TORONTO, Dec. 6, 2024 /CNW/ – OMNI Conversion Technologies Inc. (OMNI), a clean energy technology company, announces the commencement of a sale and investment solicitation process (SISP) in respect of the business, assets, and undertakings of OMNI (collectively, the Business). OMNI manufactures the proprietary Omni200 Gasification and Plasma Refining System, a waste-to-value gasification system designed to convert any solid energetic material into clean energy, including hydrogen, renewable natural gas, and sustainable aviation fuel. The SISP will be conducted by Grant Thornton Limited (GTL) in its capacity as proposal trustee (in such capacity, the Proposal Trustee), with the assistance of OMNI.

The SISP will be conducted in the context of the Company’s Notice of Intention to make a Proposal proceedings (NOI) wherein the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the Court) issued on November 29, 2024 an order authorizing the Proposal Trustee, in conjunction with the Company, to undertake a SISP for the sale of OMNI’s business.

The SISP is intended to solicit interest in and opportunities for a sale of, or investment in, all or part of the Company’s Business. This may include one or more of a restructuring, recapitalization, or other form of reorganization of the business and affairs of all or part of the Company as a going concern, or a sale of all, substantially all, or a portion of the Company’s Business as a going concern or otherwise. 

Interested parties who wish to submit a bid must deliver a non-binding letter of intent to the Proposal Trustee in accordance with the SISP by no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on January 17, 2025 (the Phase I Bid Deadline). The Proposal Trustee and the Company will assess the letters of intent received on or before the Phase I Bid Deadline and may proceed to a second phase of the process (Phase 2) or alternatively, proceed to negotiate definitive transaction documentation with a bidder or terminate the SISP. Should the SISP proceed to Phase 2, qualified bidders will be notified. Any transaction will be subject to the approval of the Court.

A copy of the SISP, and other relevant documentation relating to the NOI are available on the Proposal Trustee’s website: www.DoaneGrantThornton.ca/OMNI. Any party interested in participating in the SISP can find a copy of the solicitation letter and non-disclosure agreement (NDA) on the Proposal Trustee’s website, and may gain access to due diligence materials and the confidential information memorandum by executing the NDA and emailing it to David.collins@doane.gt.ca, subject line “OMNI NDA – Bidder Name”.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
