AVAV Deadline: AVAV Investors Have Opportunity to Lead AeroVironment, Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ —

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) between June 25, 2025 and March 10, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 27, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

So What: If you purchased AeroVironment 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 AeroVironment class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/aerovironment-inc/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 July 27, 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, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) AeroVironment understated the likelihood that it would imminently face competition from other vendors for the work it performed in connection with the U.S. Space Force’s Satellite Communication Augmentation Resources (“SCAR”) program and the U.S. Space Force’s ongoing efforts to modernize the Satellite Control Network (“SCN”); (2) accordingly, defendants overstated AeroVironment’s business and financial prospects; and (3) as a result, defendants’ 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 AeroVironment class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/aerovironment-inc/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] 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.

Fervo Energy Learning Curve Continues on 3rd Generation Well Design, Boosting Drilling Rates by 143% Since Its First Cape Station Well

Sawtooth 7 sets a new drilling pace record, reaching 19,448 feet measured depth with a 7,500-foot lateral in 21 days

HOUSTON, July 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fervo Energy, the leader in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), today announced that it has drilled Sawtooth 7, the ninth well using its 3.0 well design at Cape Station for Phase II, from spud to total depth (TD) in 21 days. Setting a new company record for drilling pace on its most complex well design to date, Sawtooth 7 reached a measured depth of 19,448 feet with a 7,500-foot lateral in a 460 degrees Fahrenheit resource.

In February 2024, Fervo announced that it had drilled its fastest well to date for Cape Station Phase I in just 21 days, representing a 70% reduction in drilling time compared to its first commercial horizontal well at Project Red in 2022. With the completion of Sawtooth 7, the company has achieved the same 70% reduction in drilling time with a well that is substantially deeper, hotter, and longer than the Fervo 2.0 well design used in Cape Phase I. The result reinforces Fervo’s core strategic thesis that incremental learnings will drive meaningful productivity gains and cost reductions over time.

“We have long believed that learning curves would enable Fervo to drill increasingly deeper, accessing higher-temperature rock without meaningfully increasing drilling costs,” said Fervo CEO and co-founder Tim Latimer. “With this momentum from initial Phase II drilling, we expect Fervo’s 3.0 well design to produce substantially more megawatts per well and significantly improve the unit economics of future GeoBlocks™. Based on our performance to date, we believe Cape Phase II is on track to deliver at $5,500 per kilowatt, and we remain firmly committed to our goal of achieving $3,000 per kilowatt.”

Fervo drilled its first commercial well at Project Red in 2022, reaching a depth of 11,220 feet in 70 days using its 1.0 well design. This design utilized 3,250-foot laterals with 5” casing at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cape Phase I, which is fully drilled and on track to deliver first power to the grid later this year, leveraged Fervo’s 2.0 well design, utilizing 5,000-foot laterals with 7” casing at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Sawtooth 7 is the ninth well Fervo has drilled for Cape Phase II—a 400 MW development set to deliver power in 2028—using its 3.0 well design, utilizing 7,500-foot laterals with 8 5/8” casing at 460 degrees Fahrenheit. Longer laterals, larger casing diameters, and higher temperatures are designed to significantly increase power output per well, supporting improved project economics.

Well Design	Representative Well	Measured Depth	Lateral Length	Casing	Temperature	Spud-to-TD
1.0	Project Red — first commercial well	11,220 ft	3,250 ft	5″	350 °F	70 days
2.0	Cape Station Phase I	14,483 ft*	5,000 ft	7″	400 °F	21 days
3.0	Cape Station Phase II — Sawtooth 7	19,448 ft	7,500 ft	8 5/8″	460 °F	21 days
^{*Aggregated average of measured well depth across all Cape Phase I wells.}

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. When used in this press release, the words “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “model,” “outlook,” “plan,” “positioned,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions (including the negative of such terms) are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Although Fervo believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made, they involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and, in many cases, beyond Fervo’s control. Accordingly, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and Fervo’s actual outcomes could differ materially from what Fervo has expressed in its forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause the outcomes to differ materially include (but are not limited to) the following: risks related to expanding our geothermal operations and accessing new markets; challenges in maintaining compliance with extensive environmental regulations and permitting requirements; uncertainties in forecasting future operational results and growth due to economic conditions and market demand; compliance with environmental regulations and climate change initiatives impacting operational costs; inherent risks in the geothermal industry, including potential operational disruptions and associated liabilities; the influence of consumer preferences, government policies, and competition on the demand for geothermal energy; risks associated with fluctuations in energy prices and material costs; dependence on a complex supply chain and successful maintenance of our geothermal infrastructure; financial performance influenced by fluctuations in interest rates, capital availability, and other market conditions; capacity actually constructed or for which we enter power purchase agreements under non-binding agreements, like the Geothermal Framework Agreement; exposure to legal proceedings and claims arising from our business operations; protecting our brand reputation and facing potential negative public perception; negative public perception and political opposition impacting our ability to secure regulatory approvals and market acceptance; the successful and timely execution of our growth strategy, with risks of delays or failures; reliance on key personnel and the potential impact of labor costs and workforce challenges; heavy reliance on technology systems and potential cybersecurity threats; global economic and political conditions affecting our operations, supply chain, and customer demand; the risk that our estimates of capacity potential and heat initially in place are inaccurate or that we are unable to produce quantities of electrical energy commensurate with such estimates; and other risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in Fervo’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2026.

In light of these factors, the events anticipated by Fervo’s forward-looking statements may not occur at the time anticipated or at all. Moreover, Fervo operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. Fervo cannot predict all risks, nor can it assess the impact of all factors on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by any forward-looking statements it may make. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release or, if earlier, as of the date they were made. Fervo does not intend to, and disclaims any obligation to, update or revise any forward-looking statements unless required by applicable law.

The Radoff-JEC Group Issues Letter to Fellow Seer, Inc. Stockholders Correcting the Company’s Blatant Rewriting of History

The Radoff-JEC Group Issues Letter to Fellow Seer, Inc. Stockholders Correcting the Company’s Blatant Rewriting of History

Emphasizes that the Radoff-JEC Group Nominees Possess the Necessary Independence and Transaction Experience to Conduct an Objective Review of Strategic Alternatives to Benefit ALL Stockholders

Reiterates the Need for Stockholders to Elect Truly Independent and Qualified Directors to Evaluate Chairman and CEO Omid Farokhzad, M.D.’s Acquisition Proposal

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Bradley L. Radoff and Michael Torok (together with certain of their affiliates, the “Radoff-JEC Group” or “we”) today issued a letter to stockholders of Seer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEER) (“Seer” or the “Company”) ahead of the Company’s July 28, 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260708418902/en/

Where is Seer’s “continued success”? The stock is down ~97% since IPO, while CEO and Chairman Omid Farokhzad, M.D. is rewarded with millions of dollars by the Board.

The Radoff-JEC Group, which owns approximately 7.7% of Seer’s outstanding common stock, recommends that its fellow stockholders vote “FOR” the election of Howard H. Berman, Ph.D., Joshua S. Horowitz and Luis E. Rinaldini to ensure the Board of Directors (the “Board”) runs an objective strategic review process aimed at maximizing value for ALL Seer stockholders.

***

Fellow Stockholders,

There is a real mismatch between what Seer is now saying and how its management and Board have historically acted. The Company is claiming that Seer has been a “success” and that the directors we are seeking to remove are “critical to Seer’s future.”¹ But stockholders like us know the truth:

Seer has delivered a -97.0% total stockholder return since going public in December 2020.²
Seer has generated cumulative reported losses of more than $465 million since its IPO and virtually zero revenue growth since 2022.³
Seer has burned an average of $51.8 million each year since going public, for a total cash burn of $310.8 million.⁴
Chairman and CEO Omid Farokhzad, M.D.’s strategic plan – which was presented to the Board – states that Seer will not achieve profitability until 2031, which would be 11 years after the Company went public.⁵
Dr. Farokhzad has sold over $103 million worth of Seer shares since the IPO – more than the Company’s current market capitalization.⁶
The Board rewarded Dr. Farokhzad with more than $6 million in average annual pay from 2020 through 2025 – more than half of Seer’s average revenue over the same period, totaling ~$36.5 million in reported compensation.⁷
Despite Seer’s claim that only two of its seven directors are NOT independent (Dr. Farokhzad and Robert Langer, Sc.D.), in reality, we contend that FIVE of the directors are NOT truly independent. Terrance McGuire and Dipchand Nishar have external business relationships with Dr. Farokhzad. Isaac Ro’s employer is a significant investor in Seer’s controlled company PrognomiQ (where he also serves as a director), so his interests and motivations are not aligned with those of Seer stockholders. These issues, and the actions these directors have exhibited to date, raise serious doubts as to their ability to independently and effectively oversee Dr. Farokhzad or objectively evaluate his proposal to acquire Seer.⁸

Seer’s Board Cannot Be Trusted to Evaluate Chairman and CEO Farokhzad’s Acquisition Proposal

The Board’s misleading statements over the past several months have underscored that it is NOT focused on acting in the best interests of ALL stockholders – but only on doing what’s best for itself and Dr. Farokhzad.

Seer’s Egregiously False Claims⁹	The Facts
“Seer has a purpose-built Board of Directors with the expertise needed to guide a category-creating life sciences tools company.”	Seer’s seven-member Board contains Dr. Farokhzad and four directors with whom he has external business relationships. Dr. Farokhzad has not only destroyed value at Seer – he has done the same at Senti Biosciences Holdings, Inc., BIND Therapeutics, Inc., Selecta Biosciences, Inc. and Tarveda Therapeutics, Inc. Directors McGuire and Nishar served on the board of Dr. Farokhzad’s SPAC, which combined with Senti Biosciences Holdings, Inc. in 2022 and has since seen its share price decline by more than 98%.¹⁰ Is the “purpose” of Seer’s Board to be beholden to Dr. Farokhzad and guide the Company to a -97.0% total stockholder return?¹¹
“Their only desire is to strip Seer of its cash.”	We never proposed stripping Seer of its cash. Our three acquisition proposals valued Seer appropriately – it is a microcap business that has consistently burned cash and has underwhelming growth prospects. The cash component of Dr. Farokhzad’s own proposal to acquire Seer is identical to our last offer; yet he does not purport to desire to “strip Seer of its cash.” The Board rejected each of our proposals without engaging with us whatsoever but is now apparently evaluating Dr. Farokhzad’s offer, which we calculate as inferior.
“[T]heir nominees raise serious concerns regarding independence and their ability to act in the best interests of all stockholders.”	Our nominees are independent from us and have no relationships that would impact their ability to act in the best interests of all stockholders. Dr. Farokhzad, on the other hand, is bidding to acquire Seer and has business relationships with four of the six other sitting directors. The Board has repeatedly bashed our acquisition proposals – which it rejected without engaging – yet has not commented on Dr. Farokhzad’s proposal in its letters to stockholders. Seer’s Board has failed time and again to act in the best interests of all stockholders, whether by failing to engage with us on any of our three acquisition proposals, seeking to preserve Dr. Farokhzad’s super-voting rights or adopting an onerous poison pill. How can stockholders trust that Mr. McGuire, Mr. Nishar, Mr. Ro or Dr. Langer will objectively evaluate Dr. Farokhzad’s proposal when they have financial incentives to support whatever Dr. Farokhzad wants?
“Three nominees, one purpose: Sell Seer early.”¹²	The purpose of our nominees, as we have consistently said, is to act in the best interests of all Seer stockholders, including by advocating for a strategic review process that focuses on ways to maximize stockholder value after years of destruction. As Dr. Farokhzad himself said, “Seer should be private.”¹³ The Board is now evaluating his proposal, making its comments about us wanting to sell Seer “early” look disingenuous.

Vote FOR Independent Directors to Support an Objective Strategic Review

We agree with Dr. Farokhzad that Seer should not be a public company. We have submitted three fully financed proposals to acquire Seer for premiums of 33% – 42% to its unaffected share price and a contingent value right that would enable stockholders to further benefit from the disposition of Seer’s assets.

The Board chose to reject all three of these offers outright without engaging with us on ANY of them. Then, Dr. Farokhzad submitted a proposal to acquire Seer, and two days later, the Board quickly formed a Special Committee to evaluate his proposal – though it has not disclosed which directors will serve on the Special Committee.

We are not opposed to someone who is not us buying Seer. We simply believe Seer should be sold to the highest bidder in a transaction that maximizes value for ALL stockholders – not in a conflict-ridden process led by directors who are chummy with one of the bidders and have demonstrated over the past five-plus years that they cannot create value for Seer stockholders.

Voting for Dr. Berman, Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Rinaldini – who are capital allocation and transaction specialists, as the Board itself even admitted¹⁴ – is the only way to ensure the Board conducts an independent and objective evaluation of acquisition proposals with the goal of maximizing value for ALL stockholders.

Sincerely,

Bradley L. Radoff and Michael Torok

FUTU HOLDINGS LIMITED

CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT – COMPLAINT ALLEGATION SUMMARY:

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Futu was not in compliance with the requirements of the CSRC, particularly because the company continued to conduct securities business, public fund sales business, and futures business in mainland China without obtaining the requisite licenses or approval; (2) as a result, Futu was reasonably likely to face regulatory penalties, including the disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and other penalties; (3) consequently, Futu’s financial results were overstated; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Why did Futu’ s Stock Drop?
On May 22, 2026, before the market opened, Reuters published an article reporting that the CSRC, along with seven other government agencies including the central bank, had launched a crackdown aimed at “brokers it accused of illegally moving money to foreign markets” including “overseas firms and their local partners operating without approval.” Specifically, the article reported “online brokers Tiger, Futu and Longbridge would be penalised for soliciting business in China without an onshore licence, the securities regulator said.”

That same day, pre-market, Futu issued a press release disclosing that it had received a notification letter from the CSRC stating that “certain Futu entities in mainland China and Hong Kong . . . without obtaining the requisite licenses or approval, conducted securities business, public fund sales business and futures business in mainland China”, and that the CSRC “proposes to order the Related Companies to rectify or cease such activities, confiscate illegal gains, and impose fines, with the total proposed penalty amounting to approximately RMB1.85 billion (approximately USD271 million).” Further, the regulatory authority “proposes to impose a personal fine of RMB1.25 million (approximately USD 183,575) on Mr. LI Hua, the founder and CEO of the Company.” On this news, Futu’s stock price fell $34.10 per share, or 27.5%, to close at $89.76 per share on May 22, 2026.

Then, on May 28, 2026, before the market opened, Futu issued a press release reporting its financial results for the first quarter of 2026, including the proposed penalties comprised of “(i) confiscation of illegal gains of approximately RMB470 million [approximately $69.21 million USD] and (ii) imposition of fines of approximately RMB1.38 billion [approximately $20 billion USD] in an aggregate amount of approximately RMB1.85 billion.” On this news, Futu’s stock price fell $5.31 per share, or 4.8%, to close at $104.91 per share on May 28, 2026.
