LEAD PLAINTIFF DEADLINE: OCTOBER 3, 2023

CLASS PERIOD: FEBRUARY 23, 2022 THROUGH JULY 28, 2023

Jonathan Naji, Esq. at (484) 270-1453 or via email at info@ktmc.com

Kessler Topaz is one of the world’s foremost advocates in protecting the public against corporate fraud and other wrongdoing. Our securities fraud litigators are regularly recognized as leaders in the field individually and our firm is both feared and respected among the defense bar and the insurance bar. We are proud to have recovered billions of dollars for our clients and the classes of shareholders we represent.

LIVE NATION’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
Live Nation and Ticketmaster merged in January 2010 but were under a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) to preserve competition in the live events market. In 2019, Live Nation faced federal scrutiny for pressuring concert venues to use Ticketmaster over other systems in five incidents, which would have violated the consent decree. To resolve these claims, the company extended the consent decree to expire in December 2025 and added new provisions. Pursuant to the amended consent decree, Live Nation agreed to abide by a set of rules, including not threatening to condition the provision of Live Nation concerts on a venue choosing Ticketmaster or retaliate in response to a venue choosing a ticketing service provider other than Ticketmaster. The company is subject to an automatic penalty of $1 million for each violation.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Live Nation engaged in anticompetitive conduct, including charging high fees and extended contracts with talent, and retaliated against venues; (2) as a result, Live Nation was reasonably likely to incur regulatory scrutiny and face fines, penalties, and reputational harm; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

The truth began to emerge on November 18, 2022, when The New York Times reported that the DOJ had opened an antitrust investigation into Ticketmaster and Live Nation after the ticketing platform’s systems crashed during a highly-anticipated presale for Taylor Swift tickets. The ensuing chaos of disappointed “Swifties” highlighted Live Nation’s power over the live music industry, exacerbating complaints that Live Nation has “constrained competition and harmed consumers.” Following this news, Live Nation’s stock price fell $5.64, or 7.8%, to close at $66.21 per share on November 18, 2022.

Then, on February 23, 2023, NPR reported that, following Congressional hearings, the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights wrote to the DOJ, presenting evidence that “Live Nation is harming America’s music industry.” The letter stated, among other things, issues with Live Nation’s pricing models and fees, increasingly long contracts with competitors, and retaliatory behavior against artists and venues that don’t want to work with it. The senators “encourage[d]” the DOJ to take action if it found Live Nation had “walled itself off from competitive pressure at the expense of the industry and fans.” Following this news, Live Nation’s stock price fell $7.71, or 10.1%, to close at $68.78 per share on February 24, 2023, on unusually heavy trading volume.

Finally, on July 28, 2023, Politico reported that the DOJ “could file an antitrust lawsuit against [Live Nation and Ticketmaster] by the end of the year, according to three people with knowledge of the matter.” Politico further reported that the DOJ complaint is expected to allege that “the entertainment giant is abusing its power over the live music industry.” Following this news, Live Nation’s stock price fell $7.60, or 7.8%, to close at $89.33 per share on July 28, 2023.

WHAT CAN I DO?
Live Nation investors may, no later than October 3, 2023, move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff for the class, through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages Live Nation investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information. The class action complaint against Live Nation, Donley v. Live Nation Entertainment, Inc., et al., Case No. 23-cv-6343, is filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

These errors were discovered in the course of preparing [American Coastal’s] interim financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, and included errors in [American Coastal’s] accounting for income tax expense primarily relating to the deconsolidation of [American Coastal’s] former subsidiary, United Property & Casualty Insurance Company.” Accordingly, American Coastal determined that the statements at issue should no longer be relied upon.

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – September 23, 2023 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of UiPath, Inc. (NYSE: PATH) between April 21, 2021 and March 30, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important November 6, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the UiPath class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=19012 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.

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

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) UiPath had enacted a widespread discounting program prior to its initial public offering (“IPO”), which had the effect of temporarily boosting UiPath’s revenue and annualized recurring revenue (“ARR”) metrics, cannibalizing its future sales, eroding UiPath’s margins, and increasing the risk of client churn; (2) UiPath’s actual total addressable market was not as large as portrayed by defendants, because many companies included in UiPath’s market survey did not need the type of high-cost, high-functionality automation products offered by UiPath; (3) UiPath was losing customers to Microsoft, ServiceNow, SAP, Salesforce, IBM, and other established enterprise software vendors that were building automation into their platforms; (4) UiPath was losing customers due to the increased availability of low-code automation software offered by vendors, such as Microsoft’s Power Automate software, which were capable of addressing the majority of customer use cases at a fraction of the price of UiPath’s products and services; and (5) UiPath was suffering from a loss of channel sales due to strained relationships with UiPath’s partners as a result of increased competition between UiPath and these partners. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

The “Asian Games Letterbox” Malaysia Stop Concludes with Resounding Success, with Great Anticipation from the Local Populace for the Asian Games Hangzhou 2022

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 23 September 2023 – To better propagate the spirit of the Asian Games and foster greater understanding among the Asian people of both the Games and China, the “Asian Games Letterbox” is an initiative under the esteemed guidance of the Publicity Department of the CPC Hangzhou Municipal Committee and the Information Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Government; Phoenix Satellite Television and ifeng.com invite local people across multiple nations and regions in Asia to handwrite messages of goodwill for the Asian Games.

“Following this prolonged wait, I firmly believe that the Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 and the city of Hangzhou itself will assuredly bestow upon the entire Asian continent a delightful surprise,” one Chinese expatriate who has been engaged in business in Malaysia for several decades remarked to reporters during their participation in the “Asian Games Letterbox” event.

On September 16, 2023, just one week before the commencement of the Asian Games Hangzhou 2022, the “Asian Games Letterbox” initiative arrived at its third destination, Malaysia. Early that day, the “Asian Games Letterbox” stationed at renowned landmarks such as the Petronas Twin Towers, Merdeka Square, Central Market, The Starhill, and Pavilion KL in Kuala Lumpur, were officially inaugurated in Malaysia. As soon as this event was launched, it rapidly disseminated within the local Malaysian Chinese social circles and across social media platforms, garnering enthusiastic participation from many overseas compatriots and local residents in Malaysia.

During an interview with the “Global Insights”, a Malaysian citizen expressed, “Through the city brochures of Hangzhou, I have gained a deeper understanding of this enchanting city. I hope to have the opportunity to personally visit Hangzhou in the future to experience the allure of this beautiful city. I also wish that, amidst their athletic pursuits, the athletes could visit Hangzhou, feeling the warmth and hospitality of the Chinese people.”

The Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 has seen over 12,500 athletes register for participation, marking the largest-scale Asian Games in history and a monumental sporting extravaganza across the entire Asian continent. Malaysia’s delegation boasts traditional strengths in sports such as badminton and squash, and in this Asian Games Hangzhou 2022, they are setting their sights on gold medals in these disciplines.

A local resident in Malaysia said, “In the past, we had top-tier badminton athletes like Lee Chong Wei, and even though he has retired, I still have faith that our badminton players can achieve outstanding results in this Asian Games Hangzhou 2022; I am well aware of China’s prowess in badminton as well, and I hope that both nations can engage in a head-to-head competition on the field, delivering a splendid match for spectators.”

On the day of the event, thousands of local residents from Malaysia participated in the activity. They inscribe their most heartfelt wishes for the Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 in both Chinese and English upon postcards and cast them into the “Asian Games Letterboxes”. This event will further extend its reach to locations such as Japan and Macau, China. Among the participants, fortunate individuals will have a chance to win tickets to the Asian Games Hangzhou 2022.

The Asian Games Hangzhou 2022 serves not only as the pinnacle stage for athletic competition in Asia but also as an important platform for diplomatic, cultural, and economic exchanges. Outstanding athletes from various Asian countries and regions will contribute to a splendid display of sporting excellence. Moreover, the gathering of countries in Hangzhou will create a beautiful scene of unity and friendship, shaping a stable global order.

Athletes from various countries, traveling from afar, arrive in Hangzhou not only with a resolute determination to excel but also with a mission of fostering friendly exchanges. The spectators from different places worldwide will shower these athletes with the most heartfelt applause.

Launch of Carousell Campus: Leading the future of secondhand with recommerce, cultivating talent and contributing back to the startup ecosystem

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 23 September 2023 – Carousell Group, the leading multi-category platform for secondhand in Greater Southeast Asia, celebrates the onset of its second decade with a homecoming to LaunchPad @ one-north, the site of its inaugural office. The Group announced today the official opening of its new regional headquarters, Carousell Campus, dedicated to advancing recommerce capabilities as part of its goal to make buying and selling secondhand items more trusted and convenient.

Carousell’s new regional headquarters at LaunchPad @ one-north
Carousell’s new regional headquarters at LaunchPad @ one-north

During the launch event of Carousell Campus today, Carousell Group CEO and Co-founder, Mr Quek Siu Rui expressed his enthusiasm for the journey ahead, sharing, “This space marks a coming-of-age for Carousell as a Group. Recommerce means bringing the best things that we know and like from e-commerce and availing it for secondhand products. We have been building up our recommerce business in recent years, and have grown to be the leading recommerce Group in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, with tens of millions of monthly active users and 80 million new listings annually. As we take the lead in advocating for recommerce and a circular economy in the region and beyond, we believe in contributing back to the local startup community and cementing Singapore as the region’s prominent startup hub.”

Driving the future of secondhand by advancing recommerce with trust and convenience capabilities

Carousell Campus also houses the Group’s first Capabilities Centre, which brings the Group’s brands and subsidiaries into one single location to streamline operations, integrate capabilities for authentication and inspection, as well as allow for more efficient collaboration. (Please refer to Annex A) The Group has been focused on building stronger recommerce foundations and setting new standards in trust and convenience for secondhand transactions in the region. For instance, Carousell Group launched the ‘Certified’ programme this year that uses shared expertise and technology from the various entities to authenticate and inspect secondhand items in the programme sold by Carousell Official Stores. Mobile phones are inspected using our proprietary AI-first diagnostic technology to remove human error in assessment. Luxury bags are authenticated by a team led by our Lead Authenticator, who was previously from fashion luxury houses, such as Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Chanel. Vehicle inspections are carried out by veteran automotive inspection and repair companies. (Please refer to Annex B for the full list of recommerce programmes across Carousell Group.)

To make peer-to-peer marketplace transactions even safer, the Group has also rolled out enhancements to the secure on-platform payment features in its Singapore and Vietnam marketplaces, with plans to continue in more markets starting with Malaysia by end of September. For instance, when Carousell users make transactions using the ‘Buy’ button, they are able to pay securely via a one-click checkout on the platform, and also enjoy additional Buyer Protection policies and integrated door-to-door (D2D) delivery options. This is on top of continuous platform enhancements across a multi-layered strategy to increase trust and safety across the Group’s platforms. To increase convenience for everyday Singaporeans selling items they have decluttered, Carousell Singapore will be the first C2C marketplace in Singapore to offer a paperless D2D shipping option to casual sellers. By the end of September, users will only need to write down their tracking number on the parcel, have access to competitive paperless D2D shipping rates, and also skip the hassle of printing out the shipping label for the courier.

“Centralising our Singapore-based entities at Carousell Campus has allowed us to strengthen our operations excellence. Our strategic focus on key growth product categories has streamlined our efforts to offer more compelling user value propositions and facilitate more collaboration opportunities to innovate on ways to increase circular economy adoption. This has allowed us to roll out a variety of recommerce programmes and features across multiple platforms and markets this year, providing an e-commerce-like experience. We will continue to invest in growth and technology across our platforms to make buying and selling secondhand items as trusted and convenient as buying brand new items,” said Mr Quek.

Nurturing the talent behind the Group’s recommerce success

Carousell Campus strengthens the Group’s commitment towards innovation and building a diverse, skilled team by serving as a central nexus for its eight regional offices to converge for strategic planning. A key component of developing the talent into a world-class team is focusing on regional collaborative sharing of best practices and capabilities as a Group. CEOs and senior executives from the various Group entities take on additional roles to mentor cross-entity business teams and provide strategic direction, or guide the development of operations capabilities collaboratively with the different entities.

Tech leaders across the Group also work together on Group-wide tech initiatives and knowledge sharing to better utilise existing technologies and drive innovation. This has allowed the Group to adopt generative AI technologies in a quicker manner to power platform features at scale. For instance, Carousell has recently started using a Large Language Model (LLM) to extract product details for search relevancy, so buyers can better find what they want and thereby increasing listing views and chats for sellers.

Contributing towards the next generation of tech startups

More than just a return to Carousell’s roots at BLOCK71, the move to set up Carousell Campus at LaunchPad was a deliberate choice to signal the Group’s commitment to being an integral part of this ecosystem in paving the way for the next generation of tech trailblazers. Recognising the challenges young startups face, Carousell Group offers a helping hand by offering access to world-class speakers from tech giants, facilitating connections and networking opportunities with startup founders, and providing a space to organise their own customer discovery events to find the right product-market fit. Hence, Carousell Campus was intentionally designed to host events to facilitate such support, with space to house over 100 pax.

Since the return, the Group has organised a plethora of events, insightful sessions, and learning experiences at no cost, with plans in the pipeline for more collaborative events involving local startups and small businesses. Start-ups interested in using Carousell Campus’ venue space can reach out to Carousell Group at campus@carousell.com to discuss collaboration opportunities.Hashtag: #Carousell #start-up #recommerce #secondhand
