April 29 - Two Leading Craft Brewers Intend to Merge

Pyramid Breweries Inc. (NASD: PMID) (“Pyramid”) and Magic Hat Brewing Company & Performing Arts Center, Inc. (“Magic Hat”) announced the execution of a Letter of Intent (“Letter of Intent”), which contemplates a transaction by which Magic Hat will acquire Pyramid, through an agreed all-cash tender offer and subsequent merger, at $2.75 per share of Pyramid common stock on a fully-diluted basis.

The proposed transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive merger agreement. The merger agreement will provide for a first-step tender offer for outstanding Pyramid shares by an acquisition entity wholly owned by Magic Hat, to be conditioned upon the acquisition of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Pyramid. The tender offer, if consummated, will be followed by a merger of Magic Hat’s acquisition entity with and into Pyramid. The proposed transaction is also subject to the satisfactory completion of a due diligence review by Magic Hat of the business, financial and legal affairs of Pyramid, and receipt of necessary consents and approvals of regulatory agencies and third parties.

The Letter of Intent provides for the payment of a break-up fee payable by Pyramid to Magic Hat in specified circumstances, and also for the payment of Magic Hat’s reasonable expenses in specified circumstances, each involving the failure to consummate the proposed transaction.

Certain shareholders of Pyramid holding approximately 29% of the outstanding Pyramid common stock have, concurrently with Pyramid’s execution of the Letter of Intent, entered into a Tender and Support Agreement (the “Tender Agreement”) with Magic Hat, pursuant to which they have agreed to tender the shares owned by them in the Magic Hat tender offer and have granted Magic Hat an irrevocable proxy with respect to such shares. The portion of the shares subject to the Tender Agreement in excess of 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Pyramid common stock may be released from the provisions of the Tender Agreement in specified circumstances in connection with the receipt by Pyramid of unsolicited superior offers as defined in the Tender Agreement.

The closing of the proposed transaction, subject to the conditions referred to above, is anticipated to occur not later than August 31, 2008.

The board of directors of Pyramid has approved the transactions contemplated by the Letter of Intent.

“The combination of these two well established, high profile craft breweries will be very complementary given our respective brand portfolios and the geographies in which we predominantly operate. Additionally, there will be a number of important benefits for Pyramid to be part of a private company versus continuing to operate as a stand alone public entity. This consolidation makes both good strategic and financial sense and is well timed, particularly as the beer industry’s competitive dynamics continue to intensify,” said Pyramid CEO Scott Barnum. “The Company will continue to have offices in Seattle, its historical home, and will seek opportunities to capitalize on the enhanced assets and capabilities of the new combined entity,” he added.

Martin Kelly, CEO of Magic Hat said, “We have a great deal of respect for Pyramid’s brand heritage, award-winning beers and its dedicated employees, and look forward to consummating this transaction, which provides both strategic and financial benefits both to Pyramid’s and Magic Hat’s stakeholders.”

Important Notice

The tender offer for the outstanding common stock of Pyramid contemplated by the Letter of Intent has not commenced, and will only commence pursuant to the terms of a definitive merger agreement, as described above. This document is neither an offer to purchase nor solicitation of an offer to sell securities. At the time the tender offer is commenced an affiliate of Magic Hat Brewing Company & Performing Arts Center, Inc. will file a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The tender offer statement (including an offer to purchase, a related letter of transmittal and other offer documents) and the solicitation/recommendation statement will contain important information that should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the tender offer. Those materials will be made available to Pyramid’s shareholders at no expense to them. In addition, all of those materials (and all other offer documents filed with the SEC) will be available at no charge on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.

April 24 - Sarissa Resources Engages Auditor

Sarissa Resources, Inc. (OTC: SRSR) announced that the Company has engaged the services of an independent auditing firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of Sarissa Resources in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (GAAP) and to provide the Company's Board of Directors with an opinion on them in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Michael F. Albanese, CPA, has already begun the financial auditing process for Sarissa.

Sarissa president Scott Keevil stated, "With all of the recent progress that Sarissa has made, particularly the acquisition this year of the Nemegosenda carbonatite property, the board feels that hiring an independent auditor is a natural progression from the previously announced retention of an independent geological consulting firm." Sarissa has previously announced the engagement of Hawk Exploration Consultants to independently assess the extensive amount of historical work conducted on the Nemegosenda deposits.

Mr. Keevil, continued, "Our main priority is to keep focused on confirming the potential at Nemegosenda; but it's also time for us to look seriously at the corporate and listing structure of Sarissa in order to develop a strategy that ensures our shareholders start to see the value of their holdings getting an adequate reflection in the market, and this is another step down that road."

April 29 - S3 Investment Company Announces CEO Trip to China for Meetings With Existing Redwood Capital Clients and to Bolster Pipeline of Prospective Redwood Clients

S3 Investment Company, Inc. (OTC: SIVC), the majority owner of Redwood Capital, which assists private Chinese companies in accessing the U.S. capital markets through reverse mergers into U.S. public companies, today announced that chairman and chief executive officer Jim Bickel is preparing to travel to China for meetings with existing Redwood Capital clients and to support the expansion of Redwood's pipeline of prospective clients.

Redwood Capital has three current Chinese private company clients, Changzhou Haijie Metallurgical Machinery Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Wuhan International Trade College, and Shandong Yiteng Chemical Co., Ltd. Given the company's goal to complete one reverse merger transaction per quarter, Redwood Capital will continue to target and evaluate additional potential clients. The company's extensive network of contacts and the bourgeoning business landscape in China provides abundant deal flow for Redwood Capital.

"In order to meet our goal of one closed reverse merger transaction per quarter and given the nature of the Redwood Capital business, the development of a robust pipeline of prospective clients is a critical element in the successful execution of Redwood's strategy," Mr. Bickel stated. "The reality is that not every client in the Redwood Capital pipeline is going to ultimately complete a reverse merger transaction. The pipeline is much larger than just the announced clients, and some companies in the pipeline will not meet the necessary standards for a U.S. public listing."

"The work of sorting through all potential client companies requires significant support from S3, and we will continue to provide that support, even when it entails frequent trips to China," Mr. Bickel added.

S3 recently announced that the Redwood Capital business has become an even greater focus due to the priority that management has placed on building value for shareholders.
