December 27 - GS CleanTech to Take GS AgriFuels Private

Transaction Will Mark Completion of GreenShift's Restructuring

GS CleanTech Corporation (OTCBB: GSCL) and its majority-held subsidiary, GS AgriFuels Corporation (OTCBB: GSGF), announced GS CleanTech’s plan to transfer its interest in the capital stock of GS AgriFuels to a new wholly-owned subsidiary of GS CleanTech. After the transfer, the new GS CleanTech subsidiary will merge GS AgriFuels into itself in accordance with the short-form merger procedures provided in Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. All non-affiliated minority shareholders of GS AgriFuels will receive a cash payment of $0.50 per share as a result of the merger and will thereafter cease to be shareholders of GS AgriFuels. GS AgriFuels will, therefore, cease to be a public company at the conclusion of these transactions.

The completion of these transactions is subject to the consent of GS CleanTech’s and GS AgriFuels’ senior creditor, YA Global Investments, L.P. (“Global”). GS CleanTech expects to obtain this consent in the near term, based on recent favorable discussions with Global. If the consent is obtained by early January, GS CleanTech expects that it will declare a definitive date for the merger during January 2008, and that it will complete both the merger and the cash distribution within the first 6-8 weeks of 2008.

The short-form merger of GS AgriFuels will be part of a series of transactions that GS CleanTech expects to complete in the next few weeks, involving the restructuring of GS CleanTech’s existing debt and the closing of new financing to support the ongoing construction and operation of GS CleanTech’s various corn oil extraction systems.

Background on GS AgriFuels Transaction:

Ed Carroll, GS AgriFuels’ chief financial officer, said that “We have been burning too much cash at the corporate level administering multiple public entities. We believe that taking GS AgriFuels private, along with the other restructuring steps we have taken during the past 60 days, will significantly reduce corporate overhead, while streamlining our operations and alleviating the confusion that our multiple entities cause to both our clients and our shareholders.”

Kevin Kreisler, chairman of GS CleanTech and GS AgriFuels, added: “The elimination of confusion has been a chief goal of our restructuring, as minority shareholders in each company have expressed concerns regarding the relationship between GS CleanTech and GS AgriFuels.”

In late 2006, GS AgriFuels acquired NextGen Fuel, Inc. (“NextGen”), a development stage company that had developed proprietary and patent-pending technologies for the high efficiency transesterification of qualified oils and fats into biodiesel. While the NextGen reactor is an elegant, robust and proven technology, upstream and downstream processes are required to prepare targeted oils and fats before reaction and to purify the fuel after reaction. GS CleanTech’s engineers have either redesigned or designed nearly all of the upstream and downstream processes used in conjunction with the NextGen reactor today. Moreover, since NextGen never had its own engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning or any other technical staff after the acquisition, GS CleanTech’s engineering and manufacturing teams have conducted virtually all of NextGen’s operations since early 2007. Significantly, GS CleanTech’s staff is directly responsible for GS AgriFuels’ third quarter profits.

Kreisler continued: “The degree to which GS CleanTech’s and GS AgriFuels’ operations are integrated and the extent to which GS AgriFuels relies on GS CleanTech’s engineers raises issues for the GS CleanTech shareholders that must be resolved. After reviewing a variety of alternatives, we concluded that the most equitable way to resolve these issues is for GS CleanTech to take GS AgriFuels private for fair value.”

“We also believe that the combined benefit of GS AgriFuels’ and GS CleanTech’s commercialized technologies will be more effectively realized and translated into increased shareholder wealth by taking GS AgriFuels private. Once this transaction is completed, the value proposition presented by GS CleanTech’s various biofuels technologies and operations will no longer be diluted and spread across multiple publicly listed entities – it will be concentrated in one company: GS CleanTech.”

Completion of Restructuring:

The completion of the short-form merger will mark the completion of GreenShift’s accelerated restructuring.

Kreisler concluded: “We are producing cash flows today with technologies that were not in the field a year ago, and our growth rates of sales and earnings show that we can build an extremely exciting and profitable company. With the completion of our restructuring, we believe that our capital structure is now primed to accurately reflect the market value of what we are building and to enhance value for all of our shareholders. We will face considerable risks moving forward as we continue to scale our operations, but we have a strong foundation and I am confident that our team can make a significant contribution to the nation’s efforts to increase the utilization of biofuels.”

December 27 - Airspan Obtains FCC Certification for Products in 3.65GHz Frequency Band

Field-Proven 3.65GHz Solution Now Available for US Deployments

Airspan Networks Inc. (NASD: AIRN), a leading provider of WiMAX-based broadband wireless access networks, announced that it had obtained FCC certification to market its HiperMAX base station in the 3.65GHz band in the United States. HiperMAX base stations in the 3.65GHz band are already being deployed with several carriers internationally. This is the first of a series of products planned for this band to receive FCC certification, including MicroMAX, a compact base station, and several subscriber devices including the EasyST and outdoor ProST, both of which also support optional WiFi and VoIP extensions.

While this initial certification is for operation in the lower half of the 3.65GHz band, Airspan products for the band implement a unique "Detect and Protect" contention protocol which, pending formal FCC certification, would double the amount of spectrum available to operators.

Paul Senior, Airspan's CTO, noted, "The system has already been deployed commercially in several countries, including operation in European 3.65GHz allocations, with operators delivering Fixed WiMAX services and planning software upgrades to deliver Mobile WiMAX services in 2008. We're excited to now be able to offer the product in the United States. Carriers feel more comfortable with products that have a proven track record and several of our U.S. customers have been waiting for this certification to begin looking at the 3.65GHZ products. The HiperMAX solution provides some key technologies like MIMO operation and 10MHz channels which significantly improve the business case for operators. The extra range and capacity provided by Airspan's solution can be a real game-changer."

The 3.65GHz solution adds to Airspan's product line for the U.S., which already includes products for the 700MHz and 1.x-, 2.x-, 4.x- and 5.x-GHz bands.
