ROSEN, TRUSTED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Shift4 Payments, Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – FOUR

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – September 27, 2023 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Shift4 Payments, Inc. (NYSE: FOUR) between November 10, 2021 and April 18, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important October 19, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Shift4 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 Shift4 class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=18626 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 October 19, 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 litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Shift4 had inadequate disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting; (2) as a result, Shift4 failed to properly account for customer acquisition costs, thereby artificially inflating its net cash provided by operating activities; (3) accordingly, Shift4 would likely be forced to restate one or more of its previously issued financial statements; (4) Shift4 employed accounting maneuvers in connection with, among other things, its mass strategic buyout program and sponsor bank merchant settlement account, that were designed to present an inaccurate picture of, inter alia, the Company’s performance, its underlying business quality, and its earnings power; (5) all the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to negatively impact Shift4’s reputation and business; and (6) as a result, the Company’s 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 Shift4 class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=18626 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.

Silk Road Connects the World, Light and Shadow Shine for Ten Years. The 10th Silk Road International Film Festival Opens in Fuzhou.

FUZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach – 27 September 2023 – The opening ceremony of the 10th Silk Road International Film Festival was held in Fuzhou, Fujian Province on the evening of September 25.

The Silk Road connects the world, light and shadow shine for ten years. 2023 marks the tenth anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the Silk Road International Film Festival. The film festival will highlight the theme of the “10th anniversary,” being committed to “Sharing Silk Road Stories in Collaboration with Partners from across the Globe,” telling the stories of the BRI and integration of civilizations with lens and images, and striving to create a grand event for global film and cultural exchange.

During the festival, nine main activities will be held, including the Golden Silk Road Awards, the “Decade of Silk Road, Blessed Movie” film achievement exhibition, a BRI national film exhibition, a film panorama, a film forum, and film market, and more. Among them, the BRI national film exhibition has invited countries and regions involved in the BRI to participate and build an international exchange platform that will effectively promote cultural exchanges and industrial cooperation in the film and television industry. The “Blessed Movie Echoed on Silk Road in Fujian and Shaanxi” activity vividly showcases the cultural achievements on brilliant Silk Road civilizations and films in Fuzhou and Xi’an.

Compared with previous film festivals, this year’s film festival has four highlights:

First, this festival highlights the theme of the “10th anniversary.” It will hold a series of activities centered around the theme, including the “Decade of Silk Road, Blessed Movie” exhibition, the “Blessed Movie Echoed on Silk Road in Fujian and Shaanxi” activity. With films as a bond, it systematically summarizes its glorious journey over the past decade to promote cultural cooperation, and development and inheritance of the Silk Road civilization, and vividly showcases the cultural achievements on brilliant Silk Road civilizations and films in Fuzhou and Xi’an.

Second, this festival focuses on the establishment of an international exchange platform. More than 140 foreign guests from 40 countries and 10 international sister cities (based on the actual situation on site) attended the festival. The Golden Silk Road Awards have received about 500 submissions from 84 countries and regions, among which 140 films will be selected for re-evaluation by the jury and shortlisted for ten Golden Silk Road Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Documentary Film. Besides, a BRI national film exhibition will be held, inviting countries and regions involved in the BRI to participate and promote cultural exchanges and industrial cooperation in the film and television industry.

Third, the festival strives to create a film feast for the people. It will adhere to the principle of putting people at the center, and closely align with the needs of the masses in event planning, film screenings, and other aspects, making every effort to create a feast of films and a festival for the people. With Fuzhou Strait Olympic Sports Center and Minyue River Town as main venues, and historical and cultural blocks such as the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys and Liangcuo as supporting venues, the city-wide film carnival consists of a series of dream-building themed cultural activities for the people, including a film culture fair, a film costume and prop exhibition, immersive performances, and a light and shadow show, creating a strong atmosphere of full participation and shared enjoyment for all.

Fourth, the festival will boost development driven by industrialization. It will help gather momentum and promote industrial development. By pooling superior resources at home and abroad, it will carefully organize the main forum on film exchange and cooperation among countries and regions along the Belt and Road, and two sub-forums on film investment and financing, and the integrated development of films and tourism along the Belt and Road. It will also hold six themed activities, including a project launch and investment conference, an international film screening, the Belt and Road film and tourism industry alliance, a youth film festival, the “Film and City,” and a themed night market. The festival will spare no effort in building a professional platform for film transactions, a main base for cultural exchanges, and an incubator for industrial projects, and cultivating a more promising market for the development of the film and television industry.

The 10th Silk Road International Film Festival will conclude on September 27 and the results of the Golden Silk Road Awards will be announced at that time.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Lam Sai Hung, Secretary for Transport and Logistics, HKSAR Government; with the presence of Jeffrey Shen, Co-founder and Co-CEO, ESR Group; Chang Rui Hua, Managing Director, Business Management and Investment, ESR Hong Kong; and Allan Wang, Group Treasury Senior Director, ESR Group; as well as senior management from Chinachem Group including Donald Choi, Executive Director and CEO; Ricky Tsang, Executive Director and CFO; Damien Wu, Managing Director, Corporate Development.

Slated for completion in 2027 (with a new 50-year lease expiring in 2072), Kwai Chung Cold Storage Logistics Centre (“Cold Storage”) will play a major role in pioneering the future of logistics in Hong Kong and consolidating the city’s leadership as a regional logistics hub. Chinachem and ESR are bringing their combined expertise in project management and development, to ensure a building of the highest quality is built. Further, ESR contributes its extensive experience in sustainable development such that Kwai Chung Cold Storage Logistics Centre will have the highest green building standards. To promote green transport, Chinachem Group, ESR and CLPe will explore EV Charging as a Service to cater for future demand of electric commercial vehicles. In addition, tenants in the new facility will be able to maximise the use of space rented, including the ability to expand to three levels of racking space. ESR, which will be the asset manager of the Kwai Chung Cold Storage Logistics Centre, has signed a letter of intent with one of Hong Kong’s largest 3PL firm and discussions with other potential tenants are underway.

Lam Sai Hung, Secretary for Transport and Logistics, said: “The Government attaches great importance to the development of the logistics industry and has spared no effort in providing a favourable business environment for the trade. One of the Government’s policy directions is to promote a more efficient use of logistics land to support the upgrading and transformation of the logistics sector towards the direction of green and smart solutions, particularly in handling high-value and cold chain products. The development of new multi-storey modern logistics facilities by the industry could definitely complement the Government’s effort in driving this policy direction.”

Jeffrey Shen and Stuart Gibson, ESR Group Co-founders and Co-CEOs, said: “We are proud to bring ESR’s leading expertise in investment, development and asset management for modern logistics facilities as well as the highest standards of sustainable development to Hong Kong. Together with our partner Chinachem Group, we are confident this new development will fulfil the growing demand for large-scale, cutting-edge logistics space while enabling Hong Kong to reinforce its position as a leading logistics hub to the world. In addition to the property’s state-of-the-art facilities, its strategic location also helps to unleash the full potential value of the Kwai Chung vicinity and sustain the long-term development of the area by promoting job opportunities and economic growth.”

Chang Rui Hua, Managing Director, Business Management and Investment, ESR Hong Kong, said: “ESR’s Kwai Chung facility will set a new benchmark in the industry not only with its scale and cutting-edge features such as automation but also a range of green features for tenants so they may provide more sustainable supply chains solutions.”

Speaking at the Groundbreaking Ceremony, Donald Choi, Executive Director and CEO of Chinachem Group, said, “We are thrilled to partner with ESR for the Kwai Chung Cold Storage Logistics Centre, marking our first significant investment in the logistics sector. Our goal is to enhance Hong Kong’s regional status as a logistics hub and accelerate its economic integration in the Greater Bay Area for its continuing prosperity. Through the adoption of precast building elements and multi-trade integrated mechanical, electrical and plumbing modules (MiMEP), we are actively reducing carbon emissions, demonstrating our commitment to protecting the environment. This collaboration advances our shared ESG priorities, pioneering the sustainable evolution of Hong Kong’s logistics sector while aligning with Chinachem Group’s commitment to the balance of People, Prosperity, and Planet. Together with ESR, our ambition is to shape the future of Hong Kong’s logistics sector by creating a legacy of sustainable development and prosperity.” The cold storage marks another milestone in Chinachem’s business diversification strategy.

Upon its completion, Kwai Chung Cold Storage Logistics Centre will embody industry best practices in its digital and automation technologies, operational flexibility, energy management and modern design to enable tenants to achieve greater efficiency and lower environmental impact.

Sustainable and Green Features

The Cold Storage will be built according to the most stringent green building standards, with the objective of attaining LEED Core and Shell Platinum and BEAM Plus New Building Platinum certifications. Cutting-edge green and sustainable building features have been embedded in the building design, including a rainwater harvesting irrigation system, 300+ electric vehicle (EV) charging points, photovoltaic (PV) panels, and other renewable energy solutions. Additionally, 30% of the site area is designated for greenery.

Modern Logistics Features

To maximise the allowable Gross Floor Area of 138,000 square metres, the Cold Storage will be a seven-storey facility with two basement levels for carparks. Approval has been secured to add eight metres of height to the building, providing high headroom clearance for tenants. The facility also provides ramp access to all levels and automated logistics features, including dock levelers, dock shelters, and sectional doors. Other automated facilities may be further implemented by future tenants.

Strategic Site Location

Strategically located at the junction of Mei Ching Road and Container Port Road South in Kwai Chung, with direct connection from Tsing Ma Bridge and Stonecutters Bridge, the facility has easy access within an hour to established road networks to Hong Kong’s Central Business District, International Airport and the border to Mainland China.

Both ESR and Chinachem are confident in the promising prospects of logistics assets and believe the high impact infrastructure project will make vital contributions to Hong Kong’s economic growth. As accessibility between cities in the Greater Bay Area improves, Hong Kong’s market will open to some 85 million people, together with accelerating e-commerce growth, especially the increasing demand for food items and pharmaceuticals, will further stimulate the market need for modern logistics space.
