ACMR Investor Alert: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Reminds ACM Research, Inc. Investors of Class Action and Encourages Shareholders to Contact the Firm

ACMR Investor Alert: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Reminds ACM Research, Inc. Investors of Class Action and Encourages Shareholders to Contact the Firm

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against ACM Research, Inc. (“ACM” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ACMR) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired ACM securities between March 6, 2019 – October 7, 2020, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: www.bgandg.com/acmr.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The complaint alleges that throughout the class period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) ACM Research’s revenues and profits were diverted to undisclosed related parties, and (2) consequently, the company materially overstated its revenues and profits.

On October 8, 2020, analyst J Capital Research (“J Capital”) published a report concerning ACM, in which J Capital concluded that ACM “is a fraud, over-reporting both revenue and profit.” The report cited, among other things, J Capital’s visits to “sites in China, Korea, and California” and “more than 40 interviews.” J Capital asserted that “[w]hat real profit the company has is apparently being siphoned off to related parties.” The J Capital report concluded that ACM’s revenue was overstated by 15-20% and claimed to have “evidence that undisclosed related parties are diverting revenue and profit from the company.” Following this news, ACM’s stock price dropped $1.09 per share, or 1.52%, to close at $70.79 per share on October 8, 2020.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to review a copy of the Complaint you can visit the firm’s site: www.bgandg.com/acmror you may contact Peretz Bronstein, Esq. or his Investor Relations Analyst, Yael Hurwitz of Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC at 212-697-6484.

UMB Institutional Banking Continues Growth, Unveils UMB Bank, n.a. Capital Markets Division

UMB Institutional Banking Continues Growth, Unveils UMB Bank, n.a. Capital Markets Division

KANSAS CITY, Mo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
UMB Bank, n.a., a subsidiary of UMB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: UMBF), today announces a newly rebranded UMB Bank, n.a. Capital Markets Division. Previously known as UMB Bank Investment Banking Division, the UMB Bank Capital Markets Division will deliver a full range of innovative capital solutions, supported by a broad and diverse investor base of bank and non-bank institutional networks in the United States.

The establishment of UMB Bank’s Capital Markets Division follows tremendous growth of the investment banking business, which earlier this year opened a new office in New York City—the eleventh office to support the team’s national operations. The group also continues to ascend on Bloomberg’s league tables for competitive underwriting, placing in the top 25 while growing market share by 44 percent in 2020.

“We are excited to announce the Capital Markets Division, which continues to deliver our full range of innovative capital solutions and fully conveys the extensive amount of services UMB Bank can offer clients,” said Jim Cornelius, president of Institutional Banking, UMB Bank. “Our service-first approach, paired with our market insight, strong underwriting capabilities and consistent capital backing uniquely positions the Capital Markets Division to serve financial institutions, municipalities, corporations, higher education institutions and other public and not-for-profit organizations across the country.”

The UMB Bank Capital Markets Division provides access to the following services:

Fixed income sales and trading: The Capital Markets Division specializes in fixed-income distribution for financial institutions and corporations, both in the primary and secondary market, to meet liquidity and investment goals. UMB Bank’s diverse network includes active and longstanding relationships with Tier I, Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV institutional investors. Additional fixed income trading services are offered by certain Capital Markets Division associates through UMB Financial Services, Inc. (UMBFSI), an affiliate of UMB Bank and a subsidiary of UMB Financial Corporation.

Public finance group: The Capital Markets Division offers multiple financing structures that allow issuers to efficiently access the marketplace to meet their capital needs. The public finance group, also known as the Capital Markets Group when engaged in activities through UMBFSI, recently added Sean Boyea, Rick Menchaca and John Wendling as senior vice presidents to continue UMB’s growth across the United States.

Corporate bond underwriting and private placements: As clients’ financial needs increase, certain Capital Markets Division associates guide clients raising capital through the bond market to support their growth, utilizing products and services offered through UMBFSI. While UMBFSI has extensive experience underwriting corporate bonds, a newly established corporate private placement service already closed its first deal in September, involving Johnson Controls, Inc. and Missouri Southern State University.

“Through the tremendous effort and teamwork of our bond sales, corporate trading, public finance and corporate trust teams, we were able to successfully close our first corporate private placement transaction. We continue to demonstrate our experience and ability to support clients with various solutions when they enter the bond market,” Cornelius said.

Municipal advisory: Launched in July 2020, certain Capital Markets Division associates help higher education institutions secure financial solutions for their capital needs and manage their debt portfolios, utilizing UMBFSI’s municipal advisory capabilities. Capital Markets Group members work closely with clients leading up to and throughout the financing process, advising on capital planning and debt portfolio management, credit rating and debt capacity analysis, debt structuring and negotiation, private placement of debt and more.

About UMB:

UMB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: UMBF) is a financial services company headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri.

Pastor Prescribes Scripture and Prayer for Spiritual Healing in Enriching Christian Personal Growth Book

In “Solution Capsules: Christian Living / Prayers,” Simon Aranonu encourages readers to turn to God and His word in their hour of need

PHOENIX, Jan. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Christians are not exempt from trials or tribulations, but they do have a guiding light in times of hardship: the Bible. In his new book, “Solution Capsules: Christian Living / Prayers,” Pastor Simon Aranonu provides practical, scripture-based solutions to some of life’s biggest challenges. Covering ten general areas of need from success and prosperity to divine healing and peace of mind, Aranonu addresses how lack in these areas manifest in daily life and lead to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual distress.  

Aranonu begins each chapter with personal testimony of how God has worked in his life and the lives of those he has encountered through his ministry, following with “Word Solutions” that outline where in the scripture Christians can find guidance to the specific obstacles they are facing. At the end of each section, he administers “Prayer Solutions,” spiritual prescriptions that walk readers through the process of communicating their needs to God and requesting His support.

Through his book, Aranonu affirms that God’s word is an everlasting and eternal source of wisdom and encouragement. Whether readers are suffering from a physical ailment or emotional distress or are experiencing problems in their career or marriage, “Solution Capsules” demonstrates that the Bible holds the key to prosperity and spiritual wellness.   

“I have faced many challenges in my Christian journey,” said Aranonu. “I sought for solutions from the Word of God and received answers. I want Christians to remember that there is at least one scripture that proffers a solution to their problems. What He has done for me and many others, He can do for you.”

Ultimately, “Solution Capsules” reminders readers that they are not alone in their struggles and encourages them to deepen their connection with the Lord so that they may receive his healing and live both joyously and victoriously.

“This book was what I needed,” wrote an Amazon reviewer. “I was going through a rough patch and once I read the chapter on open doors and prayed the prayer points, things started to work out and I drew closer to God. I discovered solutions to my challenges and I’m so thankful that this book exists.”
