(NASDAQ: AVAV) between June 29, 2021 and December 7, 2021, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important October 30, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased AeroVironment 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 AeroVironment class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=18820 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 30, 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, the defendants made false and/or materially misleading statements by creating the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the Company’s projected growth and record backlog and also minimized any risk from COVID-19 (coronavirus), specifically explaining they were monitoring supply chain issues and affirmed their record backlog would provide a basis for strong growth. However, according to the lawsuit, AeroVironment had been experiencing a decline in sales in all of their core businesses. According to the lawsuit, defendants misled investors by providing the public with materially flawed revenue guidance for fiscal 2022. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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.

Next, Terry Chan from the Invest Hong Kong of the Hong Kong SAR Government offered his blessings. He emphasized that Hong Kong’s free, open, and well-regulated business environment provides an excellent foundation for developing the digital economy. He congratulated Conflux on the opening of the new office and expressed his hope that Conflux, leveraging Hong Kong’s unique advantage of being “backed by the motherland and connected to the world,” will expand its digital business, support the development of the Greater Bay Area, and align itself with the global community.
Peter Yan, CEO of Hong Kong Cyberport Management Co., Ltd., also offered his congratulations. Peter stated that Cyberport has evolved into an innovation community centered around the digital industry, bringing together over 1,900 technology and creative enterprises. Cyberport is actively working to establish itself as a global digital technology hub, contributing to the economic momentum in Hong Kong.

Afterwards, Dr. Wu Ming, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Conflux, delivered a speech.

At the opening ceremony, Dr. Wu Ming also introduced to the guests the Blockchain SIM card (“BSIM card”), jointly developed by Conflux and China Telecom.

He mentioned that in the near future, Conflux will initiate pilot testing for the BSIM card in Hong Kong.
With the development of the global digital economy, embracing digital transformation becomes a proactive and strategic choice. The BSIM Card solves the identity authentication problem, bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds. The next focus of digitizing the economy lies in the deep integration of digital and real-world assets. In his speech, Dr. Wu Ming mentioned that the Hong Kong office will continue to actively engage in digital economy compliance business. Serving as the foundational infrastructure for the digital economy, it will support Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area in vigorously developing a blockchain-based cross-border trade settlement system using the Hong Kong dollar. This initiative, coupled with the “Belt and Road” strategy, aims to construct a digital payment ecosystem, unleashing the potential and innovative value of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.

Leveraging its performance and integration advantages, Conflux will engage in strategic collaborations with its ecosystem partners in areas such as technological innovation and talent exchange. With the support of the Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong serves as Conflux’s gateway to digital innovation, embracing policies that explore the innovative potential and future prospects of digital economy and Web 3.0.

This novel approach integrates several innovative technologies, including a high-bandwidth transaction forwarding protocol, dynamic bandwidth allocation, transaction latency execution, and incremental MPT data structure. These innovations significantly enhance the overall performance of the blockchain system, covering aspects such as networking, consensus, storage, and execution.
Conflux now boasts 3000+ transactions per second (TPS), 5000+ nodes, 0.5-second block time, and 23-second confirmation time. The mainnet has been running stably for nearly three years, with over 24.7 million on-chain accounts, 127 million transactions, and nearly 18,000 deployed smart contracts.

Conflux is notably the only Chinese-led blockchain project mentioned in the technical whitepaper of Diem (formerly known as Libra), Facebook’s consortium chain project. With its globally leading performance, Conflux has shattered the monopoly of Western countries in the blockchain underlying technology field.
About BSIM Card
The Blockchain SIM card (“BSIM card”), jointly developed by Conflux and China Telecom, leverages the hardware security advantages of SIM cards, to protect users’ private keys, presenting a seamless and secure solution for Web 3.0 users. The BSIM Card is nearly identical to traditional SIM cards in appearance but offers 10-20 times more storage space and significantly enhanced computational capabilities. It can generate and store user public-private key pairs within the card and perform digital signatures without revealing the private key, thereby reducing the risk of malicious software attacks such as mobile Trojan Horses and other viruses. Its advantages include:
- Portability: Integrated into the user’s phone SIM card, eliminating the need for additional devices.
- High Security: Features a Secure Element (SE) chip with a security level equivalent to bank card chips.
- High Performance: Utilizes ECC hardware co-processors for fast signature generation.
- Universal Compatibility: Adopts a Bluetooth 4.0 interface, compatible with Android and iPhone smartphones.
- User-Friendly: User interface aligns with common mobile apps, reducing the learning curve.
- Easy Promotion: Can be bundled with carrier marketing systems, facilitating promotion and subsequent value-added services.
From a regulatory perspective in digital economic governance, using the BSIM Card as the entry point for user-managed blockchain accounts and Web 3.0 network access indirectly achieves blockchain/Web 3.0 account real-name registration through mobile phone number verification. This approach reduces KYC costs, minimizes user privacy exposure, and provides better conditions for the widespread adoption of Web 3.0 applications.
Applications of BSIM Cards include digital asset management, digital identity, “three-proof” phones (anti-fraud, anti-harassment, anti-loss), and IoT terminals.
