mnl top646 Investors can contact the law firm at no cost to learn more about recovering their losses LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Portnoy Law Firm advises Dentsply Sirona, Inc. ("Dentsply" or the "Company") XRAY investors of a class action representing investors that bought securities between February 28, 2022, and November 6, 2024 , inclusive (the "Class Period"). Dentsply investors have until January 27, 2025 to file a lead plaintiff motion. Investors are encouraged to contact attorney Lesley F. Portnoy , by phone 310-692-8883 or email : lesley@portnoylaw.com , to discuss their legal rights, or click here to join the case. The Portnoy Law Firm can provide a complimentary case evaluation and discuss investors' options for pursuing claims to recover their losses. Dentsply manufactures professional dental products and technologies, as well as develops, produces, and markets dental equipment, dental products, and healthcare consumables. The Class Action alleges that, during the Class Period, Defendants made misleading statements and omissions regarding the Company's business, financial condition, and prospects. Specifically, the Defendants failed to disclose to investors that the Company targeted low-income individuals with underlying dental issues who were ineligible for traditional aligner treatments, sold Byte aligners—a direct-to-consumer (DTC) aligner solution—to inappropriate patients, and knew that these Byte aligners were causing significant patient injuries. As the true nature of Dentsply's business became known, the price of its stock experienced substantial declines, causing harm to investors. For example, on November 7, 2024, before the market opened, Dentsply filed a Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, announcing a major downward revision to its 2024 outlook. Dentsply attributed the revision to "market pressures affecting U.S. equipment, legislative changes impacting the direct-to-consumer aligner business model, and the voluntary suspension of sales, marketing, and shipments" of Byte. Following this news, Dentsply's stock price fell by $6.72 per share, or more than 28%, closing at $17.26 per share on November 7, 2024, with heavy trading volume.

"I personally think that the young people have the right to participate in elections and to form a political party -- none should discourage them," he said yesterday at a session of the two-day-long national dialogue organised by Forum for Bangladesh Studies. Mature political parties should encourage them. "They are not your rivals. If you do not nurture them, we will see the same things. We need young blood flowing in politics," he said at the event held at the Krishibid Institution Bangladesh. The Students Against Discrimination movement, which initiated the mass uprising that led to the fall of the Awami League government, and their sister platform Jatiya Nagorik Committee are planning to form a new political party within a month or two, their leaders said. The interim government will not be in power for a long period, Sakhawat said. If reforms do not take place now, then it will be difficult to have them in future, he said, while likening the current ails in the system to a cobra's venom. "You cannot keep a cobra outside and work inside the house. Until you get rid of the venom of cobra you are not safe." But the reforms will take time, he said. "You cannot change anything overnight. We need to change the political system of the country. Changes only in the electoral law are not enough. Political culture must be changed." He, however, acknowledged that Bangladesh needs stability at the moment. "We are going through a big challenge. People who will take power after the interim government will also face a very big challenge. And the challenge is not only internal but also the biggest challenge is coming from external sources." Referring to the activities of the Arakan Army in Rakhine of Myanmar, Sakhawat said he had repeatedly said that a new system is coming up in the East, so preparations must be taken. "Now it is happening. You have a new neighbour and they are a different kind of neighbour. If we cannot establish the fastest communication with them, there might be trouble from them also." Sakhawat proposed bicameral legislation, a partial proportional representation system, increasing women's seats in the parliament to 100, election through PR for the women's seats and enactment of political parties' act to oversee the activities of parties. The upper house should oversee the national polls so that a caretaker government system will not be needed to oversee the parliamentary polls, Sakhawat said. Earlier, Gonoforum leader Subrata Chowdhury said the unity that was seen immediately after the July uprising has weakened a lot now. "Forming a political party under government blessing is never a blessing for countrymen," he added. The words "Jano Ganotantrik Bangladesh" should be included in place of "Gano Prajantantry Bangladesh", said New Age Editor Nurul Kabir. Although both the terms translate as the People's Republic of Bangladesh, the word "Praja" has a different meaning in Bangla; it means subjects in a feudal system. There should not be any national religion and the five basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, health, and education should be included in the fundamental rights part of the constitution. "Democratisation of education is a must need... If we have three different streams of education which creates three separate groups and cultures, we will move to civil war." He proposed for a uniform education system and the medium of instruction should be Bengali. A framework of constitutional reform can be prepared, said Hasnat Quaiyum, chief coordinator Rastro Songskar Andolon. A constituent assembly can be formed through the next general polls, said Sarwar Tusher, joint convenor of the Jatiya Nagorik Committee. After completion of the framing of the new constitution, that constituent assembly can turn into a regular legislature. "It is not fair to put reform and election face to face. Some people are talking about de-politicisation, that is just rhetoric. We need to have unity on Bangladesh and not just on election," he added. Ganosamhati Andolon's Executive Coordinator Abul Hasan Rubel supported Sarwar's proposal for a constituent assembly. New political settlement following a mass upsurge makes reforms inevitable, he added. "This government is for the people, of the people, but not by the people," said Habibur Rahman, Chhatra Dol research cell member. The government should focus on limited reforms rather than highly ambitious ones, he said, adding that constitution-making is a majoritarian exercise. The interim government should take exemplary steps in the economic sector, said Rashed Al Mahmud Titumir, a professor of economics at the University of Dhaka. Equality, human dignity and social justice inscribed in the proclamation of independence should be premises of the constitution, said Lyricist Shahidullah Faraizee. Islami Andolan Bangladesh Joint-Secretary General Maulana Gazi Ataur Rahman said they favour the freedom of religion of all and they are free to exercise their religion. He proposed having a proportionate representation system.

( MENAFN - EIN Presswire) A Delaware Court has rejected Tesla's attempt to reinstate Elon Musk's court-rescinded options despite Tesla's shareholders“ratification” of the options. Tesla and Musk could appeal the latest court decision or the earlier decision which initially struck down the Musk option grant. Separately, the Court approved record-setting attorney fees in the amount of $345 million, down from the initial fee request of $5.6 billion. The saga of Elon Musk's option mega-grant continues. shareholders first approved the multi-billion-dollar option grant in 2018. A Delaware court judge rescinded the grant on January 30, 2024, followed by a shareholder vote ratifying the rescinded option grant on June 13, 2024. On June 30, 2024, Tesla filed a motion with the Delaware court seeking reinstatement of the option grant on the basis of this shareholder ratification. On December 2, 2024, the Delaware court rejected Tesla's motion and let stand its decision to rescind the grant. Against this backdrop, Tesla's market capitalization has increased from approximately $50 billion to an extraordinary $1 trillion+ over the same time period. This increase in market capitalization has driven the in-the-money value of these options to approximately $100 billion! After the January 2024 court decision rescinding Musk's option grants, Tesla executed what appears to be a novel legal strategy with the goal of persuading the Delaware court to reverse its decision. This strategy was premised on the legal theory that a post-judgment shareholder ratification of the Musk options would“cure” wrongs found by the Delaware court in connection with the grant of the options (including disclosure deficiencies, procedural deficiencies and breaches of fiduciary duty). In its proxy disclosure to shareholders, Tesla contended that the curing of these wrongs through shareholder ratification would result in the reinstatement of Musk's options. In addition, Tesla contended that the restoration of the option grants would undermine the rationale supporting plaintiffs' attorney's $5 billion+ fee request and would justify a substantial reduction by the Court of such requested fees. On June 13, 2024, 76% of Tesla shareholders approved the ratification of the Musk options. On June 28, 2024, Tesla petitioned the Delaware Court to reverse its decision to rescind the Musk grants. On December 2, 2024, the Delaware court minced no words in its wholesale rejection of Tesla's motion to reverse the court's decision rescinding Musk's option grants. At the outset of its decision, the court acknowledges that“the large and talented group of defense firms got creative with the ratification argument.” The pleasantries ended there with the court finding that defense counsels'“unprecedented theories” underlying the ratification argument“go against multiple strains of settled law.” In particular, the court noted that counsels' theories were defective in the following ways: . The defendants have no procedural ground for flipping the outcome of an adverse post-trial decision based on evidence they created after trial and noting that“[w]ere the court to condone the practice of allowing defeated parties to create new facts for the purpose of revising judgments, lawsuits would become interminable”. . Common-law ratification is an affirmative defense that must be timely raised, which means that, at a minimum, it cannot be raised for the first time after the decision. . What the defendants call“common law ratification” has no basis in the common law, a stockholder vote standing alone cannot ratify a conflicted-controller transaction. . Even if a stockholder vote could have a ratifying effect, it could not do so here due to multiple, material misstatements in the proxy statement seeking shareholder ratification. The court noted that each of these defects standing alone defeats Tesla's motion to reverse the court's prior holding. Tesla has already indicated that it will appeal the court's decision to the Delaware Supreme Court. When the appeal will be heard, and a decision rendered is not known at this time. The Delaware Court also ruled on plaintiffs' counsel fee request. In an epic display of understatement, the court noted the following: “The plaintiff's attorneys asked for $5.6 billion in freely tradeable Tesla shares. In a case about excessive compensation, that was a bold ask.” The court found the methodology used to calculate the requested fees was“sound” (i.e., based on a percentage of the“value of the benefit achieved” by counsel i.e., $56 billion) but would result in an unjustifiable“windfall” for plaintiffs' counsel. As suggested by defense counsel, the court determined that the value of the benefit achieved should reflect the reversal of the accounting expense associated with the rescission of Musk's options, which equaled the options' grant date fair value of $2.3 billion. The court then applied a“conservative” 15% fee percentage to arrive at a fee award of $345 million, which the court opined was“an appropriate sum to reward a total victory.” The fee award is a record by a Delaware court. Tesla may pay the approved attorney fees in either stock or cash. Meridian comments. Many legal observers predicted the Delaware court's decision to rebuff Tesla's attempt to reinstate Musk's options given the unprecedented nature of Tesla's legal gambit. The decision itself does not cover any new ground on corporate governance relative to the setting and approval of executive compensation. Further, as we noted in an earlier Client Update, [1] the initial decision rescinding the Musk option grant does not have widespread application to corporate board pay decisions, due to the relatively unique fact pattern underlying the Musk case. The cornerstone of the case was Musk's status as a“controlling shareholder.” Only a handful of public company CEOs could plausibly be labeled a controlling shareholder under the court's analysis. However, the court's decision serves as an important reminder that Boards and compensation committees should maintain sound procedures and practices when developing executive pay packages. Early opinion among legal writers is that the Delaware Supreme Court is unlikely to overturn the lower court's decision on the recission of Musk's option grants. If that turns out to be the case, then the Tesla board could approve a replacement equity grant with a value approximating the current in-the-money value of the rescinded option grants (i.e., $100 billion). However, unlike the 2018 option grants, the Board could conclude that the replacement grant should be subject solely to time-based vesting since Tesla achieved and exceeded the performance goals under the rescinded grant. Without regard to the merits of the Delaware Court's initial decision to rescind Musk's grants, the facts and circumstances surrounding the option grant are likely to confound a non-legal observer as to how the grant harmed shareholders. Shareholders clearly understood the economics of the option grant at the time of its approval. The supposed conflicted and controlled board and compensation committee did not approve a sweetheart grant. Tesla could have granted Mr. Musk a mega grant of time-based restricted stock with a relatively short vesting period (and precedent exists for such grants at other public companies). Instead, Tesla's board and compensation committee approved a grant with fantastical and unprecedented performance goals that at the time of grant had an extremely low probability of achievement. The fact that these performance goals were achieved and exceeded does not demonstrate that such goals were not requiring at the time they were set. 1See Meridian Client Update Delaware Court Strikes Down Musk's $56 Billion Pay Package , February 16, 2024.(go back) Legal Disclaimer: EIN Presswire provides this news content "as is" without warranty of any kind.

Morgan EM Corporate Bond ETF (BATS:CEMB) Shares Down 0.1% – Should You Sell?EXCLUSIVE Aussie's whinge about new rules for Victorian landlords spectacularly backfires: 'Wow' Victorian government introduce new reforms for rentals Under the bill, rentals must meet minimum standards READ MORE: Dire warning Albo's plan to solve rental crisis could backfire By ANTOINETTE MILIENOS FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA Published: 22:59, 29 December 2024 | Updated: 23:19, 29 December 2024 e-mail View comments A landlord has been slammed after voicing his concern over new laws protecting tenants and ensuring rentals meet the basic standards of living. The Victorian Labor government introduced the Consumer and Planning Legislation Amendment (Housing Statement Reform) Bill set to strengthen the rights of renters. Premier Jacinta Allan and minister for consumer affairs Gabrielle Williams explained the bill would deliver a raft of sweeping reforms that crack down on rental providers and dodgy rentals. Under the bill, rental providers and their agents could face fines of more than $11,000 for individuals and $59,000 for companies if the property they have rented does not meet minimum standards. Ms Allan said too often tenants move into properties that still require urgent repairs or maintenance to comply with the minimum standards of a rental. 'New tenants should be able to focus on where they put their couch, not worrying about if they need to go to VCAT because the mould in the bathroom that was supposed to be removed after the inspection is still there,' Ms Allan said. Rental activist Jordan van den Lamb, founder of the s***rentals.org website and known online as PurplePingers, mocked one landlord after he shared his concern. The landlord claimed older properties would become too costly to repair if they were forced to meet minimum standards under the new laws. The Victorian Labor Government has introduced sweeping new reforms cracking down on rental providers and dodgy rentals 'Property managers would be required to audit all their properties,' he posted on Facebook. 'Holes in carpets, a gate not working, windows nailed shut and cracked concrete paths will all be utterly unacceptable. 'Jacinta has introduced these laws to keep the trades in work. My concern is numerous older properties will simply become to costly to get up to standard. 'Around suburbs like Colliingwood, Footscray and Dandenong, literally every second rental property will fail badly. 'There would be another way of rental properties being sold.' Mr van den Lamb shared a screenshot of the landlord's post to his X account on Saturday, mocking him for his absurd complaints. 'Next year we'll have to make sure our investment properties comply with the law and that's a bad thing,' Mr van den Lamb wrote. 'We'll have to provide state of the art rentals with things like WINDOWS THAT AREN'T NAILED SHUT and if I have to do that I'm gonna sell my third investment property.' Rental activist Jordan van den Lamb (pictured) mocked one landlord after he shared claimed it would be too costly to bring older properties up to minimum standards under the new reforms Read More Shocking moment real estate boss 'says the quiet part out loud' in online stoush with renters Social media users also slammed the landlord with many claiming the minimum standard was an easily achievable goal to make something liveable. 'If your property is not up to scratch, you can’t rent it out. Simple,' one person commented. 'Wow! Rentals that are code compliant?' another person wrote. 'An authority that ensures they are? Could it possibly be real? Is my open air and not fitting the frame front door code complaint?' 'Human rights are quite a frightening concept to property investors,' a third chimed. A fourth added: 'The minimum standard should be: if the landlord wouldn’t live in it for a year as it is, you can’t expect the tenant to'. Under the new reforms landlords will face penalties if they withhold a tenants bond and fail to provide photographic evidence of damaged property along with a receipt outlining the cost of repairs. Landlords will also lose the right to evict a tenant without a genuine reason and real estate agents will be banned from charging prospective tenants with the cost of conducting a background check on their rental history. Hidden fees and charges which exist on third-party apps used by tenants to pay their rent will also be removed. The cost of breaking a lease will also be capped, with renters paying one week's rent for each remaining month of their contract - and only up to a maximum of four weeks. The Victorian parliament is set to introduce the reforms in stages over the next 12 months, with legislation to ban unreasonable evictions coming into effect this year. Landlords will still maintain the power to evict a tenant if they cause damage, fail to pay their rent or if the owner wants to move back into the property.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is alone at the top. Crosby broke Mario Lemieux's franchise record for most assists in team history during a 3-2 win against the New York Islanders on Sunday. “I want to congratulate Sid on setting the team's assist record,” Lemieux said in a statement released by the team. “He's an amazing player and we're so fortunate to have him in Pittsburgh. I look forward to even more great things from him.” Crosby was behind the net in the second period when he sent a backhand feed to Michael Bunting, who buried a power-play goal behind Marcus Hogberg at 1:36, putting the Penguins ahead 2-0. After the goal was announced, play briefly stopped as Crosby received a standing ovation and waved his glove to acknowledge the hometown crowd. “As the years go on, I think you appreciate those kinds of things a little bit more,” said Crosby, who said he plans to give the puck to his father. “It's not why you play by any means, but to get (the record) and to get that kind of reception, it means a lot.” Crosby now has 1,034 assists, good for 12th in NHL history. Only three players — Ray Bourque, Wayne Gretzky and Steve Yzerman — have more assists with a single team. The 37-year-old Crosby has played 1,310 regular-season games. Lemieux played 915. “I have a lot of appreciation for what the guys have done on that list, especially Mario and what he means to the city and the organization,” Crosby said. “All the guys who have played prior to me, it's just really nice to be part of that company.” Crosby scored a goal and added three assists to tie the record during a 7-3 home win Monday against Philadelphia. Crosby thought he broke the mark during a road loss on Saturday against the Islanders, but the assist was taken away. “It was a little weird the way it went down,” Crosby admitted. Lemieux, who finished his Hall of Fame career with 1,723 points, led Pittsburgh to its first two Stanley Cups in 1991 and 1992 as a player. Lemieux owned the team when Crosby captioned the Penguins to championships in 2009, 2016 and 2017. “The accomplishment, the milestone he's reached, this is just one more,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “It's more evidence of an amazing career. He's one of the best players to ever play.” AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhlTransforming Home Buying with Virtual Reality: Insights from Nathan Nasseri of ResVR

West Ham produced a clinical away performance to beat resurgent Newcastle 2-0 on Monday (November 26, 2024), easing the pressure on beleaguered manager Julen Lopetegui. Tomas Soucek headed the visitors in front against the run of play at St James' Park and Aaron Wan-Bissaka grabbed a rare goal in the second half to double the Hammers' lead. Newcastle were unable to capitalise on the chances they created, failing to build on the momentum created by recent wins against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. The result, only West Ham's second win on the road this season, lifts them to 15 points, just three behind 10th-placed Newcastle, who missed out on the chance to move into the top six. Relief It will be a huge relief for Lopetegui, whose future has been a matter of mounting speculation just months after he replaced David Moyes. "We are happy, above all because we achieved the three points, which is one important thing, but above all because I think that we played well," the Spaniard told Sky Sports . "We are happy, but tomorrow we are working hard, looking forward to the next challenge (against Arsenal). To think about the long future doesn't help, ever." The home side made the early running and in-form forward Alexander Isak had the ball in the net in the fifth minute after a delicate dink over Lukasz Fabianski, only for it to be ruled out for offside. West Ham, expected to face a tough test on Newcastle's home turf, showed little adventure in the opening stages. But their first real foray up the pitch resulted in a corner and the unmarked Soucek powered home a header from Emerson Palmieri's set-piece in the 10th minute. Newcastle, on a three-match winning run in all competitions, enjoyed the bulk of the possession as a lively first half unfolded but West Ham were robust in defence and were a constant threat on the counter. Anthony Gordon had a glorious chance to level after a poor clearance from Jean-Clair Todibo but fired straight at Fabianski. Minutes later Isak chested down a superb cross from Bruno Guimaraes but steered narrowly wide on the stretch. Eddie Howe's Newcastle were again on the front foot at the start of the second half but it was West Ham who doubled their lead through Wan-Bissaka. The former Manchester United man scored his first goal for West Ham and just his third career goal after picking up Jarrod Bowen's pass and firing across goalkeeper Nick Pope and into the net in the 53rd minute. Howe brought on Jacob Murphy and Callum Wilson in a bid to turn the tide but Newcastle failed to build up a head of steam against their determined opponents, who saw out the game with relative ease. "The first 60 minutes, albeit we're losing the game 2-0, I think there was a lot of good play from us, we did open them up and had chances to score," said Howe. "Unfortunately goals will always change the perception of everybody but up until that point I was pretty pleased. The last half an hour I didn't like us at all. I thought we lost our way a little bit, became a bit too desperate to score."

Read More Love Island's Mike Boateng reveals he had to wait 'two endless hours' for an ambulance while in 'excruciating pain' in health scare Last year Rosie issued a warning to Adam's now pregnant fiancée Laura Woods about his toxic behaviour and insisted that the sports presenter is 'too good for him.' Rosie who starred on the 2018 series with Adam, 29, told MailOnline that it appeared her former flame hasn't matured, judging by his TV appearance on Celebs Go Dating and return to Love Island in 2022. Charity Women's Aid accused Adam of 'emotional abuse' during his first stint on the ITV2 series after he appeared to 'smirk' when he dumped Rosie for Strictly star Zara McDermott . And after breaking the rules on Celebs Go Dating last year by bedding his co-star Lottie Moss , Rosie feared Adam could still be set in his old ways. The ex-solicitor also expressed her 'shock' after learning the news of Adam's new relationship with sports presenter Laura, 37, who is nine years his senior, and a credible figure in the TV industry. Rosie said: 'I know Laura Woods from watching sports and I always say how well she has done for herself... her career has excelled... it is incredible to see a woman in the sporting world doing so well.

I was told, I don't actually have Adam on social media. 'Adam and I were short lived, and it was five years ago now but when he went back on Love Island the second time, I hoped that he didn't treat the girls the same way that he did with me and Zara McDermott ... I hoped that he went on the show to find love as he said. 'Unfortunately, the same toxic pattern in his behaviour emerged... People like to tell me things and again in Celebs Go Dating, the exact same routine carried through, so he really hasn't changed. His TV appearances speak for themselves!' Rosie said that she is often asked what women see in Adam, who has dated a string of reality stars including Kate Moss's half-sister Lottie and Love Island's Paige Thorne. The Geordie gym owner has also romanced a number of girls that he's met outside of the entertainment industry such as exes Josie Baxter and Claudia Proctor. She added: 'When people question 'why are people falling for him all the time?' I say, 'he is charming and seems really sincere at first'... But I just wonder if he means it this time with Laura because I would hate for somebody else to get hurt by him.'
