MELBOURNE, Australia, March 18, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Bluechiip Limited (asx:BCT) ("Bluechiip," or the "Company"), a developer and manufacturer of a unique chain of custody tracking and monitoring system initially for the healthcare and life sciences sector, today announced that it has retained MZ Group as its investor relations advisor in Australia and the U.S.

MZ Group will assist Bluechiip with communicating its corporate strategy, financial developments and technology advancements to shareholders and investors, as well as expanding its shareholder base, particularly in North America.

"Our expanding presence in the U.S. and acceleration in customer interest worldwide makes MZ an ideal investor relations partner," stated Brett Schwarz, Chief Executive Officer of Bluechiip. "After spending the last nine years developing our proprietary, MEMS-based chain of custody tracking and monitoring system, we have started to ramp our commercialization efforts, with an initial focus on the dynamic and growing biobanking and biorepository markets. With established leaders such as STMicroelectronics and Plexus as our manufacturing partners, Early Adopter Program (EAP) partners of ATCC and Gentris and Micronic America as a distributor, we are well positioned to achieve success in this multi-billion dollar market."

Ted Haberfield, President of MZ Group North America, stated, "Bluechiip possesses all of the qualities we look for in an ideal client - a differentiated technology in a large and growing market; a scalable and highly profitable business model; a seasoned management team; and a solid capital position. We will leverage our strong presence in Australia and North America to help Bluechiip expand their shareholder base and achieve the valuation commensurate with an emerging technology company."

About Bluechiip Limited

Bluechiip has developed a wireless tracking solution for the healthcare and life science, security, defence and manufacturing industries which represents a generational change from current methods such as labels (hand-written and pre-printed), barcodes (linear and 2D) and microelectronic integrated circuit (IC)-based RFID (Radio Frequency Identification).

The unique tag is based on MEMS technology and contains no electronics. The tag can either be embedded or manufactured into a storage product, such as vials or bags. Easy identification, along with any associated information from the tag such as temperature can be detected by a reader, which can also sense the temperature of the tagged items. The traditional identification technologies have significant limitations. Whereas a barcode requires a visible tag or line-of-sight optical scan, bluechiip® technology does not. Unlike labels, barcodes and RFID, the bluechiip® technology can sense the temperature of each item a tag is attached to, or embedded in.

The bluechiip® technology has initial applications in the healthcare industry particularly those businesses which require cryogenic storage facilities (biobanks and biorepositories). bluechiip® offers the only technology that enables accurate and reliable tracking of products including stem cells, cord blood, and other biospecimens. In addition to functioning in extreme temperatures, the bluechiip® tracking solution can survive autoclaving, gamma irradiation sterilization, humidification, centrifuging, cryogenic storage and frosting.

The bluechiip® technology has other healthcare applications in pathology, clinical trials and forensics. Several other key markets outside of healthcare include cold-chain logistics/supply chain, security/defence, industrial/manufacturing and aerospace/aviation.

Media Interactive becomes part of Attitude Group and both operations are integrated

Media Interactive, one of Brazil‘s pioneering digital agencies, with offices in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and more than 12 years in the market, announced today its merger with Attitude Digital, a subsidiary of the Attitude Group. This strategic move by Media Interactive concludes another stage of its business expansion process, begun in 2012 with the inauguration of its office in Rio de Janeiro, and aligns its founding partners - who will continue to lead the Company - with the creation of value to shareholders of the Attitude Group (including Jardim Botânico Investimentos private equity fund).

The partnership will allow the companies to optimize costs and provide quality to the disclosure of mandatory information, through an integrated service platform

São Paulo, February 6, 2013 - MZ Group, the world’s the largest independent company specializing in investor relations, in partnership with REAL Publicidade, one of Brazil’s largest legal publicity agencies, has just announced the formation of a joint venture for legal publicity consulting. The purpose is to offer services through an integrated platform targeting the companies’ legal departments, providing clients with intelligent processes and reduced costs.

According to Marcos Ribeiro, CEO of REAL Publicidade, "it is an innovative service, which allows the companies to conduct their legal publicity in order to maximize their exposure to the capital markets, enabling the compliance with prevailing legislation and budget optimization".

It will occur, according to Ribeiro, thanks to a specialized consulting service that will analyze, on a more personalized approach, the actual necessity of each company for such publicity.

"Nowadays the companies must make investments only in what will bring effective return. The legal publicity market needs a more specific consulting service, which guides the companies on what is mandatory and what can be done to achieve a better result," says Rodrigo Alves, CEO of MZ Group in Latin America.

Alves believes that this partnership may offer a complete one-stop-shop solution for the companies’ legal departments, similar to what is already offered to investor relation areas. "Besides legal publications and consulting service, we will offer on an integrated basis the filing of corporate documents with registries of commerce, translation into and from foreign languages of legal and financial documents, as well as the automation of governance and boards of directors activities through the Boardvantage," he concludes.

For the legal publicity market as a whole, which currently trades around R$80 million in Brazil, the MZ Group and REAL joint venture was formed to compete in a relatively unfragmented market with few business opportunities.

A atração de fundos norte-americanos focados em PMEs é uma das propostas do PAC-PME e irá incrementar demanda em ofertas públicas iniciais de empresa brasileiras, além de contribuir com melhor valuation

São Paulo, 12 de dezembro de 2012 - O Grupo MZ (www.mzgroup.com) e o OTC Markets (www.otcmarkets.com) anunciam sua estratégia unificada para incentivar a demanda de ofertas públicas iniciais (IPOs) de pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs) no Bovespa Mais. Por meio dessa iniciativa, PMEs brasileiras passarão a ter a possibilidade de acessar o mercado norte-americano de investidores institucionais acostumados a esses ativos, o que permite dois benefícios principais: (i) maior demanda no book building; e (ii) melhor valorização das PMEs brasileiras. Posteriormente ao IPO, a PME terá a oportunidade de ter um programa de ADR nível 1 listado na OTCQX (nos termos da legislação americana), de forma a ganhar mais visibilidade e potencializar liquidez (mercado mais eficiente que o de balcão tradicional): 75% dos investidores com apenas 10% da complexidade, comparativamente a NYSE ou NASDAQ.

Oito empresas brasileiras (ver quadro abaixo) estão atualmente listadas na OTCQX, o que lhes permite acessar o mercado norte-americano de investidores institucionais, sem os custos regulatórios de uma listagem completa: compliance tradicional dos programas ADRs níveis 2 ou 3 na NYSE ou na NASDAQ, formulários SEC (advogados, XBRL, etc.) e regras da Sarbanes-Oxley.

Andrew Kyzyk, Diretor Executivo do OTC Markets e Líder do OTCQX International, que participou ontem de um evento em São Paulo sobre o assunto, afirmou que "PMEs brasileiras listadas no Bovespa Mais podem acessar investidores norte-americanos institucionais desde que tenham um programa patrocinado de ADR nível 1. A plataforma da OTCQX é totalmente eletrônica e permite que investidores operem por meio de todas as grandes corretoras on-line e de serviço completo dos EUA, incluindo: Schwab, E*TRADE, Scottrade, TD Ameritrade e Fidelity."

Etapa anterior a esse eventual programa de ADR nível 1 (que não contempla oferta de novas ações) e respectiva listagem na OTCQX, a PME brasileira precisará concretizar seu IPO e estar listada no Bovespa Mais. Nesse sentido, a atração de investidores qualificados norte-americanos acostumados a investimentos em ativos de menor liquidez e com maior potencial de crescimento deverá ocorrer com um programa estruturado de oferta nos EUA (144A). O Grupo MZ catalisa esse processo por meio de relacionamento estreito com esses fundos, adquirido ao longo de mais de 10 anos de atuação com PMEs americanas e chinesas, além da identificação de bancos/corretoras para turbinar o processo (tais como Maxim ou Oppenheimer) e assegurar research das PMEs brasileiras.

"Essa estratégia está alinhada com as propostas do Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento para Pequenas e Médias Empresas (PAC-PME) - www.pacpme.com.br, contribuindo para resolver um dos pontos principais do atual ciclo vicioso do mercado de capitais brasileiro: baixa demanda por ativos de menor liquidez e de maior risco intrínseco", afirma John Mattio, Vice-presidente do Grupo MZ nos EUA. "Considerando que uma das sugestões do PAC-PME contempla um crédito tributário ao emissor, o maior custo do IPO pela agregação de uma oferta nos EUA se compensa, e a PME obtém mais demanda e melhor valuation para o seu IPO", conclui John Mattio.

"Listar na OTCQX não significa segurança absoluta quanto a maior liquidez e melhor valuation pós-IPO. É essencial desenvolver um trabalho específico de targeting de investidores e de atração de atenção de analistas de sell-side desse segmento os EUA. Uma ação de PME brasileira é como um produto novo importado que entra em um hipermercado. Se não houver um comprometimento em divulgar tal produto junto ao público alvo (marketing, presença digital, targeting contínuo, research de corretores locais, follow up de ações, etc.), esse correrá o risco de envelhecer na prateleira e não girar o estoque", concluiu Rodrigo Alves, Presidente do Grupo MZ na América Latina.

Yesterday five stock exchanges in São Paulo (BM&F Bovespa), New York (Nasdaq OMX ), Johannesburg, Istanbul and Cairo signed a document agreeing to promote sustainable long-term investments in their markets, in the expectation that investors and more than 4,600 listed companies in their markets will adhere to certain environmental, social and corporate governance standards. Brazilian companies also released a letter yesterday with ten commitments to sustainable and inclusive development.

Supachai Panitchpakdi, the UNCTAD General Secretary, shares the same opinion on the market as Maria Helena Santana, Chairman of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM): governments should promote the adoption of measures such as the obligation to publish sustainability reports and even make such reports mandatory, so that investors become more aware when investing.

The agreement underlines the importance attached to sustainability reports, currently published by only 20 companies in Brazil. According to Jorge Zhan - director of UNCTAD´s investment and enterprise division - the agreement also serves as a message to governments participating in the Rio +20 Conference by demonstrating that companies and exchanges are already committing to sustainability.

Voting rises in virtual meetings

By: Denise Carvalho (dcarvalho@brasileconomico.com.br)

For companies listed on BM&FBovespa in Brazil, shareholder voting via virtual meetings continues to grow. Through the process of a digital certificate, investors can vote from anywhere in the world, without attending the actual meeting.

Acceptance of this voting format and growth in this segment is confirmed by Assembleias Online, developed by MZ Group., which experienced considerable growth in its remote meetings for the quarter ending April 30, 2012.

For the recent meeting season conducted from January through April, MZ Group, which represents 90% of the market share in this segment, registered 315 votes cast by proxy at meetings of 19 companies, including Petrobras, BM&FBovespa, Cielo and Lupatech. This represents a doubling of votes recorded for the same period last year (at 140 votes) and is just shy of the 384 votes recorded for the entire past year. Petrobras, led by Graca Foster, received the greatest number of electronic votes with a total of 84 out of the 315.

Na busca por completar atividades e ampliar a oferta de serviços, as agências de comunicação foram às compras. De acordo com o Anuário Brasileiro de Comunicação Corporativa, do Comunique-se, de 817 operações de fusões e aquisições ocorridas no Brasil em 2011, 59 envolveram empresas de telecomunicações e mídia, um salto de 110,7% comparado a 2010.

A estratégia para crescer rapidamente e a busca pela internacionalização guiou a consolidação dos grupos MZ e MVL para a criação da Atatitude Global. As uniões da In Press Porter Novelli com a Media Guide Comunicação e da Approach com a Marca Comunicação são apenas alguns exemplos da movimentação do setor no ano passado.

"O mercado fragmentado das agências dá lugar a empresas de maior porte para atender o mercado interno e externo", afirma Rodolfo Zabisky, CEO da Attitude global. Segundo Carlos Carvalho, diretor executivo da Associação Brasileira das Agências de Comunicação (Abracom), as fusões permitem às empresas ganhar relevância em um mercado cada vez mais exigente e competitivo.

Centralizar diversas necessidades de comunicação de grandes empresas foi o objetivo da criação da holding Attitude Global que consolidou a MVL e Bric - para comunicação corporativa -, a MZ - especializada em relações com investidores -, a, Lead - com foco em governança - e as agências digitais AMPM e Pixit voltadas para vídeo.

"Em 2009, nosso foco era a sobrevivência e o crescimento. A sociedade com fundos de private equity permitiu pensar na perpetuidade do negócio", afirma Zabisky. O movimento visa não só atender o mercado brasileiro, mas expandir o modelo para empresas internacionais. Por meio de fusões, a agência abriu escritórios nos Estados Unidos, China e Hong Kong. No início deste ano a subsidiária do grupo, a MZCAN de Hong Kong fundiu-se à chinesa Beijing Joinn Alliance Investment & Consultancy, que presta serviços financeiros e de relações com investidores criando a MZ China. Sua subsidiária, a MZIlios adquiriu os ativos da americana Ilios Partners. O resultado foi a expansão da carteira para mais de 500 clientes em 12 países, incluindo as gigantes Cisco, 3M, Coca Cola e Yahoo.

Em maio, um fundo de private equity vai aportar R$ 40 milhões para mais aquisições. "Temos planos de comprar uma grande empresa americana e uma latino-americana", afirma Zabisky. De um faturamento atual de US$ 30 milhões, a meta é saltar para US$ 200 milhões em 2014 e fazer um IPO em Hong Kong em 2015. "A estratégia é criar um grupo independente com presença global e faturamento robusto, com escritórios próprios em três continentes", diz Zabisky.

Na In Press Porter Novelli os movimentos de consolidação visaram complementar áreas de negócios. A fusão com a Media Guide Comunicação adiciona a área de esportes aos segmentos de comunicação externa, comunicação interna, mídia digital, conteúdo e publicações, gestão de crises, pesquisa, serviços governamentais e treinamento. "Unimos profissionais qualificados e nos preparamos para atender a área de esportes, bastante ativa até 2016", afirma a diretora presidente da In Press Porter Novelli, Kiki Moretti.

A joint venture com a Oficina da Palavra, de Brasília, trouxe o segmento de clientes governamentais. A estratégia permitiu ultrapassar a marca de 100 contas e um total de 370 profissionais. A In Press também pretende investir em sustentabilidade e serviços de vídeo a partir de núcleos internos e não por meio de novas aquisição. No ano passado a agência teve receita de R$ 53 milhões e a previsão neste ano é chegar a R$ 65 milhões.
