NEW YORK, May 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) between June 1, 2023 and April 16, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important June 24, 2024 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Autodesk 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 Autodesk class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=24019 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@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 June 24, 2024. 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 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 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 materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Autodesk, Inc. lacked adequate internal controls as a result of issues with its free cash flow and non-GAAP operating margin practices; and (2) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all 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 bluebird common stock 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 bluebird class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=23717 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements. Specifically, defendants created the false impression that: (1) bluebird could obtain Federal Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for lovo-cel, a gene therapy for sickle cell patients, without any black box warnings for haematological malignancies; (2) bluebird would be granted a priority review voucher by the FDA and in turn sell it in order to strengthen bluebird’s financial position for the lovo-cel launch; (3) as a result, bluebird had significantly overstated Lyfgenia’s clinical and/or commercial prospects; and (4) therefore, bluebird’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

VXX DEADLINE ALERT: ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Barclays PLC Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important May 20 Deadline in Securities Class Action – VXX

NEW YORK, May 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds acquirers of a short position in Barclays’ iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Exchange Traded Note (“ETN”) under the symbol “VXXB” (hereinafter “VXX”) due to selling VXX ETNs, selling VXX call options, and/or buying VXX put options and who held that position as of the close of market on March 13, 2022, of the important May 20, 2024 lead plaintiff deadline.

The case is against Barclays PLC, Barclays Bank PLC, James E. Staley, Tushar Morzaria, and C.S. Venkatakrishnan (together, “Defendants”).

SO WHAT: If you acquired a short position of VXX ETNs 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 Barclays class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=23523 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

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, Barclays failed to inform investors and the market that it had not implemented any internal controls to monitor the issuances of securities from its shelf registrations, and that it had issued and sold billions of dollars of unregistered securities, including VXX ETNs, in violation of the federal securities registration laws. Barclays illegally sold over $17 billion of unregistered securities over approximately 18 months. Once its misconduct came to light, Barclays had to suddenly and without warning suspend any further issuances and sales of new VXX ETNs. This suspension of sales, which was announced just before the market opened on March 14, 2022, caused the market price of VXX to skyrocket and investors who were short VXX to suffer substantial losses.

Jordan showcases tourism potential at Arabian Travel Market Exhibition in Dubai


Amman: Jordan has successfully wrapped up its participation in the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) exhibition held in Dubai, with representation by the Jordan Tourism Board (JTB).

According to a JTB statement on Sunday, the four-day event, which ran from May 6th to May 9th, featured the participation of 10 tourism companies and hotels from Jordan, alongside representatives from the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority and Royal Jordanian Airlines.

JTB Managing Director, Abdelrazzaq Arabiyat, highlighted the significance of ATM as a pivotal platform for bolstering the travel and tourism sector in the region. He emphasized its role in attracting leading industry figures, experts, and decision-makers from across the globe, facilitating networking opportunities, and fostering collaborations.

He added that Jordan’s presence at the exhibition focused on forging partnerships with international tourism sectors, particularly with global airlines, Gulf-based tourism and travel agencies, and hotels. “Efforts were also d
irected towards promoting Jordan as a premier tourist destination in regional and international markets, with a specific emphasis on the Gulf region, given the recent uptick in tourism to the Kingdom,” he said.

The Jordanian delegation underscored the diversity of tourism experiences available in Jordan, ranging from medical and cultural tourism to historical and adventure tourism. Additionally, discussions centered on marketing strategies aimed at positioning Jordan as an attractive destination for family tourism from the Gulf.

Oman pavilion takes center stage amid Qatar international book fair

Oman’s pavilion is at the center of attention as the International Book Fair in the Qatari capital Doha on Sunday, with Muscat named as the guest of honor in the 33rd edition of the event.

The special distinction given to the Gulf Arab Sultanate is a testament to the camaraderie it shares with Gulf Arab neighbor Qatar, with the Omani booth set up at the event displaying a wide array of cultural and traditional works by famed Omani authors.

In addition to a litany of Omani authors represented at Muscat’s pavilion, a plethora of Omani state bodies and institutions are also taking part, while a separate exhibition interspersed into the book fair is shedding light on tourism boom Muscat has recently witnessed, thanks in part to some beguiling destinations it has to offer.

Qatari musicians have not been left out of the limelight as well, with a slew of Muscat-based bands, including a renowned symphony orchestra, joining the festivities in a bid to give greater exposure to Omani culture and tradition.

Qatar’s P
rime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad bin Abdulrahamn had opened the book fair three days earlier in the capital Doha, which runs until May 18.
