In an exclusive interview, Robert D'Loren, Chairman and CEO of Xcel Brands, appears on the RedChip Small Stocks Big Money® Show on Bloomberg TV to provide a corporate update. Xcel Brands is a pioneering force in the convergence of shopping, entertainment, and social media and expects to generate $18 million in top-line royalty revenue in 2024. Based on the recent sale of 70% interest in its Isaac Mizrahi brand, which sold for six times royalty revenue, Xcel is trading for a greater than 75% discount to its intrinsic value, presenting tremendous potential upside for investors. Social commerce is expected to drive 20% of all US online sales by 2026, and Xcel is perfectly positioned to capture a significant market share with its proven approach to increasing conversion rates that significantly outperforms traditional digital marketing strategies. The Company's brands boast over 5 million social followers, generate over $600 million in annual retail sales, and have delivered over 20,000 hours of live-stream programming. Operating on a working capital-light business model, Xcel has a historical track record of revenue growth with positive adjusted EBITDA (pre-COVID), allowing for continued investment in brand and technology development. With the launch of its new proprietary live stream and social commerce platform, Orme, Xcel is set for strong cash flow generation starting in Q1 2024. The Company's management team, which holds over 60% of Xcel's outstanding shares, brings decades of experience in building major brand management companies, and they are committed to driving innovation and profitability. In summary, Xcel presents a unique investment opportunity, combining leadership in an emerging industry, innovative technology, creative excellence, financial resilience, and strong growth prospects.

Paul Mann, CEO of ASP Isotopes, appears on the RedChip Small Stocks Big Money® Show on Bloomberg TV to provide a corporate update. ASP Isotopes successfully acquired two incomplete ASP plants in Pretoria, South Africa, and obtained the required licenses from the nuclear regulators, including the Non-proliferation Council of South Africa, to complete construction of the plants and produce commercial product. Cold commissioning of the first manufacturing plant, capable of enriching light isotopes, was completed in Q1 2023, and ASP Isotopes entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with a North American customer for the entire offtake of the Company's first light isotope plant. The Company intends to enter into "take or pay" style offtake agreements with customers and expects to be a leading supplier of non-nuclear enriched isotopes by 2028. ASP Isotopes has secured multiple supply agreements, including a 25-year agreement valued at up to $27 million per annum with BRICEM (Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Engineering Metallurgy) to supply highly enriched Molybdenum-100 (Mo-100); a multi-year agreement with a Canadian company valued at $3.8 million per annum for Carbon-14 (C-14), the most frequently used radiolabel healthcare; a $9 million supply agreement with a US customer for a highly enriched isotope - customer made a $900,000 prepayment during Q3 2023 with commercial deliveries anticipated beginning in Q1 2024; and two MOUs for High Assay Low Enriched Uranium (HALEU) - $30 billion of HALEU demand expected based on initial discussions with customers. HC Wainwright initiated coverage of ASP Isotopes in December 2023 with a buy rating and $3.25 per share price target.
