The above represents average revenue per contract (RPC) or net capture is based on a three-month rolling average, reported on a one-month lag. Average transaction fees per contract can be affected by various factors, including exchange fee rates, volume-based discounts and transaction mix by contract type and product type.

• For Global FX, “net capture per one million dollars traded” refers to transaction fees less liquidity payments, if any, divided by the Spot and SEF products of one-thousandth of ADNV traded on the Cboe FX Markets and the number of trading days, divided by two, which represents the buyer and seller that are both charged on the transaction.
• For Cboe Clear Europe, “Fee per Trade Cleared” refers to clearing fees divided by number of non-interoperable trades cleared and “Net Fee per Settlement” refers to settlement fees less direct costs incurred to settle divided by the number of settlements executed after netting.

“Over the last six years, we have built an industry-leading team, refreshed our go-to-market strategy, and expanded our product offering with the addition of Heat-Timer,” added Matthew Labovitz, Principal at Bessemer. “Together we have tripled our digital and connected offerings, grown our market share and helped position the Leonard and Heat-Timer brands as the market leaders for health, safety and energy efficiency. We look forward to watching Leonard’s continued success as they join A. O. Smith.”

“The Bessemer team delivered on everything we set out to accomplish together, and then some. I could not have asked for a better partner and steward of the Leonard Valve legacy,” said Niles Wilcox, prior owner and former Chief Executive Officer of Leonard Valve.

“Bessemer has been a highly supportive and value-added partner for Leonard Valve,” said David Brakenwagen, Chief Executive Officer of Leonard Valve. “With their backing, we have invested in our people and technology, broadened our solutions and enhanced our ability to serve critical institutional and commercial customers.

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 has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. 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, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) DeFi Technologies was facing delays in executing its DeFi arbitrage strategy, which at all relevant times was a key revenue driver for DeFi Technologies; (2) DeFi Technologies had understated the extent of competition it faced from other digital asset treasury (“DAT”) companies and the extent to which that competition would negatively impact its ability to execute its DeFi arbitrage strategy; (3) as a result of the foregoing issues, DeFi Technologies was unlikely to meet its previously issued revenue guidance for the fiscal year 2025; (4) accordingly, defendants had downplayed the true scope and severity of the negative impact that the foregoing issues were having on DeFi Technologies’ business and financial results; and (5) 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.

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.
