The Company faced a significant risk the FDA would not approve the BLA for Deramiocel based on a lack of sufficient evidence of effectiveness. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Capricor, investors suffered damages.

Cleveland-Cliffs Announces $1 Billion Middletown Works Investment to be Supported by $500 Million U.S. Department of Energy Award

Cleveland-Cliffs Announces $1 Billion Middletown Works Investment to be Supported by $500 Million U.S. Department of Energy Award

Cliffs to Host Vice President J.D. Vance and Other Dignitaries at Middletown Works to Commemorate the Investment

CLEVELAND–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE: CLF) (“Cliffs”)today announced that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has established a framework for Cliffs to finalize negotiations and implementation plans for its Middletown Works investment, rescoping the previously awarded $500 million DOE grant. The optimization project represents a $1 billion total investment in Middletown Works, with funding shared equally between Cleveland-Cliffs and the DOE. The investment is expected to be deployed over the next four years as the Company executes on these improvements while maintaining uninterrupted steel production.

Vice President J.D. Vance will visit the Company’s Middletown Works steel plant today in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio, to deliver remarks highlighting the investment and accomplishments of the Trump Administration’s America First economic agenda. U.S. Secretary of Energy Christopher Wright will also participate along with numerous federal and state elected leaders from Ohio.

Middletown Works is Cleveland-Cliffs’ flagship plant to produce automotive-grade steels, particularly suited to exposed parts of cars, trucks and SUVs. The Middletown Works investment includes state-of-the-art upgrades to its blast furnace, advanced material handling infrastructure, and artificial intelligence-enabled process control technologies. A key component of the project is the construction of an advanced cogeneration facility that will capture and utilize blast furnace gas to generate electricity and steam for on-site consumption. This will improve overall energy efficiency, reduce reliance on externally supplied electricity, and lower operating costs. This multi-year investment is expected to commence in the coming weeks, with completion of the blast furnace rebuild planned for the first quarter of 2030.

Lourenco Goncalves, Cliffs’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “Cleveland-Cliffs is making a decisive investment in the future of American steelmaking and manufacturing, going above and beyond a standard blast furnace reline, to include the most advanced technology available. Through our cooperation with President Trump’s Administration and the U.S. Department of Energy, we developed a project reliant on proven technology that improves operational efficiency and competitiveness. The DOE’s support for this project is a testament to the importance of preserving the blast furnace route to produce automotive-exposed grade steels in the U.S., while advancing American energy dominance. We thank President Trump, Vice President Vance, and Secretary Wright for their partnership. This investment strengthens domestic steelmaking, preserves 2,300 jobs and ensures that Middletown Works remains one of the premier steelmaking facilities in North America for decades to come.”

At peak construction, the project will employ more than 1,500 workers including local union building trades. Middletown Works currently produces approximately 3 million tons of raw steel annually. The optimization project will preserve the facility’s steelmaking capacity while substantially improving operational reliability, productivity, energy efficiency, and cost competitiveness.

About Cleveland-Cliffs Inc.

Cleveland-Cliffs is a leading North America-based steel producer with focus on value-added sheet products, particularly for the automotive industry. The Company is vertically integrated from the mining of iron ore, production of pellets and direct reduced iron, and processing of ferrous scrap through primary steelmaking and downstream finishing, stamping, tooling, and tubing.

Walmart is building its network around a simple goal: bring fast, dependable charging to the places customers already shop, at prices they can count on. Walmart EV Chargers are now available at 100 stores across 20 states.

“By expanding EV fast charging at Walmart locations across the country, we’re giving drivers a dependable way to charge while they’re in the store,” said Shayne Wahlmeier, Senior Vice President, Walmart Energy. “Reaching 100 sites is an important milestone, and our broad footprint positions us to make EV charging more accessible for communities while expanding the ways we serve our customers.”

A charging experience built around the customer

Walmart’s network is designed around the customer. Charging stalls are located steps from the store, and the charging experience is integrated into the Walmart app, making it easy for customers to charge while they shop.

Most Walmart EV charging locations feature 8 to 16 fast-charging stalls, with chargers capable of delivering up to 400 kW of power. With both CCS and NACS connectors, the network is compatible with most EVs on the road today, allowing many customers to add meaningful range during a typical shopping trip.

“When a customer pulls into a Walmart to charge, we want the experience to feel as reliable and effortless as the rest of their shopping trip,” said Adam Happel, General Manager, Walmart Retail EV Charging. “We’re proud to reach 100 sites, but our focus remains on building a network customers can count on every time they charge with us.”

Walmart+ members receive discounted charging rates for additional savings. Customers can start and pay for charging sessions through the Walmart app, with additional payment options planned as the network expands.

What’s next

Walmart will continue expanding its network in markets where customers need greater access to convenient, dependable fast charging, working closely with local utilities and partners to bring new sites online. Customers can find current and upcoming EV charging locations on the Walmart EV Charging website and in the Walmart app. Open locations are also available on major mapping platforms including Apple Maps, Google Maps, PlugShare, Chargehub, and Chargeway.

BlueWhale Research Holds Lead Rejection Under 1% Across 45,000 Leads a Month with ZoomInfo

BlueWhale Research Holds Lead Rejection Under 1% Across 45,000 Leads a Month with ZoomInfo

The B2B lead generation firm uses buying signals and verified contact data to reach the managers actually doing the research, not the executives who delegated it.

VANCOUVER, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, has reported that BlueWhale Research, a B2B lead generation firm serving technology companies, delivers more than 45,000 leads a month with a lead rejection rate of less than 1 percent over the past five years, according to the company. The industry standard for third-party lead generation programs runs between 15 and 20 percent.

BlueWhale, an Inc. 5000 company, produces hundreds of thousands of qualified leads a year for major enterprise technology vendors. The hard part of that business is not volume. It is the target list. The company describes the easy path in its market as becoming an order taker, where the client sends over job titles, industries, and company sizes and the vendor simply fills the order.

Order-taking produces top-heavy lists. Clients ask for VPs and the C-suite, but those people delegated the research months ago. The buying committee member actually reading the analyst report is a manager or a researcher nobody put on the list. There is a second problem stacked behind the first. BlueWhale cites an industry statistic that 99 percent of people who agree to receive content have not read it by the time an SDR follows up. A lead can be real and still be worthless if the call opens with a question about a whitepaper the prospect never opened.

BlueWhale built its programs on ZoomInfo data for three reasons. Buying signals show which companies are researching a topic right now, which the company frames as fishing where the fish are, and they regularly surface industries a client’s established ideal customer profile left out entirely. Depth of data lets BlueWhale cross-reference more than 300 attributes against professional and company profiles, so a rep can open on the prospect’s actual situation instead of the whitepaper question. And the underlying record has to hold up: direct-dial numbers that reach a person, valid email addresses, and confirmation the prospect still works there. At more than 45,000 leads a month, a few percentage points of stale contacts is thousands of dead ends, and BlueWhale specializes in call-based campaigns where a wrong number is the entire cost of the touch.

The proof shows up in what clients send back. BlueWhale’s lead rejection rate over the last five years is less than 1 percent, meaning clients returned fewer than 1 in 100 leads as bad, against an industry standard of 15 to 20 percent, according to the company. Customer retention hovers between 85 and 88 percent. The revenue renewal rate runs higher still, into three figures.

BlueWhale’s pitch to clients is a consultative one rather than a transactional one: use the data to widen the target, then work upward. A contact point with an interested manager becomes a conversation with the selection committee above them. Starting that conversation in the buyer’s initial cycle, the company says, is what puts a vendor in the room when the decision is actually made.

About ZoomInfo

ZoomInfo (NASDAQ: GTM), the all-in-one AI GTM platform, enables sales, marketing, and customer success teams to execute their go-to-market strategy with confidence. Powered by the industry’s most comprehensive B2B data, including more than 100 million companies, 500 million contacts, and billions of signals, ZoomInfo delivers the intelligence, automation, and integrations that modern revenue teams need to identify, engage, and convert their best buyers.

(NASDAQ: HTZ) common stock between May 7, 2026 and June 23, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Hertz investors have until September 22, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the purported class in the Hertz class action lawsuit. The complaint in Cameron Schweitzer v.

Appointment as lead plaintiff is not required to partake in any recovery. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

CLASS PERIOD: May 7, 2026 to June 23, 2026

DEADLINE: September 22, 2026

If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

Details of the Case
: Hertz is one of the largest vehicle rental companies in the world, renting cars and light trucks under the Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty, and Firefly brands at more than 11,000 locations in roughly 160 countries. The economics of the business turn on the fleet: Hertz buys hundreds of thousands of vehicles, finances most of them through asset-backed securitizations, and depends on reselling them into the used-car market at prices that hold up. Residual values and depreciation per unit are therefore central to whether the Company is profitable. After emerging from bankruptcy in 2021 and taking large write-downs on an ill-timed bet on electric vehicles, management launched a “Back-to-Basics” turnaround built around fleet discipline and cost control.

The Class Period begins on May 7, 2026, when Hertz announced its first quarter 2026 results, touting its “Strongest Revenue Growth in Three Years,” a 13% year-over-year improvement in Net Depreciation per Unit per Month to $312, and approximately $837 million of liquidity supplemented by roughly $200 million from an April financing. On that day’s earnings call, Hertz’s Chief Financial Officer told investors that the Company expected to end the second quarter with just under $1 billion of liquidity and to end the year “north of $1.5 billion.” The following day, Hertz filed its Form 10-Q, which stated that the Company’s cash, liquidity facilities, and refinancing options would be sufficient to fund its operating activities and obligations for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future thereafter.

According to the complaint, those statements were materially false and misleading because: (i) Hertz’s liquidity was deteriorating far more rapidly than represented, and the Company’s available liquidity was not sufficient to fund its operations and obligations for the next twelve months without resorting to a distressed, dilutive financing; (ii) the softness in the used-car market that defendants had characterized as isolated to the quarter and transitory had in fact recurred and was materially depressing the Company’s net depreciation per unit and Adjusted Corporate EBITDA; and (iii) as a result, Hertz was likely to undertake a dilutive, distressed capital raise that would materially harm existing shareholders.

On June 24, 2026, before the market opened — just weeks after assuring investors that its liquidity would carry the Company for at least twelve months — Hertz announced that a wholly owned indirect subsidiary intended to offer $300 million of Exchangeable Senior First-Lien Secured PIK Notes due 2030, together with a concurrent share-lending offering of more than 37 million shares of common stock from which the Company would receive no proceeds. Hertz simultaneously disclosed that “unexpected softness in the used car market” had caused losses on the sale of vehicles in May 2026 and would drive second quarter Adjusted Corporate EBITDA down to a range of just $50 million to $80 million. On this news, the price of Hertz common stock declined more than 40%, closing at $3.00 per share on June 24, 2026. The next day, the offering priced on still more dilutive terms — upsized to $350 million (up to $400 million) at a 6.75% coupon, with an exchange price of approximately $3.58 per share, and with the borrowed common stock sold to the public at just $2.70 per share.

We encourage investors to contact Brian Schall, David Schwartz, and Adam Rosen of Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP 2049 Century Park East, Suite 2460, Los Angeles, CA 90067, at 310-301-3335, to discuss your rights free of charge.
