LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the upcoming December 22, 2020 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Innate Pharma SA (“Innate” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: IPHA) securities between March 10, 2020 and September 8, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

If you suffered a loss on your Innate investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/innate-pharma-sa/.

On October 23, 2018, Innate and AstraZeneca plc (“AstraZeneca”) announced an expansion of a pre-existing collaboration agreement, whereby AstraZeneca acquired 9.8% equity stake in Innate and obtained full oncology rights to monalizumab, a first-in-class humanized anti-NKG2A antibody.  As part of this agreement, Innate would receive $100 million in milestone payments at the start of the first Phase 3 clinical trial for monalizumab. 

On September 8, 2020, Innate announced that it had amended its collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca. Innate “will now receive a $50 million payment upon AstraZeneca’s dosing of the first patient in the Phase 3 trial, and a $50 million payment after the interim analysis demonstrates the combination meets a pre-defined threshold of clinical activity.” 

On this news, the Company’s American Depositary Share (“ADS”) price fell $1.62 per share, or 26.6%, to close at $4.45 per ADS on September 8, 2020.

The complaint filed alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Innate touted the results of their various Phase 2 trials as being within expectations; (2) Innate continued to reassure investors that they were eligible for the $100 million payment upon first dosing of Phase 3 trials; (3) Innate failed to timely disclose their renegotiations with AstraZeneca to split the $100 million payment into two $50 million payments, to be partially contingent on performance during the Phase 3 trials; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN) is a concept that involves the interoperability of open hardware, software, and interfaces for cellular wireless networks. 5G Americas, the wireless industry trade association and voice of 5G and LTE for the Americas, today announced the publication of a white paper titled Transition Toward Open & Interoperable Networks, highlighting how Open RAN could enable innovation in 5G networks, as network operators navigate diverse planning and deployment strategies with an interoperable multi-vendor ecosystem.

Chris Pearson, President of 5G Americas said, “Open RAN is an important topic in the industry right now. It is a development that requires a full understanding of the technical architecture and interdependent multi-vendor ecosystem.” He added, “Our 5G Americas white paper provides a critical reference tool to the overall growing 5G wireless industry to fully understand the opportunities and challenges of Open RAN.”

Open RAN architecture combines a modular base station software stack with off-the-shelf hardware, which allocates baseband and radio unit components from isolated suppliers to operate seamlessly together, whether or not elements of the RAN are virtualized or disaggregated. Even though Open RAN is gaining momentum, it is at an early phase of commercial adoption by the global wireless community.

This 5G Americas white paper covers the following topics:

• Overview and goals of Open RAN
• Operator trials and deployments
• Introduction to the ecosystem of Open RAN development bodies
• Open RAN architectural considerations
• Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML) initiatives in Open RAN
• Management, orchestration and automation of Self-Organizing Networks (SON) for varying use cases
• Key motivations & challenges faced by operators in adoption of a multi-vendor Open RAN platform

Said Durga Satapathy, Director, Advanced Technologies & Innovation at T-Mobile, “The Open RAN approach has benefited from global collaboration in the telecom ecosystem, and presents itself as an alternative worthy of consideration for greenfield deployments or any time operators embark on network upgrades or enhancements.”

One goal of the Open RAN movement is establishing network architecture that evolves network cellular networks towards an open and intelligent RAN, while complying with 3GPP standards. With Open RAN, operators could deploy networks with a mix-and-match of remote unit (RU) and distributed unit (DU) and central unit (CU) vendors.

Additionally, an Open RAN approach can provide additional flexibility to meet 5G application requirements. Specifically, 5G supports vertical applications with different network requirements for performance, capacity and latency.

Amit Mehrotra, Nokia’s Global Head of Sales for Network Planning, Optimization and Analytics said, “SLA management and seamless integration with existing networks are critical to the success of Open RAN deployments. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning applications will be essential tools to help manage and monetize networks with multiple spectrum bands, network slices and varied applications in this new 5G environment.”

According to Charlie Michaelis, Associate Director of Big Data for AT&T, “Managing the operations and the customer satisfaction of a heterogeneous-cellular network requires a complex and labor-intensive organization with specific objectives and key success factors. As cellular network operators transition to increasingly diverse heterogeneous 5G systems, AI and machine learning are increasingly needed to not only help manage capital investment, but also to manage the increasingly complex networks”.

The paper Transition Toward Open & Interoperable Networks is available for free download on the 5G Americas website. Blog post by Chris Pearson, and presentation slides are also featured on the 5G Americas website.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the upcoming December 21, 2020 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased Las Vegas Sands Corp. (“Las Vegas Sands ” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LVS) securities between February 27, 2016 and September 15, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”). 

If you suffered a loss on your Las Vegas Sands investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/las-vegas-sands-corp/. You can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at [email protected] to learn more about your rights.

On July 19, 2020, Bloomberg reported that Las Vegas Sands had settled a lawsuit brought by a former patron for $6.5 million. The lawsuit against the Company’s casino in Singapore, Marina Bay Sands, alleged that the casino transferred funds from his casino deposit accounts without his approval, which triggered a probe by local authorities. The article reported that the U.S. Department of Justice “is also scrutinizing whether anti-money laundering procedures had been breached in the way the Singapore casino handles high rollers.”

On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $1.41, or approximately 3%, to close at $47.28 per share on July 20, 2020, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on September 16, 2020, Bloomberg reported that Marina Bay Sands “has hired a law firm to conduct a new investigation into employee transfers of more than $1 billion in gamblers’ money to third parties.” The article also stated that Singapore’s Casino Regulatory Authority had identified “weaknesses in [Marina Bay Sands’] casino control measures pertaining to fund transfers.”

On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $2.18 per share, or 4%, to close at $49.67 per share on September 16, 2020, thereby injuring investors further.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that weaknesses existed in Marina Bay Sands’ casino control measures pertaining to fund transfers; (2) that the Marina Bay Sands’ casino was consequently prone to illicit fund transfers that implicated, among other issues, the transfer of customer funds to unauthorized persons and potential breaches in the Company’s anti-money laundering procedures; (3) that the foregoing foreseeably increased the risk of litigation against the Company, as well as investigation and increased oversight by regulatory authorities; (4) that Las Vegas Sands had inadequate disclosure controls and procedures; (5) that, consequently, all the foregoing issues were untimely disclosed; and (6) that, as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. 

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Las Vegas Sands securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than December 21, 2020 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action. If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to the pending class action lawsuit, please contact Charles Linehan, Esquire, of GPM, 1925 Century Park East, Suite 2100, Los Angeles, California 90067 at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, by email to [email protected], or visit our website at www.glancylaw.com.  If you inquire by email please include your mailing address, telephone number and number of shares purchased.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP (“GPM”) reminds investors of the upcoming December 23, 2020 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased JPMorgan Chase & Co. (“JPMorgan” or the “Company”) (NYSE: JPM) securities between February 23, 2016 and September 23, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

If you suffered a loss on your JPMorgan investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/jpmorgan-chase-co/. You can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at [email protected] to learn more about your rights.

On November 6, 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) announced in a press release that former JPMorgan precious metals trader John Edmonds pleaded guilty to commodities fraud and spoofing conspiracy—i.e., placing larger orders with no intention of executing, thereby creating an artificial impression of high demand or supply of the commodity in question.

On August 20, 2019, the DOJ then announced that another JPMorgan employee, Christian Trunz, had pled guilty to spoofing charges, admitting that he had learned to spoof from more senior traders and had engaged in spoofing with the knowledge and consent of his supervisors.

On September 23, 2020, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan was nearing a settlement to resolve the spoofing charges, stating that the Company was “poised to pay close to $1 billion.”

On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $2.04 per share, or 2.15%, to close at $92.74 per share on September 23, 2020.

On September 29, 2020, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission formally announced that it had ordered the Company to pay $920 million to settle spoofing and market manipulation charges.

The complaint filed alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) traders at the Company, with the knowledge and consent of their superiors, manipulated the precious metals market by “spoofing,” or placing fake orders to generate the appearance of market demand; (2) the Company had insufficient controls and compliance protocols to enable it to identify and stop the misconduct; (3) the Company’s earnings in the physical commodity market were, at least in part, ill-gotten; (4) such conduct would result in enhanced regulatory scrutiny; (5) the Company provided misleading information to CFTC investigators at early stages of the investigation into the misconduct; (6) resolution of the governmental investigation into the Company would result in a record-breaking $920 million fine; and (7) as a result, Defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Follow us for updates on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired JPMorgan securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than December 23, 2020 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff. To be a member of the Class you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the Class.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that while Tactile publicly touted a $4 plus billion or $5 plus billion market opportunity, in fact, the total addressable market for Tactile’s medical devices was materially smaller; (2) to induce sales growth and share gains, the Company and/or its employees were engaged in illicit and illegal sales and marketing activities in violation of applicable federal and state rules and public payer regulations; (3) the foregoing illicit and illegal sales and marketing activities increased the risk of a Medicare audit of the Tactile’s claims and criminal and civil liability; (4) Tactile’s profits were in part the product of unlawful conduct and thus unsustainable; and that as a result of the foregoing, (5) the Company’s public statements, including its year-over-year revenue growth and the purported growth drivers, were materially false and misleading at all relevant times; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Defendants’ statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company had significantly overpaid for previous acquisitions and experienced degradation in certain assets, including its production facilities and inventory; (2) the Company’s purported “business transformation plan” and cost reset failed to mitigate the foregoing issues; (3) accordingly, it was foreseeable that Aurora would record significant goodwill and asset impairment charges; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MDsave, leading health technology company in transparent, shoppable medical care, today announced the appointment of Patrick Gilmore as Chief Commercial Officer. Mr. Gilmore comes to MDsave with a proven background in Sales, Account Management, Marketing, Channels and Business Development and will oversee the former startup’s scaling and continued growth.

MDsave currently partners with more than 300 quality providers to offer affordable rates on procedures for patients to purchase directly online or in the hospital. Similar to online shopping, customers pay for their procedure upfront and the price includes all procedural related fees. 

Mr. Gilmore joins MDsave as the company pioneers an eCommerce transparency solution for hospitals facing the impending Transparency Rule taking effect the first of the new year 2021. Under Mr. Gilmore’s guidance, MDsave will be helping bring hospitals into federal compliance with a patient-friendly transparency site that takes the burden off of hospital IT and administration. “Hospitals shouldn’t be afraid of transparency,” said Mr. Gilmore. “Technology has evolved to the point where both patients and the providers who treat them can have a straightforward, no-surprises transaction without all the red tape in the middle.”

This is truly a Win-Win situation for the local community.”

Connecting Enterprise Technology Buyers with the Right Vendors

In the absence of large, national conferences or trade shows, CIOs and technology executives are seeking new ways to connect with their peers and find new business partners to help them drive innovation that can enable their companies to survive and grow.

Meanwhile, sales and marketing professionals at enterprise technology companies are looking for successful ways to engage with senior technology leaders and target accounts. HMG Strategy has harmonized these interests by creating the HMG Marketplace.

HMG Strategy’s high-powered Marketplace transforms the time-consuming request-for-information (RFI) process for CIOs and other technology buyers. Now, technology buyers can indicate the types of technologies and services they’re currently interested in and be matched with a prospective provider to make the connection.

“The HMG Marketplace essentially serves as a reference center to connect the right technology buyers with the right technology providers at the right time,” said Hunter Muller, President and CEO of HMG Strategy. “By filling out a short needs assessment survey, CIO, CTOs and other technology executives are connected with executive leaders and subject matter experts from technology companies to have focused, relevant discussions.”

Charter members that are actively participating in the HMG Marketplace include Appian, Aryaka, Darktrace, Forescout Technologies, Globant, Ivanti, Obsidian Security, PagerDuty, Slack, Sonatype, Tanium and Tessian.

“It’s challenging for all of us that we can’t all be together at these events,” says Nicole Eagan, Chief Strategy & AI Officer at Darktrace. “But the next best thing is being able to connect through the Marketplace. We’re committed that you won’t be meeting with a salesperson – you’ll be meeting with myself and the Darktrace executive team. You’ve got CIOs and CISOs who will attend these meetings and we would love the opportunity to catch up and strategize together.”

How it Works

After attending an HMG Strategy Executive Leadership Summit, an attendee is redirected to the HMG Marketplace, where they are prompted to fill out a short needs analysis survey to indicate their current technology needs. From there, an HMG Strategy customer relationship specialist evaluates the survey information and schedules a meeting between the technology buyer and the most suitable technology partner in the Marketplace based on the buyer’s interests.

While in the Marketplace, the technology buyer is presented with a menu of options to choose from, including an option to view customer testimonials for that vendor and the business problem that was addressed. Sponsor partners receive highly qualified leads because of the strength of relationships inherent in the HMG network combined with the specific technology or service interest indicated by the buyer.

The HMG Marketplace offers multiple benefits to both technology buyers and vendors:

• Precision matching of buyer needs with vendor capabilities — Enterprise buyers can fill out a short needs analysis survey that is used by HMG Strategy’s Customer Relationship Management team to identify the vendor that’s best suited to address their requirements.

• Accelerates the sales process for both buyers and sellers – Buyers and sellers quickly identify one another through the needs analysis process and associated reference materials

• Ensures Quality Discussions – CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and other technology buyers are qualified based on their true interest and by a set of characteristics (size, industry, types of technology/service interests, spend parameters, etc.). Buyers are paired with technology suppliers based on their domains and areas of expertise to avoid wasting time

• Drives Higher Conversion and Close Rates for Providers –The HMG Marketplace accelerates high-quality deal flow in challenging times and enables technology providers to lower their customer acquisition costs
