Rocket Lab Successfully Launches 61st Electron Mission, Second Launch for iQPS

Rocket Lab Successfully Launches 61^st Electron Mission, Second Launch for iQPS

MAHIA, New Zealand–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (Nasdaq: RKLB) (“Rocket Lab” or “the Company”), a global leader in launch services and space systems, today successfully launched its second mission for Japanese customer, the Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space, Inc. (iQPS).

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250314452494/en/

‘The Lightning God Reigns’ mission lifted-off from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand at 1:00 p.m. NZDT (00:00 UTC) on March 15, 2025 to successfully deploy iQPS’ QPS-SAR-9 spacecraft to a 575km circular Earth orbit. The mission follows Rocket Lab’s first launch for the company in December 2023, when Electron deployed another QPS-SAR satellite as part of iQPS’ newly established radar imaging constellation.

“The Lightning God Reigns” is the first of eight new launches for iQPS that are scheduled to launch throughout 2025 and 2026 as part of one of the largest Electron launch agreements to date. Five more launches are expected to take place in 2025, with the remaining two scheduled for 2026. Rocket Lab’s next mission for iQPS is scheduled to launch no earlier than May 2025.

Each mission has been commissioned to build out iQPS’ planned constellation of up to 36 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites. The constellation is capable of imaging the Earth day and night and through any weather, to provide near real-time observation data for almost any location in the world.

Rocket Lab founder and CEO, Sir Peter Beck, says: “Congratulations to the Rocket Lab and iQPS teams on yet another successful mission together. Every Electron launch in 2025 so far has been to expand a satellite constellation and with this latest mission success, you can see why. Electron provides our customers with total flexibility and control over their schedule, orbit, and other critical mission elements to create their constellation exactly as they need it. We’re looking forward to continuing our constellation build out for iQPS this year and next.”

iQPS CEO, Dr. Shunsuke Onishi, says: “I sincerely appreciate the dedication and hard work of the teams at iQPS and Rocket Lab in making this launch mission a success, and I am truly impressed by the short timeline from QPS-SAR-9’s departure from Fukuoka, Japan, through its journey via Mahia Peninsula, to its successful deployment into LEO. As we prepare for the launch of seven more QPS-SARs between this year and next year, I am reassured by the reliability and efficiency of Electron in executing missions like this one.”

Rocket Lab’s next mission is scheduled to launch from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in just three days’ time on March 18, 2025 NZDT.

QUBT Investors Have Opportunity to Lead Quantum Computing Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit

PR Newswire

NEW YORK
, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT) between March 30, 2020 and January 15, 2025, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important April 28, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased Quantum Computing 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 Quantum Computing class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=35891 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 April 28, 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) defendants overstated the capabilities of Quantum Computing’s quantum computing technologies, products, and/or services; (2) defendants overstated the scope and nature of Quantum Computing’s relationship with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”), as well as the scope and nature of Quantum Computing’s NASA-related contracts and/or subcontracts; (3) defendants overstated Quantum Computing’s progress in developing a thin film lithium niobate (“TFLN”) foundry, the scale of the purported TFLN foundry, and orders for Quantum Computing’s TFLN chips; (4) Quantum Computing’s business dealings with Quad M Solutions, Inc. and millionways, Inc. both qualified as related party transactions; (5) accordingly, Quantum Computing’s revenues relied, at least in part, on undisclosed related party transactions; (6) all the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to have a significant negative impact on Quantum Computing’s business and reputation; and (7) 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 Quantum Computing class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=35891 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.

On this news, Flywire stock fell $6.59 per share, or 37.3%, to close at $11.05 per share on February 26, 2025.

In connection with the sale, the Company will receive a fixed purchase price of $261 million in cash pursuant to the definitive Stock Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, the Bank and EverBank, dated September 15, 2024.

The Company and EverBank have agreed that the closing of the sale transaction will occur before the market opens on April 1, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions, all of which are expected to be satisfied.

The Company also announced that, in connection with the receipt of all regulatory approvals required for the sale transaction, the Company will notify the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) of the anticipated closing date and the Company’s intent to request that Nasdaq (i) suspend trading of the Company’s common stock prior to the opening of trading on the closing date and (ii) withdraw the Company’s common stock from listing on Nasdaq after the close of trading on the closing date. At that time, the Company will file with the SEC a notification on Form 25 of the delisting of the Company’s common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As a result, the Company intends that its common stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq following the close of trading on the closing date.

Consistent with the plan of dissolution adopted by the Company’s board of directors and approved by the Company’s shareholders (the “Plan of Dissolution”), the Company intends to close the record books of the Company as of the close of business on the closing date, and set the closing date as the record date for all distributions to shareholders pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution. Further information regarding distributions will be made available on or around the closing date.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Press Release contains certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” regarding the Company’s plans, expectations, thoughts, beliefs, estimates, goals and outlook for the future. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance, including any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” and “would” or the negative versions of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature, though the absence of these words does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. All statements other than statements of historical facts, including but not limited to statements regarding the economy and financial markets, threatened litigation, credit quality, the regulatory scheme governing our industry, competition in our industry, interest rates, our liquidity, our business and our governance, are forward-looking statements. We have based the forward-looking statements in this Press Release primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and they are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. The risks, uncertainties and other factors detailed from time to time in our public filings, including those included in the disclosures under the headings “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2025, subsequent periodic reports and future periodic reports, could affect future results and events, causing those results and events to differ materially from those views expressed or implied in the Company’s forward-looking statements. These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Press Release and our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Press Release. Should one or more of the foregoing risks materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or outcomes may vary materially from those projected in, or implied by, such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any obligation to update, revise, or correct any forward-looking statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information or otherwise.
