Ameris Bank Distributes More Than $1 Million in Grants to Support Heirs’ Property Work

Ameris Bank Distributes More Than $1 Million in Grants to Support Heirs’ Property Work

Grants made available by Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Ameris Bank, a member of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLBank Atlanta), is distributing more than $1,142,000 in grants among three organizations to support work that addresses challenges of heirs’ property:

  • $450,000 to Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Jacksonville (Florida)
  • $442,404 to Legal Services of North Florida
  • $250,000 to Invest Atlanta (Georgia)

The grants are made available from FHLBank Atlanta’s 2024 Heirs’ Property Family Wealth Protection Fund. FHLBank Atlanta is awarding a total of $5.9 million through member banks in its district to 21 organizations actively addressing heirs’ property issues. The work by LISC Jacksonville, Legal Services of North Florida and Invest Atlanta will help families avoid involuntary loss of property, resolve tangled title issues, and promote long-term stability through clear and secure homeownership.

“Our Fund is addressing a significant homeownership problem. Heirs’ property issues occur when land or homes are inherited by an owner’s descendants without a will, estate plan, or court document and/or without a clear title and deed to the property,” said Kirk Malmberg, president and CEO of FHLBank Atlanta. “Without proper paperwork, a property’s condition and value are much harder to maintain, and families may be excluded from accessing home equity loans, tax rebates, homestead exemptions, and disaster recovery assistance.”

Ameris Bank Director of Community Lending Clyde Anderson said, “We are pleased that our applications for these three organizations were selected to participate in this worthwhile program. The grants will help families hold on to what they’ve earned and pass it on to the next generation. Clear and stable property ownership is essential to long-term economic mobility and generational wealth.”

A 2024 Harris Poll by FHLBank Atlanta found that most homeowners (90%) expect the equity in their home to benefit their heirs, yet more than 4 in 10 (43%) do not have a will/trust or estate plan. Further, the survey showed that about 1 in 5 homeowners did not have, or were not sure they have, a clear title (22%) or recorded deed (20%). These factors can exacerbate problems of passing on home equity to build generational wealth among families.

Ameris Bank, a subsidiary of Ameris Bancorp (NYSE: ABCB), is a state-chartered bank headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Ameris operates 164 financial centers across the Southeast and serves consumer and business customers nationwide through select lending channels.

CIVI CLASS ACTION: Civitas Resources, Inc. Investors are Notified the Company is being Sued for Securities Fraud — Contact BFA Law by the July 1 Court Deadline (NYSE:CIVI)

NEW YORK, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Civitas Resources, Inc. (NYSE: CIVI) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Civitas you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting

https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/civitas-resources-inc
.

Investors have until July 1, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Civitas securities.   The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and is captioned Lin v. Civitas Resources., et al., No. 25-cv-03791.

Why was Civitas Sued for Securities Fraud?

Civitas is an oil and gas exploration and production company with its key assets located in the Denver-Julesburg Basin in Colorado and the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico. The complaint alleges that Civitas stated that both basins had “enhanced recovery potential” and that it had “driven production ahead of plans,” while touting “enhanced margins through reduced operating costs” and insisting that “costs are below expectations.”

In truth, the Company’s oil production peaked in 2024, and increasing production would require Civitas to spend significant capital to acquire additional land, driving up costs.

The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed

On February 24, 2025, Civitas announced disappointing Q4 and full year 2024 results, and reduced its oil production guidance. The Company explained that oil production had peaked and it would need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire thousands of acres of new land to produce more oil. Civitas also announced that it was implementing a 10% reduction in its workforce to “solidify the Company’s low-cost structure.” On the same day, Civitas announced the immediate firings of its Chief Operating Officer and Chief Transformation Officer. On this news, the price of Civitas stock declined more than 18%, from a closing price of $49.30 per share on February 24, 2025, to $40.35 per share on February 25, 2025.

FLNC DEADLINE REMINDER: Fluence Energy, Inc. Investors are Reminded to Contact BFA Law by the May 12 Class Action Deadline (NASDAQ:FLNC)

NEW YORK, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Fluence Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLNC) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Fluence Energy, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting

https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/fluence-energy-inc
.

Investors have until May 12, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Fluence Energy common stock. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and is captioned Abramov v. Fluence Energy, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-00444.

Why was
Fluence Energy
Sued for Securities Fraud?

Fluence Energy offers energy storage products and solutions, delivery services, recurring operational and maintenance services, and digital applications and solutions for energy storage and other power assets.

As alleged, Fluence Energy misrepresented the strength of its competitive position, sales pipeline, and backlog of orders. In reality, Fluence Energy concealed declines in its sales and earnings growth by engaging in aggressive revenue pull-forwards and selectively applied earnings adjustments.

The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed

On February 22, 2024, Blue Orca Capital issued a report revealing that Siemens Energy—an affiliate of one of the company’s founders and largest sources of revenue—filed a lawsuit accusing Fluence Energy of misrepresentations, breach of contract, and fraud. The Blue Orca report also revealed that much of Fluence Energy’s sales and earnings growth was the result of aggressive revenue pull-forwards and selectively applied earnings adjustments.

Then, on February 10, 2025, Fluence Energy issued a press release announcing its financial results for Q1 2025. Fluence Energy reported a net loss of $57 million, or $0.32 per share, with revenues falling 49% year-over-year, and lowered its revenue guidance for the remainder of the year. According to Fluence Energy, “[w]e have experienced customer-driven delays in signing certain contracts that, coupled with competitive pressures, result in the need to lower our fiscal year 2025 outlook.”

This news caused the price of Fluence Energy stock to decline 46%, to close at $7.00 per share on February 11, 2025.

TBBK DEADLINE REMINDER: The Bancorp, Inc. Investors are Reminded to Contact BFA Law by the May 16 Class Action Deadline (NASDAQ:TBBK)

NEW YORK, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against The Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBBK) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Bancorp, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting

https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/the-bancorp-inc
.

Investors have until May 16, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Bancorp stock. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and is captioned Linden v. The Bancorp, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-00326.

Why was Bancorp Sued for Securities Fraud?

Bancorp is a financial holding company that engages in institutional banking, commercial real estate bridge lending, small business lending and commercial fleet leasing. Its commercial real estate bridge loans (“REBLs”) are primarily collateralized by apartment buildings.

The complaint alleges that Bancorp misrepresented the significant risk of default or loss on its REBL loan portfolio and that its credit loss methodology was insufficient to account for the allowance of credit losses. As alleged, Bancorp also misrepresented the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting as they contained at least one material weakness.

The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed

On March 21, 2024, Culper Research issued a report stating that Bancorp had misrepresented the significant risks of default and/or loss on certain Bancorp REBL loans. According to Culper Research, Bancorp’s REBL loan portfolio is filled with apartments which are “quite literally, crumbling,” with high vacancies and multiple condemnations and that its portfolio consisted of loans to unsophisticated borrowers who were coaxed by “get rich quick” promises. This news caused the price of Bancorp stock to decline over 10%, from $36.04 per share on March 21, 2024, to $32.12 per share on March 21, 2024.

On October 24, 2024, Bancorp announced its Q3 2024 results, disclosing net income of only $51.5 million due to “a new CECL [current expected credit losses methodology] factor” to REBL loans which increased credit losses and resulted in a post-tax reduction in net income of $1.5 million. This news caused the price of Bancorp stock to decline over 14%, from $54.96 per share on October 24, 2025, to $47.01 per share on October 25, 2025.

Finally, on March 4, 2025, Bancorp disclosed that it had “inappropriately filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024” and informed investors that its financial statements from 2022 to 2024 as reflected in that Annual Report should no longer be relied upon. Bancorp revealed that its auditors did not approve the use of its audit opinions for those years. This news caused the price of Bancorp stock to decline 4.4%, from $53.59 per share on March 4, 2025, to $51.25 per share on March 5, 2025.

VTRS DEADLINE REMINDER: Viatris Inc. Investors are Reminded to Contact BFA Law by the June 3 Class Action Deadline (NASDAQ:VTRS)

NEW YORK, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Viatris Inc. (NASDAQ: VTRS) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Viatris, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting

https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/viatris-inc
.

Investors have until June 3, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Viatris securities.   The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania and is captioned Quinn v. Viatris Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-466.

Why was Viatris Sued for Securities Fraud?

Viatris is a global healthcare company that supplies medicines to about 1 billion patients across more than 165 countries and territories. The complaint alleges that Viatris stated its facilities were in “good operating condition,” were “suitable for their intended purposes,” and that the Company was “committed to maintaining the highest quality manufacturing standards.”

However, on December 23, 2024, the Company revealed that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had issued a Warning Letter following a failed inspection at the Company’s Indore, India, facility. Still, Viatris downplayed the situation, describing it as a “little bit of headwind” and spoke about “active discussions with the FDA” to get additional products produced at the facility exempted from the FDA’s Import Alert.

In truth, the ramifications of the failed FDA inspection resulted in a significant headwind to the Company’s financial results as it prevented the Company from manufacturing and distributing key products, including Lenalidomide.

The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed

On February 27, 2025, the Company released its Q4 2024 results and provided 2025 guidance. The Company revealed that the “negative impact” of the Indore facility’s failed inspection would lower 2025 revenue by “approximately $500 million” and 2025 earnings from operations by “approximately $385 million.” The Company further disclosed that the failed inspection at its Indore facility prevented it from identifying alternative supply options for Lenalidomide and from obtaining further product exemptions from the FDA. On this news, the price of Viatris stock declined roughly 15% during the trading day, from a closing price of $11.24 per share on February 26, 2025, to $9.53 per share on February 27, 2025.

NEW YORK, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: BBAI) and certain of the Company’s senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in BigBear.ai, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting

https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/bigbearai-holdings-inc
.

Investors have until June 10, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased BigBear.ai securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and is captioned Priewe v. BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-00623.

Why was BigBear.ai Sued for Securities Fraud?

BigBear.ai is an AI-driven technology solutions company that helps organizations operationalize AI by analyzing complex data and providing actionable insights in areas of national security, supply chain management, and digital identity and biometrics solutions. 

BigBear.ai went public via a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) transaction, completing merging first with GigCapital4 Merger Sub Corporation, and subsequently with GigCapital4, Inc. Upon completion of the merger, BigBear.ai issued $200 million of unsecured convertible notes with a maturity date of December 15, 2026. During the relevant period, BigBear.ai improperly accounted for the 2026 Convertible Notes, causing it to misstate various items in several of the Company’s previously issued financial statements.

The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed

On March 18, 2025, BigBear.ai delayed the filing of its 2024 10K, disclosing that certain of the Company’s financial statements since fiscal year 2021 should no longer be relied upon and would be restated. On this news, the price of BigBear.ai stock declined roughly 15%, from a closing price of $3.49 per share on March 17, 2025, to $2.97 per share on March 18, 2025.

Then, on March 25, 2025, after market, BigBear filed its 2024 10-K restating its consolidated financial statements “to reflect the issuance of the 2026 Notes Conversion Option at fair value as of December 7, 2021 and the subsequent remeasurement to fair value at each reporting date.” The 2024 10-K also disclosed that the Company had identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. On this news, the price of BigBear.ai stock declined roughly 9%, from a closing price of $3.51 per share on March 25, 2025, to $3.19 per share on March 26, 2025.

SAB BIO Announces Q1 2025 Financial Results and Provides Company Updates

MIAMI, May 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SAB BIO (Nasdaq: SABS), (“SAB BIO” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a novel immunotherapy platform that is developing human anti-thymocyte immunoglobulin (hIgG) for delaying the onset or progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D), today announced financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2025, and reported on recent developments.

Samuel J. Reich, Chairman and CEO of SAB BIO, stated, “We have made strong progress this quarter on our corporate strategy and mission to deliver a transformational therapy that can halt or delay the progression of type 1 diabetes. Based on our recent positive Phase 1 topline data for SAB-142, we have seen accelerating momentum across the T1D landscape regarding the therapeutic potential of SAB-142.”

Recent Pipeline Developments

  • In April 2025, SAB BIO concluded patient dosing in the last cohort of the Phase 1 clinical study of SAB-142.

Corporate Updates from Q1 2025

  • FY 2024 budget initiatives are now contributing to cost savings focusing on improvements to the Company’s manufacturing processes for scaled-batch manufacturing. The Company anticipates these initiatives will contribute to continued efficiencies across the Company’s financial performance in 2025.
  • The Company has successfully obtained a Qualified Person (QP) declaration for SAB BIO’s in-house CMC manufacturing process for SAB-142. This milestone represents a key cGMP compliance achievement enabling SAB BIO to meet European manufacturing standards for an investigational medical drug product (IMPD) designated for upcoming clinical trials in the EU. 

Q1 2025 Financial Results

  • SAB BIO held cash and equivalents of $12.9 million as of March 31, 2025, compared to $20.8 million as of December 31, 2024.
  • R&D expenses were $7.7 million and $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The modest decline resulted from the fluctuation of priority spending for the SAB-142 program, a disease-modifying human hIgG aimed at preventing onset or disease progression of T1D.
  • General and administrative expenses were $3.1 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. This decrease was driven by reduced payroll related costs and professional fees in order to prioritize the Company’s continued research activities and development of its product candidates.
  • Other income of $5.6 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and reduced net interest income.
  • SAB BIO reported a net loss of $5.2 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
