NEW YORK, July 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of Class B common stock of NIKE, Inc. (NYSE: NKE) between March 19, 2021 and March 21, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important August 19, 2024 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased NIKE Class B common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the NIKE class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=26480 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 19, 2024. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) NIKE’s direct-to-consumer strategy was unable to generate sustainable revenue growth; (2) NIKE’s purported competitive advantages were unable to protect NIKE from intense competitive pressures after NIKE largely disengaged from many of its wholesale and retail partners to focus on its direct-to-consumer strategy; and (3) as a result, defendants’ representations about NIKE’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

‫شركة Invixium تستحوذ على Triax Technologies لتوسيع حلولها للقياسات الحيوية مع عرض أنظمة مواقع الزمن الفعلي RTLS القائمة على الذكاء الاصطناعي من أجل تحسين السلامة والإنتاجية في المواقع الصناعية والبنية التحتية الحرجة

تورنتو, July 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — أعلنت اليوم شركة Invixium، الرائدة عالميًا في مجال التحكم في الوصول إلى القياسات االحيوية، والقوى العاملة، وحلول إدارة الزائرين، عن استحواذها بكل فخر على شركة Triax Technologies الكائنة في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية (Triax). ومن شأن هذا الاستحواذ الاستراتيجي أن يوسّع محفظة Invixium مع أنظمة مواقع الزمن الفعلي “RTLS” القائمة على الذكاء الاصطناعي وحلول العاملين المتصلة من Triax المصممة لتحسين إنتاجية العاملين واستغلال المعدات. ومع هذا التحرك، توسع Invixium نطاق أعمالها بما يتجاوز التحكم في الوصول إلى نقاط الدخول لمواجهة التحديات اليومية المعقدة ضمن البنى التحتية الحرجة ومواقع العمل الصناعية، مثل النفط والغاز والتصنيع والإنشاءات والمواد الكيميائية والتعدين والطاقة.

وفي معرض تعليقه على هذه المناسبة، قال Shiraz Kapadia، المدير التنفيذي ورئيس شركة Invixium “حددنا المزيد من المشكلات الحقيقية التي يجب حلها”. وأضاف “يبرز هذا الاستحواذ التزامنا بتوفير حلول مبتكرة تلبي متطلبات الصحة والسلامة والأمن والإنتاجية لمواقع عملائنا. ومع إضافة Triax، نوفر الآن حلولاً شاملة ومتكاملة من نقاط الدخول الآمنة إلى البيئة التشغيلية الكاملة. إن هذه الخطوة الجريئة تمثل تقدمًا محوريًا في استراتيجيتنا للنمو”.

كما أن حل العاملين المتميز القائم على الاتصال بالإنترنت من Triax، والذي يحمل اسم Spot-r، يمثل منصة مبتكرة غير معتمدة على نظام GPS والذي يضم شبكة متمازجة محمية ببراءات اختراع وقابلة للتطوير والأجهزة صغيرة الحجم ولوحات معلومات سهلة الاستخدام. يستخدم النظام شارات قابلة للارتداء لتجميع البيانات ونقلها إلى برامج قائمة على السحابة تعمل على توفير رؤى شبه لحظية. إن هذا الحل القوي وسهل الاستخدام يُعد بمثابة شبكة مستقلة، حيث يتجاوز البنية التحتية الداخلية لتكنولوجيا المعلومات. من شأن لوحات معلومات البرامج والتحليلات القائمة على الذكاء الاصطناعي أن تساعد الصناعات في تحديد مشكلات الإنتاجية والقضاء عليها وتتبع استخدام المعدات بفاعلية والحد من أوقات الاستجابة في حالات الطوارئ، مما يعمل على تحسين السلامة الكلية والكفاءة التشغيلية للموقع.

وفي صدد التعليق على هذه المناسبة، قال Scott MacDonald، رئيس مجلس إدارة Triax Technologies “تعمل منصة Triax لإنتاجية العمل والسلامة في موقع العمل على إكمال محفظة Invixium المتميزة من حلول وخدمات الوصول إلى القياسات الحيوية”. وأضاف “إنني على ثقة من أن Invixium ستواصل تعزيز الحلول الموحدة وتوسيع تأثيرها، مما يعمل على زيادة القيمة بشكل كبير لعملائنا الصناعيين وأصحاب المصلحة بشكل مشترك”.

إن تقنيات Invixium وTriax ستساعد المؤسسات على الحد من مخاطر الوصول غير المصرح به فضلاً عن أنها ستبسط العمليات ووضع معايير جديدة في مجالات السلامة والفعالية الصناعية. ومع العائد المثبت على الاستثمار من حلول Triax، بما في ذلك وفورات العمالة الكبيرة من خلال زيادة الوقت المنقضي على استخدام الأدوات والحد من مطالبات الإصابات، فإن Invixium مستعدة لإحداث طفرة في العمليات الصناعية على المستوى العالمي.

تلتزم Invixium بإجراءات التكامل السلسة، الأمر الذي يضمن استمرارية الخدمات ويطرح باقة أوسع من التقنيات لمواجهة المتطلبات المتطورة لقاعدة عملاء كلتا الشركتين.

ولم يتم بعد الإفصاح عن الشروط المالية للاستحواذ.

ROSEN, A LEADING INVESTOR RIGHTS LAW FIRM, Encourages Roblox Corporation to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – RBLX

NEW YORK, July 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Roblox Corporation (NYSE: RBLX) between November 15, 2023 and May 8, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important August 12, 2024 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Roblox securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Roblox class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=25991 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 12, 2024. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to Roblox’s projected revenue outlook and anticipated bookings growth, due largely to expansions in Roblox’s available platforms, changes in Roblox’s digital technology (such as avatars), Roblox’s shared economy with content creators, and advertising revenue. In truth, Roblox knew each of those bookings and revenue sources were tenuous at best. In fact, Roblox faced difficulty converting daily average users (“DAUs”) into bookings and eventually blamed the very technology and platform growth it lauded as revolutionary and revenue-generating for this bookings problem. Defendants misled investors by providing the public with a materially flawed outlook for the relationship between DAU, bookings, and technology it lauded during its Investor Day and Earnings Call. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

GMAC Board Election Affirms Continuity, Drive toward Business for Good

Global org of leading business schools dedicated to advancing equitable access to education

RESTON, Va., July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), a non-profit association representing over 200 graduate business schools around the globe, today announced the election to her first full term of Itziar de Ros, associate dean of advancement and engagement at IESE Business School, and the re-election of François Ortalo-Magné, dean of London Business School, to another term of four years to its board of directors. In addition, Jay Nibbe, former global vice chair of markets at EY, was re-appointed for a second term. All three started their new term on July 1, 2024.

With the GMAC board’s continuity confirmed by its member schools, it also reiterates its commitment to the organization’s mission to serve prospective candidates with talent and aspirations in business careers and school professionals who are passionate about holistic admission practices to build an inclusive classroom while delivering high quality education and services to their students.

“For seven decades, we have been known for providing business schools with assessment tools that give insight into a prospective student’s readiness for the academic rigor of their programs. Equally important is how we also educate school professionals in the latest marketing and recruiting approaches to deepen the global candidate pipeline, ensure that our conference and event curriculum remains robust and addresses immediate industry needs, and continue to inform schools on what we are learning about the pipeline through our research that takes a deeper dive into special segments and global regions,” said Joy Jones, CEO of GMAC. “Our newly confirmed board, along with our staff across continents, recognizes our long-term investment in both the business schools and the candidates aspiring to enter them. We remain driven toward realizing the vision of a world where every talented person can benefit from the best business education for them, knowing that business school graduates are motivated to take on some of our greatest challenges.”

GMAC programs, products, and services are widely available, and the organization takes additional measures to ensure everyone with aspirations has opportunity. GMAC’s commitment to cultivating an inclusive talent pipeline spans decades. 30 years ago, GMAC co-founded The PhD Project, an organization with an aim to positively impact the diversity of the workforce by changing faculty representation, and for 20 years has supported the Forté Foundation, whose mission is to propel women to successful careers through access to business education and opportunities. Donations to these and other pipeline organizations have surpassed $6 million. Well into its third year, the GMAT Talent and Opportunity Scholarship has benefited dozens of business school aspirants from underrepresented communities in Europe to promote business school inclusivity. GMAC Tours hosts virtual and in-person spotlight events specifically for MBA applicants in the veteran community in partnership with Service to School, a non-profit that provides free graduate school application counseling to military veterans and servicemembers, and for Black, Hispanic, and Native American candidates in partnership with Management Leadership for Tomorrow, a non-profit focusing on building diverse leaders and equitable workspaces. In its desire to positively impact the communities in which it operates, GMAC introduced a service activity as part of the program at last month’s GMAC Annual Conference for all attendees to support students in the local New Orleans area.

“In 2023, GMAC issued a sustainable development statement and one of our aims is to contribute to the growth and equality in the communities that we serve while caring for the environment where we operate. I am impressed by how GMAC has strived to grow along with—and give back to—our business school community, and our society at large, through efforts toward building an inclusive and quality business education ecosystem,” said Themin Suwardy, associate provost of postgraduate professional education at Singapore Management University and chair of the GMAC Board.

GMAC also recognizes and thanks its outgoing board member Yuan Ding, Cathay Capital Chair Professor in Accounting at CEIBS (China Europe International Business School), for his continuous support of GMAC’s mission over the past four years.

About GMAC

The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) is a mission-driven association of leading graduate business schools worldwide. GMAC provides world-class research, industry conferences, recruiting tools, and assessments for the graduate management education industry as well as resources, events, and services that help guide candidates through their higher education journey. Owned and administered by GMAC, the Graduate Management Admission Test™ (GMAT™) exam is the most widely used graduate business school assessment.

More than 12 million prospective students a year trust GMAC’s platforms, including mba.comGMAC Tours, and BusinessBecause, to learn about MBA and business master’s programs, connect with schools around the world, prepare and register for exams, and get advice on how to successfully achieve their business education and career goals.

PIF is the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia and one of the world’s most impactful investor. It embraces the Kingdom’s energy transformation mission by developing upcoming renewable energy initiatives, including wind power, photovoltaics, hydrogen, energy storage, etc. Vision Industries is a leading investor and developer of green energy industrial projects and local supply chains. Globally, PIF chose Envision as its JV partner due to Envision’s leading position in green power, encompassing smart wind power, energy storage systems, and green hydrogen solutions that address the challenges of climate change. The company has topped the wind power order intake for two consecutive years, making it a key player in the worldwide energy transition.

Pacific Green Achieves Planning Consent for its Limestone Coast, South Australia, 1.5GWh Battery Energy Parks

Melbourne, July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pacific Green, a global battery energy storage company, has achieved planning consent from the South Australian Government for its first two grid-scale battery energy parks in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia.

The Limestone Coast Energy Park assets will consist of a 0.5GW / 1.5 GWh battery energy storage system developed and constructed in two phases over the next 36 months. Once operational they will significantly strengthen the region’s grid stability.

As part of the approval process and to minimise local impacts, Pacific Green engaged with numerous independent specialists to assess a wide range of environmental, technical and heritage aspects as well as undertaking targeted stakeholder and community consultation. Construction of the energy parks will commence towards the end of this year, with the first phase expected to be operational in the second half of 2026.

Pacific Green is committed to working with local suppliers and with a local workforce throughout the construction phase, wherever possible. The company has launched a supplier portal and will host a local supplier networking morning in the coming weeks. Interested parties are encouraged to visit: www.pacificgreen.com/aus/community/supplier for more information.

The Limestone Coast Energy Parks mark the first set of assets of an 8.5GWh development pipeline of battery energy parks Pacific Green is rolling out throughout Australia. Leveraging its significant experience building out battery energy parks in the UK and Europe, the company is aiming to be one of Australia’s leading developers, and to help accelerate the country’s transition to renewables by building a multi-gigawatt platform nationwide.

Tom Koutsantonis, Minister for Energy and Mining, Government of South Australia commented: “It’s encouraging to see more private sector investment in energy storage. An increase in storage will provide greater capacity at peak times, extending the availability of electricity generated by cheap renewables. It’s also particularly pleasing that Pacific Green has chosen the South East of South Australia for its project – greater diversity of storage locations will strengthen our security of supply and reliability.”

Joel Alexander, Managing Director & CEO, Pacific Green Australia commented: “This is a major milestone for the Limestone Coast Energy Park assets, and we are pleased that the South Australian Government has recognised the rigorous assessment and community consultation work we have undertaken to date. We look forward to re-engaging with the local community to maximise the tangible economic benefits of the Limestone Coast Energy Parks and to ensure funding and local contracting opportunities are open to all relevant groups. This is a positive and exciting start to an exceptional pipeline of Australian projects to come.”

Scott Poulter, Chairman & Group CEO, Pacific Green commented: “We are very pleased to begin our first development at Limestone Coast in South Australia. With so much local and Government support, this milestone announcement will be one of many to come over the next years as we build out our 8.5GWh pipeline, across Australia.”

Poulter added: “Australia is witnessing one of the world’s fastest growth renewable energy markets, so it is critical that battery energy storage grows at the same pace to support the grid network’s expansion of renewable generation.”
