TAMPA, Fla., Jan.  15, 2020  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cool Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:WARM) (“CoolTech”), an innovator and intellectual property company in mobile power generation and heat removal technologies, has announced that the Company’s Board of Directors have elected a new external member. The new member of the Board of Directors is Steven Wilburn. Mr. Wilburn brings vast industry experience, a successful track record and political clout to the Company. He is a chemical engineer with in-depth applications engineering experience and an executive with over 40 years of experience in alternative energy and water treatment. Steve is also the founder, Chairman and CEO of FirmGreen, Inc., and founder and managing member of VerdeWatts, LLC. FirmGreen’s patented landfill emission cleanup process converts biogas into compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel. His company has subsequently added proprietary patented water treatment technology to its product mix. He also invented the VerdeVault Energy Storage System for solar and battery powered technologies, then founded VerdeWatts to commercialize it. VerdeWatts currently has over $212 million in renewable energy and energy storage projects in development. One is a contract to develop and operate a 65 megawatt solar hybrid plant with 240 megawatt hours of battery storage in Nigeria. After reviewing the Company’s technologies, Steve put forth a new application for CoolTech’s Mobile Power Generation System: make it an integral part of mobile microgrids to power farming villages throughout rural America and the developing world. VerdeWatts solar panels and battery storage systems would provide the sustainable energy. MG Systems would recharge or back-up the microgrids and simultaneously power FirmGreen water purification and desalination systems. A combat wounded and disabled Marine who was awarded the Purple Heart, Mr. Wilburn has continued to serve his country, earning respect from Democrats and Republicans in the process. He’s testified before the House Financial Services Committee as an expert on the financing of international trade. The Obama Administration appointed him to the White House Business Council and the Trade and Finance Advisory Committee. Then, the current Secretary of Commerce, Wilbur Ross, reappointed him to the same committee. His service on the advisory board of the Export Import Bank of the United States (the official export credit agency of the federal government which assists in the financing and facilitating of U.S. exports) could be the most important for the Company. “The combination of CoolTech, VerdeWatts and FirmGreen technologies can be transformative for the health, livelihoods and economies of communities all over the world. Congress has mandated that the bank fund projects that benefit the environment and I believe this fills the bill,” stated Mr. Wilburn. “Furthermore, the synergy between our companies can be quite beneficial to both. In Latin America, CoolTech has incorporated our products in their projects. I see the same kind of pull through likely as we add their technology to our current and future projects.”
Regarding the new director, Timothy Hassett, Cool Technologies’ Chairman and CEO, said, “As we reach the tipping point in a very auspicious year for the Company, adding a professional like Steve will provide a unique set of skills and relationships to help the Company transcend its previous limitations, enter new markets and grow at a speed and scale beyond what we had previously imagined.”

*Required fields
TAMPA, Fla., Dec.  23, 2019  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cool Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: WARM) (“CoolTech”), an innovator and intellectual property company in mobile energy generation and heat removal technologies, provided today a letter to shareholders. Dear Fellow Shareholders,
There is much that’s happened in the six weeks since our last shareholder letter that I want to share with you. New Strategic Alliance:
On December 16, 2019, the Company signed a cross marketing and licensing agreement with VerdeWatts, LLC., an energy generation and storage company encompassing everything from mobile solar power generation systems to large scale biogas turbine installations. Pursuant to the agreement VerdeWatts and the Company each granted the other a royalty free non-exclusive license to certain patents which license is subject to certain future negotiation. Similar to CoolTech’s Mobile Generation systems (“MG”), VerdeWatts’ products are scalable and offer the ability to bring power nearly anywhere it is needed. Their proprietary Smart Solar Power Generation Units and energy storage systems combine to deliver sustainable power long after the sun has set. The agreement with VerdeWatts also included a  cross marketing and royalty free non-exclusive licensing agreement with FirmGreen, Inc., a water treatment facilities developer that works closely with VerdeWatts to create a suite of synergistic products that address significant needs in the global marketplace. FirmGreen specializes in water purification and desalination technologies. Their mobile, solar and container applications feature 6 levels of water purification for unrivaled drinkability. Pursuant to the agreement FirmGreen and the Company each granted the other a royalty free non-exclusive license to certain patents which license is subject to certain future negotiation. CoolTech’s MG platform makes the companies’ product offering complete with mobile power generation. It provides the capability to power everything from irrigation for farms and water purification for rural areas to electric vehicle charging and fast charging in the urban ones. Consider the solar-powered generator system with a built-in water purification unit that makes seawater desalination sustainable. The system pumps and purifies up to 3,000 gallons per day and interfaces with CoolTech’s MG system for 24-hour operation. The solar panels collapse and fold together, so the entire system fits easily in the bed of a work truck. It can be set up and operate anywhere a four wheel drive vehicle can reach. All of these systems are patent protected and cross licensed to each of the three companies. FimrGreen and VerdeWatts have a global presence with projects on 3 continents. The largest  encompasses the installation of 14 natural gas generators to produce over 60 megawatts (MW) of power. The generators will be integrated with 50 megawatt hours of battery storage and another 6 MW of solar to ensure a consistent flow of power. Verdewatts intend to replace most of the legacy on-site generators with CoolTech’s MG systems, however the Company has not received any orders and there cannot be any assurance that any orders will be placed. Together the companies can create an energy or utility ecosystem that can enable less developed countries to leapfrog non-existent, inadequate or failing infrastructure to deliver reliable power and water quickly, sustainably and cost effectively to their citizens, agriculture and other businesses. The scale and impact can reach from the individual farms and villages to cities and regions. In fact, by combining their respective technologies: energy generation, energy storage and load management controls into a single suite of products, the companies create what’s called a “microgrid”. Varying combinations of energy sources such as solar, wind, biogas and MG systems both backup and supplement one another to provide consistent, uninterrupted primary power even during severe weather or other emergency situations. The synergies between the companies extend beyond water purification and power generation. VerdeWatts’ wind and gas turbines and generators which produce electric power can all be improved by CoolTech’s thermal reduction technologies. New Sales Agent:
In early December, the Company entered into an agreement with Gaia Energy of Gdansk, Poland to act as an independent agent for the Company by developing markets in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The agreement describes the agent’s duties as “generating revenue, and investment funding, for Company from various organizations including investment funds, end-users, channel partners, integrators, and OEMs.”  
Team members of Gaia Energy include executives with more than twenty-five years’ experience with Panasonic, Ford Motor Company, Electronic Data Systems and the US Air Force in the fields of advanced technologies and an African diplomat with a thirty-year background working with and for diplomatic missions, non-governmental organizations and international disasters and aid management services. The diplomat introduced CoolTech products at a recent African technical summit attended by representatives from 54 countries. Gaia has since registered with CoolTech personal and organizational contacts in Ghana, Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo, although there cannot be any assurance that the Company will generate any orders from the contacts. Request for Collaboration Sent to US Government Officials
The Company’s marketing efforts are beginning to bear fruit. On December 11th, letters signed by 13 government officials and Congressmen in Mexico were mailed to their counterparts in the US, specifically Governor Gavin Newsom, Secretary Rick Perry, Secretary Wilbur Ross, Senator Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The letters were a request for collaborative support between the two countries to accelerate CoolTech’s product deployment into Mexico to help solve urgent rural power and water purification problems that are hurting rural communities. Those problems include irregular and faulty power in rural areas which hinders crop irrigation and water pollution which affects crops farmed for sale to the US. The letters also detail the Mexican officials’ satisfaction with CoolTech’s solutions and management team and that they have met with the Company on several occasions for product demonstrations as well as strategic and technical advice . They highlight the benefits of CoolTech products, how they could quickly and efficiently address the problems noted, and how they expect them to become a viable part of the country’s infrastructure. Benefits from the Passage of the USMCA
On December 19, 2019, the US House of Representatives ratified the new US Mexico Canada Agreement (the NAFTA replacement). While the Senate still needs to ratify the agreement, it is expected to occur quickly in the new year. Senator Mitch McConnell has stated that it will be put before the Senate after the expected impeachment trial. The USMCA will conceivably benefit the Company by offering improved protections for trade secrets, including civil and criminal protections, guarantees on the ability to license trade secrets, and protection from unauthorized disclosure by courts and government officials. The Company believes that agreement will continue to provide strong patent protection by enshrining patentability standards and patent office “best practices” to ensure that United States innovators, including small and medium sized businesses such as CoolTech, are able to protect their inventions. As new traders, just entering Mexico’s and Canada’s markets, the Company believes that it will also benefit from lower costs to reach consumers. The USMCA raises the “de minimis” customs thresholds under which U.S. businesses may export to Canada and Mexico with reduced paperwork and without paying taxes or duties. Export Import Bank of the United States
With the help of VerdeWatts and Firmgreen, CoolTech has initiated a relationship with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM), a U.S. government agency whose sole mission is to support U.S. exports. The bank fulfills its mission by offering very cost-effective financing for international customers and project developers to purchase U.S.-made services and purchase or lease U.S.-made goods. To that end, the two companies submitted an application to finance the Mexican projects referenced above. CoolTech also sent product information for due diligence review by the technical team at EXIM bank. Subsequently, CoolTech has received a Letter of Interest from EXIM, however, there cannot be any assurance that EXIM will provide any funding to the Company. Nonetheless, in light of the fact that Firmgreen’s founder and managing member was also a member of the bank’s advisory board, the Company is optimistic that the relationship with EXIM will strengthen. Summary
In conclusion, we are pursuing opportunities on a variety of fronts and are encouraged by the positive responses. Our efforts to secure additional financing continue and we are hopeful for a successful timely conclusion. We look forward to keeping shareholders abreast of our progress, and as always, we deeply appreciate all of your interest and support since our inception. Sincerely,
