ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BrainChip Holdings Ltd. (ASX: BRN), a leading provider of ultra-low power high performance AI technology, today announced that Chief Development Officer Anil Mankar will present A Neuromorphic Processor for Power Efficient Edge AI Applications at the Linley Fall Processor Conference 2020 October 20 at 9:30 a.m. PDT. BrainChips presentation is part of the conferences first-day session AI in Edge Devices. As part of the presentation, Mankar will provide an update on the AKD1000, BrainChips first Neural network SoC (NSoC), and describe the advantages of processing information in the event-domain. A 10-minute Q&A session will immediately follow the conclusion of his speech. Many edge-AI processors take advantage of the spatial sparsity in neural network models to eliminate unnecessary computations and save power, said Mankar. But neuromorphic processors achieve further savings by performing event-based computation, which exploits the temporal sparsity inherent in data generated by audio, vision, olfactory, lidar, and other edge sensors. I look forward to sharing with attendees of the Linley Conference how this unique approach is revolutionizing artificial intelligence at the edge. The companys Akida Neural Processor technology, which is implemented in the Neuromorphic System-on-Chip (NSoC), is a revolutionary advanced neural networking processor that brings artificial intelligence to the edge in a way that existing technologies are not capable. The solution is high-performance, small, ultra-low power and enables a wide array of edge capabilities. The Akida NSoC represents a revolutionary new breed of Neural Processing computing devices for Edge AI devices and systems. Comparisons to leading DNN accelerator devices show significantly better images/second/watt running industry standard benchmarks with MobileNet, MobileNet-SSD and Key Word Spotting, while maintaining excellent accuracy. "Industry demand for AI performance has skyrocketed over the last few years, driven by rapid adoption from the data center to the edge, said Linley Gwennap, principal analyst at the Linley Group and Linley Fall Processor Conference chairperson. This year's Linley Fall Processor Conference will feature our biggest program yet and will introduce a host of new technology disclosures and product announcements of innovative processor architectures and IP technologies. In spite of the challenges posed by the pandemic, development of these technologies continues to accelerate and we're excited to be sharing these presentations with a global audience via our live-streamed format." For more than a decade, The Linley Group has delivered the industrys premier processor conference. This year, the Linley Fall Processor Conference will feature virtual presentations that run half days on October 20-22 and 27-29, 2020. Presentations will address processors and IP cores for AI applications, embedded, data center, automotive, and communications. Attendees will be able to view live-streamed presentations and interact with the speakers during Q&A, breakout sessions, or scheduled one-on-one meetings. Additional information about the event is available at https://www.linleygroup.com/events/event.php?num=49 About Brainchip Holdings Ltd (ASX: BRN) BrainChip is a global technology company that is producing a groundbreaking neuromorphic processor that brings artificial intelligence to the edge in a way that is beyond the capabilities of other products. The chip is high performance, small, ultra-low power and enables a wide array of edge capabilities that include on-chip training, learning and inference. The event-based neural network processor is inspired by the spiking nature of the human brain and is implemented in an industry standard digital process. By mimicking brain processing BrainChip has pioneered a processing architecture, called Akida, which is both scalable and flexible to address the requirements in edge devices. At the edge, sensor inputs are analyzed at the point of acquisition rather than through transmission via the cloud to a data center. Akida is designed to provide a complete ultra-low power and fast AI Edge Network for vision, audio, olfactory and smart transducer applications. The reduction in system latency provides faster response and a more power efficient system that can reduce the large carbon footprint of data centers.

And I'd been talking to John weeks before and he said, 'how'd you do that voice? You know, that, that Little Richard voice.' I said, 'I don't know.' I said, 'he's somebody just comes out at the top of my head.' And he said, 'Oh, Hmm.' So here's me. I've, I've, it's not working. And I'm trying to do Kansas City and I'm struggling. I'm at the mic.

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Joe Kravitz of Kravitz Dentistry warns that toothbrushes may spread diseases such a periodontal disease, cavities, the flu and viruses. Many family members store their toothbrushes together in the bathroom, which can be dangerous.Dr. Joseph Kravitz, award-winning dental implants dentist located in Rockville, Maryland, is focused on the prevention of oral and systemic diseases, including COVID-19 / Coronavirus. Continue Reading Dr. Joe Kravitz, Rockville, MD "Purchase new toothbrushes and boil them between brushings to prevent the spread of diseases such the flu and other viruses to you, your family, classmates and coworkers," states Dr. Kravitz. "The Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization have shown that high temperatures kill viruses, bacteria and fungi. Therefore, boiling your toothbrushes reduces the chance of reinfection and spread of the germs to other family members, coworkers, classmates and the community." As shown in his book, Dirty Mouth, germs may grow in your mouth at the rate of 20 billion per hour between brushings. After brushing, the tooth brush is wet, allowing for germs like a virus to continue to live. Boiling your toothbrush can kill the virus allowing for future brushing to be free of harmful germs.Dr. Kravitz has pioneered many minimally invasive surgical techniques, smile innovations, and improvements to the delivery of dental health care. Other dentists seek out instruction and mentorship from Dr. Kravitz, based on his extensive professional history of credentials including a Doctorate of Dental Surgery and a Specialty Certificate in Prosthodontics from the University of Maryland Dental School, a Master of Science in Oral Biology from the University of Maryland Graduate School, and a Fellowship in Implant Dentistry from NYU College of Dentistry. It's important to visit your dentist to reduce the presence of periodontal disease, cavities, infections and cracked teeth for they all can weaken your immune system.

Financial Summary Three Months Ended Year Ended ($ in thousands) (Unaudited) December 31,2020 September 30,2020 December 31,2019 December 31,2020 December 31,2019 Rate lock volume $ 49,711,270 $ 49,280,386 $ 20,347,563 $ 160,984,531 $ 75,262,459 Loan origination volume 37,395,352 27,157,669 16,055,972 100,760,151 45,324,026 Gain on sale margin 3.38 % 4.98 % 2.36 % 4.27 % 2.81 % Financial Results Total revenue $ 1,298,394 $ 1,368,930 $ 415,292 $ 4,312,174 $ 1,337,131 Total expense 750,433 640,014 401,116 2,296,816 1,304,460 Net income 547,170 728,349 16,213 2,013,110 34,420 Non-GAAP Financial Measures(1) Adjusted total revenue $ 1,252,707 $ 1,345,550 $ 407,197 $ 4,252,907 $ 1,346,178 Adjusted net income 375,711 524,819 4,675 1,461,617 31,885 Adjusted EBITDA 530,364 745,499 29,499 2,084,536 124,005 (1)We believe Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting net interest expense), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the amortization of intangibles, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance, as well as certain historical cost (benefit) items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a discussion of how we define and calculate Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income. Operational Results Record rate lock volume of $49.7 billion during the fourth quarter of 2020 resulted in quarterly total revenue of $1.3 billion. Fourth quarter 2020 revenue declined by $70.5 million, or 5%, from the third quarter of 2020 due to gain on sale margins returning to a more normalized level of 3.38% during the fourth quarter of 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, rate lock volume set a Company record at $161.0 billion resulting in total revenue of $4.3 billion from gain on sale margin of 4.27%. Loan origination volume for the fourth quarter of 2020 was also a record at $37.4 billion, an increase of $10.2 billion or 38% from the third quarter of 2020. Loan origination volume for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $100.8 billion, an increase of 122% from loan origination volume for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our Retail and Partner strategies delivered a record $28.3 billion of purchase loan originations during 2020, which represented an increase of 53% from the prior year, while refinance loan originations of $72.5 billion represented an increase of over 170% for the year. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 decreased to $547.2 million as compared to $728.3 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2020 decreased to $375.7 million as compared to $524.8 million for the third quarter of 2020. The quarter over quarter decreases were driven by the decline in gain on sale margin and increased expenses from higher loan origination volume. For the year ended December 31, 2020, net income totaled $2.0 billion and adjusted net income totaled $1.5 billion. Total expenses for the fourth quarter 2020 increased $110.4 million, or 17% from the third quarter 2020, due to higher direct expenses on record loan originations, additional personnel and related expenses to support the growth in our business and higher marketing costs as we expanded our national brand campaign. During the fourth quarter of 2020, our team members grew by 15% to 9,892 compared to our 38% growth in loan originations, which demonstrates our ability to rapidly grow and improve efficiency. Disciplined and purposeful investments in the Company's technology enabled an 8% decline in cost per loan for the full year 2020 as compared 2019. Our data driven marketing efforts and servicing expertise resulted in a customer acquisition cost decline of 28% year over year as well. Other Highlights On February 11, 2021, the Company completed its initial public offering. Since loanDepot did not have any shares outstanding prior to this date, earnings per share information was not determinable. As of February 11, 2021, the Company had 6,068,834 of Class A shares outstanding, 179,431,851 of Class C shares outstanding and 120,642,007 of Class D shares outstanding. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company donated $2.0 million on behalf of our employees to support individuals and families impacted by COVID-19 as well as to support several key charitable organizations. These donations bring the total amount donated in 2020 to support pandemic-relief and philanthropic efforts to $3.0 million. In February of 2021, we entered into a multi-year partnership agreement with Major League Baseball wherein loanDepot was named "Official Mortgage Provider" of Major League Baseball. This partnership further expands our brand reach and reinforces our brand promise to millions of MLB fans nationwide. We believe our position as the second most recognized mortgage brand grew even stronger through our ongoing national television ad campaign delivering over 7 billion household impressions from May through December 2020. Our extensive data analytics also allowed us to capitalize on the 1.6 million average monthly website visits and 330 million online media exposures during the fourth quarter of 2020. Balance Sheet Highlights % Change ($ in thousands) (Unaudited) December 31,2020 September 30,2020 December 31,2019 Dec - 20vsSep - 20 Dec - 20vs.Dec - 19 Cash and cash equivalents $ 284,224 $ 637,511 $ 73,301 (55.4) % 287.7 % Loans held for sale, at fair value 6,955,424 4,888,364 3,681,840 42.3 88.9 Servicing rights, at fair value 1,127,866 780,451 447,478 44.5 152.0 Warehouse and other lines of credit 6,577,429 4,601,062 3,466,567 43.0 89.7 Total liabilities 9,236,615 7,017,792 4,576,626 31.6 101.8 Total equity 1,656,613 1,633,521 375,885 1.4 340.7 Record quarterly originations drove an increase in loans held for sale at December31, 2020, which increased by 42% from the prior quarter to $7.0 billion. The balance on our warehouse lines of credit increased by 43% during the quarter due to the increased origination activity. Total funding capacity with our lending partners increased to $8.1 billion at December31, 2020 from $5.5 billion at September 30, 2020. The increase of $2.6 billion was due to the addition of two new facilities with two and three year maturity dates as well as increases to existing facilities. Available borrowing capacity was $1.5 billion at December 31, 2020. Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents was $284.2 million at December31, 2020. The decrease in cash from September 30, 2020 was primarily due to earnings offset by tax distributions of $71.1 million as required under the Company's operating agreement and profit distributions of $453.8 million as allowed under the Company's operating agreement. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights increased by 45%, or $347.4 million during the fourth quarter to a record $1.1 billion. This increase was driven by $411.3 million of new additions, partially offset by runoff of $80.0 million. During the fourth quarter of 2020, servicing retained loan sales increased as a result of the record level of loan originations.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income as non-GAAP measures. We believe Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting net interest expense), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the amortization of intangibles, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance, as well as certain historical cost (benefit) items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. We define "Adjusted Total Revenue" as total revenues, net of the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") and the related hedging gains and losses. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs on non-funding debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of MSRs, net of the related hedging gains and losses, change in fair value of contingent consideration, stock compensation expense and management fees, and IPO related expense. We define "Adjusted Net Income" as tax-effected earnings before stock compensation expense and management fees, IPO expense, and the change in fair value of MSRs, net of the related hedging gains and losses, and the tax effects of those adjustments. Adjustments for income taxes are made to reflect LD Holdings historical results of operations on the basis that it was taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. We exclude from each of these non-GAAP measures the change in fair value of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses as this represents a non-cash non-realized adjustment to our total revenues, reflecting changes in assumptions including discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, which is not indicative of our performance or results of operations. We also exclude stock compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, management fees and IPO expenses as management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of "net interest income (expense)", as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows. Because of these limitations, Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income are not intended as alternatives to total revenue, net income (loss), or net income attributable to the Company or as an indicator of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. See below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGS: SPPI), a biopharmaceutical company focused on novel and targeted oncology therapies, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has agreed to the submission of an NDA based on data from Cohort 2 of its Phase 2 clinical trial, ZENITH20, which evaluated previously treated patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with HER2 exon 20 insertion mutations. The company also reported that its pre-specified primary endpoint in its Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating poziotinib in first-line NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations was not met in Cohort 3. Spectrum additionally reported that preliminary data from patients receiving 8 mg of poziotinib twice daily demonstrated meaningful improvement in tolerability as measured by adverse events and dosing interruptions. The agreement with the FDA to proceed with the submission of a new drug application is a significant milestone for the poziotinib program, said Joe Turgeon, President and CEO of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals. The improved tolerability from the BID dosing could have a meaningful impact on the overall safety and efficacy profile of poziotinib in an area of high unmet medical need. The company had a successful pre-NDA meeting with the FDA which resulted in an agreement to submit an NDA for poziotinib. During the meeting, Spectrum confirmed with the FDA that Cohort 2 data could serve as the basis of an NDA submission. The company will continue to work with the FDA as it prepares the application for submission in 2021. Cohort 2 enrolled 90 patients who received an oral once daily dose of 16 mg of poziotinib. The intent-to-treat analysis demonstrated a confirmed objective response rate (ORR) of 27.8% (95% Confidence Interval (CI), 18.9%-38.2%). The observed lower bound of 18.9% exceeded the pre-specified lower bound of 17%. The median duration of response was 5.1 months and the median progression free survival was 5.5 months. In this cohort, 87% of patients had drug interruptions with 11 patients (12%) permanently discontinuing due to adverse events. 13 patients (14%) had treatment-related serious adverse events. We are pleased that the FDA meeting confirmed that Cohort 2 data can serve as the basis of a NDA submission and our team is diligently working on preparing our file for submission in 2021, said Francois Lebel, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals. While Cohort 3 did not meet its pre-specified ORR endpoint, we are seeing evidence of clinical activity with a disease control rate (DCR) of 86% and progression free survival data of 7.2 months. Dr. Lebel added, The preliminary data from Cohort 5 with 8 mg twice daily dosing is supporting our hypothesis that this new dosing paradigm improves tolerability substantially, with Grade 3 adverse events reduced by about a third. We believe that improved tolerability and reduced drug dosing interruptions are key to patients staying on the drug longer and could potentially enhance anti-tumor effectiveness across the various EGFR and HER2 cohorts. These early findings, if confirmed, could benefit the entire poziotinib program. Cohort 3 of the ZENITH20 clinical trial enrolled a total of 79 patients who received an oral once daily dose of 16 mg of poziotinib. The median time of follow up of all patients was 9.2 months with 12 ongoing patients still on treatment. The intent-to-treat analysis showed that 22 patients had a partial response (by RECIST) and 68 patients had stable disease for an 86.1% DCR. 91% of patients experienced tumor reduction with a median reduction of 25.5%. The confirmed ORR was 27.8% (95% CI 18.4-39.1%). Based on the pre-specified statistical hypothesis for the primary endpoint, the observed lower bound of 18.4% did not meet the pre-specified lower bound of >20%. The median duration of response was 6.5 months and the median progression free survival was 7.2 months. The safety profile was similar with the type of adverse events observed with other second-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Grade 3 treatment related rash was 33% and diarrhea was 23%. 94% of patients had drug interruptions with 6 patients (8%) permanently discontinuing due to adverse events. Preliminary data from Cohort 5 for patients with exon 20 insertion mutations receiving 8 mg twice daily dosing shows improved tolerability versus patients who received the 16 mg once daily dose. The data from this cohort includes patients with both EGFR and HER2 mutations. In Cycle 1, the incidence of Grade 3 or higher treatment related adverse events (rash, diarrhea and stomatitis) decreased by 32% for patients receiving the 8 mg twice daily dose. In addition, dose interruptions were reduced by 38% for the 8 mg twice daily dose versus the 16 mg once daily dose. No new types of adverse events were observed with the twice daily dosing regimen.

About Poziotinib Poziotinib is a novel, oral epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR TKI) that inhibits the tyrosine kinase activity of EGFR as well as HER2 and HER4. Importantly this, in turn, leads to the inhibition of the proliferation of tumor cells that overexpress these receptors. Mutations or overexpression/amplification of EGFR family receptors have been associated with a number of different cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), breast cancer, and gastric cancer. The company holds an exclusive license from Hanmi Pharmaceuticals to develop, manufacture, and commercialize poziotinib worldwide, excluding Korea and China. Poziotinib is currently being investigated by the company and Hanmi in several mid-stage trials in multiple solid tumor indications. About ZENITH20 The ZENITH20 trial is comprised of 7 independent cohorts. Cohorts 1 - 4 are each independently powered for a pre-specified statistical hypothesis with a primary endpoint of ORR. Cohorts 5 - 7 are exploratory. In December 2019, the company reported that the primary endpoint for Cohort 1 (EGFR) was not met but clinical activity was seen. Based on the results of Cohort 1, the company has amended the protocol for ZENITH20 to explore additional twice-daily dosing regimens as well as lower single daily dosage. In September 2020, the company reported that Cohort 2 met its primary endpoint. Cohorts 4 - 7 are still enrolling patients. About Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

DUBLIN, Dec. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Increasing Adoption of Low-cost Devices with Simple Designs in Response to COVID-19 to Disrupt the US & EU-5 Ventilator Market, 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Revenue for the US & EU-5 ventilators market is expected to increase by 370.7% in 2020 driven by the ongoing Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) situation. The home care segment is expected to see a comparatively strong growth potential post-pandemic. This study assesses the revenue growth impact on different ventilator market segments. It also analyzes future growth opportunities for industry participants in light of the following strategic imperatives - geopolitical chaos due to the pandemic situation and the increasing number of critical care patient admits requiring ventilator use; adoption of disruptive technologies for ventilator designs and assistive technologies; and increasing competition due to the widening demand-supply gap and relaxed regulations. Further, this study provides an evaluation of 9 different growth opportunities from the perspectives of supply chain optimization, technology focus, vertical expansion, customer and branding, new product development and others. Supply chain disruption, excess of low-cost and sub-standard ventilators, and shortage of trained healthcare staff are seen as key market restraints. Three examples of key growth opportunities evaluated are: Remote ventilator surveillance for better care management Strategic geographic expansion for improving market access Targeted brand positioning for improved market penetration Key Topics Covered: Strategic Imperatives Why Is It Increasingly Difficult to Grow?

The European Equity Fund, Inc. and The New Germany Fund, Inc. Investing in foreign securities, particularly of emerging markets, presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market or a particular geographical region will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. The Central and Eastern Europe Fund, Inc. Investing in foreign securities presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Any fund that focuses in a particular segment of the market or region of the world will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. This fund is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. The shares of most closed-end funds, including the Funds, are not continuously offered. Once issued, shares of closed-end funds are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net asset value. The price of a funds shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, a fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below, or above net asset value. Investments in funds involve risk. Additional risks of the Funds are associated with international investing, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, market risks, government regulations and differences in liquidity, which may increase the volatility of your investment. Foreign security markets generally exhibit greater price volatility and are less liquid than the US market. Additionally, the Funds focus their investments in certain geographical regions, thereby increasing their vulnerability to developments in that region and potentially subjecting the Funds shares to greater price volatility. Some funds have more risk than others. These include funds, such as the Funds, that allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments in certain sectors, geographic regions, security types, market capitalization, or foreign securities (e.g., political or economic instability, which can be accentuated in emerging market countries). The European Union, the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions on Russia in response to Russian military and other actions in recent years. These sanctions have adversely affected Russian individuals, issuers and the Russian economy. Russia, in turn, has imposed sanctions targeting Western individuals, businesses and products. The various sanctions have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, not only the Russian economy, but also the economies of many countries in Europe, including countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The continuation of current sanctions or the imposition of additional sanctions may materially adversely affect the value of the Funds portfolios. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state or jurisdiction. War, terrorism, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises (including the recent pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus) and related geopolitical events could lead to increased market volatility, disruption to US and world economies and markets and may have significant adverse effects on the fund and their investments.

ATLANTA, Feb.3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Q3 Fiscal Year 2021 Highlights Net income from continuing operations of $195 million, up 82% YoY; excluding special items, net income of $209 million Shipments of 933 kilotonnes, up 17% YoY Adjusted EBITDA of $501 million, up 46% YoY Adjusted EBITDA per ton of $537, up 25% YoY Focus on deleveraging resulted in net leverage ratio improvement to 3.3x from 3.8x at acquisition close Integration work continues with $54 million run-rate acquisition cost synergies achieved through end of Q3 Novelis Inc., the world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, today reported a net income attributable to its common shareholder of $176 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, and net income from continuing operations of $195 million, up 64 percent and 82 percent, respectively, versus the prior year. Excluding tax-effected special items in both years, third quarter fiscal 2021 net income was a record high $209 million, up 58 percent versus the prior year period, driven mainly by higher after-tax Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization associated with the acquisition of Aleris. Adjusted EBITDA increased 46 percent to $501 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $343 million in the prior year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is due to organic growth, favorable metal benefits, and a net $50 million positive EBITDA contribution from the acquired Aleris business. The current quarter also includes a positive $25 million from a year-to-date customer contractual obligation. On a consolidated basis, Novelis achieved a record EBITDA per ton shipped of $537 in the third quarter, compared to $430 in the prior year. Net sales increased 19 percent from the prior year period to $3.2 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily driven by a seventeen percent increase in total shipments and higher average aluminum prices. Total flat rolled product shipments increased to 933 kilotonnes, mainly reflecting the addition of the acquired Aleris business and strong demand across product end markets, particularly beverage can. "Novelis achieved record financial performance in the third quarter based on continued demand for innovative, sustainable aluminum solutions and outstanding operational performance across our expanded business," said Steve Fisher, President and CEO, Novelis Inc. "We are also making excellent progress on our strategic growth initiatives to drive long term value, by investing in new capacity and technology, entering new partnerships to solidify aluminum as the material of choice for our customers, and bringing new alloys to market that will drive the industry forward." Year-to-date fiscal 2021 free cash flow from continuing operations of $331 million compares to $61 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by higher Adjusted EBITDA, favorable working capital and lower capital expenditures. Capital expenditures of $333 million are down 23% versus the prior year as spending is prioritized to support maintenance activities and organic, strategic capacity projects underway. The greenfield Guthrie, Kentucky, automotive finishing plant in the U.S. shipped its first customer coils in December, while the new automotive finishing line in Changzhou, China, is expected to start commercial production in the fourth quarter this fiscal year. The recycling, casting and rolling expansion in Brazil remains on track to commission in the middle of fiscal year 2022. Nine Months Ended December31, (in $ millions, non-GAAP measures) 2020 2019 Free cash flow from continuing operations $ 331 $ 61 Capital expenditures 333 430 Free cash flow from continuing operations before capital expenditures $ 664 $ 491 Net leverage improved during the quarter to 3.3x, compared to 3.8x at the close of the Aleris acquisition in the first quarter fiscal 2021. This reduction is a factor of both stronger Adjusted EBITDA, as well as a $500 million reduction in the Company's short term bridge loan due 2022. "We are delivering on our commitments to improve net leverage through debt reduction resulting from strong cash flow generation," said Devinder Ahuja, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Novelis Inc. "With a favorable demand outlook, robust acquisition synergy savings, and prioritized capital spending, we now anticipate achieving our targeted net leverage level of below 3x earlier than the end of fiscal year 2022 as previously guided." The company continues to maintain a very strong total liquidity position of $2.4 billion as of December31, 2020. COVID-19 ResponseNovelis' primary focus remains the health and well-being of its employees. The company is closely monitoring the changing landscape with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic and taking actions to manage its business and support customers. Novelis has bolstered its Environmental Health and Safety protocols to align with guidance from global health authorities and government agencies across company operations to help ensure the safety of its employees, customers, suppliers, communities and other stakeholders. Customer demand has recovered to pre-COVID levels in most end markets, and Novelis will continue to work closely with customers to leverage its global manufacturing footprint and adjust production levels to meet their needs. Update on Aleris Acquisition, Integration and Required DivestmentsOn April 14, 2020, Novelis closed its acquisition of Aleris Corporation and is integrating the two companies to drive a number of strategic benefits and allow for at least $180 million in potential annual synergies. The results from continuing operations reported today for the period ending December 31, 2020 reflect the acquired businesses. Results related to the Duffel and Lewisport plants are reflected as results from discontinued operations. The company filed a form 8-K/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2020, providing historical and pro forma financial information related to the acquisition. On November 30, 2020, Novelis completed the required divestment of the Lewisport automotive body sheet business to American Industrial Partners, a private equity firm. Upon closing, Novelis received $180 million in cash proceeds. The required divestment of the Duffel plant was previously completed in September, 2020. With divestments now complete, Novelis is focusing on the safe integration of the continuing operations to drive value creation. Novelis' acquisition of Aleris provides a strong pro-forma financial profile, many strategic benefits, namely securing an integrated manufacturing footprint in China, further portfolio diversification with the addition of aerospace and building and construction, well as new technology and operational capabilities.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against bluebird bio, Inc. ("bluebird" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BLUE) and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, and docketed under 21-cv-00777, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants that purchased or otherwise acquired bluebird securities between May 11, 2020 and November 4, 2020, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials. If you are a shareholder who purchased bluebird securities during the Class Period, you have until April 13, 2021to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com.To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at [emailprotected]or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of shares purchased. [Click here for information about joining the class action] bluebird is a biotechnology company that engages in researching, developing, and commercializing transformative gene therapies for severe genetic diseases and cancer. The Company's gene therapy programs include, among others, LentiGlobin (bb1111) for the treatment of sickle cell disease ("SCD"). In May 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, bluebird announced that the Company expected to submit a U.S. Biologics Licensing Application ("BLA") to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for LentiGlobin for SCD in the second half of 2021. Throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) data supporting bluebird's BLA submission for LentiGlobin for SCD was insufficient to demonstrate drug product comparability; (ii) Defendants downplayed the foreseeable impact of disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's BLA submission schedule for LentiGlobin for SCD, particularly with respect to manufacturing; (iii) as a result of all the foregoing, it was foreseeable that the Company would not submit the BLA for LentiGlobin for SCD in the second half of 2021; and (iv) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. On November 4, 2020, post-market, bluebird disclosed that it would no longer apply for FDA approval of its LentiGlobin product as a treatment for SCD in the second half of 2021 as expected. Instead, citing "feedback" from the FDA requiring the Company to provide additional data "to demonstrate drug product comparability" for LentiGlobin for SCD, "alongside COVID-19 related shifts and contract manufacturing organization COVID-19 impacts," bluebird adjusted its submission timing to late 2022. On this news, bluebird's stock price fell $9.72 per share, or 16.6%, to close at $48.83 per share on November 5, 2020. The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Paris is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 80 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com CONTACT:Robert S.

Key Highlights Offered in the Report: Asia is expected to become of the most lucrative market for plant-based pork and accounted for over 15% of the market, where the African Swine Fever has reported to disrupt the pork supply. In North America, the plant-based chicken is expected to witness the fastest growth, followed by plant-based fish which is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 20% during the forecast period.

The demand for wheat protein products has been declining considerably, owing to the growing incidence of gluten allergies. The rising health consciousness among consumers is also boosting the demand for gluten-free products. Increased efforts to enhance consumer awareness of the environmental impact of beef consumption is driving consumers to opt for sustainable substitutes. Beef substitutes are expected to continue to drive market growth in the future. Plant-based beef is still a niche segment in the global plant-based meat market and has enormous growth opportunities in the recent future, with growing penetration and demand for plant-based substitutes. As meat consumption is decreasing, the demand for an alternative product among non-vegan consumers. The positioning of vegan meat in the chilled meat department is expected to witness significant growth in demand. Moreover, Generation Z and millennial consumers are particularly perceiving chilled foods as more premium and fresher than frozen food, which is expected to boost the refrigerated meat market growth.

However, some processed vegan food options contain additives and ingredients that consumers seek to avoid. Clean label has moved from fad to mainstream, and several large and small brands are addressing the growing desire by reformulating ingredients of concern while ensuring that the ingredients are not only preferred by consumers but also function well in the finished product. Key Drivers and Trends fueling Market Growth: Growing Investment in Plant-Based Food Market Growth in Technology & Innovation Growth of Vegan Population Growing Concerns Regarding Environmental Sustainability Plant-Based Meat Market Geography The changing consumption patterns, emerging flexitarian, and vegan diets, rising environmental concerns, growing demand for better-for-you products in North America are driving the market for plant-based meat market in the region.

PITTSBURGH, June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --While automotive manufacturers prioritize comfort for consumers, commercial trucks and passenger cars can become uncomfortable on long rides and are not equipped to fulfill the need for bathroom facilities in an emergency. Fortunately, an inventor from Los Angeles, Calif., has come up with a backup plan for such situations. He developed TRUCKERS COMFORT KIT to relieve pressure on the tailbone while sitting in a truck or car to help reduce the chances of developing hemorrhoids. At the same time, it provides a discreet way to relieve oneself in a motor vehicle when no rest room is available. By keeping toilet facilities readily accessible on the road, it enhances comfort for truckers and other travelers for overall good health. Users will also appreciate how convenient, effective and affordably priced it is. In addition, this lightweight, portable accessory is also easy to transport and use. The inventor's professional experience inspired the idea. "Sitting for extended periods of time as a long distance trucker, I found the seat so uncomfortable that I was concerned about getting hemorrhoids," he said. "Also, on these trips it was difficult to find a bathroom when I needed one and thought a portable unit would address both issues." The original design was submitted to the Los Angeles sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

'Asleep in the Back' was the album that introduced elbow to the world. Produced by Ben Hillier (Blur, Doves, Depeche Mode) and containing the singles; 'Newborn,' 'Any Day Now,' 'Red' and 'Powder Blue,' it established the band with the UK public and led to Mercury Award and Brit Award nominations. The album closes with perennial fan favorite 'Scattered Black and Whites,' recently revisited by the band in lockdown for their elbowrooms sessions. 'Cast of Thousands,' recorded at legendary Liverpool's legendary Parr Street Studios, with Ben Hiller again at the helm, introduced cover stars Elle and Bo to the world, their life size statues causing traffic jams when sited next to the motorway during festival dates to promote the album. Taking its title from the vocal contributions of the Glastonbury crowd to 'Grace Under Pressure,' recorded in a landmark performance on The Other Stage in 2002, the album artwork features the names of all those who contacted the band to say, 'yes, I was there and singing.' An early indicator of elbow's power to produce inclusive, uplifting moments, 'Cast of Thousands' also features 'Fugitive Motel' another track featured during the recent elbowrooms recordings.

MT. LAUREL, N.J., March 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Pinnacle Treatment Centers, a leader in providing accessible, affordable treatment for individuals struggling with substance abuse, has opened Athens Treatment Services, Hamilton Treatment Services and Solon Treatment Services in Ohio. Athens Treatment Servicesis located at 8978 United Lane, Suite 102, in Athens; Hamilton Treatment Services is located in 8500 Bilstein Blvd in Hamilton; and Solon Treatment Services is located at 29201 Aurora Road, Suite 500, in Solon. The community-based programs are among Pinnacle's 19 outpatient opioid addiction treatment centers in the Buckeye State with more on the way. In addition, Pinnacle operates a detox unitRecovery Works Portagein Ravenna; a residential treatment centerRecovery Worksin Columbus; and intensive outpatient programs with recovery homes, also in Columbus. 2020 proved to be a devastating year, not just because of COVID deaths, but because of the overdose deaths that also resulted from the coronavirus pandemic. A news release issued by the office of the Ohio Attorney General David Yost in January stated that more Ohioans died of an opioid overdose during a three-month period last year than at any time since the opioid epidemic began. Athens, Butler, and Cuyahoga Counties are three of the many areas that have seen an increase in drug-related deaths and continue to be afflicted by opioid abuse. "Ohio needs more treatment. We're trying to meet that need as quickly as possible with quality, affordable care," said Joe Pritchard, CEO, Pinnacle Treatment Centers, which offers a full continuum of care throughout Ohio. A U.S. Navy veteran, Pritchard went through his own recovery journey more than 45 years ago and has made it his personal mission to help others overcome the disease of addiction. "Addiction can affect anyone, your neighbor, your friend, your co-worker, your loved one. And this is how we can be impactful, by being embedded in the communities that need help the most." Medicaid-friendly, all three centers provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT), particularly methadone, at the facilities. MAT is the gold standard of care for opioid addiction and includes methadone, buprenorphine, Vivitrol, and counseling. The FDA-approved medicines work to curb withdrawal symptoms from heroin and pain pill addiction; prevent relapse; and help ease the physical discomfort that accompanies opioid recovery. Individual and group counseling is provided as part of a holistic approach to patient care. Relapse prevention, nutrition education, life skills counseling, meditation strategies, and trigger identification and management are a few areas of focus. Holly Broce, president of Pinnacle's opioid treatment program division, said, "It's been a painful year for so many individuals. Unfortunately, many have turned to drugs and alcohol to cope. Overdoses have spiked almost everywhere, but it's important to remember, any amount of overdoses is too many." The ultimate goal of MAT is full recovery, including the ability to live a self-directed life. This treatment approach has been shown to improve patient survival; increase retention in treatment; decrease illicit opioid use and other criminal activity; increase patients' ability to gain and maintain employment; and more. All three centers accept Medicaid, commercial insurance, and offer reasonable self-pay rates. Their hours are Mondays through Fridays, 6 a.m.- 2 p.m., and on Saturdays, 6 a.m.- 9 a.m. Individuals can call Athens at 740-274-4246; Hamilton at 513-285-9583; and Solon at 440-337-4349 for a free confidential assessment. About Pinnacle Treatment Centers Headquartered in New Jersey, Pinnacle Treatment Centers is a recognized leader in comprehensive drug and alcohol addiction treatment serving nearly 33,000 patients daily in California (Aegis Treatment Centers), Georgia (HealthQwest), Indiana, Kentucky, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. With more than 115 community-based locations, Pinnacle provides a full continuum of quality care including medically-monitored detoxification/withdrawal management, residential treatment, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programming with recovery homes, and outpatient medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder.

Biofuel has the potential of putting shipping on the trajectory towards IMO's greenhouse gas reduction targets, without having to wait for new technology and zero-carbon fuels to emerge as commercially viable options.Our recent trial, where a cross-Atlantic voyage was conducted with 100% waste-based biofuel, proved the technical and operational feasibility of using biofuels in regular tanker operations, and Stena Bulk is now taking it one step further by introducing a set of low-carbon shipping options for its customers. The options will range from 20% to 100% biofuels and will be based on an offsetting program where the biofuel is used within the Stena Bulk fleet. This allows customers to make use of low-carbon shipping options regardless of fuel availability on the specific route. It also guarantees that operation is performed without any disturbance to the shipment."Performing according to our customers' expectations is our highest priority, and this setup allows us to continue to do that while also offering a service," says Erik Hnell, President and CEO for Stena Bulk. "It will be one way to take actions in meeting future requirements. This type of fuel is one step in many combined sustainable solutions that needs to be considered and can be used today." Offering low-carbon shipping options is initially an ambitious initiative, but is reflective of Stena Bulk's ambition to reduce the environmental footprint of tanker operations through innovation. New fuels and new technology like Stena Bulk's recently presented IMOFlexMAX vessel design will also be important in that we can test and learn through challenges and thus take further steps in developments for the future. Collaboration within the industry will also be a key element, and the company will continue to develop new solutions together with customers, partners and suppliers."We need to come together as an industry to find solutions that comply with future legislation," says Erik Hnell. "By working together, sharing experiences, risks and inspiring each other, we are convinced that we will meet the targets and ensure that shipping remains the most efficient and sustainable mode of transportation."Stena Bulk MR vesselStena Immortalran on 100% biofuel during a 10-day sea trial.https://youtu.be/r5ARF2aEDdgAbout Stena BulkWith offices in seven countries,Stena Bulkis one of the world's leading tanker shipping companies.
