Hong Kong Life Launches “Family Guardian Refundable Hospital Income Protection Plan” with Market-first Family Daily Hospital Income Benefit Providing 100% Premium Refund and additional No Claim Bonus upon Maturity

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 21 December 2022 – Unpredictable accidents and illnesses may incur high medical expenses and loss of income during hospitalization. Hong Kong Life Insurance Limited (“Hong Kong Life”) launches the Family Guardian Refundable Hospital Income Protection Plan (“The Plan”) with Daily Hospital Income and Intensive Care Benefit to alleviate the financial burden of the customers in case of hospitalization. The Plan’s first-in-market# feature offers Family Daily Hospital Income Benefit, under which both the Life Insured and the Covered Family Member can enjoy the protection of hospitalization in a single policy. Customers are entitled to a premium refund equivalent to 100% of the Total Premiums Paid upon maturity.

Mr. Jonathan Ko, the Chief Marketing Officer of Hong Kong Life, said, “We understand that most customers are willing to strengthen their life and healthcare protection for both individual and family after the pandemic. Compared with most of the hospital income insurance plans in the market which mainly provide personal protection, Family Guardian Refundable Hospital Income Protection Plan is specially designed with family protection feature. The first-in-market# Family Daily Hospital Income Benefit showcases the customer-centric philosophy of Hong Kong Life. Customer and his designated family member are covered with daily hospital income protection by one premium budget, providing peace-of-mind for unexpected hospitalization expenses in case of emergencies.”

ROSEN, LEADING INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Bird Global, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action Commenced by the Firm – BRDS

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – December 20, 2022 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Bird Global, Inc. (NYSE: BRDS) between May 14, 2021 and November 14, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 17, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action commenced by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Bird 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 Bird class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9805 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 January 17, 2023. 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. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. 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, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Bird was improperly recording Sharing Revenue for certain trips by its customers where collection was not probable; (2) as such, Bird overstated its Sharing Revenue for the relevant quarters and fiscal year during the Class Period; (3) Bird failed to disclose that its internal controls were not effective as they relate to calculating Sharing Revenue recognition; (4) as a result, Bird would need to restate its previously disclosed Sharing Revenue; 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 Bird class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9805 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.
