Legend Capital’s Portfolio Company Singfilm Solar Achieves Breakthrough in Perovskite Solar Cell Efficiency

HONG KONG, July 15, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Legend Capital’s portfolio company, Singfilm Solar, a leading innovator in the research and manufacturing of high-efficiency perovskite solar cells, has announced that its self-developed perovskite solar module has achieved a steady-state conversion efficiency of 22.6%, certified by authoritative institutions. This breakthrough has earned a place in the esteemed Martin Green Efficiency Table (Version 64), marking the third time Singfilm Solar’s innovations have been recognized by this authority. This achievement underscores Singfilm Solar’s pioneering status in the global perovskite field and highlights the potential for transitioning from laboratory research to commercial production.

Founded in July 2023 in Singapore, Singfilm Solar’s team brings over a decade of experience in perovskite materials, processes, and equipment. The company is focused on developing and producing highly efficient and stable perovskite cells.

The improvement of photovoltaic conversion efficiency is crucial, as each 1% increase can result in a 4% rise in power generation and revenue. Perovskite cells, with their ideal band gap width, offer theoretical efficiencies of over 33% for single-junction and 43% for tandem cells, far exceeding traditional crystalline silicon cells. This positions perovskite as the next-generation photovoltaic material.

Despite its potential, the widespread adoption of perovskite in the photovoltaic industry has been hindered by stability challenges. Achieving a balance between power conversion efficiency and operational stability under complex conditions, while also ensuring manufacturing scalability, remains a critical hurdle. Moreover, exploiting the unique properties of perovskite, such as adjustable band gap, lightweight, high efficiency, and simple raw materials, to develop various photovoltaic products for different applications is a significant challenge in its commercialization.

Singfilm Solar’s proprietary Quasi-Mono high-quality perovskite industrial preparation technology supports high-throughput continuous production on large rigid and flexible substrates. Accelerated aging tests have validated the commercial product’s lifespan, making Singfilm’s commercial-sized perovskite modules the first to combine high efficiency, stability, and manufacturability. The company holds several core technologies in perovskite materials, preparation methods, and cell and module structures.

The founder of Singfilm Solar, Professor Yi Hou, is a Presidential Young Professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and leads the Perovskite and Tandem Solar Cells group at the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS). A pioneer in perovskite research, Professor Hou’s work has been published in top academic journals such as Science and Nature ï¼ˆhttps://blog.nus.edu.sg/yihoulab/). The establishment of Singfilm Solar has received substantial support from NUS, providing a strong scientific foundation for the company’s rapid development.

In early 2024, Legend Capital led a round of angel funding for Singfilm Solar. This financing aims to expand Singfilm’s pilot line in Singapore, enhance the R&D team, and develop a global client base.

Professor Yi Hou, founder of Singfilm Solar, stated:

We are standing at the pinnacle of a perovskite technology revolution, committed to transforming laboratory innovations into real-world applications. Singfilm has not only repeatedly broken the records of the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells but has also continuously made significant progress in device stability and scalable manufacturability.

I am filled with anticipation and excitement for Singfilm’s first commercial project in Europe. This is not only a recognition of our team’s technological maturity but also an important step in showcasing innovative clean energy solutions to the world.

I would like to thank Legend Capital and all the partners who support Singfilm. It is your trust that allows us to keep moving forward. We look forward to welcoming a brighter future for perovskite technology together with you all.

Managing Director of Legend Capital, Wenlong Wang, commented:

Singfilm is dedicated to creating the next generation of mainstream photovoltaic products, attracting top experts in perovskite research and thin-film industrialization from around the world. The team possesses comprehensive and solid technical expertise, and what is even more commendable is their focus on addressing the challenges of mass production implementation from day one.

Legend Capital is fortunate to be part of this exciting entrepreneurial journey, actively providing support in equipment, materials, scenarios, and channels by leveraging its accumulated resources in the new energy industry. Congratulations to the company for breaking the world record in its debut, and I look forward to this young and high-potential team continuing to make breakthroughs and successfully achieving subsequent milestones.

KSL Capital Partners & Soneva Resorts: A Cautionary Tale of Due Diligence

BANGKOK, July 12, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – KSL Capital Partners, a prominent private equity firm boasting over 165 companies in its portfolio and managing a staggering $21 billion in assets, is known for its keen eye for exceptional businesses. With a focus on operational expertise and collaborative partnerships, one might wonder how such a powerhouse could find itself entangled in the web of controversy surrounding Soneva Resorts and its CEO, Sonu Shivdasani.

Soneva, formerly Soneva Resorts and Residences, stands as a testament to luxury hospitality, with its roots tracing back to its founding in the Maldives in 1995 by Sonu Shivdasani and his wife, Eva Malmström Shivdasani. However, beneath its lavish facade lie a series of legal battles and controversies that should have raised red flags during any thorough due diligence process.

One of the most damning revelations surrounds Soneva’s association with Ahmed Adeeb, the former Minister of Tourism in the Maldives, who is now imprisoned for corruption. In 2018, an OCCRP report shed light on Soneva’s partnership with Adeeb, exposing how the Shivdasanis obtained the island of Medhufaru, now home to their Soneva Jani resort, through a dubious no-bid contract facilitated by Adeeb. This revelation not only tarnished Soneva’s reputation but also implicated the resort in a larger scandal of corruption and embezzlement.

Furthermore, Soneva Kiri Resort in Thailand faced legal scrutiny following a devastating fire in March 2022. Investigations revealed that the resort was not constructed in compliance with safety standards, leading to charges against Sonu Shivdasani and other executives for negligence and endangerment. Shockingly, it was reported that the villa where the fire originated had never been inspected for fire safety, highlighting a blatant disregard for regulations. Sonu was even summoned for questioning by the Thai criminal authorities, but he refused to appear.

In yet another lawsuit, Sonu Shivdasani was accused of orchestrating a fraudulent scheme to deceive investors into purchasing properties at the Soneva Kiri Resort. A Swiss individual alleged that Shivdasani failed to deliver a villa and surrounding land worth $6.2 million, leading to a legal battle that spanned multiple jurisdictions. This case not only exposed the dark underbelly of Soneva’s business practices but also raised questions about the due diligence process undertaken by investors like KSL Capital Partners.

So, how could a firm like KSL, renowned for its operational expertise and rigorous due diligence, be blindsided by the controversies surrounding Soneva and Sonu Shivdasani? The answer lies in a failure to dig deep enough into the company’s history and practices.

While KSL’s operational perspective undoubtedly provides valuable insights into the hospitality industry, it appears that their due diligence process fell short in assessing the ethical and legal implications of partnering with Soneva. A more comprehensive investigation should have raised concerns about Soneva’s opaque dealings with corrupt officials, its disregard for safety standards, and its alleged involvement in fraudulent schemes.

Moving forward, KSL and other investors must adopt a more holistic approach to due diligence, one that goes beyond financial metrics to scrutinize the integrity and ethical standards of potential partners. This may involve conducting thorough background checks, engaging independent auditors to assess compliance with regulations, and scrutinizing past legal disputes for any red flags.

Also, investors must prioritize transparency and accountability in their partnerships, ensuring that their portfolio companies adhere to the highest standards of ethics and governance. By learning from the cautionary tale of Soneva, KSL and others can mitigate the risks of being hoodwinked into investing in companies with questionable practices, safeguarding both their reputations and their bottom lines.

Findell Capital Management LLC Releases Comprehensive Research Coverage Report on ESTA : Nasdaq

NEW YORK, NY, June 17, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Findell Capital Management LLC, an investment management firm, today announced the release of a detailed Report on Establishment Labs Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ESTA), which can be found here.

ESTA is a NASDAQ listed company, headquartered in Costa Rica, that has developed and commercialized a significantly improved breast implant. We believe ESTA stock has a credible pathway to double in the next year, with an opportunity to grow multiples beyond that with a long-term price target of +$200 versus $44.48 (6/14/2024 close).

ESTA screens as expensive (7.7x sales multiple) and has a corresponding large, short interest (20%) and was also subject to a Hindenburg short report in 2022. However, Findell believes that ESTA has one of the best fundamental growth stories in the med-tech space over the next several years and 2024 will be a crucial inflection year with the launch of Motiva in the US and the roll out of Mia-Femtech abroad.

ESTA has developed and commercialized a significantly improved breast implant, Motiva, that is on the cusp of being cleared by the FDA. This US launch coupled with the launch in China should allow ESTA’s base business to grow at a +30% CAGR over the next several years.

The market has yet to fully appreciate how differentiated this product is from legacy products and how untenable it will be in the long run from a liability perspective for doctors to use anything but Motiva, the safest product ever developed by a large margin. We believe that Motiva’s launch in the US will be similar to how it launched in Switzerland and South Korea – it will take majority share in short order.

ESTA has also developed a minimally invasive procedure called Mia-Femtech, which it has just begun to roll out. Mia is a 15-minute augmentation procedure that requires no general anesthesia and has minimum recovery time and achieves a very natural look. Given how radically different a procedure this is – both in the process and the final output – Mia could significantly expand the addressable market for augmentation – this could be to breast enhancements what Ozempic is for weight loss.

With Motiva’s launch expected in early Q3 pending a site visit by the FDA and Mia-Femtech’s roll out underway, the second half of 2024 and early 2025 will provide several proof points of this burgeoning growth story and the heavily shorted stock should re-rate accordingly.

Findell will be doing a live interview with SumZero at 10:00 a.m., Monday, June 17, 2024 to further discuss the story. To register – click here.
