Mr. McDonald has served as CFO and Treasurer since 2003 and was the second employee hired by the Company. As such, he played an instrumental part in the outstanding growth of the Company, overseeing the financial, accounting and administrative functions. Mr. McDonald also has been a key member of the executive team that created and executed the strategy that has developed tremendous shareholder wealth. Shareholders, the Board of Directors and staff have greatly benefited from Sterling\'s contributions and we wish him well in his retirement.<br /><br />Mr. McDonald commented, \"I am very fortunate to have worked with such a fine team in building a great company for our shareholders and creating value well in excess of our original expectations. I am confident that the management team and board of directors will continue Evolution\'s growth and success going forward.\"<br /><br />Robert Herlin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, \"It has been my distinct pleasure to work with Sterling these last 10 years. His significant and substantial contributions have helped to position the Company for its next stage of development, and I personally thank him for his service and commitment. He will be missed, and we are fortunate to be able to count on him to facilitate the transition to his successor.\"<br /><br />The Company has engaged a corporate recruiter to assist in identifying candidates to replace Mr. McDonald with an emphasis on oilfield services experience to help further commercialize its growing artificial lift technology business segment. Mr. McDonald will continue his present duties until his successor has been identified and elected by the Board of Directors to fill the roles of Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, which is expected to occur in January 2014. Mr. McDonald will be available to the Company as needed during its transition period.<br /><br />Promotion of New Officer<br /><br />In addition and as part of the recent restructuring of operations, the Board of Directors has elected David Joe, the current Controller and Corporate Secretary, to the additional positions of Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer.  Mr. Joe joined the Company in 2005 and since then has been a key member of the management team.<br /><br />Restructuring Detail<br /><br />The Company previously announced an operational restructuring in November 2013 that focuses on two core assets: the Delhi Field CO2 enhanced oil recovery project and the Company\'s patented GARP® artificial lift technology. As part of this effort, the Company completed the divestment of all of its remaining non-GARP® operated properties in December 2013. Accordingly, three members of the operations staff left the Company as of December 31, 2013. Under the severance policy adopted for the restructuring, the departing employees were provided severance in the amount of one year\'s cash compensation payable over twelve months and acceleration of unvested restricted stock awarded from 2010 through 2012. The same benefits are being provided to Mr. McDonald upon his retirement. These costs will be charged to the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013 and are estimated to be approximately $2.0 million pre-tax, of which $0.6 million will be noncash expense.<br /><br />As previously disclosed, employees and directors exercised more than 4 million of 4.8 million performance stock options and warrants awarded from 2004 through 2008, creating approximately $31 million of tax deductions that permanently reduce current and future taxable income up to such amount (the \"Deductions\"). A portion of the Deductions is expected to apply to fiscal 2014 tax year ending June 30, 2014. In addition to the permanent tax savings, the Deductions may cause recent and near-term cash distributions to shareholders to be treated as return of capital.<br /><br />On a financial reporting basis, the Deductions will be recorded as a reduction in current income taxes payable each year, offset by an increase in equity, in amounts equal to the cash taxes payable prior to the effect of the Deductions. The Deductions will only impact reported earnings by increasing the projected effective tax rate closer to the statutory rate in those years affected by the Deductions due to the percentage depletion deduction being delayed and carried forward.<br /><br />The Company will also record a one-time pre-tax expense during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 of approximately $0.65 million associated with the derivatives\' exercise due to incremental payroll tax associated with the derivative exercise and transaction expenses.<br /><br />Assuming a 34% statutory federal income tax rate, the approximate $10.8 million of current and future tax payments savings from the derivatives\' exercise and one-time charges, combined with a reduction in ongoing overhead due to the staff reductions, should substantially exceed the restructuring charges and the cost of expected staff growth associated with further commercialization of GARP®.<br /><br />All of the staff and directors of Evolution wish our departing employees continued success.<br /><br />About Evolution Petroleum<br /><br />Evolution Petroleum Corporation develops incremental petroleum reserves and shareholder value by applying conventional and specialized technology to known oil and gas resources, onshore in the United States.

(NYSE: KR) and Harris Teeter Supermarkets, Inc. (NYSE: HTSI) today announced that the merger transaction between the two companies was completed on January 28, 2014. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Harris Teeter shareholders will receive $49.38 per share of Harris Teeter common stock.<br /><br />\"We are pleased that our merger is complete and look forward to bringing together the best of Kroger and Harris Teeter to benefit our customers, associates and shareholders,\" said W. Rodney McMullen, Chief Executive Officer of Kroger. \"This merger brings the exceptional Harris Teeter brand and a complementary base of stores in attractive markets to the Kroger family. We have long respected Harris Teeter\'s customer orientation, friendly and professional associates, strong management team, and company values – which are consistent with ours. Together, through our Customer 1st Strategy, we are going to be an outstanding combination.\"<br /><br />Thomas W. Dickson, the outgoing Chairman and CEO of Harris Teeter Supermarkets, Inc., stated, \"We are excited that Kroger, one of the best food retailers in the U.S., has recognized the value in Harris Teeter.  This successful transaction is, first and foremost, a tribute to our outstanding management teams and associates.  Their tireless commitment to delivering great value and excellent customer service has been instrumental in building Harris Teeter into the unique brand that it is today.  The merger with Kroger provides the opportunity to continue to expand the Harris Teeter brand as well as to provide future employment and career advancement opportunities for our associates in an increasingly competitive market.  The merger also is the culmination of a long track record of delivering substantial value to our shareholders.\"<br /><br />The transaction allows Kroger to expand with the prestigious Harris Teeter brand and a base of 227 stores in the fast-growing and attractive southeastern and mid-Atlantic markets and in Washington, D.C.  Harris Teeter also operates distribution centers for grocery, frozen and perishable foods in Greensboro, NC and Indian Trail, NC and a dairy facility in High Point, NC.  Harris Teeter will continue to operate its stores under the Harris Teeter brand name as a subsidiary of The Kroger Co.  Harris Teeter had revenues of $4.7 billion for fiscal year 2013.<br /><br />Financial Highlights  <br />Kroger financed the transaction through a combination of debt issued in December 2013 and commercial paper. Although Kroger\'s net debt to EBITDA ratio increased due to the merger close, the company expects to allocate some free cash flow to debt reduction to re-establish and maintain its 2.00 – 2.20 net debt to EBITDA ratio over the next 18-24 months. Kroger is committed to maintaining its current investment grade credit rating. In addition, consistent with its long-term commitment to returning cash to shareholders, Kroger intends to continue its quarterly dividend and share repurchase program while managing free cash flow to reduce the leverage taken on in this merger. <br /><br />Including the effect of allocating some free cash flow to debt reduction, Kroger continues to expect net accretion to earnings per diluted share in the range of $0.06 – $0.09 in the first full year after the merger, excluding transition and transaction expenses, after taking into account the company\'s current 8-11% long-term net earnings per diluted share growth rate. Kroger expects to achieve cost savings of approximately $40 to $50 million, largely from the benefits of Kroger\'s enhanced scale, within the next four years.<br /><br />As of January 28, 2014, shares of Harris Teeter common stock ceased to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.<br /><br />Operational Profile<br />Together, the company will operate 2,641 supermarkets and employ more than 368,000 associates across 34 states and the District of Columbia.  Harris Teeter will continue to operate its stores as a subsidiary of The Kroger Co. and will continue to be led by Harris Teeter\'s current president, Fred Morganthall.  There are no plans to close stores, and associates will continue to have employment opportunities.  Kroger is headquartered in Cincinnati, OH and Harris Teeter\'s headquarters remains in Matthews, NC.<br /><br />Kroger and Harris Teeter both strive to play a vital role in all of the communities they serve. In 2012, Kroger invested more than $250 million in local communities to provide hunger relief and support for the military and their families, breast cancer awareness programs and more than 30,000 schools and grassroots organizations.  Harris Teeter similarly focuses community investments on feeding the hungry, supporting the military, and investing in local schools and youth sports organizations.  Harris Teeter\'s 2013 donations totaled nearly $8.3 million.<br /><br />Thomas W. Dickson to Retire as Chairman and CEO of Harris Teeter Supermarkets, Inc. <br />Kroger and Harris Teeter today announced the retirement of Thomas W. Dickson as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Harris Teeter Supermarkets, Inc. <br /><br />\"Tad has done an outstanding job as the CEO for the past 16 years,\" said Mr. McMullen. \"During his tenure as CEO, the management team of Harris Teeter has more than doubled the sales of the company and increased the operating profit fourfold by building over 100 new stores, expanding into new markets and improving the overall operating performance of the company. We look forward to working closely with the management team to continue to expand the Harris Teeter brand.\"<br /><br />Kroger and Harris Teeter also announced the resignation of John Woodlief, Executive Vice President, who has served as Chief Financial Officer since 1999.  Prior to that time, he served as managing partner of the PricewaterhouseCoopers Carolinas offices.

Pfeiffer\'s last day is scheduled to be Feb. 21, and Miller said the position would be outsourced until a replacement is hired.<br /><br />There was no public discussion of the resignation by the board, but members were clearly surprised.<br /><br />\"I am at a loss,\" said the Rev. Sulton Stack Jr., while leaving the meeting.<br /><br />In an interview afterward, Miller said Pfeiffer\'s decision was not related to an audit by the Department of Housing and Urban Development\'s inspector general, which questioned $1.6 million in expenses submitted to the federal government.<br /><br />Pfeiffer, who was not at Monday night\'s meeting, \"had been contemplating leaving for some time,\" Miller said. \"This is a very stressful job.\"<br /><br />Miller cited similar reasons behind his decision to turn down the offer to permanently run Bridgeport\'s public housing and to instead return to being deputy executive director with Elm City Communities, New Haven\'s housing authority.<br /><br />\"After a lot of thought, agonizing, talking to residents, I truly don\'t want to be an executive director,\" Miller said Monday. \"That job requires 12- to 16-hour days ... I think this is what\'s best for me and my own personal health.\"<br /><br />The Bridgeport Housing Authority borrowed Miller from New Haven last summer, following the sudden resignation of Executive Director Nicholas Calace. What began as a three-month assignment kept getting extended, until last fall the authority\'s Board of Commissioners, following a national search for an executive director, offered a two-year contract to Miller.<br /><br />He accepted the offer, but the contract was never finalized, and on Jan. 31, Miller broke the news to his staff that he planned to return to New Haven by the spring. He had not spoken to either his board or Mayor Bill Finch when Hearst Connecticut Media contacted him last week about his rumored resignation.<br /><br />At the time, Miller declined to explain his decision. But on Monday, he said he will be turning 62, and the birth of his now-7-month-old granddaughter and pending arrival of a second grandchild caused him to rethink how he would spend the next few years before retiring. His contract with New Haven is up in 2015.<br /><br />\"I figured out I have to live to 79 to see them both graduate from high school. That\'s daunting,\" Miller said. \"If I (worked in Bridgeport) for two years, it would be everything I have and all I have. Then what\'s left for me?\"<br /><br />Miller said when he arrived in Bridgeport, he inherited \"a mess.\" And while the authority board members, the mayor and many tenants say Miller has done a good job trying to rehabilitate the agency, the challenges show no signs of abating.<br /><br />On Wednesday, the authority is scheduled to begin meeting with HUD on the audit. HUD\'s inspector general concluded that the authority, during and before 2012, did not always ensure that expenses were reasonable and eligible. The authority faces having to reimburse HUD the $1.6 million as a result.<br /><br />Then there is the ambitious effort to replace the authority\'s aging 2,500 units with new developments, starting in the South End. That first phase has faced some stiff opposition and still needs zoning approvals.<br /><br />As acting director, Miller also handled crises daily. Several residents attended Monday\'s Housing Authority meeting to complain about poor heating, cold water and mold in their apartments -- all caused, Miller said, by bad roofing work and the authority\'s failure over the past four years to maintain a new boiler system.<br /><br />\"We need somebody in here to straighten this system out,\" complained Betty Wood, who has lived in public housing for 13 years. \"It\'s going backward instead of forward.\"<br /><br />Miller wrote down their problems in a red ledger and planned to follow up with each of the tenants.','','','\r\n	Bridgeport, CT- based Housing Authority has announced resignation of John Pfeiffer as Chief Financial Officer.\r\n',2,4,'http://www.ctpost.com/local/article/CFO-leaving-Bridgeport-Housing-Authority-5222898.php','','mirania',4,'John-Pfeiffer-Housing-Authority-Chief-Financial-Officer-Resigned',0,'2014-03-07',0),(11718,17589,15152,'Chief Financial Officer','Cathy Steiner has been appointment as Chief Financial Officer  at Sernova Corp.','2014-01-31','2014-01-31','Sernova Corp (TSX VENTURE:SVA) today announced that Ms. Cathy R.

Glass Handbag started four years ago.<br /><br />Nelson has another job as a real estate appraiser, making a little over $100,000 annually, but he says he hasn\'t managed to save anything for retirement. He put away $150,000, but that went to Glass Handbag. It doesn’t help that he is shuttling between two cities with a high cost of living: Las Vegas and New York, where he and his fiancee are moving.<br /><br />\"I haven\'t had any retirement [savings] for about five years, and it makes me very worried. Sometimes, I don\'t sleep well at night,\" Nelson says. \"The thought of knowing you can\'t survive without working, even for a short time, is very nerve-wracking.\"<br /><br />[Read: The Best Budgeting Strategies for the Self-Employed.]<br /><br />Unfortunately, there are a lot of people like Nelson lying awake at night.

Both executives have spent most of their careers working in oncology and drug discovery and bring decades of experience in their respective areas of expertise. MolecularHealth continues to build its workforce as it moves toward the launch of TreatmentMAP™, its cancer treatment decision support offering, in the first quarter of this year.<br /><br />Tim Cooley will serve as senior vice president of IT for MolecularHealth, working to put the systems and talent in place to manage the huge volume of data that the company will generate through its advanced analytics. Cooley has more than 20 years of experience in applying information technology for life sciences companies, with a unique background that combines business, science and IT. Most notably, he spent 15 years with Eli Lilly Corporation, where he held several roles, including director of IT at the Lilly Singapore Center for Drug Discovery. Cooley received a Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology from Texas A&M University and studied human genetics and biochemistry at Johns Hopkins.<br /><br />“We’re at an extremely exciting time at the crossroads of technology and science,” said Cooley. “At the end of the day, molecular diagnostics is an information business that relies on technology to harness data and deliver a product that meets both providers’ and patients’ needs. I’m looking forward to working with the MolecularHealth bioinformatics team as we offer this service to pathologists and oncologists.”<br /><br />Kevin Krenzke joins MolecularHealth as senior vice president of finance, where he will focus on building a scalable financial infrastructure for the company to support the expected rapid growth following commercial launch in early 2014. Krenzke has more than 17 years of finance and accounting experience, largely focused on specialty healthcare and oncology. His experience includes serving as the chief financial officer for one of the nation’s largest oncology practices, as well as financial, operating and strategy roles with McKesson Specialty Health and US Oncology. He is a certified public accountant and earned his Bachelor of Business Administration and Master in Professional Accounting degrees from the University of Texas at Austin.<br /><br />“After spending many years working in the oncology space, I understand the challenges in increasing both the quality and efficiency of care,” said Krenzke. “MolecularHealth offers a unique solution with the potential to improve patient outcomes while reducing adverse events and ineffective utilization of healthcare resources. I am happy to have the chance to work closely with the executive team to support the launch and market adoption of its services.”<br /><br />“As we get closer to launching TreatmentMAP, we’re focused on putting some crucial pieces into place, which includes our financial and IT systems,” said Lloyd Everson, Ph.D., CEO of MolecularHealth. “Kevin and Tim bring strong backgrounds not only in their own areas of expertise, but in applying their skills specifically to companies in the life sciences arena. They’ll both be great assets to our already strong executive team in Germany and the United States.”<br /><br />ABOUT MOLECULARHEALTH<br /><br />MolecularHealth delivers on the promise of personalized, precision medicine. By using advanced proprietary information technologies to sift through terabytes of genetic and molecular test findings in a fraction of the time needed for current manual analysis, MolecularHealth provides doctors and patients with faster, more accurate insights into the role genes play in the progression and treatment of an individual’s cancer.
