ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Höegh LNG Partners LP Investors With Losses Over $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important December 27 Deadline in Securities Class Action – HMLP

NEW YORK, Dec. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Höegh LNG Partners LP (NYSE: HMLP) between August 22, 2019 and July 27, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important December 27, 2021 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Höegh securities during the Class Period 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 Höegh class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases-register-2140.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@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 December 27, 2021. 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. 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, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) Höegh LNG Partners LP (the “Partnership”) was facing issues with the PGN FSRU Lampung charter; (2) as a result, the PGN FSRU Lampung charterer would state that it would commence arbitration to declare the charter null and void, and/or to terminate the charter, and/or seek damages; (3) the Partnership would need to find alternative refinancing for its PGN FSRU Lampung credit facility; (4) the PGN FSRU Lampung credit facility matured in September 2021, not October 2021 as previously stated; (5) the Partnership would be forced to accept less favorable refinancing terms with regards to the PGN FSRU Lampung credit facility; (6) Höegh LNG would not extend the revolving credit line to the Partnership past its maturation date; (7) Höegh LNG would reveal that it “will have very limited capacity to extend any additional advances to the Partnership beyond what is currently drawn under the facility”; (8) as a result of the foregoing, the Partnership would essentially end distributions to common units holders; (9) the COVID-19 pandemic was not the sole or root cause of the Partnership’s issues in Indonesia, in 2019, before the pandemic, there were already a very low amount of demand in Indonesia for the Partnership’s gas; (10) the auditing, tax, nor maintenance of PGN FSRU Lampung were not the sole or root cause(s) of the Partnership’s issues in Indonesia; and (11) as a result, defendants’ statements about its 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.

To join the Höegh class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases-register-2140.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@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.

Mid-Term Exams to be Canceled in Islamabad’s Govt Schools

Following a week-long strike, the Federal Government Education Joint Action Committee (FGEJAC) has now decided to postpone the scheduled mid-term examinations in all the public schools and colleges in Islamabad.

The decision was taken during a meeting of the committee on Sunday, and it decided to continue boycotting academic activities in public schools and reschedule the upcoming mid-term examinations until its demands are met.

“The mid-term papers would be rescheduled once the demand of employees of the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) to the government for withdrawal of clause 166 of the ICT Local Government Ordinance is met,” a spokesperson for the teachers’ body explained.

The FGEJAC aims to employ all the available tools to make this strike effective and use social media to convey the demand and vision of the protestors.

The federal government had placed 424 FDE institutions under the Municipal Corporation Islamabad (MCI) through an ordinance last month, under which the appointment of the FDE Director-General will also be made after consulting with the Mayor of Islamabad.

The move did not sit well with the FDE employees who had announced the protest against the ordinance last Tuesday (30 November) at their institutions.

The Chairman of the Committee, Fazal Maula, told the media that “no academic activity will take place in any government educational institution from today, and a complete boycott of classes will be observed”.

Meanwhile, teachers are fearful that the new ordinance will change employees’ statuses and will pave the way for the privatization of the institutions.

Sarfaraz Deletes Cryptic Tweet After Being Ignored for West Indies Series

The series of back-to-back disappointments over not being able to become a regular in the national side again caused former captain, Sarfaraz Ahmed, to upload a cryptic Tweet that was deleted later.

In the tweet, the 34-year-old penned a stanza in Urdu language and shared a collage of pictures in which he can be seen lifting the ICC’s Champions Trophy in 2017.

This isn’t the first time Sarfaraz has taken to Twitter to share such messages. In September last year, he also uploaded a stanza in Urdu after he came under severe criticism for his wicket-keeping errors in the T20I series against England.

In October 2019, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) not only removed Sarfaraz Ahmed from the captaincy of all three formats but also sidelined him from the national side.

Since then, he has featured for the team on a handful of occasions. Although Sarfaraz Ahmed was included in the Pakistan squad for the recently concluded ICC’s T20 World Cup, he never made it to the first XI as wicketkeeper batter, Muhammad Rizwan, kept him on the sidelines thanks to some magnificent performances.

He was included in the T20i squad for the Bangladesh tour and did feature in the third match where he scored 12 runs. He was then omitted from the Test squad against Bangladesh. He has been left out of the squad for the T20I and ODI home series against West Indies as well.

Here is Lahore Qalandars PSL 2022 Schedule

Lahore Qalandars will be determined to put in a much better performance this time around and make it to the playoffs for only the second time in their history. Lahore is the poorest performing franchise in Pakistan Super League (PSL) history, having finished outside the top four in five out of the six PSL seasons.

It is expected that Lahore will change their captain for the seventh edition of PSL with Pakistan’s premier left-arm pacer, Shaheen Afridi, the likely candidate to take the charge in place of Sohail Akhtar. This will be a welcome change for Lahore as it provides them with an opportunity to select a balanced squad in the PSL 2022 draft.

Qalandars will face Multan Sultans in their opening match of the campaign on 29 January at National Stadium Karachi. Their last group stage game will be against Peshawar Zalmi on 21 February at Gaddafi Stadium Lahore. Lahore will face arch-rivals Karachi Kings twice in the PSL group stage, once in Karachi and once in Lahore. The two teams will face off against each other on 30 January and 18 February.
