AvePoint Achieves New ISO 27701:2019 Certification as Part of its Commitment to Security and Privacy

Audited against two additional ISO certifications with zero non-conformities for the second year in a row

JERSEY CITY, N.J., July 11, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AvePoint (NASDAQ: AVPT), the most advanced platform to optimize SaaS operations and secure collaboration, today announced certification against, and demonstration of conformance to, the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) information security management system (ISMS) audit using the 27701:2019 framework for the first time, and the 27001:2013, and 27017:2015 frameworks for the second consecutive year. Successfully achieving these three certifications demonstrates AvePoint’s prioritization of security and privacy for both itself and its customers and shows that AvePoint has proper company-wide processes for managing operations, and maintaining people and information assets, information systems, and the associated processes that enable corporate operations.

“AvePoint has a longstanding history of helping organizations safely manage and optimize their digital collaboration data. Continuing to add to our ISO certifications shows we also hold ourselves to the highest privacy and data security standards,” said Dana Simberkoff, Chief Information, Security and Risk Officer, AvePoint. “The auditors for our new ISO certification affirmed that AvePoint’s unwavering focus on privacy and security was apparent in both our evaluations and in the inherent design of our products and services, which has always been our goal.”

ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 161 national standard bodies, credited with publishing more than 2,100 international standards covering almost every industry from technology to food safety to aviation to healthcare. For six years, AvePoint has been audited against ISO 27001:2013, and for two years ISO 27017:2015, both of which are information security management accreditations. The new ISO 27701:2019 certification is in the information privacy management category and represents the evolution of AvePoint as a safe controller of data as opposed to a large processor of data like Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Salesforce and Google. With access to customer and partner data, it is critical to AvePoint that it is only using said data for its intended purposes.

AvePoint’s three ISO certifications add to the company’s overall resiliency strategy and commitment to security for all customers, which includes other accreditations including SOC 2 Type II, CSA STAR, IRAP, FedRAMP and StateRAMP.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may contain forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and include statements regarding, among other things, our projected revenue growth and profitability, our growth strategies and opportunity, anticipated trends in our market and our anticipated needs for working capital. They are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “management believes,” “we believe,” “we intend” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products, market acceptance, future performance, results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, and the outcome. Most of these factors are outside Lucy’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause actual future events to differ materially from the expected results, include, but are not limited to: (i) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the legality of this consumer product , (ii) inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the opportunity, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the company to grow and manage growth profitability, (iii) costs related to the production, (iv) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations of the opportunity, as well as identify and realize additional opportunities, (v) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Lucy following the announcement of the new product line, and (vi) other risks and uncertainties indicated in the filings that are made from time to time with the SEC by Lucy (including those under the “Risk Factors” sections therein).

These statements are based on our management’s expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn are based on currently available information. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.

Tivic Health Establishes Halal Compliance for ClearUP, FDA-Approved, Effective, Drug-Free Alternative for Sinus Pain, Pressure, and Congestion

Tivic Health Establishes Halal Compliance for ClearUP, FDA-Approved, Effective, Drug-Free Alternative for Sinus Pain, Pressure, and Congestion

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tivic Health® Systems, Inc. (“Tivic”, Nasdaq: TIVC), a health tech company that develops and commercializes bioelectronic medicine, today announced that the Company has completed a full internal assessment of its supply chain and has established that its ClearUP product is Halal compliant.

Of all the industries the American Halal Foundation (AHF) serves, there is probably none more critical than the pharmaceutical and supplement industry. From both a practical and principles perspective, the pharmaceutical and supplement industry is critically important to AHF. 1

There is currently a large asymmetry between the supply and demand for Halal pharmaceuticals. Although nearly 1 in every 4 consumers globally adheres to Halal, less than 5% of all pharmaceutical drugs are Halal compliant. 2 As a result, such consumers are often left with very limited options to address their health concerns.

American Halal Foundation indicates that 24% of the global population adheres to Halal and that Halal compliance is the number one influence on a Muslim consumer’s purchasing decision.3 The global Muslim population is a diverse and dynamic group that is spread across the world. As of 2023, it is estimated that there are over 2.01 billion Muslims in the world, making Islam the second-largest religion after Christianity. 4

“Today’s pharmaceuticals for pain and inflammation management lag behind consumer demand for Halal products,” said Jennifer Ernst, CEO of Tivic. “Bioelectronic medicine is a growing market that delivers effective, drug-free alternatives to pharmaceuticals and Tivic is leading the way to deliver solutions to meet the needs of all of our consumers.”

ClearUP’s non-invasive and targeted approach to the treatment of inflammatory chronic health conditions gives consumers a drug-free, ingestion-free, Halal-compliant therapeutic solution. Tivic has verified that its manufacturing and regulatory processes apply the principles of good hygiene practices and are in compliance with the rules of Islamic law. Specifically, Tivic has self-assessed full compliance with Halal requirements and has verified that all the products, product derivatives, components, packaging, and processes in its supply chain meet Halal standards of compliance.

Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

JetBlue Launches New TrueBlue Loyalty Program Today, Offering More Paths to Perks and Mosaic Status

JetBlue Launches New TrueBlue Loyalty Program Today, Offering More Paths to Perks and Mosaic Status

Program Delivers More Value to Customers Across JetBlue’s Entire Suite of Travel Products and Partnerships

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
JetBlue (Nasdaq: JBLU) today launched the new TrueBlue® loyalty program, offering members more value with the introduction of tiles, Perks You Pick™, expanded levels of Mosaic and more ways to earn perks and status than ever before. The program, announced last year, builds on TrueBlue’s award-winning features that customers have come to love while expanding to offer members new opportunities to earn perks and status whether in the air or on the ground. With this reimagined loyalty program, JetBlue has set the bar sky-high as a travel brand with new industry-leading rewards for more customers to earn and enjoy.

“As JetBlue grows, we maintain our commitment to delivering innovative programs and products that provide our customers withgreat service and low fares, which is why we are thrilled to launch the new TrueBlue loyalty program,” said Jayne O’Brien, head of marketing and loyalty, JetBlue. “The new TrueBlue comes at the perfect time as we prepare not only to become a bigger JetBlue, but a travel partner that brightens all aspects of the journey by offering our customers more choices, perks and ways to earn rewards.”

“JetBlue is continuing our legacy of disrupting travel for the better with unique, customer-first programs such as the new TrueBlue,” said Christopher Buckner, vice president of loyalty and partnerships, JetBlue. “The new TrueBlue redefines what it means to be a loyalty program by offering new and exciting perks to more customers, as well as providing more ways to attain perks and status.”

“We’re excited that our travel sites Paisly.com and JetBlue Vacations are fully integrated into the new TrueBlue so that members can rack up rewards along their journey—when booking flights and beyond,” said Andres Barry, president, JetBlue Travel Products. “Moving forward, when a customer books a car rental or activity on Paisly, or a flight + cruise or hotel package with JetBlue Vacations, they will earn TrueBlue points towards their next trip and earn tiles to get them closer to one of their next Perks You Pick.”

Earn Tiles to Build Your Mosaic, Your Way

Tiles are the new way for TrueBlue members to track progress toward Mosaic status while also unlocking valuable perks along the way. With the introduction of tiles, TrueBlue members can turn road trip rentals into an inflight rosé, or that dream vacation into Mosaic status.

One tile is awarded for every $100 in qualifying purchases¹ on JetBlue, JetBlue Vacations®, Paisly® by JetBlue, many JetBlue extras and fees and American Airlines flights. Additionally, one tile is awarded for every $1,000 in eligible spend¹ on all JetBlue credit cards. The more ways customers interact with JetBlue, the more perks they can earn.

More Perks for More Customers

Understanding that no two travelers are alike, the new TrueBlue gives customers the ability to choose the rewards that are most valuable to them. For the first time ever, TrueBlue members will be able to customize their experience with Perks You Pick from a new menu of rewards after reaching only 10 tiles.

For every 10 tiles TrueBlue members earn (until reaching Mosaic status at 50 tiles), they can choose a new perk, including:

  • Early Boarding.

    • Get settled sooner with Group B boarding (excluding Blue Basic fares).

  • Priority Security.

    • Access an expedited lane to security at dozens of airports.2
  • Alcoholic Drink.

    • First beer, wine or liquor is free each flight (21+).

  • JetBlue Vacations Bonus.

    • 2X points bonus on a JetBlue Vacations package (one-time use).3
  • 5,000-Point Bonus.

    • Boost your TrueBlue balance with 5,000 bonus points.

These perks will allow even occasional travelers to enjoy an elevated experience when flying on JetBlue. TrueBlue members can track their tiles on their TrueBlue dashboard starting today, with members receiving tiles for spend from the start of 2023. Any member eligible for Perks You Pick based on their 2023 tile count will have the opportunity to immediately select as many perks as they’re eligible for.

Once a customer earns 50 tiles, they will reach Mosaic 1 status, automatically receive all TrueBlue Perks You Pick and benefit even more from new Mosaic levels and Mosaic Perks You Pick4.

Take Mosaic to the Next Level

Whether they fly it, buy it or drive it, TrueBlue members need only collect 50 tiles to unlock Mosaic—a milestone that’s within reach for more customers whether they’re booking flights, family vacations, or your favorite all-inclusive getaways. The new and expanded Mosaic now contains four levels, each offering Mosaic Signature Perks to enjoy:

And since there are no blackout or expiration dates, it’s just as easy to use them (or share them to friends and family members with Points Pooling).

All TrueBlue members also have an opportunity to boost their points balances with Perks You Pick. A 2x points bonus on JetBlue Vacations (one-time use only) and the 5,000-Point Bonus are available as two of the TrueBlue Perks You Pick while Mosaic members can select the 15,000-Point Bonus as one of their perks.

3. Members selecting the JetBlue Vacations Bonus perk will earn this benefit on the 6 TrueBlue points per eligible dollar spent on airfare and 1 TrueBlue point per eligible dollar spent on hotels, car rentals, cruises, and transfers calculated based on the member’s individual proportionate share, as determined by JetBlue, of a JetBlue Vacations package booking; members selecting this perk will not earn the bonus on any other individual travelers’ portions of the booking. Points bonus does not apply to the Mosaic bonus, any credit card bonus, or any additional bundled points or promotional points. See terms and conditions.

4. Any TrueBlue Perks You Pick that are not selected by the member as they accumulate tiles will automatically be granted upon reaching any level of Mosaic status, but the 5,000 bonus points and the JetBlue Vacations Bonus will not be available to Mosaics who earned status in 2022 for 2023. If a Mosaic qualifies for 2024 and beyond, they are eligible to receive these perks.

5. The $99 Statement Credit on Select JetBlue Cards is available to Barclays JetBlue Plus World Elite Mastercard® and JetBlue Business Mastercard® cardmembers only. You will be eligible to select this perk after reaching Mosaic 1 status. The perk can only be redeemed once per Mosaic qualifying year. If you switch products from Barclays JetBlue Plus Card to the Barclays JetBlue Card, you will no longer be eligible for this perk. The statement credit will appear 2-4 weeks after you select the perk. Your Card Account will not be eligible to receive the statement credit if it is closed or in default under your Cardmember Agreement at the time of fulfillment. Statement credits reduce your Card Account balance but cannot be applied toward any minimum payment requirement and are otherwise subject to the terms and conditions applicable to your Card Account.

Average Annual Total Return on NAV for the 5 Year Period Ending 10/31/2022**

4.37%

 

 

^ Based on the Fund’s NAV as of October 31, 2022.

^^ Cumulative distribution rate is the cumulative amount of distributions paid during the Fund’s fiscal year ending November 30, 2022 based on the Fund’s NAV as of October 31, 2022.

*Cumulative total return is based on the change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions for the period December 1, 2021 through October 31, 2022.

**The 5 year average annual total return is based on change in NAV including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of these distributions and is through the last business day of the month prior to the month of the current distribution record date.

The payment of dividend distributions in accordance with the distribution policy may result in a decrease in the Fund’s net assets. A decrease in the Fund’s net assets may cause an increase in the Fund’s annual operating expenses and a decrease in the Fund’s market price per share to the extent the market price correlates closely to the Fund’s net asset value per share. The distribution policy may also negatively affect the Fund’s investment activities to the extent that the Fund is required to hold larger cash positions than it typically would hold or to the extent that the Fund must liquidate securities that it would not have sold, for the purpose of paying the dividend distribution. The distribution policy may, under certain circumstances, cause the amounts of taxable distributions to exceed the amount minimally required to be distributed under the tax rules, such excess will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent loss carry forwards reduce the required amount of capital gains distributions in that year. The Board of Directors has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the distribution policy at any time. The amendment, suspension or termination of the distribution policy may affect the Fund’s market price per share. Investors should consult their tax advisor regarding federal, state, and local tax considerations that may be applicable in their particular circumstances.

While the NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund’s shares in the open market. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund’s Managed Distribution Plan.

Furthermore, the Board of Directors reviews the amount of any potential distribution and the income, capital gain or capital available. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the Fund’s distribution level, taking into consideration the Fund’s net asset value and the financial market environment. The Fund’s distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Directors at any time. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.

The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. An investment in the Fund involves risks, and the Fund may or may not be able to achieve its investment objective for a variety of reasons. The following summarizes some of the Fund’s risks but does not purport to be a complete listing of all of the risks. Investors should carefully review the Fund’s Prospectus and consult their own advisers.

The Fund is also subject to risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. Industry Concentration and Infrastructure Industry Risk. The Fund will be concentrated in the infrastructure industry, and will be more susceptible to adverse economic or regulatory occurrences affecting that industry than a fund that is not concentrated in a specific industry. Non-U.S. Investment Risk. A majority of the Fund’s investments will be in non-U.S. issuers and a substantial portion of the trades executed for the Fund will take place on foreign exchanges. Investments in securities and instruments of non-U.S. issuers involve certain considerations and risks not ordinarily associated with investments in those of U.S. issuers. Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to non-US investment risk, investments in emerging markets may expose the Fund to heightened risks that may be more volatile than investments in developed markets. Use of Derivatives and Hedging. The Fund may use derivatives and employ a variety of hedging techniques. Derivatives can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses and may have a potentially large impact on the Fund’s performance. Certain of the investment techniques that the Fund may employ for hedging or to increase income or total return will expose the Fund to additional risks. Leverage Risk. The Fund expects to employ leverage as part of its investing strategy. The use of leverage will increase the volatility of the Fund and increase risk to investors. Any difficulty in maintaining the Fund’s leverage could cause a diversion of cash flow and/or require liquidation of some portion of the Fund’s portfolio. Restrictions imposed as a result of any leverage may directly or indirectly inhibit the Fund’s ability to take actions that otherwise may be taken in an unleveraged portfolio of similar assets.

St. Petersburg-Based BayFirst National Bank Welcomes NJ-Based Fintech Leader as Director of Digital Bank Strategy

Michael Yang to Enhance Bank’s Digital Strategy and Spearhead Fintech Collaboration

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Nov. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As part of its ongoing commitment to improving its delivery of both new and traditional financial products and services to individuals and businesses, St. Petersburg-based BayFirst National Bank – the wholly-owned subsidiary of BayFirst Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: BAFN) – has hired NJ-based Fintech leader Michael Yang as director of digital bank strategy. In his new role, Michael will work closely with the bank’s technology team to implement key components of its strategic plan, which include further streamlining the Bank’s operational capabilities, enhancing its digital/mobile delivery of current services, and developing fintech partnerships to drive revenue to current retail and commercial lending divisions.

His specific responsibilities include developing and deploying BayFirst’s technology infrastructure to expand its Fintech products and extend banking services to small businesses, Fintech and other partners looking to provide digital lending services, account management, and payment services to their customers.

Michael previously led strategy across all fintech banking products – including payments, Banking-as-a-Service and SMB Loans – as senior relationship manager at Cross River Bank in New Jersey. His accomplishments include leading the team of relationship managers for marketplace lending and various fintech products and managing top-tier program partners such as Affirm, Rocket Loans and Upstart. Michael’s relationship oversight included strategic planning, product development and launching fintech partners in addition to operational oversight of loan processing, accounting, and data management.

He also previously served as director of deal origination as an early team member at Fundera, (acquired by NerdWallet), an early-stage, high-growth startup, where he generated $1.5 million in revenue through the origination of small business loans, drove business growth opportunities, and developed internal credit and sales programs. Most recently, he served as director of partnerships and operations at mental health startup, Another Wellness Company, in New York where he was responsible for leading partnership opportunities and managing business development and sales strategy.

“Michael has proven experience developing strategic Fintech partnerships and has a deep understanding of the evolving landscape of banking, which will significantly benefit not only BayFirst as a whole but also the customers we support,” said BayFirst SVP, Director of Strategy and Innovation Matthew Nicolosi. “As digital continues to transform our sector, we trust Michael will help develop the innovation and partnerships we need to remain at the forefront, and we look forward to seeing what we can build together to improve the BayFirst banking experience both locally and nationwide.”

“The addition of Michael to our growing team is just the latest in a series of moves designed to further advance BayFirst as a tech-driven organization,” added BayFirst CEO Anthony N. Leo. “At a time when community banks must implement technology to compete in a digital-first era, expanding our team and enhancing our strategy will prove critical to our corporate goals, and we look forward to seeing Michael play a fundamental role in our long-term success.”

Michael holds Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, Finance from Carnegie Mellon University, from where he graduated with honors.

“As I pursued career opportunities with banks that were positioned to capitalize on the future of fintech, I focused on finding an institution committed to two important goals: excelling in small businesses lending and investing in a long-term vision of fintech growth,” stated Yang. “As a top 10 SBA lender nationwide with an executive team that understands the importance of this investment, it was an easy decision to become a part of what’s next at BayFirst.”
