AKBA INVESTOR NOTICE: ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – AKBA

NEW YORK, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKBA) between June 28, 2018 and September 2, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important May 13, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Akebia 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 Akebia class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit–form/?case_id=4028 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll–free at 866–767–3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com 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 May 13, 2022. 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 handle 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 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) vadadustat was not as safe in treating NDD–CKD patients with anemia as defendants had represented; (2) as a result, defendants overstated the PRO2TECT Program's clinical prospects; (3) accordingly, defendants also overstated vadadustat's overall commercial and regulatory prospects; and (4) as a result, Akebia's 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.

SO WHAT: If you purchased TAL Education 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 TAL Education class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit–form/?case_id=3137 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll–free at 866–767–3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

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) TAL Education's revenue and operational growth was the result of deceptive marketing tactics and illicit business practices that flouted Chinese laws, regulations, and policies, and exposed TAL Education to an extreme risk that more draconian measures would be imposed on TAL Education; (2) TAL Education had engaged in misleading and fraudulent advertising practices, including the provision of false and misleading discount information designed to obfuscate the true cost of TAL Education's programs to its customers, the creation of fake customer reviews designed to fraudulently lure new customers to TAL Education programs, the misrepresentation of teacher qualifications and course qualities, and the marketing of rigged promotional events; (3) TAL Education had defied Chinese policies designed to alleviate the burden imposed by tutoring services on students and their families, including by imposing hefty advances and recurring debt payments on course enrollees, by offering courses designed to give affluent students unfair advantages, by holding courses outside of allowable tutoring hours, and by linking for–profit courses to government–mandated schooling; (4) as a result, TAL Education was subject to an extreme undisclosed risk of adverse enforcement actions, regulatory fines, and penalties, and the imposition of new rules and regulations adverse to TAL Education's business and financial interests; and (5) consequently, TAL Education's historical growth was not sustainable or the result of legitimate business tactics as represented, and defendants' positive statements about TAL Education's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and lacked a reasonable factual basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Nyxoah Reports Full Year 2021 Operating and Financial Results

REGULATED INFORMATION

Nyxoah Reports Full Year 2021 Operating and Financial Results

Mont–Saint–Guibert, Belgium "" March 24, 2022, 9:30pm CET / 4:30pm ET "" Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH) ("Nyxoah" or the "Company"), a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), today reported financial and operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2021.

Full Year 2021 Operational and Financial Highlights

  • Generated revenue of 852,000 from the commercialization of Genio in Europe, mainly in Germany; gross margin was 64.4%
  • Achieved strong commercial progress in Germany after obtaining a DRG code for the Genio system
  • Obtained DRG coding in Switzerland and hospital reimbursement in Spain; awaiting reimbursement decisions in other key European markets
  • Reported positive data from the BETTER SLEEP clinical trial, which achieved its primary safety and performance endpoints, with statistically significant reduction in baseline AHI scores for the overall study and the complete concentric collapse (CCC) and non–CCC patient cohorts; per the Sher criteria, after 6 months, achieved responder rates of 64% for the entire population (CCC and non–CCC), 60% for the CCC cohort, and 67% for the non–CCC cohort
  • Received expanded CE mark indication to treat CCC patients, thus increasing the total addressable market by at least 30% and enabling patients not to have to undergo a Drug–Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) procedure prior to implantation
  • Granted U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for the treatment of adult patients with moderate–to–severe OSA and CCC; awaiting IDE approval to commence a trial for CCC patients in the U.S. in late 2022
  • Advanced patient enrollment in the DREAM U.S. IDE study, with implants expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2022
  • Raised $97.8 million in a Nasdaq initial public offering in July, successfully completing Nyxoah's second IPO after previously raising 84.8 million in the September 2020 Euronext Brussels IPO
  • Entered exclusive licensing agreement with Vanderbilt University (US) to develop next generation neurostimulation technologies, specifically a novel stimulator focused on the Ansa Cervicalis nerve, which could further expand the eligible to treat OSA patient population.

"2021 was a very strong year for Nyxoah. I am proud of the team maintaining their focus on execution while operating in a challenging market environment. We reached numerous milestones in 2021 and feel we are well positioned to further build on this momentum in 2022," commented Olivier Taelman, Nyxoah's Chief Executive Officer. "Through the BETTER SLEEP study results, we are now able to offer an effective solution for CCC patients with an expanded CE mark indication in Europe, and we are working hard to initiate a CCC–focused IDE trial in the US. Particularly encouraging are the strong responder rates in all patient cohorts, further increasing our confidence in positive outcomes from the ongoing DREAM study."

"We have also been happy with our commercial progress in Europe, focusing on Germany, where we obtained a dedicated DRG code." continued Mr. Taelman. "We already had 12 active implant sites in December 2021 and continue to expand rapidly. In addition, we have secured a DRG code in Switzerland and hospital reimbursement in Spain while we await final reimbursement decisions in the Netherlands and Belgium. Our commercial strategy is based on a deep understanding of the patient journey, building strong relationships with implanting surgeons and further strengthening their relationships with referring sleep physicians, in combination with digital marketing programs."

Mr. Taelman continued, "We secured CE mark MR conditional labeling for Genio , enabling all implanted patients to safely undergo 1.5T and 3T MRI diagnostics scans. Genio is now the only HGNS device with an MRI compatibility label for full–body and 3T. This illustrates our patient–centric strategy, and you can soon expect to hear more on the progress made by our R&D team. Short term, we expect to launch the next generation Genio 2.1, which includes a patient–centric smartphone app and will incorporate a position sensor to adjust stimulation levels based on sleeping position. Looking further into the future, we are proud of our collaboration with Vanderbilt University and Dr. Kent that should result in novel treatment options for OSA patients, starting with Ansa Cervicalis stimulation."

"With our second successful IPO in the span of 10 months last July, we have a strong balance sheet that provides ample liquidity to complete the DREAM study, conduct our U.S. CCC IDE study, invest in pre–commercial activities in the U.S., and remain committed to our important R&D priorities. We are extremely excited about where we are today as a company, and we look forward to providing further updates as the year progresses," concluded Mr. Taelman.

Revenue

Revenue was 852,000 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, compared to 69,000 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020. The increase in revenue was attributable to the Company's commercialization of the Genio system, primarily in Germany. Revenue for the second half of 2021 was 497,000, a 40.0% increase versus the first half of the year despite COVID–related headwinds during the fourth quarter.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold was 303,000 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, representing a gross profit of 549,000, or gross margin of 64.4%. This compares to total costs of goods sold of 30,000 in the 2020, for a gross profit of 39,000, or gross margin of 56.5%.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses rose to 11.1 million for the full year ending December 31, 2021, from 7.5 million in the prior year. This was due primarily to increased commercial efforts in Germany and other European markets, as well as investments in Nyxoah's corporate infrastructure. The Company expects to continue adding headcount across the organization ahead of U.S. commercial launch.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and Development expenses were 2.4 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, a substantial increase over the 0.5 million for the prior year, reflecting the ongoing research and development activities, most notably the development of next generation versions of the Genio system. As of January 2021, the Company started to amortize its intangible assets, which explains the significant increase in depreciation expenses for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, compared to the twelve months ending December 31, 2020.

Clinical Expenses

Clinical expenses increased to 2.7 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, from 1.1 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020. Total clinical expenses were 9.5 million, of which 6.8 million was capitalized, reflecting an increase in staff and consulting to support the completion of the BETTER SLEEP trial implantations, continuous recruitment for the EliSA trial, and the ongoing DREAM IDE trial in the United States.

Manufacturing Expenses

Manufacturing expenses increased to 4.8 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, from 0.5 million for the twelve months ending December 30, 2020, due mainly to increased demand for our Genio system for both commercial and non–commercial purposes.

Quality Assurance and Regulatory Expenses

Quality assurance and regulatory expenses of 1.5 million for the year ending December 31, 2021, were up significantly from 0.2 million for the year ending December 31, 2020, to support the scale–up of operations.

Patent Fees & Related Expenses

Patents fees and related expenses increased from 0.1 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020, to 1.1 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, due to expenses related to the exclusive licensing agreement with Vanderbilt University.

Therapy Development Expenses

Therapy development expenses were 3.6 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, versus 1.9 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020. The increase in expenses was mainly driven by the scale–up of commercial operations in Europe.

Operating Loss

The Company realized a net loss of 27.6 million for the full year ending December 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of 12.2 million for the full year ending December 31, 2020, due to increases of activities in all departments.

Cash Position

Cash and cash equivalents totaled 135.5 million on December 31, 2021, as compared to 92.3 million on December 31, 2020. The increase was due primarily to total gross proceeds of $97.8 million generated from the July 2021 IPO.

Net cash used in operations was 25.3 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, compared to 6.9 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net loss for the period that was mainly attributable to increased general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, manufacturing expenses and therapy development expenses, which were offset by a positive variation in the working capital of 1.1 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was 11.8 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, compared 10.7 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020.

Net cash generated in financing activities for the twelve months ending December 31, 2021, was 76.5 compared to 104.0 million of net cash provided by financing activities during the twelve months ending December 31, 2020.

Outlook for 2022

The Company's business, operational, and clinical outlook for 2022 include the following expected milestones and goals:

  • Completing DREAM trial implants in the second quarter of 2022
  • Continuing commercial execution in Germany
  • Commencing a U.S. IDE study for CCC patients in the fourth quarter of 2022

FXCM February Single Share & Stock Baskets Report

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FXCM Group, LLC ("FXCM Group' or "FXCM'), the leading international provider of online foreign exchange trading, CFD trading, cryptocurrencies and related services, is today releasing its data of most popular instruments for the month of February in its Single Share CFD and proprietary Stock Basket product lines.

FXCM offers fractional single share trading with no commission fees* on leading companies from the US, UK, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Australia. FXCM's stock basket products combine the shares of multiple companies from one sector into a single tradeable instrument. The company currently boasts a portfolio of 16 stock baskets. The list of companies and weightings is available on FXCM's stock basket website (https://www.fxcm.com/za/stock–baskets/).

The top of the most traded stocks in February saw little change, but the bottom part of the list contains some bolters. EV company Rivian's continual steep decline caught the attention of FXCM traders as they try to catch some of the action of a company that only a few months ago was trading above $170 but has declined over $100 since December. Last month also saw the return of Google and Pfizer to the top ten.

On the stock basket side, Crypto Stocks continues its steady rise up the ranks since its recent product launch, largely at the expense of the Chinese–focused baskets, which have declined to their lowest positions since inception. But it was the drastic rise of pandemic impacted baskets WFH and Travel that catches the eye, as the global restriction from the Omicron variant diminishes and traders try to ride the wave of the potential impact on the respective baskets.

Global Center on Adaptation showcases findings of Ghana’s National Assessment to Enhance the Resilience of its National Infrastructure Systems

Accra, March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During a Ministerial Dialogue in Accra, hosted by Ghana's Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Environment (MESTI), the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) announced the findings of Ghana's first National Assessment to explore how best to enhance the resilience of its national infrastructure.

"Ghana: Roadmap for Resilient Infrastructure in a Changing Climate", was initiated by GCA and developed under the leadership of MESTI in collaboration with the University of Oxford, the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

As a result of climate change, Ghana is expected to experience more acute climate hazards such as flooding, as well as more frequent and intense droughts. This has the potential to threaten the socio–economic development gains which made Ghana a middle–income country. The National Assessment focused on the energy, transport and water sectors to assess climate hazards to infrastructure assets and to prioritize adaptation investments to address those risks.

Key findings from "Ghana: Roadmap for Resilient Infrastructure in a Changing Climate" include:

  • Energy ""Future energy availability for about a quarter of a million people in rural parts of Ghana is threatened by drought given their reliance on wood fuel for household energy generation. Equally, climate risks threaten major components of the electricity generation and transmission due to exposure to drought and flooding.
  • Water supply infrastructure "" 54% of dams assessed are exposed to floods and 23% to droughts under a high–hazard by 2050; the Weija dam, supplying 80% of the drinkable water for Accra's metropolitan area, was found to be particularly exposed to flooding.
  • Transport "" in a likely 2050 flooding scenario, analysis revealed the potential of $3.9 billion in damages to roads and highways – triple the estimated $1.3 billion Ghana invested in transport infrastructure in 2019.

GCA contributed to the National Assessment as part of its Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program (AAAP), a joint initiative with the African Development Bank to mobilize USD25 billion of investments in climate adaptation and resilience in Africa.

Speaking during the Ministerial Dialogue, Professor Patrick Verkooijen, CEO of Global Center on Adaptation remarked "I don't need to remind you that Ghana will become hotter, wetter, and drier. Given how we know the climate crisis is evolving, these are very alarming statistics. But, this is not the full story. For us at the Global Center on Adaptation, the real story on climate adaptation in Africa is a story of resilience, of responsibility, of solidarity, of opportunities for a safer, greener, more prosperous continent. It is this story that is captured in the roadmap we are launching today."

His Excellency Dr Kwaku Afiyie, Ghana's Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation said:

"Extreme weather and rapid changes to Ghana's climate present a profound risk to key sectors of Ghana's socio–economic development. Infrastructure in these sectors are the bedrock of the country's economic growth and development. Ghana, through MESTI in July 2020, received support from the Global Centre on Adaptation (GCA) through UN Office for Project Services (UNOPs) under the "enhancing the resilience of Ghana's National Infrastructure Systems to the impact of climate change" project ["] the implementation of the resilience road map will now require additional financial resources from both Government and Development Partner institutions."

The National Assessment proposes 35 adaptation options for funders and investors to invest in Ghana's future, offering impactful, evidence–based adaptation projects and enabling environment interventions backed by robust research and analysis.

GCA, in partnership with the African Development Bank (AfDB), through AAAP, is already working to implement the Scaling Renewable Energy Mini grid and Net Metering Program which seeks to support Ghana in the electrification of island communities and move closer moving closer to identified development objectives such as Sustainable Energy for All by 2030. GCA is working with the AfDB conduct climate risk assessments on potential climate hazards in the districts that will benefit from the electrification program.

Through its Technical Assistance Program (TAP) to access and leverage climate finance, GCA is also providing technical support to the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) as part of its application to become a Direct Access Entity to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to enable Ghana to be able to take greater ownership of the implementation of climate finance.
