Investors suffering losses on their investments are encouraged to contact The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz to discuss their legal rights in these class actions at 310-914-5007 or by email to [email protected].

Class Period:   November 3, 2015 – September 24, 2020
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: December 28, 2020

Shareholders with $100,000 losses or more are encouraged to contact the firm

The complaint filed alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) BMW kept a “bank” of retail vehicle sales that it used to meet internal monthly sales targets regardless of when the sales actually occurred; (2) BMW artificially manipulated sales figures by having dealers register cars as sold when the cars were still in inventory; and (3) BMW’s key operating metrics were inaccurate and misleading due to the forgoing facts. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Zosano Pharma Corporation (NASDAQ: ZSAN)
Class Period: February 13, 2017 – September 30, 2020
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: December 28, 2020

The complaint filed alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company’s clinical results reflected differences in zolmitriptan exposures observed between subjects receiving different lots; (2) that pharmocokinetic studies submitted in connection with the Company’s NDA included patients exhibiting unexpected high plasma concentrations of zolmitriptan; (3) that, as a result of the foregoing differences among patient results, the FDA was reasonably likely to require further studies to support regulatory approval of Qtrypta; (4) that, as a result, regulatory approval of Qtrypta was reasonably likely to be delayed; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC)
Class Period: October 13, 2017 – October 13, 2020
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: December 29, 2020

Shareholders with $50,000 losses or more are encouraged to contact the firm

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Wells Fargo had systematically failed to follow appropriate underwriting standards and due diligence guidelines in issuing billions of dollars’ worth of commercial loans, including by inflating the net income and future expected cash flows of its commercial clients to justify issuing excessive loan amounts; (2) a materially higher proportion of Wells Fargo’s commercial loans were to customers of poor credit quality and/or at a substantially higher risk of default than disclosed to investors; (3) Wells Fargo had failed to timely write down commercial loans, CLOs and CMBS on its books that had suffered impairments; (4) Wells Fargo had materially understated the reserves needed for expected credit losses in its commercial portfolios; (5) Wells Fargo had systematically misrepresented the credit quality and likelihood of default of the loans it packaged and securitized into CLOs and CMBS, including by artificially inflating the net income and expected cash flows of its commercial clients in loan and securitization documentation; (6) the CLO and CMBS-related loans issued and investment securities held by Wells Fargo were of lower credit quality and worth far less than represented to investors; (7) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s statements regarding the credit quality of its commercial loans, its underwriting and due diligence practices, and the value of its CLO and CMBS books were materially false and misleading; and (8) as a result of the foregoing, the Company was exposed to severe undisclosed risks of financial, reputational and legal harm, in particular in the event of significant and sustained stress in the commercial credit markets.

Evolus, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOLS)
Class Period: February 1, 2019 – July 6, 2020
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: December 15, 2020

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the real source of botulinum toxin bacterial strain, along with the manufacturing processes used to develop Jeuveau, originated with and were misappropriated from Medytox; (2) that sufficient evidentiary support existed for the allegations that the Company misappropriated certain trade secrets relating to the botulin toxin strain and the manufacturing processes for the development of Jeuveau; (3) as a result, the Company faced a real threat of regulatory and/or court action, barring the import, marketing, and sale of Jeuveau; (4) which in turn seriously threatened Evolus’ ability to commercialize Jeuveau in the United States and generate revenue; and (5) that any revenues generated from the sale of Jeuveau were based on Evolus’ unlawful actions, including the misappropriation of trade secrets and secret manufacturing processes belonging to Allergan and Medytox; and (6) that, as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Dec. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Climate First Bank (In Organization), a values-based institution, today announces the lease execution of its flagship location in downtown St. Petersburg located at 5301 Central Avenue. The bank plans to open the location in Q2 2021.

“I was attracted to St. Pete’s environmental ethos that aligns with our core bank values, so I’m eager to offer the Bay Area community a new conscious way of banking,” said Ken LaRoe, founder and CEO of Climate First Bank (I/O). “This milestone makes us one step closer to serving small businesses and professions as a community bank.” LaRoe is an experienced banker, having founded two previous banks: Florida Choice Bank and First GREEN Bank.

“The St. Pete community is very familiar with intensifying hurricanes and coastline erosion,” said LaRoe. “We want to work hand in hand with the city in the fight against climate crisis and set an example of how a local community bank with core environmental values can pave the way for fighting a global emergency.”

Climate First Bank (I/O) will support consumers, communities and the planet by implementing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles to operate as a vehicle for positive change. The institution will offer standard, traditional banking services enhanced by modern technology to provide consumers with a seamless mobile and digital experience.

CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Shaw Communications Inc. today announced the launch of a faster, further-reaching Fibre+ WiFi Pod across its Western Canadian footprint that offers Shaw Fibre+ Internet customers more consistent WiFi coverage throughout their home by reducing WiFi dead spots.

The next-generation Fibre+ WiFi Pod is faster than the original — and, with more range, creates a whole-home mesh network that offers the average home seamless connectivity with a single Pod instead of three.

“The launch of next-generation Fibre+ WiFi Pods marks the latest way that Shaw is making superior home connectivity products available to customers. Working with the Shaw Gateway modem, our new Pod provides better in-home WiFi coverage in those hard-to-reach places,” said Paul Deverell, President, Consumer, Shaw Communications. “It means our customers can continue to enjoy ultrafast connectivity — whether they’re streaming videos in the basement, gaming in the family room, or hosting a videoconference meeting in the office.”

Similar to the first-generation devices, the new Fibre+ WiFi Pod works as an extension of the Shaw Gateway modem to deliver WiFi to all corners of the home, including places where it is difficult to get coverage because of signal-blocking building materials or home design. Unlike some third-party WiFi repeaters, Shaw customers connect to their same home Shaw network (SSID) as they normally would regardless of where they are in the house.

To create a better experience, the next-generation Fibre+ WiFi Pod comes with a tri-band WiFi radio that is capable of delivering high speeds to more connected devices, as well as two ethernet ports that allow customers to hardwire devices to their Pod, if needed.

The Shaw Fibre+ WiFi Pod is easy to install in an indoor electrical outlet with no technician needed. Customers will receive a self-connect kit with simple instructions on how to activate their Shaw Fibre+ WiFi Pod using the Shaw Home app. The Shaw Fibre+ WiFi Pod comes online within seconds of installation and the network optimizes itself for maximum performance.

Shaw’s next-generation Fibre+ WiFi Pod is available today for Shaw Fibre+ Internet customers in B.C., Alberta, and Saskatchewan. The new-and-improved Shaw Fibre+ WiFi Pod was made available to customers in Manitoba and Ontario in September 2020.

Fibre+ WiFi Pods are available to new and existing customers who want to upgrade at a rental cost of $10 per month for the first device.

Customers who live in larger homes can rent additional Shaw Fibre+ WiFi Pods for $5 per device. Alternatively, customers can purchase a Fibre+ WiFi Pod starting at $199 plus taxes.

Customers can find additional pricing and service details, as well as order online, by visiting Shaw.ca/Pods.

The introduction of advanced Shaw Fibre+ WiFi Pods is another way Shaw continues to meet the needs of today’s increasingly connected homes.

In November, Shaw launched its fastest internet tier, Fibre+ Gig 1.5, and it continues to offer gigabit download speeds to more than 99 per cent of its customers in its Western Canadian footprint.

Shaw is Western Canada’s leader in gig speed internet, with ultrafast gigabit download speeds available to a million more homes than TELUS.

Shaw has invested more than $32 billion over the last eight years to build, upgrade and expand its Fast LTE and Fibre+ networks and services.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chi-Cal Rivers Fund partners today announced seven projects selected to receive $1.6 million in grant funding to improve and enhance waterways in the Chicago-Calumet region. These investments will enhance fish and wildlife habitat, reduce stormwater runoff, and improve access to and use of natural areas and greenspace for communities. The grants will generate $1.9 million in matching contributions, for a total conservation impact of $3.5 million.

Administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), the fund is supported in 2020 with contributions from ArcelorMittal, BNSF Railway, Crown Family Philanthropies, the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation, The Joyce Foundation, the Walder Foundation, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Forest Service. The awards announced today mark the fund’s seventh annual slate of grants, bringing its total cumulative impact to $32 million.

“The Chi-Cal Rivers Fund continues to demonstrate the vital role of public-private partnerships and their unique ability to create lasting benefits for wildlife habitat and for communities at a regional scale,” said Jeff Trandahl, executive director and CEO of NFWF. “The projects awarded today will continue to build on our previous restoration efforts in the Calumet region and will add new resilient green infrastructure and additional green space to benefit local communities.”

The seven grants announced today will: restore wetland habitat to benefit migratory birds and marsh-nesting birds such as least bittern and pied-billed grebe; install green stormwater infrastructure that reduces runoff and creates community greenspaces to enhance resident’s quality of life; and, continue to improve habitat in Chicago and Northwest Indiana through tree planting and invasive species control. Collectively, the funded projects will:

• Restore and enhance 70 acres of wetland and upland habitat
• Plant more than 500 trees for habitat and increased stormwater capacity
• Add more than 2.89 million gallons of stormwater storage
• Create 2.7 acres of neighborhood greenspace

“We value this important partnership to achieve the joint goals of improving the health of the region’s watersheds and enhancing their value to the many diverse communities along our rivers, said David Farren, executive director of the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation. “By leveraging our collective funds, we can accomplish more, and learn from each other, as well as our grantees, in the process.”

“The Joyce Foundation is committed to supporting projects that reduce flooding and make our region’s waterways healthier. Chi Cal projects are improving Chicago’s rivers for today and for the next generation,” said Elizabeth Cisar, Co-Director, Environment for The Joyce Foundation.

“BNSF supports efforts to help improve quality of life for communities and so we appreciate being part of this public private partnership that enhances river quality and stormwater management,” said Peter Skosey, Executive Director Public Affairs, BNSF Railway.

“The U.S. Forest Service is proud to be part of the Chi-Cal Rivers Fund and is pleased to see these exciting projects get funded,” said Carleen Yocum, Northeastern Area Midwest Field Representative for the U.S. Forest Service. “We believe that nature based green infrastructure projects, such as tree planting in strategic locations, are an important part of the solution for managing our region’s stormwater and flooding challenges.”

Chi-Cal Rivers Fund 2020 grant recipients include:

• National Audubon Society, Inc., to restore and develop public access to Deadstick Pond and adjoining riverfront trail in Illinois, greatly expanding marshbird habitat, greenspace connectivity and recreational access in the Calumet Region.
• The Wetlands Initiative, to restore a floodplain corridor along the West Branch of the Little Calumet River in northwestern Indiana to benefit rare wetland-dependent birds and the surrounding underserved communities.
• Lake County Forest Preserve District, to improve hydrologic function and habitat diversity along the North Branch of the Chicago River in Illinois by removing or disabling more than 5,000 linear feet of drain tile and clearing invasive species across 146 acres of Prairie Wolf Forest Preserve.
• NeighborSpace, to install green stormwater infrastructure at the Calumet River Gateway Garden in South Chicago.
• The Nature Conservancy, to install green stormwater infrastruction to help establish StormStore – a regional stormwater credit trading market – to incentivize stormwater trading and encourage stormwater infrastructure in locations where it would provide the greatest impact for communities in Cook County, Illinois.
• The Student Conservation Association, to reduce stormwater runoff and create urban habitat by planting 500 new trees in Northwest Indiana.
• Friends of the Forest Preserves, to fortify and expand the Centennial Volunteers program at seven forest preserves to increase invasive species control work and improve restoration management in Illinois.
