LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Rapta®, a company transforming precision manufacturing through AI-powered quality assurance and process intelligence, today announced the closing of an $8 million funding round. The round was co-led by Voyager Capital and Access Venture Partners, with participation from DeepWork Capital, LongKnife, Elevate Capital, Ringbolt Capital, Portland Seed Fund, BVC, and other existing investors.

The investment will accelerate deployment of Rapta's Manufacturing Intelligence Platform across defense, aerospace, and other high-precision production environments.

As part of the financing, Diane Fraiman, Managing Director at Voyager Capital, and Kirk Holland, Managing Director at Access Venture Partners, have joined Rapta's Board of Directors.

"The biggest hurdle to optimizing manufacturing operations isn't ambition - it's proprietary, siloed data architectures that scatter production data across systems and make harmonizing processes, scaling, or integrating new technology far harder than it should be," said Aaron Brown, CEO of Rapta. "Rapta unifies that data into a single, traceable production record so manufacturers can modernize without re-platforming. Diane and Kirk join us at a critical moment in that work, and their experience will help ensure we deliver on our commitment to transform manufacturing in a dramatically changing marketplace."

Trusted by five of the top ten U.S. defense primes, Rapta builds computer vision and manufacturing intelligence technology that helps keep America's most critical production lines operating efficiently and reliably.

"Manufacturing has lagged in automation, but robotics, AI/ML, and computer vision are now delivering on the assembly line at scale. By targeting quality - a leading cause of delays and cost overruns - Rapta delivers immediate ROI," said Diane Fraiman. "The company's strong growth, experienced team, and ability to deliver measurable value in complex manufacturing environments give us tremendous confidence in its potential. We are excited to support Rapta as it expands its platform and helps strengthen the future of American manufacturing."

Rapta helps these manufacturers scale production while improving quality, traceability, and workforce performance. Legacy data architectures and proprietary controls limit the automation and agile, modular processes that manufacturers need to meet modern production demands.

For high-precision manufacturers and industries with strict compliance requirements, process traceability is critical. Rapta automates the tracking of parts, process steps, tools, operators, and quality evidence while connecting traceability across production lines. This approach reduces manual documentation, limits human error, and replaces fragmented tracing procedures with a unified production record.

"Rapta provides work instructions and quality verification, in real time as the work happens, to error-proof the manufacturing process. We contextualize data across IT and OT systems to provide complete execution visibility, traceable build intelligence, and real-time decision making," said Matthew Thornton, Co-Founder and CMO of Rapta.

"As a leading Tier 2 manufacturer of RF microwave and antenna solutions for mission-critical defense programs, TRAK TECOM knows that manufacturing excellence is built on precision, technical expertise, and uncompromising quality," said Carole Hutchins, President of TRAK TECOM. "Rapta provides our teams with real-time visibility throughout the manufacturing process, helping us capture critical manufacturing knowledge and make it readily available across our organization. That allows our employees to complete complex builds more efficiently, shortens the learning curve for new team members, and strengthens first-pass quality. The result is greater operational efficiency, increased manufacturing confidence, and a trusted digital record that supports our customers and supply chain."

About Rapta

Rapta helps aerospace, defense, space, electronics, advanced manufacturing, and sustainment organizations improve production readiness, quality, traceability, and workforce performance. Its Manufacturing Intelligence Platform delivers real-time guidance, verification, and operational decision support where work happens, helping manufacturers accelerate ramp-rates, expand capacity, standardize expert workforce performance, and generate trusted evidence for qualification, certification, and audit requirements. Rapta deploys on premises within the customer's existing network, keeping production data on the customer's infrastructure.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP reminds investors that a class action was filed on behalf of persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTS) securities between March 4, 2025 and July 15, 2026, inclusive (the Class Period). AST, together with its subsidiaries, designs and develops the constellation of BlueBird ("BB") satellites in the U.S. The Company provides a cellular broadband network in space for direct access by smartphones for commercial use and other applications, as well as for government use.

The complaint alleges that AST misled investors regarding its competitive position in the satellite D2C market.

Investors who suffered significant losses during the Class Period may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit and should contact Robbins LLP for information prior to the November 13, 2026, lead plaintiff deadline.

Why Was AST Sued?

Plaintiff alleges that defendants touted AST's purportedly unique competitive advantages and leadership position in the satellite direct-to-cellular ("D2C") market. Defendants' assurances regarding AST's purportedly durable competitive position in the satellite D2C market came into question in September 2025, when EchoStar Corporation ("EchoStar") announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement with SpaceX to sell its AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses (the "EchoStar Transaction"). In connection with the EchoStar Transaction, SpaceX and EchoStar agreed to enter into a long-term commercial agreement, enabling EchoStar's Boost Mobile subscribers—through its cloud-native 5G core—to access SpaceX's next generation D2C service provided by its telecommunications subsidiary Starlink Services, LLC.

Following the EchoStar Transaction, however, defendants continued to assure investors and the market that AST remained in a competitive class of its own, with the Company poised to realize significant revenues and profits in the near-term. Likewise, defendants continuously represented that AST's capital and liquidity position was sufficient to meet its strategic and business goals at all relevant times, notwithstanding the heightened competitive pressures it faced following the EchoStar Transaction.

According to the complaint, during the Class Period, defendants failed to disclose that:

- AST's increasing capital requirements were likely to increase the Company's debt load and share dilution with greater frequency and at greater scale than defendants had signaled to investors;

- accordingly, defendants had overstated the sufficiency of AST's capital and liquidity position to achieve its strategic and business goals;

- defendants likewise overstated the durability of AST's competitive position in the satellite D2C market;

- even following the EchoStar Transaction, defendants continued overstating AST's competitive position in the satellite D2C market;

- AST was experiencing slow user adoption in the U.S. and Japan;

- the foregoing was likely to have a significant negative impact on the Company's business and financial prospects; and

- as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Why Did AST's Stock Drop?

Between September 8, 2025 and July 15, 2026, a series of stock downgrades and company disclosures caused AST's stock to fall significantly.

Specifically, on October 21, 2025, AST announced "its intent to offer . . . $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2036 (the 'Notes') in a private offering", and that it "intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes . . . an option to purchase . . . up to an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes." AST was to use the proceeds from this offering "for general corporate purposes, including without limitation funding the deployment of AST SpaceMobile's worldwide constellation of satellites in anticipation of adding incremental strategic markets for its SpaceMobile Service." Later the same day, AST increased the offering to $1.0 billion. On this news, AST's Class A common stock price fell $7.26 per share, or 9.24%, to close at $71.35 per share on October 22, 2025.

On February 11, 2026, AST announced its "intent to offer . . . $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2036 (the 'Notes') in a private offering", and that it "intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes . . . an option to purchase . . . up to an additional $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes." The next day, AST announced the pricing of the foregoing offering at "an initial conversion price of approximately $116.30 per share of AST SpaceMobile's Class A common stock, which represents a premium of approximately 20% to the last reported sale price of AST SpaceMobile's Class A common stock on February 11, 2026." Following these disclosures, AST's Class A common stock price fell $14.70 per share, or 15.17%, to close at $82.22 per share on February 12, 2026.

Finally, on July 15, 2026, AST announced "its intent to offer" another "$1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2034 (the 'Notes') in a private offering", and that it "intends to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes . . . an option to purchase . . . up to an additional $150 million aggregate principal amount of Notes." Later the same day, AST announced the pricing of the foregoing offering. Specifically, "$1.0 billion 1.625% convertible senior notes due 2034 . . . [at] an initial conversion price of approximately $79.57 per share of AST SpaceMobile's Class A common stock, which represents a premium of approximately 20.0% over the last reported sale price of AST SpaceMobile's Class A common stock on July 15, 2026", as well as "[c]apped call transactions . . . [at] an initial cap price of $149.20 per share of AST SpaceMobile's Class A common stock, which represents a premium of 125.0% over the last reported sale price of AST SpaceMobile's Class A common stock on July 15, 2026." Following these disclosures, AST's Class A common stock price fell $11.30 per share, or 17.04%, to close at $55.01 per share on July 16, 2026.

Who May Be Eligible to Participate in the AST Class Action?

The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired AST SpaceMobile, Inc. securities between March 4, 2025 and July 15, 2026. Investors who suffered losses during that period may have legal rights under the federal securities laws.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds investors that a securities class action has been filed on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Hyliion Holdings Corp. (NYSE: HYLN) securities between May 12, 2026 and June 23 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Hyliion is a power generator company whose primary product is the KARNQ Power Module.

The complaint alleges that Hyliion misled investors regarding the viability of its partnership with VFH Holdings LLC.

Investors who suffered significant losses during the Class Period may be eligible to participate in the lawsuit and should contact Robbins LLP for information about becoming lead plaintiff before the October 27, 2026, lead plaintiff deadline.

Listen to our podcast.

Why Was Hyliion Sued?

According to the complaint, on May 12, 2026, Hyliion announced a partnership with VFG Holdings LLC by means of a letter of intent ("LOI") to provide power modules to support data center applications. After this announcement, Hyliion's stock appreciated over the next several days. Plaintiff contends that on May 19, 2026, defendants sold significant amounts of Hyliion stock.

Plaintiff alleges that during the class period defendants failed to disclose that:

- to cause rapid price appreciation in Hyliion stock, defendants announced a deal with an entity that was very recently formed and does not appear to have any actual business operations;

- the individual defendants timed the announcement and foregoing price appreciation to insider trade; and

- as a result, defendants' statements about Hyliion's business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Why Did Hyliion's Stock Drop?

Hyliion stock dropped 16% on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, following the release of a short-seller report from Pelican Way Research that questioned the legitimacy of the agreement with VFG because VFG was incorporated in January 2026, appeared to have only four LinkedIn employees, had a minimal website, and lacked evidence of funding or operating substance sufficient to support an order of that size. Pelican Way also questioned the legitimacy of Jason Green, co-founder and CEO of VFG, and his ability to raise the money needed to pay Hyliion. As the market absorbed the news, the stock declined another 19% to close at $4.92 per share on June 24, 2026.

Who May Be Eligible to Participate in the Hyliion Class Action?

The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Hyliion Holdings Corp. securities between May 12, 2026 and June 23 2026. Investors who suffered losses during that period may have legal rights under the federal securities laws.

What Is a Lead Plaintiff?

The lead plaintiff is a court-appointed investor who represents the interests of all class members throughout the litigation. Serving as lead plaintiff is not required to share in any potential recovery. Investors who do not seek appointment may remain absent class members if the case proceeds and later resolves successfully.

Shareholders who wish to seek appointment as lead plaintiff should contact Robbins LLP before the October 27, 2026 deadline.

No. Robbins LLP represents investors on a contingency fee basis.

ONTARIO, Calif., Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second year in a row, Ontario International Airport (ONT) ranks No. 2 among all medium-sized airports in the JD Power 2026 North America Airport Satisfaction StudySM.

ONT earned a customer satisfaction score of 705 – just seven points behind the top-ranked position.

Importantly, ONT ranked No. 1 in two key categories: Arrival/From Airport Experience and "level of trust."

"Being ranked No. 2 among North America's medium-sized airports for the second consecutive year is a tremendous achievement, but what I'm most proud of is what sits behind that ranking," said Atif Elkadi, Chief Executive Officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA). "Passengers are telling us they trust ONT, they value the experience we provide and they feel the difference when they travel through our airport. Ranking No. 1 in both passenger experience upon arrival and level of trust speaks volumes about our people and the culture we have built here."

"Recognition like this doesn't happen by accident, and sustaining it year after year is even harder. It is the result of thousands of interactions every day and the collective commitment of our employees, airline and business partners, stakeholders and Board to create an airport experience worthy of the communities we serve. Everyone who is part of the ONT family should take tremendous pride in what we have accomplished together."

The JD Power study measures passenger satisfaction across seven key dimensions, including ease of travel through airport, terminal facilities, airport staff, and the food, beverage and retail experience. ONT's back-to-back second-place rankings underscore the airport's commitment to its growing customer base. Passenger volumes have risen 75% since the airport's return to local ownership in 2016, and ONT is on track to serve more than 7 million travelers this year.

Elkadi said the recognition is particularly meaningful as ONT approaches a decade under local ownership and prepares for its next era of growth.

"Over the past decade, we have worked to build an airport that Southern California can truly call its own, one that is easy to use, welcoming, innovative and deeply connected to the region it serves. As ONT continues to grow and we move forward with the next generation of our airport, we are determined to protect what makes this place special. More passengers, more destinations and new facilities should never come at the expense of the experience our customers have come to expect.

"We're incredibly proud to be No. 2 again. But we're not building ONT to be second best. Our aspiration remains clear: to deliver the best airport experience in North America."

About Ontario International Airport

Ontario International Airport (ONT) serves more than 7 million passengers per year and offers nonstop service to two dozen major airports in the U.S., Mexico, Central America and Taiwan. ONT is owned and operated by the Ontario International Airport Authority, a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Ontario and the San Bernardino County. More information is available at flyOntario.com.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, released its 2026 Congressional Report Card, grading sitting U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators on key legislation that is of critical importance to the firearm industry, the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens and America's hunters and recreational target shooters. Five Members of Congress were not graded due to special elections to fill vacancies, resulting in the new Members having an insufficient voting and co-sponsorship record for grading.

"This report card will be critical for voters to do their research as we head into the final stretch towards the November elections just seven weeks from now. NSSF's 2026 Congressional Report Card tells voters exactly where their lawmakers stand on issues including defending the firearm industry's ability to engage in the lawful commerce of firearms and ammunition and safeguarding the Second Amendment rights of customers, as well as promoting hunting and recreational target shooting – America's greatest outdoor pastimes," said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. "This nonpartisan report card reflects the level of support of each lawmaker on firearm industry priority legislation during the 119th Congress, between 2025 and 2026. These grades indicate their public voting record as well as their sponsorship and co-sponsorship of key legislation, their work on committees, letters signed to support firearm industry issues and their overall leadership in championing our industry."

NSSF awarded 14 U.S. Senators and 71 U.S. Representatives the NSSF distinction of being named to the "Dean's List." To earn this special recognition, members needed to have a 100-percent voting and co-sponsorship record. Additionally, 13 Senators and 41 U.S. Representatives earned the rating of "A+."

Grades are meant to analyze the level of support of each lawmaker during the 119th Congress and do not constitute an endorsement of or opposition to a representative's or senator's candidacy. The entire report, including the list of key legislation that comprised the scores, is available here.

About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen's organizations and publishers nationwide.

Sutton (formerly Digit) targets the spreadsheet workaround with a build-your-own tool for operations teams

New Sutton Studio lets shop-floor and operations staff create tools on live production data without a development queue

ATLANTA, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Every operation has questions its software can't answer - a bespoke quality check, an unusual way of batching jobs, a report shaped around one plant's process. Manufacturers and distributors have long handled those gaps the same few ways: change the process to fit the software, pay for customization, wait for the vendor to build it, or keep the work in spreadsheets that live outside the system of record.

Sutton, the ERP and operations platform formerly known as Digit, is aiming squarely at that gap. Alongside a rename to Sutton (heysutton.com), the company has launched Sutton Studio, which lets an operator describe a tool they need and have it built on their live operational data inside the existing system. The company says accounts, data and functionality carry over from Digit unchanged.

Sutton's core modules cover inventory management, manufacturing and MRP, production scheduling, purchasing, order management, warehouse and shop-floor operations, multi-location inventory, traceability, bills of materials and fulfillment, with integrations to ecommerce, accounting and business systems. Studio sits alongside that functionality rather than replacing any of it. Early builds cited by the company include production-floor dashboards, delivery boards split by fulfillment source, supplier scorecards, receiving inspection forms and yield trackers.

"I type out my problem, summarize what I'd like to see, and everything is created for me. It's like an engineer building a custom app for you in a couple of minutes," said Andrew Pedersen of Pac Basic, an early user.

The company frames the approach as software adapting to the operation rather than the operation adapting to the software — closing the gap between identifying a requirement and having software that supports it. "Instead, we built the layer an operator can create and edit themselves, using their business's data and workflows within Sutton," said Dan Koukol, co-founder and CEO, who ran a plastic injection molding company before founding the business.

For operations that move physical inventory and schedule production, the reportable questions are reliability and control: how changes to live data are governed, and what review, permissions and audit trail sit behind a tool an operator builds.

About Sutton

Sutton, formerly Digit, is an ERP and operations platform used by manufacturers and distributors to run inventory, production, purchasing, fulfillment and sales in one system. Sutton Studio lets operators build custom tools on their live operational data by describing what they need. Founded in 2021 by Dan Koukol, Simon Kronenberg and Alena Dagneau, Sutton serves customers across North America and Europe.

MIAMI, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Armor Health (ArmorHealthcare.com), a national provider of correctional healthcare, is expanding its distinct, structured approach to addressing postpartum depression (PPD) among women in correctional settings, where postpartum patients face heightened vulnerability and increased mental-health risks.

Armor's approach is designed around four core principles: early screening, prevention, structured treatment, and evidence-based clinical guidelines. The goal is to identify postpartum depression early, provide consistent intervention, and help ensure continuity of care from custody to community.

The approach was presented by Armor Health clinicians Jared Washington, LPC, and Atrews Bell, LPC, at the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare (NCCHC) Conference in June 2025 as part of From Custody to Community: Postpartum Mental Health Seminar. The presentation focused on the importance of addressing both the physical and mental-health needs of postpartum patients, the heightened risk of postpartum depression among incarcerated women, and policies designed to improve postpartum care and reintegration.

"Postpartum depression is real, common, and treatable—and early intervention matters," said Armor's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jimmy Fernandez. "Our responsibility is to recognize the unique needs of postpartum patients in custody and provide a structured clinical pathway that supports them throughout their time in our care and as they prepare to return to the community."

Armor's postpartum mental-health framework emphasizes increased monitoring during the critical first four weeks following childbirth. The workflow includes daily rounds by psychiatric technicians, weekly check-ins with behavioral-health professionals, and PHQ-9 screenings. From months two through twelve postpartum, the approach continues with weekly psychiatric-technician rounds, monthly behavioral-health check-ins, and treatment-plan adjustments when clinically appropriate.

The program also emphasizes prevention and continuity of care. Discharge planning begins approximately three months before release and addresses critical factors including housing, mental health, parenting, custody, medication management, and connections to community resources.

For patients experiencing severe postpartum depression or a mental-health crisis, Armor's framework calls for immediate intervention, 24/7 mental-health access, and avoiding isolation unless clinically necessary.

Armor also recognizes that effective postpartum care requires more than clinical treatment. Annual staff training, consistent documentation, regular progress reviews, quarterly policy evaluation, feedback collection, and data-driven updates are incorporated into the overall framework.

"We believe the inclusion of these additional services for mothers to our holistic and comprehensive health care approach for incarcerated women, addresses a critical need supporting the mother during incarceration and for continuity of care for the mother and their child post release," added Armor Health CEO, Otto Campo.

About Armor Health - Armor Health is a leading provider of correctional healthcare services providing quality care to local correctional facilities across the country for more than 22 years. Every day, Armor provides evidence-based medical and mental health services revolutionizing the healthcare landscape utilizing its proprietary Insights Analytics, risk scoring, and predictive modeling.

Joint Venture Consolidates CRM, Planning, Portfolio, Tax and Reporting into One System of Record and One View of Every Client

NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verapath and GenTrust today announced a joint venture and the general availability of VIRA, an AI-native wealth management platform that consolidates the fragmented collection of traditional wealth stack applications used by wealth advisors. By embedding AI throughout one internally consistent platform, VIRA gives firms the ability to operate more efficiently, make better decisions and deliver a superior client experience.

Advisory firms today typically run on a wealth stack of point solutions — a separate CRM, portfolio accounting system, performance reporting tool, rebalancer, tax-loss harvesting engine and data warehouse — each with its own data model, integration burden and vendor relationship. The result is duplicated data entry, reconciliation work that consumes operations staff, and a client picture assembled by hand from multiple systems.

VIRA unifies those capabilities into a single, intelligent operating system. Because the platform was designed AI-native rather than retrofitted, intelligence runs through every workflow instead of sitting beside it as an add-on: data flows through one system of record, routine operational work is automated, and advisors get a complete view of every client in one place.

"This joint venture is the next step not only for Verapath, but for the wealth management industry," said Alec Crawford, CEO of Verapath. "Our AI-native platform is built for everyone at an RIA, not only financial advisors, and it improves the client experience as much as it transforms the advisor's. When you see 'Powered by Verapath,' you know you can trust us to deliver the quality, safety, governance and regulatory compliance you need to take your business into the future."

"We are humbled to introduce VIRA to the world: the first AI-native, all-in-one wealthtech platform built inside an advisory firm for the way advisors actually work," said Jim Besaw, CIO of GenTrust. "GenTrust has run its own advisory business on VIRA's predecessor for the past decade, making the platform both purpose-built and battle-tested — and putting an end to the days of stitching together a multitude of systems that don't talk to one another. Our partnership with Verapath, the industry leader in AI governance and security, has taken VIRA to an entirely new level. Security has always been advisors' number one priority, and with VIRA they can own and control their client data within a secure system tailored to their needs."

VIRA is available now to RIAs and wealth management firms. To request a demo, visit virawealth.ai.

Founded in 2023, Verapath is a private, custom AI infrastructure platform for regulated financial institutions built by Artificial Intelligence Risk, Inc.

What to do next: To join the Wise Group plc class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/wise-group-plc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] 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 September 29, 2026. 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 handle 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 billions 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 false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) in order to have a successful debut on the NASDAQ, defendants materially understated Wise's regulatory risks as a result of its materially deficient anti-money laundering efforts, as well as insufficient efforts to prevent the financing of terrorism; and (2) as a result, defendants' statements about Wise's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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.
