A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 11, 2025. 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. 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 achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. 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, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts, about Enphase’s business and operations. Specifically, defendants systematically overstated Enphase’s ability to maintain its pricing levels and market share for microinverter products in Europe in the face of competition from low-cost, Chinese alternatives. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Lower Power and Waste: Reduced energy consumption significantly compared to traditional HDDs, lowering operational costs, leading to a smaller overall physical footprint, cutting hardware waste and supporting more sustainable data center operations. Executive Insight: "Collaborating with Kioxia allows Pure Storage to bring the full potential of all-flash storage technology to hyperscale environments. Pure has a decade of experience in delivering systems that manage flash for enterprise businesses. Now we're using those innovations, and Kioxia's latest technology, to enable the hyperscalers.

Indian Fashion Icon Rohit Bal Passes Away at 63: A Legacy of Bold Elegance Indian fashion mourns the loss of one of its greatest visionaries, Rohit Bal, who passed away on November 1, 2024, after battling a heart ailment. The celebrated designer died at the age of 63 in a Delhi hospital, just weeks after showcasing his final collection, "Kaaynaat: A Bloom in the Universe," at the FDCI x Lakmé Fashion Week. Born in Srinagar, Rohit Bal studied at Delhi University’s St. Stephen's College before pursuing his passion at the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT). He launched his own label in 1986, quickly rising to prominence in both Indian and international fashion circles. Known for his distinctive love of whites, blacks, off-whites, and golds, as well as his bold motifs and luxurious fabrics, Bal became a defining force in the industry. Referred to as "poetry" by fellow designer Gaurav Gupta, his designs were graced by international stars like Uma Thurman, Pamela Anderson, Cindy Crawford, and Naomi Campbell. Bal’s final runway show, defying conventions as always, featured iconic figures like 1990s supermodel Sheetal Mallar and actress Ananya Panday, with music from legends such as Kate Bush and Madonna. Quincy Jones: The Music Legend Who Redefined Pop and Jazz Quincy Jones, the iconic US musician who revolutionized pop music through his collaborations with Michael Jackson and others, passed away on November 3 at the age of 91. Over a remarkable 65-year career, Jones—known as 'Q'—became a trumpeter, bandleader, arranger, composer, and producer, earning 28 Grammy Awards.

His collaborations weren’t limited to classical legends—he also joined forces with Western stars like The Beatles, Yo-Yo Ma, Charles Lloyd, Mickey Hart, and John McLaughlin. Hussain was a recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan, and Padma Shri. He also won two Grammy Awards with Mickey Hart, and in March 2024, he made history by receiving three Grammys in one night for his work with John McLaughlin’s band 'Shakti' and collaborations with Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer, and Rakesh Chaurasia. Survived by his wife Antonia Minnecola, daughters Anisa and Isabella Qureshi, his brothers Taufiq and Fazal Qureshi, and sister Khurshid Aulia, Hussain’s passing marks the end of an era, but his timeless contributions to music will continue to inspire future generations.

His leadership during India's pivotal economic reforms remains a defining moment in the nation's history. A scholar with degrees from Cambridge and Oxford, Singh was India’s first non-Hindu Prime Minister, taking office in 2004. He is survived by his wife, Gursharan Kaur, and three daughters.

Tributes have poured in from across the world, with leaders such as US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron mourning his loss. Reflecting on Their Legacies As 2024 draws to a close, the passing of these figures has reminded the world of their lasting influence. While their deaths have left an irreplaceable void in their communities and industries, their legacies continue to inspire future generations.
