Getir

In recognition of Tackling Hunger Month and Children’s Health Month this October, ultrafast grocery delivery app Getir will allow customers to make direct donations to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign.

Getir’s funding will help support programs that feed children and can help provide 100,000 healthy meals*. Along with its contribution, Getir is encouraging its customers to donate to No Kid Hungry while placing delivery orders through its app for the next two weeks, until October 25.

Volatus Aerospace Adds Over 500,000 km of Oil & Gas Pipeline Right of Way Surveillance with Acquisition of Synergy Aviation Ltd.

Volatus Aerospace Corp.

Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV: VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") announced today that it has signed an arm's length definitive agreement dated Oct 12, 2022, to acquire Alberta-based Synergy Aviation Ltd. This acquisition will solidify Volatus’ position in Western Canada providing privileged access to much of the oil and gas industry. Synergy’s leadership in the sector combined with Volatus’ drone technology solutions will position the Company with a strong competitive advantage to introduce innovative, efficient, green, remotely operated drone solutions to fulfill regulatory and asset monitoring requirements. Founded in Alberta in 2014, Synergy Aviation is an industry leader in aerial surveillance, pipeline integrity monitoring, and specialized geomatics, patrolling and inspecting more than 500,000 KM of pipeline right of way stretching from the coast of British Columbia to the Manitoba/US border. The company provides Canada’s largest oil & gas producers and pipeline operators with uninterrupted, consistent and highly detailed right-of-way integrity data. “Pipeline inspection, much like other long linear inspection requirements, has traditionally been completed using crewed helicopters and small fixed wing aircraft,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “Leveraging Synergy’s oil & gas presence combined with our existing pipeline operations in Ontario will allow us to introduce the power of innovative drone solutions to meet regulatory compliance and asset management requirements with improved efficiencies and a material reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.” “There are nearly 5 million kilometers of oil & gas pipeline in North America requiring annual inspections and, in many cases, weekly patrols to meet regulatory and asset management requirements,” said Todd Tkach, President of Synergy Aviation. “Becoming part of Volatus gives us the added geomatics capabilities, market reach, and the opportunity to disrupt traditional methods in this sector.” Synergy recorded unaudited revenues of $7 million with a 14% EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) during the first nine months of 2022 and is targeting year end revenues of $9 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Volatus will make an equity investment of $2.29 million in Synergy Aviation over the course of 10 months from closing in exchange for newly issued shares that will represent 51% of all outstanding shares. The investment will be used by Synergy for ongoing expansion activities. The transaction is scheduled to close on October 31 st conditional on satisfactory completion of due diligence, approval of the respective Board of Directors, and regulatory approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. Subject to operational and financial metric as defined in the definitive agreement, the Synergy investors will have an option, expiring in December 2024, to sell the remaining 49% equity to Volatus at the same valuation at Closing in exchange of Volatus shares based on 30 days VWAP (volume weighted average price) on date of Closing. This announcement marks another step in a series of interrelated technology, regulatory, and commercial milestones intended to drive and scale the commercialization of drone technologies. Recent announcements include the launch of the Aerieport drone nesting station, regulatory authority to remotely operate a drone at an airport, the remote operation of drones in Las Vegas from our operations center 3,000 km away, and most recently, a collaboration agreement with Accipiter Radar to provide for larger scale deconfliction between drones and low flying aircraft. The combination of these events with other Volatus technologies provides large scale opportunities in oil and gas, power distribution, and rail throughout the markets served by Volatus. About Volatus Aerospace: Volatus Aerospace Corp. is a leading provider of integrated drone solutions throughout North America and growing into Latin America and globally. Volatus serves civil, public safety, and defense markets with imaging and inspection, security and surveillance, equipment sales and support, training, as well as R&D, design, and manufacturing.

Misha on Wheels gets his hands on a Bugatti Chiron, and never gives it back…

Misha on Wheels

Alexandre Mourreau, the owner of a brand new Bugatti Chiron, was facing a slight issue before leaving the city. First, he was in a hurry but most importantly, the airport authorities were nonchalant to let him leave his 1,500bhp supercar in one of their pristine hangars. In times like these, good friends are a godsend and in Alexandre’s case, the good friend turned to be Misha, from one of the most cinematic car review channels on YouTube - Misha on Wheels. His job was to pick up the car and attentively care for it, but Misha did what Misha does best, and brought his team together to film another absolute gem of an automotive review. Oh, and did we mention that we are talking about the Bugatti Chiron? Drifting the Bugatti Chiron The Bug is not a normal car. It is a spaceship that bends the laws of physics and mind. It accelerates harder than anything else on the market, costs more than anything else on the market, and grips like a 2-tonne car shouldn’t. Wizardry? Definitely not! Instead, it should be righteously considered to be one of the greatest feats of human achievement in science and engineering. As soon as Mourreau’s helicopter hid between the mountains of Switzerland, the team behind Misha on Wheels car YouTube channel started cooking up the plan. They just couldn’t let the opportunity go, and not review the Chiron in style. And what you are about to witness, is exactly that. The most basic question of whether Bugatti Chiron is a good drift car was resolved right in the hangar. Can a four-wheel drive, 2-tonne car drift? Perhaps, if you are driving really fast and kick the handbrake would be a good answer, but this is where 1,500bhp and a supercar tag enter the chat. Turn the wheel, floor the pedal and you enter a perfectly predictable drift, that can be carried on until the last drop of fuel. Still, this is not what Chiron and Misha on Wheels are all about. Games were quickly over and the team took to the motorway and mountain passes. A very mature hypercar Bugatti Chiron needs no introduction and it is by most, considered to be the king of them all. The hypercar was first introduced in 2016, and by January 2022 all cars had been sold. Not manufactured yet, but sold. Needless to say, this became quite a scary review for the team, as damaging the $3,000,000 hypercar would have meant nothing but trouble. This is where the technological advancements come in. As per Misha’s comments, the Chiron is not a freak. It is an incredibly mature creation, one that can handle and drive softly, but turn into a time machine when you need it to. Sitting in a simple, yet incredibly charismatic cockpit, you sit and witness the world at a speed that no other car is capable of delivering. Somewhat an exaggeration, but driving is all about emotions and every kilogram of the Chiron is it. Alexandre never saw his car back. About Misha on Wheels YouTube is packed to the brink with car review channels. Misha on Wheels was created to become a place for a different kind of reviews. The kind, for those who care about cinematography and insight on cars that is based on emotions, not dry numbers and statistics. The channel was nominated for the International Motor Film Awards in 2021 and remains to be the best-kept secret of the automotive YouTube community.
