His ability to bring together stakeholders from government, industry, and academia has made him a recognized leader in technology-led transformation.

In French-speaking Switzerland, Mr. Gobet helped establish clusters of excellence, including the GAIN cluster, which unites aerospace companies in a collaborative innovation ecosystem. For more than 10 years, he directed the Office for the Promotion of Industries and Technologies (OPI), where he supported the economic development of companies ranging from startups to global enterprises. Mr. Gobet holds a master’s degree from the University of Lausanne.

At this year’s show, Constellium will highlight its innovations in high-performance aluminum products, including Airware®, Constellium’s proprietary aluminum-lithium solution engineered for aircraft and spacecraft applications.

This breakthrough is the result of a collaboration between Constellium and TARMAC Aerosave, with the support of Airbus, and represents a significant step toward a circular economy in aerospace.

Constellium’s exhibit is a great opportunity to explore the role of aluminum in the future of aviation and to showcase the company’s progress on the Wing of the Future project—an initiative dedicated to developing next-generation wing technologies that enable lighter, more fuel-efficient aircraft.

SINOVAC Board of Directors Alerts Shareholders to Advantech/Prime Success’ New Lawsuit, Which Threatens to Prevent Payment of US$55.00 Special Dividend to All Valid Shareholders

SINOVAC Board of Directors Alerts Shareholders to Advantech/Prime Success’ New Lawsuit, Which Threatens to Prevent Payment of US$55.00 Special Dividend to All Valid Shareholders

Vivo Capital Challenges SINOVAC’s Paying Agent on Distribution of the Dividend

Opposition Brief to be Filed Monday in Advance of Wednesday Hearing and Expected Friday Decision

BEIJING–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
The Board of Directors of SINOVAC Biotech Ltd. (NASDAQ: SVA) (“SINOVAC” or the “Company”), a leading provider of biopharmaceutical products in China, today disclosed that on June 12, 2025, Advantech/Prime Success filed a Petition for Emergency Injunctive Relief against SINOVAC, et al., naming as relief parties Cede & Co., The Depository Trust Company, and Equiniti (the dividend paying agent retained by the SINOVAC Board), which may prevent the SINOVAC Board from paying the US$55.00 special dividend as scheduled on or about July 9, 2025.

We learned that Vivo Capital’s counsel informed the paying agent that Vivo would challenge the dividend and asked the paying agent to withdraw from facilitating the distribution of the US$55.00 dividend declared by the SINOVAC Board to all valid shareholders.

The SINOVAC Board has an obligation to answer this Petition on behalf of all SINOVAC common shareholders to stand up to the egregious actions of Prime Success. We expect to file our Opposition Brief today at 5:00 p.m. Atlantic Standard Time, followed by a hearing on Wednesday, June 18.

We continue to be shocked by the self-serving, unnecessary actions by Advantech and Vivo Capital (together known as the “Dissenting Investor Group”) against SINOVAC, threatening the rightful dividend payment to all valid SINOVAC common shareholders. These incomprehensible actions are unacceptable to the SINOVAC Board because:

  • The Dissenting Investor Group has already pocketed more than US$1.1 billion in dividends from SINOVAC’s operating subsidiary, while all SINOVAC’s valid shareholders received nothing.

  • An amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash that would be payable under the US$55.00 per common share special dividend in respect of the 2018 PIPE shares has been set aside by the SINOVAC Board in an escrow account managed by an independent third party pending final resolution of the legal proceedings, which the Dissenting Investor Group initiated. Thus, there is no risk whatsoever that the Dissenting Investor Group’s allocations of the dividend will not be paid if the courts ultimately decide in their favor regarding the PIPE shares.

These new actions by the Dissenting Investor Group go against their assertions of their support of the US$55.00 dividend payment in their letters to shareholders and raises the question – how can you trust anything they say in their letters or press releases?

The SINOVAC Board will continue to fight these frivolous lawsuits, all of which aim to accomplish one thing: to allow the Dissenting Investor group to double dip on dividends. We feel certain we will prevail quickly in this and other proceedings. The SINOVAC Board is on a mission to restore fairness and deliver value to ALL SINOVAC shareholders.

Amazon Ads and Roku Announce Partnership Creating the Largest Authenticated CTV Footprint

Amazon Ads and Roku Announce Partnership Creating the Largest Authenticated CTV Footprint

New exclusive partnership cements Amazon as Roku’s most addressable DSP for CTV activation

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Today, Amazon Ads and Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU) announced a new integration that gives advertisers access to the largest authenticated CTV footprint in the U.S. exclusively through Amazon DSP. The new collaboration delivers logged-in reach to an estimated 80M U.S. Connected TV (CTV) households, representing more than 80% of U.S. CTV households according to ComScore data. Unlocking an addressable CTV audience at such unprecedented scale will drive improved performance, planning, optimization, and measurement for all advertisers, further enabling CTV as a true performance solution. The exclusive partnership between two leaders in CTV enhances addressability across major streaming apps including The Roku Channel, Prime Video, and other leading CTV streaming services on Roku and Fire TV operating systems; popular streaming services already available, including Disney, FOX Corporation, Paramount, Tubi, and Warner Bros Discovery; and all premium publishers.

Amazon Ads and Roku, Inc. announced a new integration that gives advertisers access to the largest authenticated CTV footprint in the U.S. exclusively through Amazon DSP.

Amazon Ads and Roku, Inc. announced a new integration that gives advertisers access to the largest authenticated CTV footprint in the U.S. exclusively through Amazon DSP.

Early tests of this integration have shown significant results. Advertisers using this new solution reached 40% more unique viewers with the same budget and reduced how often the same person saw an ad by nearly 30%, enabling advertisers to benefit from three times more value from their ad spend.

“Our exclusive partnership with Roku is a giant leap for advertisers, bringing best-in-class planning, audience precision, and performance to TV advertising,” saidPaul Kotas, Senior Vice President, Amazon Ads. “The collaboration enables agencies and brands that use Amazon DSP to benefit from greater efficiency and higher performance. We’re removing the guesswork to provide advertisers with unprecedented capabilities and delivering performance in ways that simply weren’t possible before. By combining our technologies, advertisers can now drive full-funnel campaign outcomes—from awareness through conversion—while eliminating media waste across Amazon and Roku streaming audiences.”

The integration utilizes a custom identity resolution service, allowing Amazon DSP to recognize logged-in viewers across the Roku OS and devices in the U.S. This exclusive capability enables advertisers to reach the same viewer deterministically across different streaming channels and devices, providing more accurate audience targeting and measurement than previously possible.

“For years, Roku has been committed to delivering performance-driven, open, and interoperable solutions that provide visibility and accountability for advertisers. Our partnership with Amazon strengthens this mission, as Amazon DSP exemplifies these principles,” said Charlie Collier, President, Roku Media. “This collaboration delivers a unified, future-ready solution at an unprecedented scale, one designed to drive measurable outcomes by unlocking performance across CTV. With nearly half of all TV streaming time in the U.S. happening on Roku, and the power and depth of Amazon in retail and beyond, together we’re uniquely positioned to prove performance and differentiate DSP offerings for our shared advertisers and marketers.”

As the most addressable platform for Roku’s CTV activation, Amazon DSP now offers advertisers new exclusive advantages:

  • Reach with more precision: Authenticated reach across two of the largest CTV footprints, paired with Amazon’s trillions of shopping, streaming, and browsing signals, helps brands more precisely reach their desired audiences and connect ads to consumer actions, such as purchases.
  • Measurable results at every stage of the customer journey: Combining data from ads served on the Roku platform with Amazon DSP insights shows exactly how ads drive outcomes across the funnel, providing a level of intelligence across Roku properties not offered by any other DSP.
  • Effective control of ad frequency: Amazon DSP can now recognize users across channels and devices to deliver the right number of ads—eliminating wasted impressions while creating a better viewing experience.

Amazon Ads offers full-funnel advertising solutions to help businesses of all sizes achieve their marketing goals at scale. Amazon DSP is a technology solution available to Amazon Ads customers, providing choice and flexibility to drive meaningful moments between brands and consumers. Amazon DSP leverages unique first-party insights paired with sophisticated clean room technology to bring advertisers and publishers closer together, increasing efficiency and improving performance. It leverages advanced AI to deliver impactful ads to relevant audiences through automation that streamlines campaign planning, buying, and measurement.

This partnership complements Roku’s direct sales strategy and reinforces the company’s commitment to working with a diverse range of partners, including DSPs, to maximize reach and performance for our clients.

The new solution will be available in the U.S. to all advertisers that use Amazon DSP by Q4 2025. To learn more about the Amazon DSP, visit https://advertising.amazon.com/.

This collaboration leverages STRATACACHE’s advanced technology to promote product discovery and create media offerings that allow brand partners of all sizes to participate and engage their customers.

“At Albertsons Cos., we’ve identified a significant opportunity to enhance our in-store customers’ shopping experience by delivering relevant and impactful messaging at the point of purchase,” said Jennifer Saenz, Chief Commercial Officer at Albertsons Cos. “Our partnership with STRATACACHE enables brand partners to engage directly with our shoppers at this key moment, providing them with compelling offers, meal inspiration and timely information.”

According to EMARKETER, in-store shoppers are highly attentive to in-store advertising, with 75% of adults likely to notice advertising, as reported by Morning Consult. Additionally, EMARKETER projects in-store retail media spending to exceed $1 billion by 2028. With retail media’s anticipated growth and the substantial opportunities that physical stores present, advertisers are recognizing the potential of this channel.

Albertsons Media Collective’s in-store digital display network pilot will launch this summer in select Albertsons Cos. stores in two key regions, featuring large format premium displays in high traffic areas at impactful touchpoints in the customer journey throughout the store, such as store entry and the produce department. This initiative will not only enhance the shopping experience for customers but also provide valuable insights through advanced measurement capabilities for brand partners, allowing for proof of play, direct sales attribution and sales lift.

“Understanding the impact of in-store digital advertising is key. STRATACACHE’s technology foundation for closed-loop measurement was a significant factor in our decision to partner with them,” said Liz Roche, VP of Media and Measurement at Albertsons Media Collective. “Being able to reach customers through compelling brand messaging at the point of purchase and then understand performance helps us fully realize the potential of the in-store channel. We’re especially excited to enhance our measurement offerings as the fleet of digital screens is rolled out.”

In-store digital ads are crucial for full-funnel advertising, allowing brands to connect with consumers at the point of purchase. These ads effectively reach customers throughout their shopping journey, encouraging them to add items to their cart with engaging content on digital screens, including meal or snack inspiration, product usage and lifestyle and health benefits. For a full store immersion, brands can enhance this experience with in-store audio and promotional offers. Additionally, advertisers can leverage CTV, offsite display and social video campaigns to bring their brand message to life in the store.

“Mondelēz’s focus is to meet customers in the moments that matter—and few are more powerful than when they’re standing at the shelf, ready to decide,” said Melissa Pitmon, Customer Director, OmniChannel Activation of Mondelēz International. “Albertsons Media Collective’s new digital screens will enable us to deliver inspiring, hyper-relevant content right where purchase decisions are made. It’s a natural complement to our digital strategy and a powerful reminder that the store remains one of the most influential spaces to build brand connection and drive conversion.”

With a comprehensive plan for store rollouts following the pilot and advanced measurement capabilities, Albertsons Media Collective looks forward to driving brand messaging and resonance with in-store customers.

EHA 2025 | Multiple Studies Report Encouraging Data of Olverembatinib in Ph+ ALL

ROCKVILLE, Md. and SUZHOU, China, June 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ascentage Pharma (NASDAQ: AAPG; HKEX: 6855), a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to addressing unmet medical needs in cancers, announced that results from 13 studies of its core assets, including the novel drug olverembatinib (HQP1351) and the investigational EED inhibitor APG-5918, have been reported at the 2025 European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Congress.

Notably, in multiple studies presented at this year’s EHA Annual Congress, the third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) olverembatinib showed broad therapeutic potential and demonstrated particular clinical benefit in the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). According to the results, olverembatinib demonstrated high complete remission (CR) and complete molecular response (CMR) rates, as well as favorable tolerability in the first-line treatment of newly diagnosed and relapsed/refractory Ph+ ALL, and specific subtypes of some hematologic malignancies (e.g., myeloid/lymphoid neoplasm with FGFR1 rearrangement). Furthermore, studies on various combinations of olverembatinib (with venetoclax plus azacitidine, the VP regimen, blinatumomab, or inotuzumab ozogamicin) have shown encouraging results that revealed olverembatinib’s potential in offering more treatment options and improved long-term prognoses to patients with Ph+ ALL.

In addition, a preclinical study of the investigational EED inhibitor APG-5918, another key asset in Ascentage Pharma’s pipeline, was featured in a poster presentation at the Congress. These data showed the potent antitumor activity of APG-5918 in T-cell lymphoma and support further clinical development of the agent.

Highlights of select abstracts presented at EHA 2025 are as follows (for detailed results from all 13 studies of the company’s assets, please visit the official EHA website):

Efficacy and Safety of Regimen with Olverembatinib and Blinatumomab for the Frontline Treatment of Ph-Positive or Ph-Like Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

  • Abstract#: PS1367
  • Format: Poster Presentation
  • Principal Authors: Prof. Hongsheng Zhou, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University; Xiuli Xu, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University
  • Highlights:
    • This is a single-arm, single-center, prospective study that assessed the clinical experience with olverembatinib in combination with blinatumomab as a first-line treatment for patients with Ph+ or Ph-like ALL.
    • Results from this study show that with a median follow-up duration of 17 months, all patients achieved CR following one cycle of treatment. At 18 months, the overall survival (OS) rate was 100% and the event-free survival (EFS) rate was 91.6%. The regimen was well tolerated and no patient experienced cardiovascular events. Notably, administration of olverembatinib and blinatumomab was not interrupted throughout the treatment course with no dose reduction required.
    • These findings suggest that the combination of olverembatinib and blinatumomab offers promising clinical benefits and an optimal safety profile in patients with Ph+ or Ph-like ALL, thus representing a promising chemotherapy-free treatment option for patients with Ph+ ALL.

Combination of Olverembatinib and VP Regimen as First-Line Therapy for Adult Patients with Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Single-Arm, Multicentre, Phase 2 Trial

  • Abstract#: PS1372
  • Format: Poster Presentation
  • Principal Authors: Prof. Jie Jin, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine; Dr. Gaixiang Xu, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine
  • Highlights:
    • This single-arm, multicenter Phase II study assessed the efficacy and safety of olverembatinib in combination with the VP (vindesine+prednisone) regimen (OVP) in the first-line treatment of adult patients with Ph+ ALL.
    • Results from this study showed that in patients treated with the OVP induction therapy, the overall response rate (ORR) was 100%, the CR rate was 97.3%, and 89.2% (33/37) of patients achieved CMR within 3 treatment cycles. The 2-year OS and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 96.3% and 96%, respectively.
    • These findings suggest that the OVP regimen is effective in achieving a high CMR rate in the early treatment of patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ ALL, with surprisingly few toxic effects and good tolerability, thus representing a potential new treatment option in the first-line setting.

Efficacy and Safety of the Third-Generation Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Olverembatinib in Combination with Inotuzumab Ozogamicin for the Treatment of Adult Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Patients With Relapsed Disease or Persistent Minimal Residual Disease Bridging to Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Phase II Study

  • Abstract#: PS1387
  • Format: Poster Presentation
  • Principal Author: Erlie Jiang, Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College; Xiaoyu Zhang, Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College
  • Highlights:
    • This is an open-label, single-center Phase II study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of olverembatinib in combination with inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) in patients with Ph/BCR-ABL1+ ALL who had relapsed or persistent MRD after at least three rounds of chemotherapy.
    • Results from this study show that after receiving the treatment, all patients achieved hematologic CR, 11 patients achieved CMR, with an overall CMR rate of 78.6% and an MRD-negativity rate of 100%. 64.3% (n=9) of patients successfully underwent bridged allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The 2-year OS and relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were 88.2 ± 15.2% and 62.9 ± 17.9%, respectively.
    • These findings suggest that olverembatinib in combination with INO can achieve deep molecular responses and was well tolerated in patients with Ph+ ALL who had relapsed disease or persistent MRD-positivity.

A Phase 2 Study of Olverembatinib for the Treatment of Myeloid/Lymphoid Neoplasms with FGFR1 Rearrangement

  • Abstract#: PF390
  • Format: Poster Presentation
  • Principal Authors: Prof. Suning Chen, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University; Wenzhi Cai, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University
  • Highlights:
    • This is a Phase II study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of olverembatinib for the treatment of myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with FGFR1 rearrangement (MLN-FGFR1).
    • Results show that in the 13 patients who were analyzed for efficacy, 10 (76.9%) achieved CR/complete hematologic response (CHR), among whom 1 achieved complete cytogenetic response (CCyR, by a patient who received olverembatinib alone) and 1 patient achieved CMR at 2 months’ evaluation.
    • In this study, olverembatinib showed a promising CR/CHR rate and favorable tolerability in MLN-FGFR1, potentially enabling allo-HSCT in greater numbers of eligible patients. These findings revealed an effective targeted therapy for MLN-FGFR1, a rare hematologic malignancy with a poor prognosis that currently lacks standard-of-care treatment.

Embryonic Ectoderm Development (EED) Inhibitor APG-5918 Exhibits Potent Antitumor Activity and Synergizes with Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor Tucidinostat in Preclinical T-Cell Lymphoma (TCL) Models

  • Abstract#: PS1993
  • Format: Poster Presentation
  • Principal Author: Dr. Eric Liang, Ascentage Pharma Group Inc.
  • Highlights:
    • APG-5918 demonstrated potent inhibitory effects on the proliferation of TCL cell lines in vitro, showing superior activity compared to other EZH and EED inhibitors. Its combination with tucidinostat synergistically suppressed cell proliferation.
    • APG-5918 induced dose-dependent apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in TCL cells.
    • In a HuT102 cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) model, APG-5918 exhibited significant, dose-dependent antitumor activity, achieving complete tumor regression at 30 mg/kg with a 100% ORR. Its combination with tucidinostat synergistically enhanced antitumor activity.
    • Mechanistically, APG-5918 modulated PRC2 complex and induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Combination with tucidinostat further enhanced these effects.
    • These findings provide strong rationale for the clinical development of APG-5918, both as a monotherapy and in combination with HDAC inhibitors, for TCL.

*Olverembatinib and APG-5918 are investigational compounds and have not been approved by the U.S. FDA.

WST Deadline: WST Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K Have Opportunity to West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit

PR Newswire


NEW YORK
, June 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (NYSE: WST) between February 16, 2023 and February 12, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 7, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased West Pharmaceutical common stock 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 West Pharmaceutical class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=39367 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 7, 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, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) despite claiming strong visibility into customer demand and attributing headwinds to temporary COVID-related product destocking, West was in fact experiencing significant and ongoing destocking across its high-margin High-Value Products (“HVP”) portfolio; (2) West’s SmartDose device, which was purportedly positioned as a high-margin growth product, was highly dilutive to West’s profit margins due to operational inefficiencies; (3) these margin pressures created the risk of costly restructuring activities, including West’s exit from continuous glucose monitoring (“CGM”) contracts with long-standing customers; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about West’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the West Pharmaceutical class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=39367 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.
