ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.


On March 6, 2013, the Company replaced prior investor PowerPoint and pdf presentations with updated investor PowerPoint and pdf presentations on the Company's website, www.biontech.com.

ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

 

During February 2013 the Company intensified its previously disclosed political and lobbying efforts in Pennsylvania to support establishment of programs for purchase of nitrogen reductions consistent with the Pennsylvania Legislative Budget and Finance Committee’s recently published  study detailing the economic and environmental benefits that would result from the implementation of a competitively bid, request for proposal (RFP) program for nitrogen reductions to fulfill Pennsylvania’s obligations under the US EPA-mandated Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (CB TMDL).  Links to both the full report and a summary are available on the homepage of Bion’s website at www.biontech.com.  Bion’s efforts have included meetings with numerous governmental (from local and county level up through state level legislative and executive officials) and non-governmental organizations and stakeholders.   The Company anticipates that such efforts will continue throughout the next several months with the goal of securing appropriate legislation and administrative rulings related to such a nitrogen reduction purchase program.


A portion of the Company’s efforts on this matter will take place as part of an ad hoc ‘coalition’ named ‘Coalition for an Affordable Bay Solution’ (“CABS”) with other stakeholders (including livestock industry producer groups and other technology providers) who agree with Bion’s positions and goals.  Mr. Edward Schafer, Bion’s Executive Chairman, will head the CABS coalition.


Additionally, during February 2013, the Company further intensified its activities aimed at commencing development of its initial Integrated Project in Pennsylvania later this calendar year.  These efforts have included meetings with Pennsylvania stakeholders (governmental and non-governmental) and large agri-industry companies related to the initial Integrated Project. The Company anticipates that its efforts in this area will be continuing for the rest of this year.
