THE PARTNERSHIP EXTENDS ACCESS TO FLO, MOEN’S AUTOMATIC WATER SHUTOFF SOLUTION, HELPING PREVENT WATER DAMAGE AND WASTE

NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio
, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Moen, the leader in water experiences in the home, today announced an initiative with Liberty Mutual Insurance to provide its customers with special savings and installation programs on the Moen^® Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff devices. By offering the technology at a discount to homeowners, Moen aims to significantly reduce the risk of water damage claim frequency by as much as 96%¹ and reduce household water wasted through preventable leaks by up to 90%².

“Water damage is costly: It is estimated that insurers pay out over $15 billion in water claim damages annually, many of which are due to water leaks³,” said Jeff Barnes, vice president, affinity partnerships, Moen. “These types of events account for 24% of all homeowner insurance claims⁴. By encouraging the use of Flo smart leak detection, Moen can help insurance companies reduce water damage claims caused by water leaks and alleviate costs associated with those claims.”

Moen will be working with Liberty Mutual to help provide the Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff to policyholders.

Beyond leak detection and shutoff, Flo can help prevent water waste – an increasing concern for Americans. In fact, it is estimated that one trillion gallons of water across the country are wasted due to leaks each year⁵.

The Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff continuously monitors the pressure and flow rate of the water moving through a home’s pipes, detecting leaks as small as a drop per minute anywhere in the home. If the device identifies an issue, it will promptly send an alert through the Moen Smart Water Network App, enabling users to turn off the water, or in the event of a catastrophic leak, it will automatically shut off the water to prevent major damage. Homeowners can also track water usage by fixture and set conservation goals within the app to further support water-saving efforts. 

For additional information about the Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff, visit moen.com/flo.

Headquartered in Houston, Solaris develops equipment used in the oil and gas industry. On July 9, 2024, Solaris announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Mobile Energy Rentals LLC (“MER”). Solaris completed the MER acquisition on September 11, 2024.

On March 17, 2025, investors learned the truth when Morpheus Research published a report alleging that MER had been “a ~$2.5 million revenue equipment leasing business based out of a condo with zero employees, no turbines, and no track record in the mobile turbine rental industry.” The report revealed that one of MER’s co-owners was a convicted felon who was involved in a “$800 million gas turbine scandal… that included allegations of bid rigging [and] corruption.”

On this news, Solaris’ stock price fell $4.15, or nearly 17%, to close at $20.46 per share on March 17, 2025.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.

Berger Montague, with offices in Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Delaware, Washington, D.C., San Diego, San Francisco and Chicago, has been a pioneer in securities class action litigation since its founding in 1970. Berger Montague has represented individual and institutional investors for over five decades and serves as lead counsel in courts throughout the United States.

Nieuw Statendam takes guests to the Mediterranean, Norway, and on a trip above the Arctic Circle for Northern Lights viewing 

SEATTLE
, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Holland America Line announced a six-week extension of its 2026 Europe season and opened bookings for four cruises available as part of the expansion. Guests have further opportunities to explore the Mediterranean and Norway — including a chance to see the Northern Lights on a cruise that enters the Arctic Circle.

Each of the newly added cruises will sail aboard Nieuw Statendam roundtrip or one-way from Rotterdam, one of the premier hubs from which to explore Europe, and Holland America Line’s historic home.

“Cruises rooted in the culture and history of Europe are proving to be popular with our guests, and extending the season means more opportunities to enjoy our personalized service in the region,” said Paul Grigsby, vice president of deployment for Holland America Line. “With 2026 projected to be a peak year for aurora activity, adding a Northern Lights cruise late in the year gives our guests a better opportunity to see this phenomenon with the aid of dark skies and little light pollution.”

Now bookable as part of the expansion is an additional departure of the highly coveted 14-Day Arctic Journey and Northern Lights with The HISTORY Channel cruise, departing on Nov. 7. As 2026 is predicted to be a highly active period for auroras, a growing number of travelers plan to prioritize seeing them on vacation. This cruise offers ample opportunity to see the aurora, while also deeply exploring Norway.

The ship will sail north, calling at Ålesund, Trondheim and crossing the Arctic Circle before reaching Tromsø, known as the “Capital of the Arctic” and base camp for many aurora hunters. The ship then spends an overnight at Alta — often called the world’s Northern Lights capital — before sailing to hard-to-reach Leknes (Lofoten). Before returning to Rotterdam, Nieuw Statendam visits Åndalsnes, Bergen and Lerwick, Scotland.

Guests sailing to see the Northern Lights can sign up to get a wake-up call from the ship any time the aurora borealis is spotted. 

Also open for booking is a 14-Day Mediterranean and Atlantic Treasures: Lisbon Overnight, departing Nov. 21. The cruise explores seven ports in Spain, Portugal and Gibraltar: Cadiz (Seville), Malaga (Granada), Alicante, Cartagena (Murcia), Gibraltar and Leixoes — as well as an overnight in Lisbon, allowing guests to further immerse themselves in the destination. While in Lisbon, guests can book shore excursions taking them to the city’s two UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery. The voyage is also notable as Holland America Line’s first roundtrip exploration of the Mediterranean from Rotterdam in nearly 10 years.

Guests can also book a 7-Day Norway with Nordfjord or 15-Day Cultural Crossing with England and Normandy.

Have It All Early Booking Bonus

For a limited time, when guests book these four European extension cruises with the Have It All premium package, the standard package amenities of shore excursions, specialty dining, a Signature Beverage Package and Surf Wi-Fi are included — plus the added perk of free prepaid crew appreciation, along with free upgrades to the Elite Beverage Package and Premium Wi-Fi.

Guests can also take advantage of Holland America Line’s Exclusive Mariner Society Early Booking Bonus. Mariner Society loyalty members can enjoy up to $400 onboard credit per stateroom when these cruises open for sale. Guests must book these cruises by July 9, 2025, to receive the Exclusive Mariner Society Early Booking Bonus.

NEW YORK
, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds of purchasers of securities of Maravai Lifesciences Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVI) between August 7, 2024 and February 24, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important May 5, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased Maravai 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 Maravai class action, go to  https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=36259 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 May 5, 2025. 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 achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. 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, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Maravai lacked adequate internal controls over financial reporting related to revenue recognition; (2) as a result, Maravai inaccurately recognized revenue on certain transactions during fiscal 2024; (3) its goodwill was overstated; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Maravai’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

To join the Maravai class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=36259 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.

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.
