NEW YORK and HONG KONG, July 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Floship, a leading global circular supply chain solutions provider, today announced its participation in The Lead Innovation Summit, a leading strategy conference for global decision-makers and executives in today’s retail and consumer industries. The conference takes place in New York City between 12 & 13 July.

Tsui will share information about Floship, his strategic vision, as well as the company’s transformational ambitions including his thoughts on the future of generative AI in e-commerce to an audience of 2000+ executives from major global brand retailers.

As part of his talk, Tsui will share information about Floship’s holistic circular supply chain ecosystem, illustrating how it connects every core component across the value chain from the manufacturer, warehouse systems, delivery mechanisms, and returns solutions through a wholly integrated platform.

“It is an extremely exciting time here at Floship, and I’m honored that we’re being acknowledged for our disruptive innovations toward the business-to-consumer model. Supply chain circularity and generative AI are extremely important supply chain focus areas for merchants as they work hand-in-hand to minimize the use of raw materials, reduce excessive amounts of discarded waste materials, and automate many manually intensive processes,” said Tsui. “We believe the Lead Innovation Summit provides the necessary backdrop to continue to tell this story to an audience who are cognizant of the need to build more sustainable and intelligent supply chains by leveraging technologies that empower consumers, businesses, and the economy to be more efficient with a leaner amount of resources.”

Circular supply chains involve a company reusing or repurposing waste and customer returns to convert those resources into new or refurbished products, and this strategy is critical in building global partnerships. Floship recently announced one such partnership with FedEx that is designed to provide enhanced fulfillment and logistics services to e-tailers worldwide. The partnership gives FedEx’s e-commerce customers access to Floship’s global network of warehouses and powerful logistics platform’s capabilities to streamline their e-commerce fulfillment operations. At the same time, Floship’s customers will be able to leverage FedEx global networks as well as a full range of FedEx extensive transportation options to optimize their operations.

The Lead Innovation Summit is where 2,000+ leaders from the fashion, beauty, home, consumer & retail innovation communities converge to learn from and connect with scaled brands, digital natives, & technology enablers.

LONDON and BANGKOK, Thailand, July 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aztiq Pharma Partners (“Aztiq”), a private equity company focused on the life sciences sector, and Innobic (Asia) Company Limited (“Innobic”), the life science arm of Thai oil and gas conglomerate PTT Public Company Limited (“PTT”) (collectively, “the shareholders”), today announced the pricing of a sale of 25,095,850 shares of Lotus Pharmaceuticals (1795:TT; “Lotus,” “the company”), a multinational pharmaceutical company, at a price of NT$297 per share.

ROSEN, A GLOBAL AND LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Viatris Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important July 14 Deadline in Securities Class Action – VTRS

NEW YORK, July 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: New York, N.Y., July 1, 2023. Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS) between March 1, 2021 and February 25, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 14, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Viatris common stock 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 Viatris class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=16292 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 July 14, 2023. 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, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Viatris was experiencing significantly more competition in its United States complex generics business than disclosed; (2) Viatris was not able to effectively manage its base business erosion or create a stable revenue base; (3) despite being one of the Company’s only growth drivers, Viatris was actively planning to divest its biosimilars business in order to secure enough cash to let it purportedly meet its phase one goals; (4) Viatris was deviating from the business model it touted through the Class Period and undertaking a significant global reshaping of its business which would undermine its ability to achieve stable revenue growth; (5) Viatris was anticipating less financial growth moving into 2022; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, Viatris’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Viatris class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=16292 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.
