PLUG DEADLINE: ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Plug Power Inc. Investors With Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important June 12 Deadline in Securities Class Action – PLUG

NEW YORK, June 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG) between August 9, 2022 and March 1, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”) of the important June 12, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Plug Power 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 Plug Power class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=1011 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 June 12, 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: The lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts, about Plug’s business and operations. Specifically, defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that Plug was unable to effectively manage its supply chain and product manufacturing, resulting in reduced revenues and margins, increased inventory levels, and several large deals being delayed until at least 2023, among other issues. As a result, defendants’ statements about Plug Power’s business, operations, prospects, and ability to effectively manage its supply chain and production lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Plug Power class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=1011 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.

Chairman, Pakistan People’s Party and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari expresses deep sorrow and grief over the loss of precious lives in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab

Karachi, June 10, 2023 (PPI-OT): Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has expressed deep sorrow and grief over the loss of precious lives in accidents during heavy rains in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. According to the statement issued by Media Cell Bilawal House, Chairman PPP has urged the relevant authorities to use all possible resources to save the lives of citizens in the areas affected by the storm and torrential rain. He has also issued instructions to the office-bearers and workers of the PPP to cooperate with the administration in the affected areas and fulfill their duty actively in relief activities. “My heart goes out to bereaved families, who lost their loved ones in torrential rain”, he added.

Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari pointed out that because of climate change; the monsoon in Pakistan is now becoming a nightmare. He said that due to climate change, in the last monsoon too, Pakistan had to face a situation like the doomsday before the doomsday, adding that millions of victims were rescued at the government level last year, but a large number of victims are still waiting for assistance. “It would be unfair to put the burden of climate change on developing countries like Pakistan alone. Therefore, the international community should join us in facing the disasters caused by climate change,” he urged.

India battle in pursuit of arduous target in WTC Final

Dubai, June 10, 2023 (PPI-OT): The fourth day of the ICC World Test Championship Final 2023 saw Australia add quick runs in the first half of the day and declare their second innings at 270 for eight. Losing their top three in the chase, India were 164 for three in pursuit of a mammoth target of 444 at the end of day’s play. India went into the morning session with the twin objective of keeping Australia’s scoring rate in check, while also inflicting further damage to their wickets column.

Disciplined bowling ensured that Australia did not run away with their lead in the first hour of play, scoring at 2.35 runs an over. Umesh Yadav also brought success in the form of Marnus Labuschagne (41). He bowled a beautiful delivery that jagged slightly away from Labuschagne’s bat, and the Queensland batter ended up giving an outside edge towards first slip, where Cheteshwar Pujara safely pouched it.

Though India accounted for Cameron Green, who was bowled by Ravindra Jadeja in the second hour, some purposeful batting from Alex Carey ensured that Australia scored at an improved run rate of 3.75 and steadily furthered their grip over the Test. At lunch, the batting side were 201 for the loss of six wickets, with an overall lead of 374 runs.

The second session saw Australia turn up the heat yet further on India’s bowlers. Carey used good support from Mitchell Starc to help Australia’s lead speed past 400. The duo added 93 runs from 120 balls for the seventh wicket, a partnership that featured 13 boundaries. Australia declared after Starc and Pat Cummins fell in quick succession to Mohammed Shami while going for quick runs. Alex Carey, unbeaten on 66, was the highest run-scorer in the third innings as Australia finished at 270 for eight, setting India a target of 444 runs.

The daunting task of chasing this formidable score became even more challenging for Rohit Sharma’s men in context of the ground’s history: Their ask was more than the highest-ever fourth innings total in a Test at The Oval. The above-mentioned total was achived by Srinivas Venkataraghavan’s India in 1979, when they finished at 429 for eight, nine short of their target of 438, in a drawn Test against England.

Like their first outing, openers Rohit and Shubman Gill were proactive at the start of India’s innings. The batters unfurled a series of attractive punches, pulls and drives to help India go at nearly run-a-ball for the first seven overs. Australia had their first success when Gill edged a Scott Boland delivery to Green in the Gully region, and the all-rounder grasped it just before the ball touched the ground. India walked back at 41 for one at the end of the second session. Despite this setback, India did not alter their approach at the start of the third session. Rohit and Pujara punished any loose delivery from the bowlers and kept the run rate close to four for the first hour.

Just like in the first innings, the introduction of off-spinner Nathan Lyon brought a breakthrough for Australia. Rohit was trapped lbw when he tried to go for a sweep in Lyon’s very first over and ended up missing one, which straightened and hit the pads. In the next over, Pujara fell when he tried to uppercut a Cummins bouncer and got a toe edge, which deflected, to Carey’s gloves. The repair job fell to Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane. The experienced duo helped rebuild the India innings with a confident 71-run stand for the fourth wicket. Kohli was not afraid to go for his shots from the very start, whereas Rahane focused on holding the other end. With all results possible, play will start at 10h30 local time on Sunday morning.

Over 75% pharmacies are without qualified pharmacists in Pakistan; Indus Hospital and Health Network signs MoU with PharmEvo for establishing ‘Ibne Sina College of Pharmacy’

Karachi, June 10, 2023 (PPI-OT): Over 75% of pharmacies in Pakistan are without trained qualified pharmacists to dispense medical prescriptions, only about 15% of qualified pharmacists are engaged in community pharmacy said on Saturday by Dr. Syed Zafar Zaidi, CEO, Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN), and Dean-Indus University of Health Sciences (IUHS). He further mentioned that as a result pharmacy workforce in Pakistan is decades behind their counterparts in the developed world. It is partly due to the reluctance of doctors to engage pharmacists in providing direct healthcare service, unawareness in patients that they can consult pharmacists and many other factors”, Dr. Syed Zafar Zaidi said while speaking at a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Signing Ceremony between Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN) and local pharmaceutical firm PharmEvo.

Under the MoU signed between the two organizations, PharmEvo is providing both, financial and technical resources for the construction of the upcoming ‘Ibne Sina College of Pharmacy’, Indus University of Health Sciences at the New Hospital Building in Korangi, Karachi. Dr. Syed Zafar Zaidi, CEO, IHHN and Dean-Indus University of Health Sciences went on to brief the audience on the acute challenges of Pharmacy education in Pakistan and maintained that limited interaction between doctors and pharmacists; lack of industry experience and a dearth of job opportunities in pharmaceutical care services were among some other issues faced by the pharmacists’ community in Pakistan. “In these circumstances, we believe that Ibne Sina College of Pharmacy will pursue an aim to be a college of international standard and stature by implementing a world-class curriculum, instilling compassion in its students, creating linkages between academia and industry, fostering collaborative learning and offering a model of experiential learning”, he maintained.

President IHHN, Dr. Abdul Bari Khan, acknowledged PharmEvo’s remarkable support towards the Ibne Sina College of Pharmacy, commenting that PharmEvo’s generosity clearly demonstrates the priority and value they place in laying the foundation of an excellent university in Pakistan, which will nurture the next generation of healthcare leaders, particularly in the field of pharmacy. “IHHN takes pride in partnering with PharmEvo and we look forward to working with them for our united vision of high-quality education to address the human capital challenges in Pakistan”, he said, adding that they were thrilled to enter into a partnership with its most formidable partner, PharmEvo, for the development of excellent pharmacists. “We pray that our partnership with PharmEvo continues to reinforce our noble mission”, he hoped.

Chairman Premier Group, Mr. Ebrahim Qasim appreciated IHHN and Indus University of Health Sciences for championing the excellent health education in Pakistan particularly for pharmacists. “The pressing need for skilled and talented pharmacists in Pakistan’s fragile healthcare infrastructure cannot be overstated. Our society is in dire need of healthcare professionals who can make a tangible impact on the well-being of our people. “We are striving for the creation of a healthier society through industry academia collaboration, which is the need of the moment for the country”. Mr. Ebrahim Qassim said that PharmEvo is known in pharmaceutical industry as a pioneer in socially responsible organization. Our values of respect, trust, integrity, ethics and excellence are completely aligned with those of IHHN and the organization’s compassion has shone through its remarkable commitment towards constructing the Ibne Sina College of Pharmacy.

At the ceremony held on Saturday, June 10, 2023 at the Indus Hospital, Korangi Campus, other key members of PharmEvo management attended including Mr. Muhammad Haroon Qassim, Managing Director, PharmEvo, and Mr. Syed Jamshed Ahmed, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, PharmEvo.
