RLF, NATIONAL TRIAL COUNSEL, Encourages Metagenomi, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – MGX

NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of stock of Metagenomi, Inc. MGX pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering conducted between February 9 and 13, 2024 (the “IPO”), of the important November 25, 2024 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Metagenomi stock 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 Metagenomi class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=29254 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 November 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, Metagenomi introduced itself to investors during its IPO as a “genetic medicines company” having a long-standing business relationship with Moderna, one of the leading Covid-19 vaccine companies. Integral to Metagenomi’s collaboration with Moderna was the claim that the two companies had entered into a Strategic Collaboration and License Agreement on October 29, 2021, which included multiple four-year research programs and a subsequent licensed product-by-licensed product agreement. Metagenomi completed its initial public offering on February 13, 2024, selling 6.25 million shares at $15 per share. However, less than three months later, on May 1, 2024, Metagenomi announced that it and Moderna had “mutually agreed to terminate their collaboration” agreement. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Metagenomi class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=29254 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.

NEW GLASGOW, NS, Oct. 18, 2024 /CNW/ – Today, the federal government, the provincial government, and Nova Scotia Co-operative Council announced they had contributed nearly $4 million in combined funding to help build 20 affordable homes in New Glasgow.

Owned and operated by Nova Scotia Co-operative Council, Coady’s Place, Phase 2 – located at 917 East River Road – has studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments for low-income individuals, seniors, and families.

The apartments are fully furnished, with power, heat, water and waste management costs included in the rent. Of the twenty units, four are accessible, and all the common areas are barrier free, ensuring that individuals with mobility challenges can live there comfortably.

In May 2022, Coady’s Place received close to $2.1 million in federal funding to support 36 new affordable apartments for individuals and families in New Glasgow under the Rapid Housing Initiative for Phase 1. The project also received $3 million from the Nova Scotia Department of Municipal Affairs and Housing for operating support and to help ensure affordability of the housing units.

Funding for this project include:

  • $500,000 as a forgivable loan from the federal government’s Affordable Housing Fund.
  • $496,125 as a low interest, repayable loan from the federal government’s Affordable Housing Fund.
  • $77,619 from the federal government through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s SEED funding program.
  • $1.5 million from the Province of Nova Scotia’s Affordable Housing Development Program.
  • $305,593 in land and cash equity from Nova Scotia Co-operative Council.

Quotes:

“Affordable housing is one of the core issues facing our community and this investment in phase two of Coady’s Place will provide more people and families a safe and affordable place to call home. We will continue to work with partners to invest in affordable housing projects here at home and across the country.” – The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities

“Across the province, we’re hearing from Nova Scotians who are struggling to find a place to call home, and we’re working to change that. We’re grateful to be partnering with Coady’s Place and with the federal government to help bring more affordable housing to New Glasgow.”Pat Dunn, Member of Legislative Assembly for Pictou Centre, Province of Nova Scotia, on behalf of the Honourable John Lohr, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing 

“We are thrilled to officially open Coady’s Place Phase 2, which will provide safe, affordable housing to 28 individuals including seniors, woman and their children, and newcomers. We won’t stop this critically important work, until every person who needs a safe, affordable place where they can lay their ‘head on a pillow”, has one. We hope our Federal and Provincial governments will continue to support us in this mission.” Dianne Kelderman, President and CEO, Nova Scotia Co-operative Council

Celularity Inc. Receives Notice from Nasdaq; Confirms Intention to File an Appeal

FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Oct. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Celularity Inc. CELU (the “Company”), a regenerative medicine company developing and commercializing placental-derived technologies, today announced that it has received a formal notice from the Listing Qualifications department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on October 16, 2024, indicating that the Company is subject to delisting due to its inability to timely file its Forms 10-Q for the the periods ended March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024 (the “Forms 10-Q”) within the prescribed 180-day compliance period. Nasdaq’s notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock and warrants, which continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “CELU” and “CELUW”, respectively.

The Company will appeal the determination with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel prior to October 24, 2024, and request a hearing to present its plan to regain compliance and, if necessary, request a stay of suspension pending the hearing. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the plan, that the Company will regain compliance within any additional compliance period, or that the Company will maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

The Company remains committed to regaining full compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. The Company has filed its annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2023 within the compliance period and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter 2024 on October 16, 2024. Additionally, the Company intends to file its Form 10-Q for the second quarter 2024 within the coming weeks.

Robert J. Hariri, MD, PhD, Chairman and CEO of the Company, commented, “Like many companies operating in our sector, we have faced significant financial challenges over the years, which affected our ability to file financial reports on time. It’s important to note that these delays are not due to any accounting irregularities or issues, but rather reflect the limitations imposed by our liquidity constraints and the stretched capacity of our internal resources. We remain confident in the path forward, particularly with the recently announced acquisition of the Rebound™ product, which will meaningfully enhance our cash position and provide a stronger foundation for operational stability. With this strengthened financial outlook, we do not expect similar delays to occur in the future.”

The Company remains dedicated to meeting its reporting obligations and is working diligently with its auditors to complete the necessary filings. The Company will provide further updates as developments occur.

Mattel To Report Q3 Earnings: Here's What To Expect From The Stock

Mattel, Inc. MAT is scheduled to report third-quarter 2024 results on Oct. 23, 2024, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 18.8%.

Trend In Estimate Revision

For the quarter to be reported, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 94 cents, down 13% year over year. In the past seven days, earnings estimates for the quarter have been revised upward by 1 cent per share.

For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $1.84 billion. The metric suggests a decline of 4.1% from the year-ago figure.

Let us discuss the factors that are likely to be reflected in the quarter to be reported.

Factors To Note

Mattel’s third-quarter 2024 results are likely to be negatively impacted by soft sales in North America. The dismal performance of Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Dolls and Vehicle products is likely to have hurt North America’ sales. The company is facing a challenging macroeconomic environment.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Worldwide gross billings by the top three Power Brands, Barbie, Fisher-Price and Hot Wheels is pegged at $524 million, $307 million and $455, respectively, down 13.4% and 3.2% and flat year over year.

On the other hand, the company’s bottom line is likely to have been hurt by higher input cost inflation, unfavorable fixed cost absorption and other supply-chain costs. Also, higher severance and restructuring expenses, incentive compensation and pay increases are likely to have negatively impacted the bottom line. However, its ongoing cost-saving program is expected to have partially offset the adverse effects of these headwinds. This includes simplifying its organizational structure and optimizing processes and supply chain to generate savings across operations.

Contributions from the IP-driven toy business, innovations across the toy portfolio and the expansion of entertainment offerings bode well.
