eXp World Holdings to Acquire Leading Personal Development Media Brand, SUCCESS Enterprises

SUCCESS Acquisition Expands Reach Into Entrepreneurial, Personal Development and Leadership Market

BELLINGHAM, Wash., Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — eXp World Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPI), the parent company of eXp Realty and Virbela, today announced the pending acquisition of SUCCESS Enterprises and its related media properties, including SUCCESS print magazine, SUCCESS.com, SUCCESS newsletters, podcasts, digital training courses and affiliated social media accounts across platforms.

SUCCESS is a 123-year-old company with substantial brand recognition in the personal development industry, a global market valued at $38 billion in 2019, according to Grand View Research. Through the acquisition, eXp World Holdings will obtain SUCCESS’s established print distribution model and digital footprint, which has a combined reach of over 6 million including print readers, SUCCESS.com website visitors and social media followers. The acquisition also includes valuable intellectual property and assets in the personal development industry, which eXp will leverage to enhance all of the eXp brands while expanding SUCCESS’s reach.

The addition of SUCCESS will amplify eXp’s existing efforts to teach personal development skills. Through SUCCESS’s established print and digital platforms and eXp’s immersive 3D Virbela technology, eXp plans to create an ecosystem to support content, coaching, training and events in the entrepreneurial, personal development and leadership space. One of the first initiatives is to create on-demand coaching and best-in-class digital courses for business leaders across the country.

“From inception, eXp has valued personal development as a key underpinning of the success of real estate professionals. We began distributing SUCCESS magazine to every eXp agent and broker as a part of this commitment to help them succeed at the highest level,” said eXp World Holdings CEO and Founder Glenn Sanford. “When the opportunity to acquire SUCCESS was presented to me by Stuart Johnson and Success Partners, I was all over it, because of what the publication means to me and to so many sales people and entrepreneurs. Our goal is to continue to invest and expand the SUCCESS brand. By extension, this will be an investment in our agents, brokers and eXp staff, as well as a value-add for the existing SUCCESS audience.”

SUCCESS and its assets were previously owned by Success Partners, based in Plano, Texas.

“In considering the sale of an institution as meaningful and influential as SUCCESS, I wanted to entrust the brand with new ownership that would continue to serve the legacy SUCCESS audience,” said Success Partners CEO and Founder Stuart Johnson. “I know Glenn Sanford’s vision, values and integrity. During their upcoming stewardship, I am confident he and eXp will always put the community first.”

“The mission of eXp World Holdings and SUCCESS are naturally aligned,” said SUCCESS magazine’sEditor-in-Chief Josh Ellis. “More people than ever are seeking work in the freelance or gig economy, as well as all forms of ‘solopreneurship’. To compete in this growing marketplace, many will pursue the personal development resources required to help them learn new skills. Our first offering together will combine our expertise and perspective with eXp’s immersive technology platform Virbela to help these people reach their greatest potential.”

Throughout the transition of ownership, SUCCESS will remain led by a talented team of journalists and strategists including Chief Storytelling Officer Kindra Hall, Director of Digital & Commerce Lauren Cannon and Ellis. SUCCESS also welcomes Don Hobbs who is joining the team as President of SUCCESS Enterprises and will lead strategy and brand expansion.

“I am honored to contribute to SUCCESS’s 123-year legacy and to bring my strategy and brand development expertise to the team,” said Hobbs. “SUCCESS’s long-standing history paired with eXp’s forward-thinking vision creates a timelessness that elevates both brands and promotes continued growth.”

The acquisition is currently in the early stages and is expected to be completed by first quarter 2021. For more information about eXp World Holdings and their subsidiaries go to www.expworldholdings.com.

PR Newswire

MIAMI, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Norwegian Cruise Line today announced a new docuseries, “EMBARK – The Series,” inviting the public to experience the Brand and enjoy a front row seat to its highly-anticipated comeback.

Experience the interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/8667851-norwegian-cruise-line-launches-embark-the-series/

The docuseries kicks off with an “EMBARK NCL Spotlight Series,” two episodes showcasing the iconic Broadway and West End caliber entertainment found across the Norwegian fleet. The first episode invites viewers into London’s historic West End Garrick Theatre for a special reunion that brings “The Choir of Man” cast together for the first time in many months. The episode will include performances of guest favorites as well as an inside look at how the cast is managing through this historic time.

Highly praised for its high energy, live music and foot stomping choreography, “The Choir of Man” is an immersive pub experience featuring ordinary guys who perform everything from sing-along classics to classic rock. Traditionally set in a neighborhood pub, the show highlights the importance of community and human connection through a series of songs, poetry and intimate conversations.

“Entertainment unites us, allowing us to forget our worries, even if just for a short while,” said Richard Ambrose, senior vice president of entertainment and cruise programming at Norwegian Cruise Line. “We have long been advocates for the entertainment community and are committed to providing high-caliber performances for our guests. While theaters are closed and gatherings are limited, we want to support our fellow performers while connecting with guests in a meaningful way. In the end, we are in this together.”

Produced and directed by Nic Doodson, one of the creative minds behind “The Choir of Man,” the nearly 40-minute episode will first stream live at www.ncl.com/embark on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020, at 9 p.m. EST, before being made available on-demand.

“‘The Choir of Man’ family and I were thrilled when NCL asked us to come together to create an exclusive performance that guests could enjoy from home until they have the chance to cruise again,” said Doodson. “The world of theater has had a particularly hard year, so this opportunity to sing, dance and perform together again was an incredible feeling. I hope that the positive and uplifting energy comes across and inspires those tuning in to continue to look ahead to brighter days. The cast appreciated this opportunity to reconnect and now more than ever are looking forward to entertaining guests again soon in our pub on land, at sea or wherever people enjoy gathering with those closest to them.”

Emerging Markets Report: Meeting the Moment

An Emerging Markets News Commentary

ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — November 2020 will be recorded as a remarkable American history moment — amid the Pandemic and a historical U.S. presidential election, however, there were some news items that were perhaps under-seen, underappreciated even.

Peter Thiel has invested in Compass, a psilocybin sector company. The Silicon Valley billionaire Thiel is a co-founder of PayPal, Facebook’s first major investor, and Chairman of Palantir Technologies. Looking at Thiel’s track record along with Palantir Technologies he may be onto something by investing in the psilocybin sector. That said, we must understand this is a highly speculative sector.

For investors of Silo Pharma, Inc. (OTCQB: SILO), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the use of psilocybin as a therapeutic, and general supporters of the psilocybin and ‘magic mushroom’ market, the passage of a ballot measure in Oregon last week to allow licensed providers to administer the hallucinogenic substance found in magic mushrooms is a significant development. As some may recall, Oregon was the first state to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of cannabis, and among the first to authorize its use for medical purposes.

Pioneering Oregon then proved a safe and regulated commercial market for cannabis and state after state continues to follow. It is worth noting that Washington D.C. passed a similar measure for mushroom based psychedelics.

And what is also of interest is that as these seminal legislative changes occur, Silo Pharma seeks to develop its own standing in the markets, having recently announced its transition from the OTC Pink Market to the OTCQB® Venture Market.

It’s a significant move through the transparency required of OTCQB companies, being quoted on a more senior quotation medium, and introducing the Company to a possible greater pool of retail investors and institutions.

Legalized psilocybin is in its infancy, and Silo Pharma appears to be in a nascent phase of its business plan despite a partnership with a major university already in place.

As these new markets open up in Oregon and D.C., Silo is preparing to meet the moment.

About Silo
Pharma

Silo Pharma is a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research for people suffering from indications such as depression, PTSD, Parkinson’s, and other rare neurological disorders. Silo’s mission is to identify assets to license and fund the research, which we believe will be transformative to the well-being of patients and the health care industry.

To Help Close Digital Divide for Nearly 17 Million Students, AT&T Offers Discounted Wireless Data Plans with Free Wi-Fi Hotspots and Makes $10 Million Commitment to Help Underserved Communities

Classrooms that take advantage of the offer receive free unlimited wireless service(1) for teachers(2); the new $10 million commitment helps students participate in connected learning by providing free devices and service

PR Newswire

DALLAS, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —

What’s the news? The COVID-19 pandemic has forced more than 50 million U.S. students to learn from home. Yet nearly 17 million children are unable to take part because their families don’t have an internet connection or device to support digital learning.

To help close the gap and enable connected learning, AT&T is offering discounted unlimited wireless data plans¹ and content filtering services to more than 135,000 public and private K-12 schools, colleges and universities across the country for a limited time. Offer details include:

Schools can migrate existing AT&T lines or activate new lines for students on a qualified unlimited wireless data plan and content filtering service for $15 a month, with the additional option of an AT&T Moxee hot spot at no cost after bill credits.³

For every 24 qualified student activations above, schools can activate 1 line with the same services for a teacher at no cost after bill credits to help them do what they do every day as classroom superheroes.

The offer is good through December 29, 2020 – schools that add at least one eligible line as part of this offer can also activate additional lines at the same price through December 29, 2022, at which point the promotional pricing ends.

In addition to the discounted plans for schools to connect their students, AT&T is making a $10 million commitment to support at-risk students disconnected from learning with internet connectivity and Wi-Fi hotspots. We will also expand availability of tech-enabled tools and learning resources for students, teachers, schools, and parents working across company resources, including WarnerMedia, for ongoing support for this initiative.

While the homework gap is not new, the pandemic and the critical need for remote learning has made it worse. This nationwide problem disproportionately impacts 1 in 3 students of color, as well as students with disabilities and students in rural and under-resourced neighborhoods. Additionally, 300,000 to 400,000 K-12 teachers live in households without adequate internet connectivity or home computing devices – roughly 10 percent of all public school teachers.⁴

What is AT&T doing for teachers beyond school-funded service? Teachers can still take advantage of our appreciation offer announced in July for exclusive savings on personal wireless service. This offer applies to both new and existing customers that are Kindergarten through post-secondary teachers, professors, instructors, and their families with a 25% savings on AT&T Unlimited Starter, Extra and Elite consumer wireless plans.⁵

How will AT&T’s $10 million commitment support education? Today, we’re committing $10 million to support our nation’s most vulnerable students, who don’t have adequate internet access and are disconnected from learning. There are an estimated 17 million public K-12 students falling into the homework gap due to COVID-19 school closures.

Together with Connected Nation, a leading non-profit helping communities solve their broadband and digital technology challenges, we’ll work to close the homework gap for struggling students by providing WiFi hotspots and free AT&T internet service. School districts and non-profits across the U.S. will be invited to apply for support in the coming weeks.

This commitment comes alongside a collaboration with a global HR services and solutions firm Randstad to refurbish and donate laptops and other devices to keep students connected.

AT&T has a long history of supporting communities where we live and work. This new commitment builds on the $10 millionDistance Learning and Family Connections fund we launched at the start of this pandemic. We’ve committed $600 million since 2008 to advance education and create opportunity, particularly in historically underserved populations.

What about safety protocols for school-provided student access? We understand that schools need affordable options including services to support their online safety protocols like those in the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). That’s why we’ve included content filtering options, which will help schools deliver safer on-ramps for K-12 and higher education users/devices connecting to the Internet. For schools looking to add device management, an additional option is also available at a discounted rate.³

What else is AT&T doing about the connectivity challenges in America? We continue to expand our connectivity efforts while working with stakeholders to develop policies that will help sustain and expand reliable broadband connectivity for all Americans.

What are people saying?
QUOTE: “There are many challenges to providing high-quality education to children nationwide. Inequities and other impediments can mean millions of kids don’t get a fair shot at succeeding in school. We are helping to bring innovative solutions to remove the barriers to learning. That’s critically important to the future success of students,” Anne Chow, CEO, AT&T Business.

QUOTE: “Millions of kids are struggling with their schoolwork because they don’t have internet access at home. Without access, assignments are a daily challenge, and this disproportionately affects children of color and those living in rural areas. This is one of our greatest challenges as a country and it’s going to take the collective power of businesses, industry, public policy and non-profits to make a difference,” said Tom Ferree,Chairman & CEO of Connected Nation.

QUOTE: “Many students are locked out of the classroom because they don’t have reliable internet access and connected devices. Closing this widening gap is the most important issue of digital equity that we face as a nation,” said Christine Fox, Interim Executive Director, State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA). “SETDA has been a strong advocate for ensuring equitable digital learning opportunities for all students since its inception. We commend AT&T for its commitment to addressing the homework gap and their partnership in pushing for critical change so that all students can succeed.”

QUOTE: “We are excited to support our students here in Atlanta with the rollout of this new offer from AT&T,” said Olufemi Aina, Executive Director, IT, Atlanta Public Schools. “As a strong advocate for digital inclusion, we also applaud the commitment to closing the Homework Gap and ensuring students have the tools they need for success.”

QUOTE: “Covid-19 has shown us that at-home internet connectivity is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a must-have. Without it, many students face an uphill battle in their education,” said Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy. “I am heartened by AT&T’s commitment to provide connectivity to these students and their families, which will help bridge the gap and give countless young people the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond.”

¹ After 50GB of data use on a line, AT&T may temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy.
² Based on the average class size of 1 teacher to 24 students, schools will get one free (after bill credits) qualified line for a teacher for every 24 lines for students that are migrated to or activated on the qualified services. Taxes and fees are extra.
³Req’s new line on Special DataConnect for Education plan ($14/mo. after credits) w/ Enterprise Traffic Protector service ($1/mo.) or AccessMyLAN ($6/mo. after credits) and elig. data-only device.

Immunovia Reports Third Quarter Interim Report January – September 2020

PR Newswire

LUND, Sweden, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Immunovia has today published third quarter interim report for January – September 2020. It is available on Immunovia’s website.

“The most important event during Q3 was that we announced positive results from the IMMray™ PanCan-d verification study. The analysis from the verification study showed results in line with the previous commercial test model study (CTMS) and was the beginning of the last stage towards CLIA-CAP accreditation in the USA, the final blind validation study.

Q3 started with a virtual presentation by Immunovia’s Thomas King, MD, Ph.D. and Laura Chirica, Ph.D., at the annual meeting of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP) at the European Pancreatic Club (EPC) on July 2, 2020, one of the most important events in the world in the field of pancreatic cancer.

In July, we launched the “Immunovia Walk Around the World to Raise Awareness for Pancreatic Cancer”, an initiative to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer.

In early September, the second webinar in the IMMray™ PanCan-d series was hosted with Linda Mellby, Ph.D., Thomas King, MD, Ph.D. and Laura Chirica, Ph.D., who gave a more detailed presentation of the results of the Commercial Test Model Study (CTMS).

We announced the appointment of Patrik Dahlen as our new CEO starting on November 1, 2020, and that Mats Grahn will continue as a board member.

I am pleased to hand over the baton to Patrik Dahlen, who I have known for a long time and who is one of the most experienced leaders in the international diagnostics industry. Patrik is not only a highly respected business leader with wide-ranging international experience and knowledge of the international diagnostics industry, but he also knows Immunovia well, from the ground up, as he was one of our board members during the initial years,” commented, Mats Grahn, outgoing CEO and current board member of Immunovia AB.

“I am honored to join Immunovia during this pivotal and exciting time in the company’s history. I believe that Immunovia is in a position to evolve into a dominating market leader for the blood-based diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and I look forward to the exciting times to come in the company’s development.

I would like to emphasize that Immunovia continues to have the goal of a long-term market penetration of 30% after reimbursement and widespread coverage has been achieved. The current size of the addressable market for IMMray™ PanCan-d is estimated to exceed USD 4 billion in the EU and the USA, across the three risk groups the company targets: hereditary/familial, differential diagnosis of early symptoms and newly diagnosed diabetes in individuals over 50. We look forward to continuing to work with healthcare operators around the world.

On behalf of the Board and the entire Immunovia team, I thank you for your continued support of Immunovia’s efforts to contribute to having a positive impact on the lives of those at risk from pancreatic cancer, “Patrik Dahlen, CEO, Immunovia.

New Financial Health Network Report Finds Many Employers Taking Action to Improve Employee Financial Health Benefits Following the COVID-19 Pandemic

Employers who have seen evidence of employee hardship as a result of COVID-19 most likely to say they will spend more on financial health benefits

Chicago, IL, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Financial Health Network, the nation’s authority on financial health, today released the “Know Better, Do Better: Building an Effective Financial Health Benefits Strategy” report in partnership with Morgan Stanley at Work, showing that close to 90% (86%) say they are aware of their employees’ financial health challenges, with 85% of companies planning to maintain or increase their investment in financial health benefits as a result of COVID-19.

The findings also revealed an increase in demand for 401(k) loans or hardship withdrawals, and/or a rise in demand for pay advances. Forty percent of employers who have seen such evidence of employee hardship due to COVID-19 say they will spend more on financial health benefits in the next two years compared to only 16% who have not seen an uptick in demand.

“Employers’ interest in financial wellness has been growing for several years, and COVID-19 became a watershed moment,” said Matt Bahl, VP and head of workplace at Financial Health Network. “The pandemic highlighted employee day-to-day challenges like keeping up with bills and paying off debt, and this visibility is translating into a greater commitment to support the short-term and long-term needs of employees by designing benefits that support their financial health.”

In the midst of the pandemic, employers are taking action to address the financial health challenges of their workforce with most (82%) saying that they have incorporated financial health into their human resource department’s strategic plans, signaling C-level attention.

The report also highlights the gap between employee needs and the existing benefits solutions in part due to limited metrics being used by employers today. Employers, though motivated by employee engagement and demand, rely on a limited set of metrics to understand the needs of their employees. Other report findings include:

60% of employers report that employee demand is a top factor when making investment decisions about financial health benefits, even more than budgetary concerns (49%).

Employer awareness of employee financial health challenges is largely based on limited metrics, contributing to a gap between employee needs and solutions. The most common ways of assessing employee financial health are through 401(k) metrics (75%) and health-related insurance claims (69%), which offer only a limited view into an employee’s financial needs.

The most common types of benefits offered do not address many of the financial health challenges that employees face. For example, fewer than 25% of employers say they offer benefits like childcare or eldercare assistance, emergency savings support, or debt-related benefits, which provide critical support to employees especially during turbulent times.

“Now more than ever, it is critical for employers to offer financial wellness and health benefits that are strategically aligned with their employees’ financial needs,” said Krystal Barker Buissereth, CFA, Head of Financial Wellness, Morgan Stanley at Work. “The current environment has accelerated the need for employers to offer holistic wellness benefits and programs to help reduce stress and improve their employees’ financial health and well-being.”

The survey was conducted by the Financial Health Network in July 2020, and polled 770 HR executives from mid-sized and large companies across eight industries to understand how aware employers are of their employees’ financial health struggles, the actions companies have taken to incorporate financial health into their human capital strategies, and how businesses are making financial health benefits decisions during the current crisis and beyond. Data and insights in this report were developed with strategic contributions and support from Morgan Stanley.
