IRVING, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Nexstar Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXST), today announced that it will begin highlighting the stories of the market-finalists of its “Remarkable Women” initiative tomorrow, March 9th. The nationwide initiative is part of Nexstar’s celebration of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day (March 8th) and is designed to honor the influence that women have had on public policy, social progress, and the quality of life in the United States. Nexstar will spotlight local women that inspire, lead, and forge the way for other women. The contest will culminate with the naming of the “Nexstar Woman of the Year” in early April which will be exclusively televised on NewsNation (formerly known as WGN America).

Nexstar’s initiative kicked-off earlier this year, with television stations in the company’s local markets accepting nominations for “Nexstar Woman of the Year.” Based on nominations with criteria including community contributions, self-achievement, and family impact, Nexstar television stations across 113 markets have each selected four local women for consideration as that market’s “Remarkable Woman.” In total, nearly 10,000 women were nominated as “remarkable.” Profiles of the top four nominees in each market will air on the local newscasts of Nexstar stations every Tuesday, from March 9, 2021, to March 30, 2021, and the nominees will be featured on the stations’ websites.

Television viewers can learn more about their market’s remarkable women by visiting the website of their local Nexstar television station, which features a special section devoted to the initiative. The website serves as a repository of related stories, videos, and highlights of the remarkable women in their specific local community and contains an interactive map, enabling users to watch videos and learn more about the remarkable women selected from Nexstar’s markets across the country. All of these incredible stories are also available on Nexstar’s social media channels, including Facebook, where the company has more than 30 million followers.

By April 1, 2021, each market will select one woman as its “Remarkable Woman,” and Nexstar will make a $1,000 contribution on behalf of each market-winner to the non-profit organization of their choice. All 113 market winners will participate in an exclusive virtual telecast airing on Nexstar’s national news and entertainment cable network, NewsNation, on April 10, 2021 at 4 p.m. ET, and one woman will be announced as the “Nexstar Woman of the Year” during the broadcast. The Nexstar Charitable Foundation will make a $5,000 contribution on behalf of the “Nexstar Woman of the Year” to the non-profit organization of her choice.

“Nexstar’s ‘Woman of the Year’ initiative brings together our local communities and takes the recognition of women and their contributions in the workplace, the community, and in the lives of others to a larger, national stage, demonstrating our ability to provide the concept, scale and platform to highlight the untold stories of exceptional women across the country,” said Tim Busch, Nexstar Inc. President of Broadcasting. “Giving back to the community is one of Nexstar’s core values and we are honored and humbled to bring the stories of remarkable women everywhere to life, and we are looking forward to naming the ‘Nexstar Woman of the Year’ next month.”

Northern Trust Asset Management Increases Use of Minority Brokers

Northern Trust Asset Management Increases Use of Minority Brokers

Raises Trade Execution Target

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
As part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring and advancing diversity, equity and inclusion within the investment industry, Northern Trust Asset Management (NTAM) is increasing its trade execution services commitment to broker-dealers owned by minorities, women, veterans or people with disabilities. The execution target for its Minority Brokerage Program is increasing in March from 10 percent to 15 percent of equity security trading commissions in certain commingled funds, while continuing to meet our best execution standards.

NTAM started its Minority Brokerage Program in 2007 and in 2018 instituted a 10 percent trading target that the participating funds have consistently met or exceeded.

“As one of the world’s largest investment managers[1], we founded the program over a decade ago because we recognized both the impact we can have to advance diversity within the industry and that partnering with diverse organizations can lead to better outcomes,” Northern Trust Asset Management President Shundrawn Thomas said. “Empirical data has long shown that top-performing companies, regardless of industry, are those that excel on cultural, ethnic and gender diversity. This shouldn’t surprise anyone, as it’s only logical that diversity strengthens culture and increases creativity and innovation—all key ingredients to success.”

Investors have been increasingly looking to partner with asset managers that share a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The pandemic has led investors to focus even more on doing so, as inequities and other social ills have come into sharp view.

“We are delighted that our Minority Brokerage Program provides clients with a proven means to have a significant percentage of their assets aligned with firms owned by minorities, women, veterans or people with disabilities,” said Chief Investment Officer Bob Browne. “And from an even larger perspective, we take pride in the fact that clients understand that the program is just one part of our long-standing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.” A recent acknowledgement of this commitment is Northern Trust Asset Management being named a Diversity Champion by InvestmentNews magazine last year for the second time in the last three.

Northern Trust Asset Management has been cultivating relationships with minority-owned investment management firms and brokerages for more than a decade. The firm’s commitment to diversity also includes its multi-manager solutions business, which invested approximately $4.6 billion with 17 minority-owned investment-management firms through manager-of-manager programs as of December 31, 2020. Minority owned firms that provide equity research are also part of the program.

SHAREHOLDER ACTION REMINDER: The Schall Law Firm Announces the Filing of a Class Action Lawsuit Against Ontrak, Inc. and Encourages Investors with Losses in Excess of $100,000 to Contact the Firm

SHAREHOLDER ACTION REMINDER: The Schall Law Firm Announces the Filing of a Class Action Lawsuit Against Ontrak, Inc. and Encourages Investors with Losses in Excess of $100,000 to Contact the Firm

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit against Ontrak, Inc. (“Ontrak” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: OTRK) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors who purchased the Company’s securities between November 5, 2020 and February 26, 2021, inclusive (the ”Class Period”), are encouraged to contact the firm before May 3, 2021.

If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

We also encourage you to contact Brian Schall of the Schall Law Firm, 2049 Century Park East, Suite 2460, Los Angeles, CA 90067, at 310-301-3335, to discuss your rights free of charge. You can also reach us through the firm’s website at www.schallfirm.com, or by email at [email protected].

The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Ontrak’s largest customer gauged the Company’s performance on the basis of reaching the lowest cost per medical visit possible rather than patient outcomes or medical cost savings. This customer found the Company’s program to be ineffective and was likely to terminate its contract. Because this customer represented a significant portion of the Company’s revenue, the loss of this contract would have a significant impact on its financial results. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Ontrak, investors suffered damages.

Join the case to recover your losses.

U.S. commercial insurance prices again increase significantly during Q4 2020

Highest increase since inception of CLIPS in 2003

ARLINGTON, Va., March 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — U.S. commercial insurance prices again grew significantly in the fourth quarter of 2020, according to leading global advisory, broking and solutions company Willis Towers Watson’s Commercial Lines Insurance Pricing Survey (CLIPS). The survey compared prices charged on policies underwritten during the fourth quarter of 2020 with those charged for the same coverage and quarter in 2019 and found the aggregate commercial price change reported by carriers was above 10%, the highest increase in the history of CLIPS.

Data for nearly all lines indicated significant price increases in the fourth quarter with the largest increases coming from excess/umbrella liability and directors’ and officers’ liability. The outlier continues to be workers compensation, which indicated a slight price reduction, in contrast with all other surveyed lines. Price changes for most lines were consistent with the increases in the third quarter survey and differed by account sizes with small accounts muted, mid-market accounts into double digits and large accounts well into double digits.

Claim cost trends from the surveyed data indicated that loss ratios (excluding catastrophes) for accident year 2020 project to be lower than 2019 across all surveyed lines except workers compensation.

“Commercial insurance prices continued their rise during the fourth quarter and even exceeded double-digit increases, marking the highest rate in the four quarters of 2020,” said Yi Jing, director, Insurance Consulting and Technology, Willis Towers Watson. “These significant price change levels occurred despite rate decreases for workers compensation, for which prices are now flattening after the last 22 quarters of rate decreases.”

CLIPS is a retrospective look at historical changes in commercial property & casualty insurance (P&C) prices and claim cost inflation. A forward-looking analysis of commercial P&C trends, outlook and rate predictions can be found in Willis Towers Watson’s Insurance Marketplace Realities series.
