“This custom interior is made possible by the expert upholstery team at E.C.D.,” said E.C.D. Co-Founder Elliot Humble. “Our world-class team tailors every seat, steering wheel and door by hand. The Spinneybeck Copenhagen leather on Project Mr. O with vintage fluted style stitching pulls the whole build together in a uniquely E.C.D. way.”

The Carlton James Group first-backed technology company The Coretec Group (OTCQB: CRTG) goes from strength to strength following the release of its video demonstrating the process and market potential for Endurion, its Lithium-ion based silicon battery program

The Coretec Group’s development of its own unique chemical materials shows unicorn potential with their Endurion battery. Releasing an explainer video that shows that the battery has the potential to significantly increase longevity, speed of charge, and storage capacity of lithium batteries. This complementary technology could revolutionise the battery sector without the need for a complete overhaul of the industry.

The Coretec Group is aiming its resources at the Electric Vehicle (EV) market place and as a result is gaining the attention worldwide of major EV manufacturers.  Heavy reliance on batteries for future sustainability is driving the global lithium silicon battery market, one that is estimated to grow from $10m USD in 2022 to $247m USD by 2030. This growth is why investment in complementary technology is a core objective of the Carlton James Diversified Alpha Fund strategy.

ROYAL WOOTTON BASSETT, United Kingdom, Dec. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Carlton James Group, an investment management group specialising in recession-resistant portfolios and venture debt, is excited to see its first-backed technology company, The Coretec Group, achieving yet another of its milestones with the successful progress of its Endurion lithium silicon battery program. To learn more about The Coretec Group, please watch this short informative video.

The Coretec (CRTG) journey with the Carlton James Group started in 2016, as The Coretec Group became the first major technology sector lending investment for Carlton James. From the very beginning, Carlton James Group saw the clear potential of the engineering expertise within The Coretec Group, and its potential for adding value to the EV and energy supply chain.

Since then, The Coretec Group has gone from strength to strength, with acquisitions, a reverse-merger, and a growing team of engineers, expanding the expertise of their unique chemical developments. This has enabled more research & development to be undertaken by The Coretec Group in this extremely high value sector.

The launch of its Endurion battery program in early 2022 saw a natural progression that has led to contact from some of the world’s leading electric vehicle manufacturers, opening doors for The Coretec Group to become leaders in the field of EV lithium silicon battery technology. In the first quarter of 2023 it is expected that we should see this hard work on the battery lead to further validation in the industry and a strengthened patent portfolio, paving the way for the group to move forward with its partnerships in the EV marketplace.

“The Coretec Group shares our vision of the most effective way to bring new technologies into the market. By developing technology that can enhance existing products in the market you have accessible scalability across many sectors,” said Bob Pain, Chairman of The Carlton James Group.

“It is important to us that any technology investment we make is easily adopted and complementary to the existing marketplace, therefore increasing the opportunity for a higher return on investment due to having more potential customers. This is what The Coretec Group is doing. You can see this from their overview video, which is a great way of learning what they do and understanding its market opportunity.’’

FXLV LOSS ALERT: ROSEN, A LONGSTANDING LAW FIRM, Encourages F45 Training Holdings Inc. Investors with Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – FXLV

NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY:  Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the securities of F45 Training Holdings Inc. (NYSE: FXLV) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and related prospectus issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering conducted in July 2021 (the “IPO” or “Offering”). If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than February 6, 2023.

SO WHAT: If you purchased F45 securities 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 F45 class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9602 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 February 6, 2023. 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. 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, the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate the Company’s IPO contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and was not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing its preparation. Specifically, the offering documents made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) F45’s rapid growth strategy was unsustainable, reliant on, among other things, franchisees opening multiple locations in a short period of time and/or dependent on franchisees who required near 100% financing of their operations in order to open for business; and (2) as a result, the offering documents misrepresented and failed to disclose material adverse facts pertaining to the Company’s business, operations, and prospects.

To join the F45 Training class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9602 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.

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.

ROSEN, GLOBALLY RECOGNIZED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Torrid Holdings Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – CURV

NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Torrid Holdings (NYSE: CURV) pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering conducted in July 2021 (the “IPO”), of the important January 17, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Torrid securities 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 Torrid class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9874 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 January 17, 2023. 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, the IPO’s offering documents failed to disclose the following material facts: (1) in the first half of 2021, Torrid had experienced a temporary surge in demand as a result of changed consumer behaviors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and government stimulus and that such ephemeral demand trends had dissipated and were not internally projected to continue following the IPO; (2) Torrid was suffering from severe supply chain disruptions caused by the emergence of the Delta variant of COVID-19, which had first emerged in May 2021; (3) Torrid was running materially below historical inventory levels as a result of supply chain disruptions; (4) as a result, Torrid did not have sufficient inventory to meet expected consumer demand for its fiscal third quarter of 2021; (5) as a result, late inventory arrival had materially impaired the Company from effectively matching consumer buying trends, creating an undisclosed risk of increased markdowns and promotional activities necessary to sell undesirable inventory; (6) Torrid’s CFO planned to retire shortly after the IPO; and (7) as a result of the above, the Registration Statement’s representations regarding Torrid’s historical financial and operational metrics and purported market opportunities did not accurately reflect the actual business, operations, financial results, and trajectory of the Company at the time of the IPO, and were materially false and misleading and lacked a reasonable factual basis.

To join the Torrid class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9874 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 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, the registration statement supporting the IPO and defendants’ statements throughout the Class Period were false and/or misleading and/or failed to disclose that defendants: (1) inflated FIGS’ true ability to successfully secure repeat customers; (2) failed to disclose FIGS’ increasing dependence on air freight; and (3) inflated the expected net revenues, gross margin, and adjusted EBITDA margin for 2022. 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.

Hitachi Energy selected as technology partner to support the transmission of renewable power between Canada and the United States

Substantial modernization of a key transmission system in Canada will support the transfer of electricity between Montreal and New York.

Zurich, Switzerland, Dec. 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hitachi Energy, a global technology leader that is advancing a sustainable energy future for all, today announced that it has been selected by Hydro-Québec for its high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology for the transmission of electricity, which will ensure the sustainability of the energy exchange between the Quebec network, in eastern Canada, and New York State in the northeastern United States.

Hydro-Québec, the largest hydroelectricity producer in Canada and one of the largest hydroelectricity producers in the world, is a public company that generates, transmits, and distributes reliable, clean and renewable electricity in Québec. Thanks to its surplus energy, it supplies the Canadian provinces and the northeastern United States.

The Châteauguay HVDC system will enable the transmission of up to 1,500 megawatts of electricity between the electrical networks of Quebec and the state of New York which will contribute to maintaining a low carbon footprint in the region. This new system will replace existing equipment which has been in operation since 1984*1, increasing the efficiency and controllability, plus raising the power conversion capacity of the Châteauguay HVDC system*2 by 50 percent.

*1 Châteauguay “back-to-back” HVDC converter station

*2 Subject to authorization by the Régie de l’énergie du Québec of the project to replace the converter units at Châteauguay substation.

“We are proud to be returning to the Chateauguay HVDC station, after helping to build it almost four decades ago,” said Niklas Persson, Managing Director of Hitachi Energy’s Grid Integration business. “This new system represents an important enhancement to the ability to transmit large-scale hydro power between Canada and the United States, which will support the shift away from fossil fuel.”

Hitachi Energy is supplying a “back-to-back” converter station, which converts AC power to DC then reconverts it to AC from DC enabling the interconnection of the 735 kilovolt Canadian and 765 kilovolt New York grids which are “out of phase” and cannot be connected directly via traditional AC systems.

Note to editors:

Hitachi Energy’s HVDC solution combines world-leading expertise in HVDC converter valves; the MACH™ digital control platform*3, which enables renewables integration and manages voltage and frequency disturbances in the grid; converter power transformers and high-voltage switchgear; as well as system studies, design and engineering, supply, installation supervision and commissioning.

*3 Modular Advanced Control for HVDC (MACH™)

HVDC Light® is a voltage source converter technology developed by Hitachi Energy. It is the preferred technology for many grid applications, including interconnecting countries, integrating renewables and “power-from-shore” connections to offshore production facilities. HVDC Light’s defining features include uniquely compact converter stations and exceptionally low electrical losses.

Hitachi Energy pioneered commercial HVDC technology almost 70 years ago and has delivered more than half of the world’s HVDC projects.
