and biomass transformation, especially in the biomaterials space, as well as new concepts on farm equipment, integrating material science, electric mobility, and autonomy. These emerging opportunities are being pursued by Gentle Tech and Bioceres Group subsidiaries.Operational Synergies: The Business Combination is expected to result in significant cost synergies and an integrated management structure, which will be presented at or prior to closing of the Business Combination.Timing and ApprovalsThe Business Combination was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of all the entities participating in the deal. It is expected to close during the second quarter of 2025 or thereafter, and it is subject to finalizing Moolec's reverse stock split process and re-domicile to the Cayman Islands among other customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. This includes the approval by Moolec's shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders of proposals relating to the Business Combination. Given that the transaction was originally proposed by about 70% of Moolec's current shareholders, the Company expects strong shareholder support for the Business Combination approval.The Business Combination will be consummated through an equity exchange. Bioceres Group's shareholders will surrender their share ownership in Bioceres Group and will receive in exchange up to 80,590,280 shares of Moolec. The shareholders of 100% of Nutrecon and 50% of Gentle Tech will surrender their ownership in these two entities and will receive in exchange 6,475,000 shares of Moolec and 5,000,000 warrants of Moolec at a strike price of $2.00 per warrant, subject to adjustment based on the results of the reverse stock split process.The intrinsic value of the exchange ratio and the $2 strike price of warrants represent both a compelling premium to Moolec's current stock price, and a unique opportunity to assemble one of the most formidable public companies in the agricultural industry.Description of Contributed Entities and AssetsThe Contributed Entities consist of Bioceres Group and its subsidiaries, Nutrecon and its subsidiaries and Gentle Tech and its subsidiaries.Bioceres GroupBioceres Crop Solutions Corp.

Saudi Arabia, Apr 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CFOs in the digital era do more than just run the financial operations of the organization: They now also sit atop the organization where they lead the charge toward financial digitization. CFOs have an eminent role to play here in driving process standardization and automation efforts and ensuring that their organizations on board with technologies such as RPA, AI, and machine learning. With the continuous advancement of these technologies, however, the CFO is left wrestling with the issue of assessing critically which of these instruments would add real value and which ones are simply trends. A CFO should confirm that he or she does not show any biases and will also use sound judgment in arriving at decisions with respect to new technologies rather than blindly following the latest fad. Achieving this balance while navigating a dynamic environment is the major challenge of today's CFO: the technocrat should balance the adoption of technology with corporate foresight, with the understanding that innovation should facilitate long-term financial goals and operational efficiency.In the Middle East, there’s a growing misunderstanding about the roles of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs), which is creating challenges for effective financial leadership and overall business performance. While CPAs are focused on compliance, audits, and ensuring financial accuracy, CFOs are responsible for steering the company’s overall financial health.The 25th Edition CFO Leadership Summit, taking place on April 23rd, 2025, at the Radisson Blu Minhal in Saudi Arabia, will help address this by bringing together over 200 finance leaders to dive into the latest trends and disruptions in the industry.

Saudi Arabia, Apr 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Saudi Arabia, as a developing country, has achieved tremendous progress in changing its human resources development (HRD) sector, but it still faces hurdles in aligning its workforce with the needs of rapid economic growth. Despite recent social and economic reforms, Saudi labour markets continue to struggle to fulfil the country's changing economic needs. Human Resource Development is crucial to this change, serving as an indicator of the country's social, cultural, and economic growth. The National Human Resource Development (NHRD) framework empowers HR professionals to go beyond company talent development and address larger national challenges. This framework serves to highlight labour market concerns while also ensuring that HRD policies are adapted to the needs of the future workforce.The Human Capability Development Program (HCDP), started in 2021 as part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, intends to empower citizens while also increasing global competitiveness. The HCDP is intended to produce a competitive national workforce by emphasizing value promotion, future skill development, and knowledge enhancement. To do this, continual analysis of NHRD policies is required to align labour demands and supply, resulting in successful workforce planning for long-term national growth. This strategic strategy is critical for providing the Saudi workforce with the skills needed to face future problems.Overview of the event:The 4th Edition of the HR World Summit, themed "Unlocking the Future of Human Potential," is a premier, invitation-only event that brings together over 200 HR leaders and experts.

Trade attendees gathered in anticipation for the opening day of IASEA 2025.SINGAPORE, Apr 21, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The 8th edition of inter airport Southeast Asia (IASEA) was held in Singapore from 25-27 March 2025. Spanning across 6,259 sqm of exhibition space, the airport exhibition and conference brought together 3,621 industry trade professionals from 53 countries and regions, and featured 134 exhibiting companies including pavilions representing Germany, Italy, Japan and Singapore.The event saw a 43% increase in exhibitor size and a 15.6% rise in attendee numbers, underscoring the rising significance of IASEA as a platform for productive discussions. The event's achievement is also attributed to the increasing demands of operators and the rapid development and expansion of airports in Asia.The landmark event in Asia featuring the latest innovations and solutions for airportsIASEA serves as the dedicated event for airports, airlines, aviation authorities, ground handlers and related business executives in Asia to learn about and experience the latest products, services and technologies, for the future development of Asia’s airports.One of the highlights of this year’s edition was the presence of a delegation of leaders from major international airports in Vietnam, including Long Thanh International Airport—one of the world's most expensive greenfield airport projects—Noi Bai Airport, Danang Airport, Cat Bi Airport, Phu Quoc Airport, and Cam Ranh International Terminal.One of Airports Corporation of Vietnam’s (ACV) primary objectives in the coming years is the successful completion and operation of Long Thanh International Airport. Under the direction of the Prime Minister of Vietnam, the presence of ACV’s delegation at IASEA 2025 was to seek high-quality solutions and potential partners for this airport. Mr. Nguyen Cao Cuong, Deputy General Director, Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), shared during his opening remarks, “Vietnam, as one of the fastest-growing aviation markets in the world, is actively developing key airport infrastructure projects to meet the increasing demand for air transport. This event is not only an opportunity to explore the latest advancements in aviation technology but also serves as a platform for collaboration and exchange, fostering stronger partnerships to enhance airport infrastructure across Southeast Asia."Attendees explored innovative airport solutions on the IASEA 2025 exhibition floor.First-time exhibitor Thales participated to expand business opportunities with regional aviation players and introduce solutions such as its latest Fly-to-Gate biometrics solution that enables a touchless, fast, and easy passenger journey from check-in to boarding. Thales commented, “Air traffic has fully recovered since the pandemic years. The increase of major projects and the prioritisation of data (data management, data sharing, data security) from airport decision-makers have grown vastly within the industry. At Thales, we recognise that data will improve efficiency in airport operations – namely terminal operations, aircraft turnaround, passenger flow – beyond what hardware can achieve. However, these advancements also come with challenges, including cybersecurity and leveraging data while keeping airport operations human-centric. Our participation at the conference and exhibition of IASEA 2025 allowed us to connect and engage in discussions with several airport and aviation representatives. We were also able to share Thales’ expertise in airport operations and security, cybersecurity resilience, and biometric solutions, all for a seamless passenger experience.”Smiths Detection, a global leader in threat detection and security screening technologies, introduced the SDX 10060 XDi to the Asia market – a leading-edge X-ray scanner that offers highly accurate material discrimination and substance identification based on an object’s molecular structure. “We are glad to be back at IASEA, a key platform for us to showcase our latest solutions and connect with both customers and prospects because the show attracts aviation leaders from across the region,” said Desmond Lian, Senior Solutions Consultant, Smiths Detection (Asia Pacific) Pte. Ltd. “It was especially meaningful to reconnect with major airports such as Narita International Airport Corporation, as we discuss each other’s long-term plans and areas of collaboration. Such conversations make me hopeful for stronger integration of AI and security systems across the air and land side of the aviation industry. I hope to see the development of an architecture platform where different industry players can share and communicate data, and tackle cybersecurity issues as an ecosystem.”Additionally, Mallaghan, one of the fastest-growing airport Ground Support Equipment (GSE) manufacturers (headquartered in Ireland and with a worldwide presence), returned to the 8th edition of IASEA 2025. Niall Mallaghan, Director at Mallaghan, shared, “IASEA has always been one of our go-to exhibitions for the Asia Pacific region because of the opportunities to meet leading suppliers and our customers such as dnata and SATS. While the industry traditionally relied on diesel-powered GSE, Mallaghan, together other industry leaders, have recognised the impact of electrifying ground handling equipment as an effective route towards greener aviation. At Mallaghan, we strive to enable airports to reach their sustainability goals by working closely with the ground handlers.”Conversations that focused on resilient, data-driven airportsIn line with this year’s theme, “Airport Operations for Tomorrow”, the conference and exhibition floor saw timely conversations on the use of technology – more specifically, data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) – to drive resilient airports of tomorrow. “With the ever-increasing complexities of running an airport, the chances of something going awry also rise significantly. Thus, keeping airport operations resilient is paramount,” said David Jea, GM, Safety, Security & Business Continuity, Airport Authority Hong Kong. “As a conference speaker of this year’s IASEA, I’m thankful for the opportunity to engage with peers on aviation security, and the exposure to the full range of innovations for airport operations, with my greatest harvest being the appreciation of technology for optimised operations. The airports of tomorrow necessitate industry players to use AI and other technologies effectively, ensuring the solutions adopted are advanced and secure, workers are trained with more proficient skill sets, and the industry continues to attract professionals.”Industry experts at one of the IASEA 2025 terminal operations panels ‘Future-Proofing Airport Security: Balancing Safety, Technology & Passenger Experience’As of 2024, Asia Pacific holds over 40% of the global aircraft orders, signifying a strong focus on fleet investment and renewal for the region. Ensuring airports keep up with this projected regional growth, the panel titled ‘Using Data Analytics to Optimise Airport Operations’ dived into the challenges and opportunities of harnessing data analytics to drive innovation and ensure sustainable growth in airport operations. Industry leaders acknowledged that airports typically generate a wealth of live data that can help to enhance the passenger experience. However, a core challenge is in utilising this data – the industry is looking to integrate all data on a single system for real-time processing, while ensuring security measures are in place in the face of cyber threats. Separately, on the ground handling side, the conference panel ‘Boosting Operational Resilience: Preparing for the Unexpected’ gave a comprehensive overview of how ground handling teams can build robust operations that withstand unforeseen challenges of equipment failures, staffing shortages, and extreme weather. Panellists emphasised the role of ground handlers in adapting to unique equipment and processes deployed across individual airports. Disruptions can come in many forms. Hence, it is imperative for the ground handlers to work closely with the airports (with diverse teams across different airports) to analyse big data, address the disruption, and re-instil confidence in passengers.inter airport SEA will return for its 9th edition in 2027, from 23-25 March.
