UNITY DEADLINE ALERT: ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Unity Software Inc. Investors With Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important September 6 Deadline in Securities Class Action – U

NEW YORK, Sept. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Unity Software Inc. (NYSE: U) between March 5, 2021 and May 10, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important September 6, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Unity 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 Unity class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7381 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@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 September 6, 2022. 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 handle 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) deficiencies in Unity’s product platform reduced the accuracy of the Company’s machine learning technology; (2) the foregoing was likely to have a material negative impact on Unity’s revenues; (3) accordingly, Unity had overstated its commercial and/or financial prospects for 2022; (4) as a result, Unity was likely to have to reduce its fiscal 2022 guidance; and (5) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Unity class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7381 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

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.

EMGA advises on US$10M debt raise for Banco D-Miro

LONDON, Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Emerging Markets Global Advisory Limited (EMGA), the niche investment bank focused on emerging markets, announces a Senior Debt raise transaction in Ecuador that will allow Banco D-Miro to continue the expansion of its microcredit lending activities in Ecuador.

The US$10 million debt facility was originated, advised upon, and structured by EMGA with financing provided by U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and the transaction is the first time EMGA has completed an operation in Ecuador.

Commenting on the transaction, Banco D-Miro’s CFO Fabian Victores Baque said, “We appreciate the support of EMGA and DFC to finalize this important transaction. Having a strategic partner such as DFC will help us to meet our objectives of generating more financial inclusion and increasing financing to women microentrepreneurs.”

Jim Polan, Vice President of DFC’s Office of Development Credit, said, “DFC’s investment in Banco D-Miro will expand access to financing, enabling low-income populations and women entrepreneurs in Ecuador to recover from the COVID-19 economic downturn. With a focus on small businesses, this transaction will advance long-term development and economic growth in Ecuador, a key goal for DFC.”

Sajeev Chakkalakal, Managing Director and Head of Investment Banking at EMGA, said, “It was a real pleasure for EMGA to have advised Banco D-Miro on this important transaction aimed at funding their small and medium enterprise loan portfolio with a particular focus on women-owned enterprises. Furthermore, closing yet another transaction with DFC demonstrates the strength of our relationship built across several years. Finally, we believe DFC’s position as a pre-eminent development finance institution will add a new, strategic long term funding source for Banco D-Miro.”

Banco D-Miro: Banco D-Miro is an Ecuadorian bank specialized in microfinance and their vision is to be the bank that contributes the most to the reduction of poverty.

DFC: U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) partners with the private sector to provide financing solutions that aim to address the problems facing the developing world. We invest across sectors including energy, healthcare, critical infrastructure, and technology.

New Study Published in Clinical Cancer Research Journal Highlights Use of EndoPredict Test to Inform Treatment for Premenopausal Breast Cancer Patients

  • Myriad Genetics’ EndoPredict test accurately identified premenopausal women with ER+, HER2- breast cancer who could safely avoid adjuvant chemotherapy

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Myriad Genetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYGN), a leader in genetic testing and precision medicine, announced today Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, published a study 1 that shows the EndoPredict® breast cancer prognostic test significantly predicted distant recurrence in premenopausal women with ER+, HER2- early-stage breast cancer. This newly published study represents the first clinical validation of EndoPredict in a solely premenopausal population.

The study — first presented in an abstract at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting by Anastasia Constantinidou et al2 — examined tumor samples from 385 premenopausal women with ER+, HER2- primary breast cancer who had not received chemotherapy. The results show EndoPredict accurately identified premenopausal women with and without affected lymph nodes who could safely avoid adjuvant chemotherapy as part of their treatment plans due to a very low recurrence risk.

“This important publication on the new EndoPredict data demonstrates our ongoing commitment to advance precision medicine for patients with breast cancer,” said Dr. Ralf Kronenwett, director of International Medical Affairs, Myriad Genetics. “In light of mounting clinical recommendations to reduce overtreatment in breast cancer, the results are particularly encouraging. With around a third of all new breast cancer cases occurring in patients aged 54 or younger3, using EndoPredict among premenopausal women provides important insights to inform personalized treatment, including whether there’s a benefit to using chemotherapy or not.”

The study shows that patients with EndoPredict low-risk scores had a 97% distant recurrence free survival (DRFS) versus 76% for high-risk patients. Importantly, 19% of node-positive premenopausal patients had EndoPredict low-risk scores with 100% DRFS and were able to safely avoid chemotherapy and continue onto endocrine therapy alone.

Another key result from an exploratory subgroup analysis within the study found similar DRFS rates in low-risk patients with or without ovarian function suppression (OFS), with less than 5% distant recurrence after 10 years in both groups.

“This important study shows that premenopausal patients with a low-risk EndoPredict score have a good long-term outcome without chemotherapy and may be considered for treatment with endocrine therapy only,” said Dr. Anastasia Constantinidou, Bank of Cyprus Oncology Centre and Cyprus Cancer Research Institute. “These findings are relevant to better inform personalized treatment decisions for a large proportion of premenopausal women with ER+, HER2- early-stage breast cancer.”

About the study
EndoPredict is a prognostic test that predicts patient risk of breast cancer recurrence to help identify who can consider safely forgoing chemotherapy. It analyzes 12 genes to create a molecular score, which is combined with tumor features, such as tumor size and nodal status, to establish a patient risk score (EPclin).

The Clinical Validation of EndoPredict in Premenopausal Women study tested tumor samples from 385 premenopausal women with ER+, HER2- primary breast cancer (pT1-3, pN0-1) who did not receive chemotherapy in addition to endocrine therapy. All samples were retrospectively tested blinded to clinical and outcome data with EndoPredict. Associations of EPclin Risk Scores with 10-year DRFS were evaluated by Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier analysis. The primary outcome was 10-year DRFS.

In addition to EPclin, clinical variables of interest included age at diagnosis, tumor size, tumor grade, nodal status, Ki 67 expression, and continuous estrogen receptor (ER) expression and progesterone receptor (PgR) expression.

Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners reach final close on CI Energy Transition Fund I at the EUR 3 billion hard cap

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has reached final close on its new fund, CI Energy Transition Fund I (CI ETF I). The fund was oversubscribed and closed at the hard cap of EUR 3 billion. This makes CI ETF I the largest dedicated clean hydrogen fund globally.

CI ETF I achieved commitments from investors across the Nordics (~25% of commitments), Europe (~45%), Asia-Pacific (~20%) and North America (~10%) with approximately a 50/50 split between existing investors in CIP funds and new investors. The fund’s investor base comprises approximately 65 institutional investors, primarily pension funds, life insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, and family offices.

“We are very pleased to welcome a prominent group of existing and new institutional investors to CI ETF I and are delighted that investors share our confidence in and appetite for clean energy infrastructure projects and invest alongside CIP in the next phase of the energy transition. Solutions such as Power-to-X will be key for countries and industries to take the next big leap within reaching the commitments of the Paris agreement and achieving energy independence. As an industry pioneer and one of the global market leaders in greenfield renewable infrastructure investments, CIP is uniquely positioned to invest in this segment,” says Jakob Baruël Poulsen, Managing Partner in CIP.

CI ETF I will invest in next generation renewable energy infrastructure including industrial scale Power-to-X (PtX) projects and enables institutional investors to participate in the decarbonization of the so-called hard to abate industries and support the further integration of renewable power generation in the energy mix through grid balancing. The fund will primarily focus on greenfield projects in the OECD and aims to contribute to the decarbonization of industries such as agriculture, aviation, shipping, chemical manufacturing, and steel production through the use of green fuels and feedstock and CO2-free fertilizers.

CI ETF I make up an integral part of CIP’s distinct fund strategies that tap into the main renewable energy transition trends. The fund will apply the same and proven value creation and de-risking approach as CIP’s existing funds, though with a focus for CI ETF on PtX. CI ETF I will apply CIP’s industrial skills to optimize and de-risk its projects through among others project design, partner selection, and contracting. Once de-risked the projects are expected to have core infrastructure characteristics including long term offtake contracts.

CI ETF I is off to a strong start with FID taken on one investment and ownership on several attractive industrial scale development stage PtX projects with diverse exposure to production technologies and offtake markets. The projects which among others are in Western Europe (Denmark, Norway, Spain, Portugal), South America (Chile), and Australia are expected to produce green hydrogen, green ammonia, and sustainable aviation fuel based on GW scale renewable energy production and electrolysis capacity.

CI ETF I’s current portfolio once operational is estimated to reduce more than 7.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually (or the equivalent to removing ~1.6 million cars from the roads permanently) and deliver more than 4 million tonnes of green fuels each year.

For the marketing of CI ETF I, law firms Plesner and Clifford Chance acted as legal counsel, KPMG Acor Tax as tax advisor, and Selinus Capital Advisors, Compagnie Financière Jacques Coeur (CFJC) and Allen Partners as placement agents.

Saudi Falcons Club: Experts praise the impact of the International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition as global breeders attend the fourth edition in Riyadh

Saudi Falcons Exhibition

The International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2022, has been welcoming visitors and exhibitors from over 30 participating countries with visitation expected to top 500,000 over the course of the event

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Falcon experts from breeding farms around the world have been singing the praises of this year’s International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition just two days into the event.

Now in its fourth year, the exhibition is larger than ever with visitation expected to top 500,000 over the course of the event, which runs from 25th August – 3rd September. Over 350 exhibitors are in attendance and many have shared their delight at the impact the exhibition is having on the industry.

Held at the Saudi Falcons Club HQ at Malham, attendees are greeted by the vast auditorium packed with falconry stalls, memorabilia, technology, equipment, photographs and items detailing the rich history of falconry in Saudi Arabia, including a huge stand showing the important work the Saudi Falcons Club does to promote the art of falconry and also the conservation of birds of prey. Namely with its Hadad project that helps the conservation of both two migratory falcons – the Saker falcon and the Peregrine falcon, along with the two resident birds, the Barbary falcon and the Lanner falcon.

International falcon breeders have been showcasing their stunning birds, with farms being represented from around the world. Numerous breeders from Europe include the UK’s Fox and Desert falcons, France’s SB Falcons and Hura Falcons from Belgium. From further afield, Sullivan Mews are attending from USA while more locally Gulf Falcons are in attendance from Bahrain.

French Breeder Philippe Hertel from SB Falcons said: “It’s my second participation at the exhibition and we are very proud and happy to have our farm here. For us it’s very important to be a part of the event as the business in Saudi Arabia there is a lot of falconers so of course we should be here to present our birds. We specialize in racing and so we have very fast falcons, we have had some winners in the past, so it’s important for the people here to see what we have to offer. The organization of the event is very good, from the shipping to the accommodation etc. It’s the best in the world compared to other events.”

German Breeder Ulf Voss from Voss Falcons said: “It’s the first time we are here, we are very happy to have been invited! We have 38 falcons with a great racing and hunting history. We try to bring the best racing falcons while making some great contacts for the future. We hope to increase our business with Saudi Arabia and so we are here getting our brand name out there to the people within the industry, it’s the most important thing for us right now. Saudi Arabia is the place to be for falconry at the moment and so it’s a really interesting market right now.”

Belgian Breeder Giel Van Haecke from Hura Falcons said: “It is very well organized, and it’s a great place for people to gather, connect and meet. You can’t get any better for the breeder, it’s a great place to sell birds and you need an event like this to make your name. Everyone is very friendly and there is a lot of different birds this year and when you breed quality there is no problem.”

The exhibition has a special section dedicated solely to the history of falconry both in Saudi Arabia and around the world. This area is full of interactive exhibits in place to educate and inspire the next generation of falconers in the Middle East. Other areas include an art gallery, featuring Saudi artist Hila Alhmod who is displaying a stunning Peregrine falcon, which has been created by pyrography. There is also an impressive auction hall for the daily falcon auctions. Education is a huge theme this year and experts are giving daily talks on the art of falconry, and there’s a big emphasis on encouraging the next generation of falconers through motivational speaking and children’s learning areas.

Now in its fourth year, the International Saudi Falcons and Hunting Exhibition 2022, has been welcoming visitors and exhibitors from over 30 participating countries, making it the biggest edition of the event thus far. The event, taking place in Riyadh, runs until 3rd September 2022.
