Online Grocer Farmstead Expands to Southern U.S. with Delivery Service Starting in Nashville, TN

Waitlist opens today: High-quality Groceries, Delivered for Free, at Better Prices Than Local Supermarkets

BURLINGAME, Calif. , Dec. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Farmstead, the first online grocer to offer fresh, high-quality groceries, delivered for free, at better prices than local supermarkets, announced today its fourth major city: Nashville, TN. Farmstead will bring its online grocery service to the area in late Q1 2021. The waitlist for service opens today and is limited to the first 1,000 people – customers can sign up here.

Farmstead got its start in the hyper-competitive San Francisco Bay Area, and is now live in North Carolina as well. It has separated itself from the pack of other delivery services by leveraging proprietary AI technology and a dark store model – delivery-centric warehouses that serve a 50-mile radius. Because of this unique approach, Farmstead offers prices comparable to or lower than most supermarkets, but with free delivery to doorstep. The company is growing quickly, with plans to expand nationwide to a primarily mid-market audience.

Farmstead will open multiple dark stores, which greatly ease entry into new geographies, reduce food waste by 3-4x and help eliminate food deserts by making fast, inexpensive delivery available to a wider area. Most of all, they meet customers’ desire for perfect orders with no stockouts, delivered free, with no markups. With Farmstead, customers can get all of their groceries – high-quality local brands such as Goo-Goo Cluster, Olive & Sinclair and Bongo Java, national brands such as Kraft, Nabisco and fresh meats, dairy and produce – from one place. 

“Nashville is a great fit for Farmstead delivery; it’s a thriving, densely populated city that fits our mid-market profile customers who want their favorite brands and fresh groceries, all delivered to their doorstep with no markups,” said Pradeep Elankumaran, co-founder and CEO of Farmstead. “Farmstead cracked the code on how to make grocery delivery fast and inexpensive without sacrificing quality or wasting food, and we’re excited to roll out our service to Nashville residents in early 2021.”

Farmstead’s customer base has grown by double-digits, month over month, throughout 2020, and it is planning to expand to at least 14 more markets in 2021.

Medexus (MDP.V) expands specialty pharmaceuticals portfolio

PR Newswire

By Global Stocks News

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Medexus Pharmaceuticals (MDP.V) is a specialty pharmaceuticals company that delivers innovative medicines to underserved segments of the market.

With over 20,000 prescription drug products approved for marketing in North America, the pharmacology space is fiercely competitive. Identifying “underserved markets” requires scientific, regulatory and business savvy. 

Medexus’ CEO Ken d’Entremont – a chemist by trade – is the former V.P of business development at Big Pharma company Sanofi, where he led the in-licensing initiatives for Sanofi Canada.

The current focus at MDP includes rheumatology (arthritis/joints/muscles), auto-immune disease (diabetes/MS/lupus), specialty oncology (cancer) and pediatrics (child healthcare).

On December 18, 2020 Medexus announced it has signed an exclusive license agreement with Ethypharm to register and commercialize Triamcinolone Hexacetonide Injectable Suspension 20 mg/mL (TH) in the U.S.

TH is used to treat adults and teenagers suffering from arthritis. The effects last twice as long as competitive products.

This exclusive agreement is expected to address existing supply chain issues, while reducing hospital visits and the need for general anesthetics.

Physically active aging Baby Boomers are plagued by joint pain.  Next year, the total number of people older than 65 years will jump to 656 million (about 11% of the population).  In California, the over-65 population is increasing at twice the speed of millennials.

According to an Acumen Research Report, the global Joint Pain Injections Market is estimated to grow at CAGR 8% in the next six years, to reach USD $5.7 billion by 2026.

Medexus expects to file for FDA approval of TH within 12-24 months.

On November 16, 2020 Medexus published financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 (Q2, 2021).

Medexus achieved revenue of $23.6 million (CND) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, a 40% increase over the same period, the previous year.

The big revenue growth catalyst was the $3 million quarterly revenue derived from IXINITY sales.

IXINITY is used to treat Hemophilia B – a hereditary bleeding disorder.  Hemophilia occurs in approximately 1 in 5,000 live births.

IXINITY was absorbed by MDP in February, 2020 in a “transformative acquisition“.  At that time, the product was booking 40% year-over-year growth. Since that event, the MDP stock price has risen 74%.

MDP paid USD $30 million for IXINITY.  The purchase price was non-dilutive – coming from existing cash and a $20 million credit facility with MidCap Financial.

The U.S. hemophilia B market is approximately USD $734 million and growing, with a highly concentrated prescriber base (limited number of physicians treating the disorder).

“IXINITY is an FDA approved product with a track record of safety, efficacy and growing sales,” stated d’Entremont.

The product is currently approved for patients 12 years and older. An MDP Phase 4 clinical trial is investigating the safety and efficacy of IXINITY for children.

“The pediatric segment is estimated to represent one-third of the hemophilia B population,” stated d’Entremont, who is targeting “a label expansion” for IXINITY.

“Medexus’ $95 million 12-month trailing revenue is within 5% of its current market cap,” stated Global News CEO Guy Bennett on December 20, 2020, “By comparison, the $209 billion Pfizer has 12-month trailing revenue of about $45 billion, about 21% of its market cap”.

Medexus has 43 dedicated North American sales reps.

The November 16, 2020 financials reveal that Medexus’ selling and admin expenses decreased this quarter from 64.4% of revenue to 46.6% of revenue.

Pennexx Announces its Smartphone, Tablet and Laptop App Development Project and Discusses the Associated Benefits of These Applications

Philadelphia, PA, Dec. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire — Pennexx (PNNX) has announced its initiative to creating applications to enhance its current https://yoursocialoffers.com Your Social Offers (YSO) platform.

Pennexx has been developing this application in conjunction with OEM manufacturers to be compatible with Android and Apple IOS smartphones and tablets as well as Microsoft Windows and Google Chrome laptops and tablets. 

This application will generate new and exciting opportunities for the YSO brand because it enhances its availability and functionality. The company is working on contracts with OEM manufacturers and resellers to have the software pre-installed (preloaded and bundled) on devices to create an immediate value to shareholders and the company’s revenues while creating a unique benefit to users who receive these devices.

By preloading the YSO app on user’s devices and the simple click of the YSO icon, they eliminate the need for users to navigate the internet to locate the product themselves. Users will automatically be introduced to YSO and learn about the benefits of the product.

This application will also be made available in the Google and Apple Store, providing a great deal of visibility and easy access to the consumer. 

This App will give users more functionality, such as being immediately notified when they are in the vicinity of a YSO merchant, locating products by scanning in-store barcodes, and the ability to search for products, services, and merchants directly from the App.

It will also include features for the user to make redemption and management of coupons easier. Consumers can show a merchant their coupon with a simple click eliminating the need to open an email with the coupon.

The YSO app preloaded on these devices creates more savings for the consumer and more business for merchants. It will increase the number of YSO consumers and increase Pennexx’s revenue by increasing sales and licensing fees.

The App will also connect with the YSO debit card so that users can manage their YSO funds, directly receive rewards, and complete purchases directly. 

According to Medium.com https://medium.com/@KNOWARTH/9-advantages-of-mobile-apps-over-responsive-ecommerce-websites-6aed1e6db0d8, there are nine advantages to a mobile smartphone app as opposed to the responsive website access that YSO currently offers. They include:

  •  Faster access
  •  A more personalized experience
  •  Instant online and offline access, excellent when you may have limited coverage inside a merchant
  •  Utilization of geolocation features
  •  Push notifications keeping the user engaged
  •  Specific branding and design
  •  Increased productivity and reach quicker
  •  More interactive engagement keeping users interested 
  •  Advantages with in-app content as well as directing users to website content

YSO is planning to offer social media influencers a direct, trackable link to sharing offers and monetizing their social influence in a real-time manner. 

The App will include collecting donations for charities with unique coupons for merchants only available to those who donate.

Users can also have the ability to purchase coupons redeemed with merchants with a system similar to that of GroupOn™. 

When YSO makes this App available to all the major platforms, users will benefit from YSO, and YSO should benefit from a tremendous increase in user potential, revenues, and branding.

All of these features, in combination, can have the effect of supercharging YSO’s growth.

Vincent Risalvato, CEO of Pennexx, said, “Pennexx has been developing the smartphone app in a confidential manner; however, it is now close enough to being completed to announce to the public. I consider this a major milestone in the company and one that I believe will redefine YSO and Pennexx as a whole. Joining the Apple and Google App Store marketplace will give our consumers and merchants a tremendous tool for growth and savings.” 

According to Statista.com https://www.statista.com/statistics/322286/groupon-mobile-app-downloads/, the GroupOn™ smartphone app was downloaded to devices 200 million times in 2019. Pennexx believes the YSO App represents more value to a consumer than the GroupOn™ App because it hosts additional varieties for the consumers can be rewarded.

SHAREHOLDER ACTION REMINDER: The Schall Law Firm Announces the Filing of a Class Action Lawsuit Against Sona Nanotech Inc. and Encourages Investors with Losses in Excess of $100,000 to Contact the Firm

SHAREHOLDER ACTION REMINDER: The Schall Law Firm Announces the Filing of a Class Action Lawsuit Against Sona Nanotech Inc. and Encourages Investors with Losses in Excess of $100,000 to Contact the Firm

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against Sona Nanotech Inc. (“Sona” or “the Company”) (OTC: SNANF) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors who purchased the Company’s securities between July 2, 2020 and November 25, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”), are encouraged to contact the firm before February 16, 2021.

If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

We also encourage you to contact Brian Schall of the Schall Law Firm, 2049 Century Park East, Suite 2460, Los Angeles, CA 90067, at 310-301-3335, to discuss your rights free of charge. You can also reach us through the firm’s website at www.schallfirm.com, or by email at [email protected].

The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Sona unreasonably represented to the market that it could receive field studies of its COVID-19 antigen test within one month. The Company’s positive statements about its antigen tests were unfounded. In fact, the FDA would deprioritize emergency use authorization approval of the Company’s antigen test stating it did not meet “the public health need.” The Company did not have a reasonable basis to believe that data collected in a short time would be acceptable to the FDA or Health Canada. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Sona, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.

The Schall Law Firm represents investors around the world and specializes in securities class action lawsuits and shareholder rights litigation.

This press release may be considered Attorney Advertising in some jurisdictions under the applicable law and rules of ethics.

Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP: Securities Fraud Class Action Filed Against Splunk Inc. – SPLK

PR Newswire

RADNOR, Pa., Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The law firm of Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP alerts investors that a securities fraud class action lawsuit has been filed against Splunk Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLK) (“Splunk”) on behalf of those who purchased or otherwise acquired Splunk common stock between October 21, 2020 and December 2, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”).


Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Splunk common stock


during the Class Period may, no later than February 2, 2021, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. For additional information or to learn how to participate in this litigation please click

https://www.ktmc.com/splunk-inc-securities-class-action?utm_source=PR&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=splunk

.

According to its filings with the SEC, Splunk “Provides innovative software solutions that ingest data from different sources including systems, devices and interactions, and turn[s] that data into meaningful business insights across the organization.” Splunk states that its “Data-to-Everything platform enables users to investigate, monitor, analyze and act on data regardless of format or source.”

The Class Period commences on October 21, 2020, when Splunk held a call with several analysts at the Virtual Analyst & Investor Session at .conf.20. On this call, Splunk assured investors that everything was on track for the close of the third quarter, which was just ten days after the call.

However, the truth regarding its third quarter was revealed after the market closed on December 2, 2020, when Splunk announced its financial results for its third fiscal quarter for 2021.  In its announcement, Splunk reported total revenues of $559 million, down 11% year-over-year and which missed estimates by nearly $60 million. Furthermore, Splunk announced quarterly non-GAAP earnings per share of –$0.07, missing estimates by $0.15, as well as GAAP earnings per share of –$1.26, missing by $0.24 per share.

Following this news, shares of Splunk common stock fell, closing at $158.03 per share on December 3, 2020, down over 23% from the December 2, 2020 closing price of $205.91 per share.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, the defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Splunk was not closing deals with its largest customers in the third fiscal quarter of 2021; (2) Splunk was not hitting the financial targets it had previously announced; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, the defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Splunk investors who wish to discuss this securities fraud class action lawsuit and their legal options are encouraged to contact Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP (James Maro, Jr., Esq. or Adrienne Bell, Esq.) at (844) 887-9500 (toll free) or at [email protected].

Splunk investors may, no later than February 2, 2021, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.  A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.  In order to be appointed as a lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class.  Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision of whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.

Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check prosecutes class actions in state and federal courts throughout the country involving securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of state and federal law. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check is a driving force behind corporate governance reform, and has recovered billions of dollars on behalf of institutional and individual investors from the United States and around the world.  The firm represents investors, consumers and whistleblowers (private citizens who report fraudulent practices against the government and share in the recovery of government dollars).  The complaint in this action was not filed by Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check.

Blockchain Africa Conference 2021 will take a deep dive into the factors pushing blockchain from hype to mainstream adoption.

“We are pleased to work with Bitcoin Events and heighten the visibility of their blockchain conference in Africa as we enter into next year,” said Jonathan Keim, Director of Communications for CryptoCurrencyWire. “We’ve seen a significant uptick in interest surrounding both blockchain and cryptocurrency in recent months, so this event exploring the technology’s move from hype to mainstream adoption couldn’t come at a better time. Our team looks forward to putting our syndication partnerships to work for this class-leading conference.”
