A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 6, 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, Solana issues securities that are required to be, but are not, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Throughout the Class Period, defendants promoted SOL securities (SOL tokens) and sold them to investors, who has suffered losses from purchasing SOL securities.

To join the SOL class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=7539 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.

‫ دار سك العملة الكندية تصدر تقرير الأرباح والأداء للربع الثاني من العام 2022

أوتاوا، أونتاريو، 20 أغسطس 2022 / PRNewswire / — يسر دار سك العملة الملكية الكندية (“دار سك العملة”) الإعلان عن نتائجها المالية للربع الثاني من العام 2022 التي توفر معلومات عن أنشطتنا والأسواق التي تؤثر على أعمالنا التجارية وتوقعاتنا لفترة الـ 12 شهرا المقبلة.

وفي هذا السياق قالت ماري ليماي، الرئيس والمدير التنفيذي لمؤسسة سك العملة الكندية الملكية: «تواصل دار سك العملة إظهار المرونة والاستقرار من خلال تحقيق نتائج قوية في خضم الظروف الصعبة التي تشهدها الأسواق». وأضافت: «إن الاستجابة المتميزة لمجموعتنا من العملات الجديدة أوبيولنس كوليكشن ( Opulence Collection ) قد جعلت دار سك العملة تستقطب فئة جديدة من العملاء. وسنستمر في تلبية احتياجات العملاء في جميع أعمالنا حيث نسعى جاهدين للوصول إلى جماهير جديدة واغتنام الفرص الجديدة».

يجب قراءة النتائج المالية إلى جانب التقرير السنوي لدار سك العملة والمتوفر على www.mint.ca . جميع المبالغ النقدية هي بالدولار الكندي، ما لم يذكر خلاف ذلك.

أبرز الملامح المالية والتشغيلية

جاءت النتائج المالية للربع الثاني من عام 2022 تجسيدًا لما هو متوقع نظرًا للأداء الاستثنائي الذي تحقق في عام 2021، والصيانة التشغيلية التي تقرر تنفيذها في عام 2022. وتتوقع دار سك العملة أن تحقق ما يفوق أهدافها المالية لعام 2022، على النحو الوارد في خطة أعمالها.
ومقارنة بعام 2021، الذي أسفر عن نتائج فردية، انخفضت إيرادات دار سك العملة بنسبة 12٪ بينما انخفضت الربحية الإجمالية على أساس ربع سنوي نظرًا لانخفاض أحجام مبيعات سبائك الذهب وارتفاع مصاريف التشغيل.
انخفضت الإيرادات الموحدة إلى 841.9 مليون دولار في العام 2022 (2021 – 953.5 مليون دولار).
وانخفضت الإيرادات من أعمال المعادن الثمينة إلى 793.6 مليون دولار في عام 2022 (2021- 905.4 مليون دولار):
- وانخفضت أحجام مبيعات سبائك الذهب بنسبة 20% وبلغت 357.0 ألف أوقية (2021 – 448.7 ألف أوقية) بينما ارتفعت أحجام مبيعات سبائك الفضة 8% على أساس ربع سنوي وبلغت 9.6 مليون أوقية (2021 – 9.0 مليون أوقية).
- ارتفعت مبيعات منتجات السك من دار سك العملة إلى 31.9 مليون دولارًا في عام 2022 (2021 – 24.8 مليون دولار) بسبب ارتفاع المبيعات من مجموعة العملات المعدنية الجديدة أوبيولنس من دار سك العملة وعملات إعادة البيع المعدنية الدولية ومنتجات السبائك المتميزة.
- وارتفعت الإيرادات من أعمال التداول إلى 48.3 مليون دولار في عام 2022 (2021 – 48.1 مليون دولار):
- ارتفعت الإيرادات من منتجات وخدمات تداول العملات الكندية بنسبة 14٪ على أساس ربع سنوي من إنتاج العملات لتجديد مستويات مخزون التداول الكندي المحتفظ به نيابة عن وزارة المالية بالإضافة إلى زيادة عدد الأطنان المترية التي تمت معالجتها خلال الفترة ضمن برنامج استعادة السبائك المعدنية.
- انخفضت الإيرادات من أعمال التدوير الخارجي بنسبة 11٪ على أساس ربع سنوي بسبب انخفاض حجم الإنتاج والشحن في عام 2022 مقارنة بعام 2021.
بشكل عام، زادت نفقات التشغيل بنسبة 13٪ على أساس ربع سنوي لتصل إلى 29.7 مليون دولار أمريكي (2021 – 26.2 مليون دولار أمريكي) ويرجع ذلك في الأساس إلى الزيادات المؤقتة وغير المؤقتة المقررة في النفقات لدعم تحول الأعمال، والقوى العاملة الشاملة والمشتركة، وإعادة الاتصال بعملاء دار سك العملة حول العالم.
وارتفع حجم النقد إلى 86.6 مليون دولار (31 ديسمبر 2021 – 69.3 مليون دولار).

كجزء من خطتها لاستمرارية الأعمال، تواصل دار سك العملة مراقبة سلسلة التوريد العالمية والشبكات اللوجستية لدعم عملياتها المستمرة. على الرغم من أنها تبذل قصارى جهدها، تتوقع دار سك النقود أن كوفيد-19 والمغايرات الناشئة والتضخم، فضلاً عن الأحداث الخارجية الأخرى في جميع أنحاء العالم، ستستمر في التأثير على أدائها في عام 2022. تواصل دار سك العملة العمل على التخفيف من المخاطر المحتملة عند ظهورها وإعطاء الأولوية لصحة وسلامة موظفيها، وتعديل بروتوكولات العمل الخاصة وفقًا لما تطلبه المقاطعات والسلطات الصحية المحلية.

Israeli settlers vandalize two shacks near Salfit

Extremist Israeli settlers vandalized two shacks today for two Palestinian brothers outside the village of Kafr al-Dik in the occupied West Bank province of Salfit, according to local sources.

Mohammad Naji, mayor of the village, told WAFA that a group of Israeli settlers were seen by local residents vandalizing and ransacking the two shacks, located in an open area outside the village. The two shacks belong to Hatem and Farah Qasem, two brothers from the village.

Israeli settler violence against Palestinians and their property is commonplace across the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli occupation authorities.

There are over 600,000 Israeli settlers living in colonial settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in violation of international law and consensus.

Israel’s top court rejects a petition against demolition of two schools, 32 homes in Masafer Yatta

The Supreme Israeli Court rejected today a petition demanding the abolition of an Israeli order to demolish two schools and 32 residential facilities in Masafer Yatta region, to the south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Nedal Younes, the head of the Masafer Yatta village council, told WAFA that the court rejected a petition submitted by residents of four communities in Masafer Yatta against the imminent Israeli demolition of two schools and about 32 shacks in Khirbet Al Fakheit and Jinba, two of about 20 hamlets forming the Masafer Yatta area.

He said the court’s order gives the Israeli army a green light to go ahead with the demolition of Palestinian structures and residential facilities in the area.

On May 4, the Israeli High Court gave the Israeli army the green light to demolish and displace over 1000 Palestinians living in some eight communities in Masafer Yatta in order to turn the area into a training and a firing zone.

The decision promoted strong local and international condemnation and warning of serious consequences if carried out.

Israel has been gradually demolishing homes and displacing families in several Masafer Yatta communities over the past few weeks.

Al-Haq says its director general received a threatening phone call from Israeli intelligence

The General Director of Al-Haq human rights organization, Shawan Jabarin, received a phone call today from a person introducing himself as captain Fahed of the Israeli Security Service, the Shabak, who demanded that Shawan arrives for interrogation at the Ofer military base of the Israeli occupying forces, located near Ramallah, the group said in a statement.

According to the statement, Shawan refused to comply and told the person he has no guarantees that he is a real person from the Shabak. The person then said he could send Shawan a message to whatsapp. Shawan responded that as an individual whose work is done in accordance with international law, he will not take the call seriously and that an official letter through a lawyer needs to be sent, or that the Israeli army could visit him in Ramallah, but that he will not go to Ofer.

The caller then told Shawan that Israel and the Israeli army have declared Al-Haq to be an illegal entity and a terrorist organization that was shut down and that Israel will not allow the organization to remain open and functioning. The caller then falsely claimed that Al-Haq has ties to the PFLP and that Shawan is a member of the PFLP.

Shawan responded that all these accusations are utter nonsense and complete lies and that Israel continues to fabricate allegations against Palestinian civil society organizations and human rights defenders. The caller then threatened Shawan that a price, including a personal price from Shawan, will be paid through imprisonment, interrogations and other measures, if Al-Haq continues to work.

During the phone call, which lasted around five minutes, Shawan asked the caller if he is being threatened, and the caller confirmed and reiterated that a personal price will be paid and that Israel will not allow Al-Haq to continue its work.

Al-Haq urgently demanded that the international community immediately take targeted and effective action to protect Al-Haq, its General Director Shawan Jabarin and other Palestinian civil society organizations and human rights defenders, who are now facing existential threats.

Israeli forces summon, briefly detain NGO’s General Director, keep him in custody

Israeli forces Sunday summoned and briefly detained Khaled Quzmar, the General Director of the Defense for Children Palestine (DCIP) organization, according to posts published on the office’s official Twitter page.

The organization said in a tweet that “Khaled Quzmar,, DCIP’s General Director, is in Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) custody as Israeli authorities again escalate attacks against DCIPalestine, Al-Haq, Addammer, and others.”

It added that Quzmar was summoned for interrogation by the Israeli Security Agency.

“Quzmar received a phone call at 2:25 pm local time from a Shin Bet agent summoning him for interrogation. He went to Israel’s Ofer military base soon after…,” said the organization.

“An eyewitness at Ofer military base saw Quzmar escorted into Shin Bet premises around 3:20 pm. Quzmar was not allowed to have legal counsel accompany him. We are waiting for updates.”

Quzmar was interrogated for two hours and released, according to sources.

Last week, Israeli forces raided the headquarters of seven Palestinian human rights and civil society organizations in the occupied West Bank cities of Ramallah and al-Bireh and ordered the places to be shut down after ransacking them and seizing documents.

Prime Minister discusses developments with New Zealand’s representative to Palestine

Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh Sunday met with New Zealand’s Special Representative to Palestine, Greg Lewis, and briefed him with the latest updates and political developments, in addition to enhancing joint cooperation.

The Prime Minister stressed that Israel is working to systematically destroy the two-state solution, through its measures of seizing more land in favor of settlement expansion, the continuation of daily incursions into Palestinian areas, killings, arrests, house demolitions and property destruction, and the continued attacks of settlers under the protection of the occupation forces.

Shtayyeh stressed that what the occupation forces have recently done against a number of Palestinian civil society organizations and human rights institutions is illegal measures, stressing that the leadership and the government stand by these institutions in performing their tasks guaranteed by Palestinian and international law.

The Prime Minister also discussed with the representative of New Zealand enhancing joint cooperation, especially the education sector, praising his country’s support for the health sector and the UNRWA.

Israeli court rejects appeal to release hunger-striking prisoner

The Israeli Supreme Court Sunday has rejected the appeal request submitted for the release of Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawda, who has been on hunger strike for 172 days protesting his illegal detention in Israeli jails, despite the severe deterioration in his health conditions.

According to Awawda’s lawyer, Ahlam Hadad, the court rejected the appeal request which demanded the immediate release of the prisoner Awawda and affirmed the desicion to freeze his administrative detention.

The Israeli Court considered that the “freezing” decision is appropriate for the case of Awawda, stressing the implementation of the administrative suspension conditions and that dealing with him should be the same as any patient in the hospital, and that visitors are allowed without discrimination.

Awawda was supposed to be releleased on September 15th, while his lawyer submitted an “immediate release” request to the court in order for the prisoner to be released on September 1st. The court denied the request after the Shin Bet filed a “confidential file” to the judge.

The Prisoner’s Society clarified that the decision to “freeze” the detention of prisoner Awawda came “based on medical data and reports from the hospital indicating a danger to his life, but if his health condition improves and the detainee decides to leave the hospital, his administrative detention will be activated immediately.”

Awawda is kept at an Israeli hospital, with his hands cuffed to the bed, following the serious deterioration of his health due to the long hunger strike.

Palestinians believe the suspension decision is a ploy to get the prisoner to end and recover from his hunger strike before reinstating the administrative detention order.

Awawda, 40, from the town of Idna in the southern West Bank district of Hebron, broke a 111-day fast last month after being reassured by Israeli prison authorities that his administrative detention would not be renewed, but he resumed the hunger strike a week later after the occupation authorities reneged on their promise not to end his unfair detention order.

Two weeks ago, the Israeli military court of Ofer allowed his lawyer and a physician to visit him for the first time in order to prepare a medical report about his health condition and submit it before the court to look into his release.

The father of four has been in jail since 27 December 2021, and has been placed in administrative detention, without charge or trial, ever since.

Israel’s widely condemned policy of administrative detention allows the detention of Palestinians without charge or trial for renewable intervals usually ranging between three and six months based on undisclosed evidence that even a detainee’s lawyer is barred from viewing.

Currently, Israel is holding over 680 Palestinians in administrative detention, deemed illegal by international law, most of them former prisoners who spent years in prison for their resistance of the Israeli occupation.

Amnesty International, has described Israel’s administrative detention policy as a “cruel, unjust practice which helps maintain Israel’s system of apartheid against Palestinians.”
