NATIONALLY RANKED ROSEN LAW FIRM Encourages B. Riley Financial, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – RILY

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – March 9, 2024 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: RILY) between May 10, 2023 and November 9, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important March 25, 2024 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased B. Riley 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 B. Riley class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=22036 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@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 March 25, 2024. 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, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Brian Kahn, Chief Executive Officer of Franchise Group, Inc. (“FRG”), had been credibly implicated in a conspiracy to defraud investors of millions of dollars; (2) in spite of this involvement, B. Riley continued to finance the transaction enabling Brian Kahn and others to take FRG private through complex arrangements; (3) the foregoing was reasonably likely to draw regulatory scrutiny to B. Riley; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about B. Riley’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the B. Riley class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=22036 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@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.

He highlighted that society has now begun to embrace a diversity of choices when it comes to defining a fulfilling and fulfilled life. CLAP@JC aims to encourage all of us to celebrate the different forms of success.

Delivering today’s keynote address was Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills and Special Advisor on Education Policy to the Secretary-General at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Speaking on the theme “What is the future of education to support students navigating in the unknown future?” he shared results from the latest Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), highlighting findings related to the well-being and career development of Hong Kong students.

The Education Bureau recognises the effectiveness of the HKBM in helping schools meet global standards and plans to introduce the HKBM e-portal as a self-assessment tool in all secondary schools from the 2025 school year.

The Club’s support for CLAP@JC, like all of its charity donations, is made possible by its unique integrated business model through which racing and wagering generate employment, tax and charity support for the community.

VANDALIA, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 March 2024 – Johnson Electric, a global leader in electric motors, actuators, motion subsystems and related electro-mechanical components, will debut two warehouse automation technologies in a strategic partnership with Aegis Sortation, a leading manufacturer of sortation and conveyor solutions, at MODEX 2024 in Atlanta, March 11 to 14, in the Aegis Sortation booth (B8046).

At MODEX, Johnson Electric will launch TrueDrive™, a new approach to motorized drive roller (MDR) conveyors, capable of boosting throughput up to 250% compared to leading solutions. The company will also showcase VersaSort™, a compact steerable wheel module that allows divert functions to operate up to twice as fast in small- to medium-sized sortation systems.

TrueDrive re-imagines MDR technology from the ground up with exclusive Dynamic Zone Control™ (DZC). Instead of multi-roller zones connected by failure-prone belts, drive motors are cost-effectively integrated into individual rollers. This fresh approach enables rapid acceleration, tighter accumulation on the fly and greater energy efficiency. DZC systems also reduce maintenance and improve safety by eliminating O-rings and pneumatic infrastructure while enabling predictive maintenance capabilities.

VersaSort leverages small-motor technology in modules of four to eight rollers, each capable of rotating up to 180 degrees, which allows packages as small as 2.0″x 1.5″ to be sorted at speeds of up to 400 FPM. Individual angle control makes tighter spacing between items possible, resulting in higher throughput.

At MODEX, both technologies will be featured in a working zero-pressure accumulation and diverter table designed by Aegis Sortation.

“TrueDrive and VersaSort offer innovative new throughput and sortation capabilities that will change the way we think about warehouse automation,” said Stephen Pennington, Vice President, IPG Americas, for Johnson Electric. “We’re very excited about the partnership with Aegis Sortation and the opportunity to demonstrate both technologies as part of a fully functioning solution at MODEX.”

“These revolutionary innovations support the Aegis Sortation philosophy of ‘Driving Innovation, Transforming Business!’ They’re enabling us to build state-of-the-art modern capabilities into our products that will help the industry overcome many long-standing challenges,” said Tony Young, President and CEO, Aegis Sortation.

The strategic partnership between Johnson Electric and Aegis Sortation delivers innovation that provides higher throughput, improved uptime and greater flexibility. Johnson Electric designers and engineers will be available for on-site consultation at the Aegis Sortation booth throughout MODEX. In-person demonstrations of both technologies are available by appointment.

DHL Express’ GoGreen Plus helps over 12,000 Asia Pacific customers in sustainable logistics

  • ŸDedicated solution allows businesses to lower Scope 3 emissions, contribute to ESG targets
  • ŸMeets the needs of environmentally conscious shippers

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 March 2024 – In the span of one year, DHL Express, the world’s leading international express service provider, has registered more than 12,000 customers who have taken up the GoGreen Plus service in Asia Pacific (excluding China). This includes more than 2,800 companies who have signed a contractual agreement to use GoGreen Plus. The rest comprises customers who have opted GoGreen Plus as the shipping service through MyDHL+, the company’s online shipping and tracking platform.

DHL Express GoGreen Plus customers in Asia Pacific

Introduced in February 2023, GoGreen Plus allows customers to reduce (‘inset’) the carbon emissions associated with their international shipments using Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). Insetting through GoGreen Plus allows customers to reduce their Scope 3 emissions, the indirect greenhouse gas emissions that occur in a company’s value chain, including downstream transportation and distribution. The GoGreen Plus service is currently the only method available in the global express logistics industry that enables customers to utilize SAF to reduce emissions related to their shipments.

DHL Express GoGreen Plus Book and Claim

“We have a clear mission to achieve net-zero emissions for our logistics operations by 2050, and we want to enable our customers to join us in this journey. Although GoGreen Plus was only launched a year ago, we have observed very positive adoption rates, indicating the market was ripe for such an offering. There has been a rapid pickup rate among businesses as well as consumers,” said Ken Lee, CEO for Asia Pacific, DHL Express.

“This is aligned with a DHL survey, which found that more than one in three (38 percent) of online shippers in Asia Pacific are prepared to pay more for a greener delivery option. The high uptake of GoGreen Plus among individual shippers demonstrates a strong willingness to pay more to use SAF to decarbonize their shipments.”

SAF take-up among Asian companies on an upward trend

While companies have already committed to cutting down on their carbon footprint and running their operations sustainably, a report has shown that many companies in Asia Pacific still fall short in their Scope 3 emissions measurement effort. With GoGreen Plus, customers can tailor the amount of CO₂e they intend to reduce. This is achieved using the ‘book and claim’ approach, where DHL will pass on the environmental benefits to the customers on the GoGreen Plus service. As a result, customers can report their emissions following the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) philosophy.

Out of the over 2,800 companies that signed up for GoGreen Plus, over 2,000 companies have opted to reduce 30 percent carbon emissions for their time-definite international shipments through SAF. Furthermore, some have committed even high reductions, such as AFFIN Group from Malaysia, Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank from Vietnam, CHIMEI Corporation from Taiwan and SCREEN Semiconduction Solutions from Japan that have all committed to reducing their carbon emissions via SAF.

DHL Express has also observed interest in using SAF across all sectors, with the biggest uptake in Asia Pacific coming from these sectors: Consumer Retail & Fashion, Technology, Financial Institutions, and Engineering & Manufacturing.

“Among our customers, we are seeing a huge appetite for solutions that could reduce carbon emissions for their shipments. Our GoGreen Plus service is one such way, and we are pleased to see that it is positively received. In fact, our customers are not merely choosing a service; they are also championing a commitment to a greener and more responsible future,” said Yung C. Ooi, Senior Vice President for Commercial, Asia Pacific, DHL Express.

Consumers in Asia Pacific willing to invest in SAF

Climate change is a key personal concern for many individuals in Asia Pacific. A Deloitte study has shown that consumers in the region are willing to pay more for sustainable products, with 52 percent having changed their purchasing behaviors to contribute to climate protection. DHL Express’ GoGreen Plus solution allows individual shippers to easily do so by booking their shipment on the MyDHL+ platform and ticking the box marked GoGreen Plus.

Role of GoGreen Plus instrumental to achieving net-zero emissions

The GoGreen Plus service is made possible through strategic collaborations with bp and Neste to procure more than 800 million liters of SAF as well as agreement with World Energy to purchase approximately 668 million liters of SAF via sustainable aviation certificates.
