NEW YORK, Aug. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) between April 21, 2022 and April 24, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important September 15, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Danaher 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 Danaher class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=17717 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 September 15, 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, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) as the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic subsided, revenue growth associated with Danaher’s COVID-19-related businesses was declining; (2) contrary to the Company’s prior representations to investors, revenues associated with Danaher’s non-COVID-19-related businesses were insufficient to compensate for the foregoing negative trend; (3) accordingly, Danaher overstated the Company’s ability to sustain the growth it had experienced in 2020 and 2021; (4) as a result, it was unlikely that Danaher would be able to meet its 2023 revenue forecasts; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Danaher class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=17717 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.

Palestinian eyewitnesses said, clashes broke out in Burqa between dozens of Palestinians and Israeli settlers, who stormed the village.

During clashes in the Noor Shams refugee camp, near Tulkarem, in the northern West Bank, Mahmoud Abu Sa’an, 18, died, after he was shot by Israeli soldiers in the head, according to the ministry.

Int@j Association Hosts Insightful Workshop on IT Outsourcing Sector

the Information and Communication Technology Companies Association, recently held a comprehensive workshop focused on the optimum international strategies and practices within the realm of information technology outsourcing. A statement from the association revealed that the workshop, held on Saturday, was sponsored by the Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship, Ahmed Hanandeh. The session was delivered by the globally renowned Canadian consultant and outsourcing specialist, Olga Fragis. Hanandeh emphasized the notable advancements Jordanian companies have achieved in this significant field, which currently employs roughly 20,000 specialized individuals. He underscored Jordan’s tremendous potential to emerge as a major outsourcing hub, attributing this to a number of factors, most significantly the availability of creative talents. The strong infrastructure, a conducive legal framework, and supportive programs by the ministry, including “Youth, Technology, and Jobs” and “Jordan Source”, further contribute to this potential. Hanandeh shed light on the sector’s challenges, such as the significant skill gap in the digital realm and the pressing need to bridge this divide. He emphasized on the necessity of educational reforms to equip individuals straight out of school for this expanding sector. The Minister assured the government’s unwavering support to the sector, pledging necessary assistance to technology firms through various incentives aimed at strengthening the demand-supply dynamics in the labor market. Moataz Nabulsi, a board member of int@j and Chairman of the Outsourcing Sector Council, expressed confidence in Jordan’s outsourcing services sector, noting its consistent growth in the Kingdom. Nidal Bitar, CEO of int@j, recounted how the association initiated a mission years ago to position Jordan as a significant technological hub in the region. With substantial backing from all involved parties, including the German Agency for Development, they have achieved this objective. Bitar discussed the “Uni-Match” project, a collaboration with Education for Employment-Jordan (EFE-Jordan) and funded by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ). The project aims to escalate exports from 10 Jordanian companies and create employment for 250 IT specialists. This is realized by building corporate capabilities, connecting them with clients in the Arab Gulf countries, Iraq, and the European Union, and providing specialized training based on market needs. Diana Hollmann, Head of the GIZ project promoting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, acknowledged the support the German Development Agency extends to the IT sector in enhancing market access, finance, and talent. Canadian consultant Olga Fragis expressed her gratitude to the Production Association for the opportunity to contribute to the event, reinforcing Jordan’s promising talent pool and its prospective role in the outsourcing field. Israa Awajan, the chief of the project management unit at EFE-Jordan, shared that the organization operates within a global network, managed locally in several Middle East and North African countries, with support offices in the United States, Europe, and the United Arab Emirates. Since its establishment, the Foundation has successfully trained more than 23,000 youths, with women representing 70 percent of this figure.

PLO official urges international community to place Ben-Gvir’s party on terror lists

Hussein al-Sheikh, Secretary General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), called today on the international community and international organizations to place hard-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s party on terror lists due to the party’s history of inciting the killing of Palestinians. In a tweet, Al-Sheikh called for Israeli party Otzma Yehudit to be placed on international terrorist lists, amid reports that the settler terrorist who shot and killed a 19-year-old Palestinian yesterday in the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, is a member of this party. According to Israeli reports, Elisha Yered, the main Israeli settler involved in the murder of Qusai Mu’tan, 19, is part of Netanyahu’s current government coalition, and until recently he served as spokesman for MK Limor Son-Har Melech, and was one of the loudest voices pressing for “wiping out” the Palestinian town of Huwwara last spring.
