John Arabia, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, \"Despite 2020 being the most difficult year the lodging industry has ever faced, we were able to navigate the challenges, reduce our debt levels, improve the quality of our portfolio and opportunistically invest capital to better position Sunstone as our industry recovers. Our low levered balance sheet has protected the Company during this downturn, and will provide us with capacity to expand the portfolio as we enter the next growth cycle.\" Mr. Arabia continued, \"We expect 2021 to be a transition year with industry demand in the first quarter resembling the fourth quarter of 2020. That said, as the vaccine rollout has gained steam and stay-at-home restrictions have eased across the country, our portfolio has recently witnessed a measurable and encouraging increase in near-term reservations and group booking activity. More specifically, our portfolio has seen a sizable acceleration in near-term leisure reservations, the early recovery of commercial transient reservations and confirmation from many of our groups already on the books that they intend to hold their scheduled events in the third and fourth quarters. Should these positive trends continue, we would expect sequential quarter-over-quarter growth as the year progresses, and a return to hotel profitability by the second half of 2021.\" Unaudited Selected Statistical and Financial Data ($ in millions, except RevPAR, ADR and per share amounts) QuarterEndedDecember 31, YearEndedDecember 31, 2020 2019 Change 2020 2019 Change Net (Loss) Income $ (39.4) $ 45.4 (186.7) % $ (410.5) $ 142.8 (387.5) % (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Stockholders per Diluted Share $ (0.19) $ 0.18 (205.6) % $ (1.93) $ 0.54 (457.4) % 17 Hotel Portfolio RevPAR (1) $ 25.36 $ 193.52 (86.9) % $ 46.02 $ 201.79 (77.2) % 17 Hotel Portfolio Occupancy (1) 16.0 % 82.4 % (6,640) bps 22.5 % 83.9 % (6,140) bps 17 Hotel Portfolio ADR (1) $ 158.52 $ 234.86 (32.5) % $ 204.52 $ 240.51 (15.0) % 17 Hotel Portfolio Adjusted EBITDAre Margin (1) (2) (54.6) % 30.1 % (8,470) bps (27.3) % 31.7 % (5,900) bps Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest $ (19.1) $ 75.5 (125.3) % $ (88.1) $ 320.2 (127.5) % Adjusted FFO Attributable to Common Stockholders $ (34.9) $ 59.0 (159.2) % $ (156.6) $ 254.0 (161.7) % Adjusted FFO Attributable to Common Stockholders per Diluted Share $ (0.16) $ 0.26 (161.5) % $ (0.73) $ 1.12 (165.2) % (1) The 17 Hotel Portfolio (the \"17 Hotels\") includes all hotels owned by the Company as of December 31, 2020.

Recent Developments COVID-19: Due to the government mandated restrictions on travel and public gatherings since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Company temporarily suspended operations at 14 of the 17 Hotels during the first half of 2020. In response to this challenging environment, the Company, working with its operators, has developed and implemented protocols to safely and responsibly resume operations at its hotels, including frequent and enhanced cleaning and sanitation, contactless check in and increased physical distancing throughout the hotels. As of the date of this release, the Company has resumed operations at all but two of its previously suspended hotels (see table below). The Company experienced slow but steady improvements in hotel demand during October and November 2020; however, these improving demand trends moderated in December 2020 when several states reimplemented travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders. Of the group business that has cancelled to date, approximately 25% has rebooked into future periods. The Company believes that a significant portion of the group business booked through the first half of 2021 has cancelled or will eventually cancel. The Company recorded total group and transient cancellation and attrition revenue of $1.7 million and $7.7 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively. The extent of the effects of the pandemic on the Company's business and the hotel industry at large, however, will ultimately depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic, how quickly and successfully effective vaccines and therapies are distributed and administered, as well as the length of time it takes for demand and pricing to return and normal economic and operating conditions to resume. During the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, the Company incurred $0.2 million and $29.1 million, respectively, of additional expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic related to wages and benefits for furloughed or laid off hotel employees, net of $5.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in employee retention tax credits and various industry grants received by the hotels. These additional COVID-19-related expenses included severance of $3.1 million and $11.0 million incurred in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Due to the temporary suspension of operations at certain hotels in the portfolio and the incurrence of various extraordinary and non-recurring items, comparisons between the financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020 to the same periods in 2019 are not meaningful. Capital Investments: The Company invested $7.4 million and $51.4 million into its portfolio during the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. In 2021, the Company expects to invest approximately $70 million to $80 million of capital, including approximately $30 million to reposition and rebrand the Renaissance Washington DC to The Westin Washington DC. The total cost of repositioning is expected to be approximately $70 million and will be incurred in 2021 and 2022. Upon substantial completion of the repositioning, the hotel will be rebranded The Westin Washington DC. Additional capital projects in 2021 include approximately $9 million at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront to convert a previously leased restaurant space to meeting space and re-concept the ground floor hotel restaurant, approximately $3 million to add an adult pool at the Wailea Beach Resort and approximately $2 million to convert a vacant retail space to meeting space at the Boston Park Plaza. Hotel Rebranding: On February 3, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with affiliates of Marriott International to rebrand the Renaissance Washington DC to The Westin Washington DC, upon substantial completion of a renovation of the hotel. Mr. Arabia continued, \"Building on our previous success repositioning hotels in our portfolio to maximize value, we are very excited about the pending conversion of the Renaissance Washington DC to The Westin Washington DC. Over the past several years, the hotel's immediate surroundings have improved significantly with the addition of the neighboring City Center, Anthem Row, Apple's flagship store in the beautifully renovated Carnegie Library and countless high-end restaurants and amenities. Our incremental repositioning investment of roughly $30 million above a cyclical renovation is expected to deliver attractive returns, and position the hotel as a flagship convention hotel in Washington DC.\" Debt: In December 2020, the Company completed second amendments to the agreements governing its unsecured debt, consisting of its revolving credit facility, term loans and senior notes, extending financial covenant relief from June 30, 2021 to March 31, 2022, with quarterly testing resuming for the period ending March 31, 2022. Additionally, the amendments extend the modification of the required quarterly-tested financial covenants to ease compliance for four quarters following the end of the covenant relief period. At December 31, 2020, the Company had no amount outstanding on the revolving portion of its amended credit facility, with $500.0 million of capacity available for additional borrowing under the agreement. As part of the second amendments to the agreements governing the Company's unsecured debt, the Company was granted the ability to apply the net proceeds received from the completed sale of the Renaissance Los Angeles Airport to repay the $107.9 million mortgage loan secured by the Renaissance Washington DC. The loan was scheduled to mature on May 1, 2021, and was repaid without penalty on December 29, 2020. Additionally, in December 2020, the Company executed an assignment-in-lieu agreement with the holder of the $77.2 million mortgage secured by the Hilton Times Square. As stipulated in the agreement, the Company satisfied all outstanding debt obligations, including regular and default interest or late charges that were assessed, in exchange for a $20.0 million payment, the credit of $3.2 million of restricted cash held by the mortgage holder, the assignment of the Company's leasehold interest in the Hilton Times Square and the retention of $11.6 million in certain potential employee-related obligations, which is currently held in escrow until those obligations are resolved. In conjunction with this agreement, the Company wrote-off approximately $22.2 million of various accrued expenses related to the hotel's operating lease and sublease, including, but not limited to, accrued property taxes, recapture of deferred taxes due from a prior deferral period, accrued ground rent and accrued easement payments. The Company removed the net assets and liabilities related to the hotel from its December 31, 2020 balance sheet, and recorded a $6.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt as a result of this transaction. Finally, in December 2020, the Company exercised its first one-year option to extend the maturity date of the mortgage loan secured by the Hilton San Diego Bayfront from December 2020 to December 2021. The Company expects to exercise its two remaining one-year options to further extend the loan's maturity to December 2023. After the repayment of the mortgage loan secured by the Renaissance Washington DC and the resolution of the mortgage loan secured by the Hilton Times Square, only three of the 17 Hotels are secured by mortgage loans. Assuming the Company is successful in extending the maturity of the mortgage secured by the Hilton San Diego Bayfront from December 2021 to December 2023, the Company's first debt maturity will be for the $85.0 million unsecured term loan due in September 2022. Stock Repurchase and At the Market Stock Offering Programs: OnFebruary 10, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors reauthorized the existing stock repurchase program, allowing the Company to acquire up to$500.0 millionof the Company's common and preferred stock. The authorization has no stated expiration date. Future repurchases will depend on various factors, including the Company's capital needs, restrictions under its various financing agreements, as well as the price of the Company's common and preferred stock. Additionally, the Company's Board of Directors reviewed and maintained the existing \"At the Market\" stock offering program, allowing the Company to issue common stock up to an aggregate offering amount of $300.0 million. The existing authorization has no stated expiration date. Balance Sheet/Liquidity Update As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $416.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash of $47.7 million, total assets of $3.0 billion, including $2.5 billion of net investments in hotel properties, total consolidated debt of $747.9 million and stockholders' equity of $2.0 billion.

Copies of these reports are available on our website at www.sunstonehotels.com and through the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (\"EDGAR\") at www.sec.gov. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We present the following non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors as key supplemental measures of our operating performance: earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate, or EBITDAre; Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest (as defined below); funds from operations attributable to common stockholders, or FFO attributable to common stockholders; Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders (as defined below); hotel Adjusted EBITDAre; and hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margins. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our calculation of these measures may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms exactly the same as the Company. These non-GAAP measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect additional ways of viewing our operations that we believe, when viewed with our GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial information in its entirety and not to rely on a single financial measure. We present EBITDAre in accordance with guidelines established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (\"NAREIT\"), as defined in its September 2017 white paper \"Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate.\" We believe EBITDAre is a useful performance measure to help investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period in comparison to our peers. NAREIT defines EBITDAre as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on the disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change in control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in the value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. We make additional adjustments to EBITDAre when evaluating our performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance, and that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest, when combined with the primary GAAP presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of our operating performance. In addition, we use both EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest as measures in determining the value of hotel acquisitions and dispositions. We believe that the presentation of FFO attributable to common stockholders provides useful information to investors regarding our operating performance because it is a measure of our operations without regard to specified noncash items such as real estate depreciation and amortization, any real estate impairment loss and any gain or loss on sale of real estate assets, all of which are based on historical cost accounting and may be of lesser significance in evaluating our current performance. Our presentation of FFO attributable to common stockholders conforms to NAREIT's definition of \"FFO applicable to common shares.\" Our presentation may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the terms in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do. We also present Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders when evaluating our operating performance because we believe that the exclusion of certain additional items described below provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding our ongoing operating performance, and may facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and our peer companies. We adjust EBITDAre and FFO attributable to common stockholders for the following items, which may occur in any period, and refer to these measures as either Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest or Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders: Amortization of favorable and unfavorable contracts: we exclude the noncash amortization of the favorable management contract asset recorded in conjunction with our acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile, along with the favorable and unfavorable tenant lease contracts, as applicable, recorded in conjunction with our acquisitions of the Boston Park Plaza, the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile, the Hyatt Regency San Francisco and the Wailea Beach Resort. We exclude the noncash amortization of favorable and unfavorable contracts because it is based on historical cost accounting and is of lesser significance in evaluating our actual performance for the current period. Gains or losses from debt transactions: we exclude the effect of finance charges and premiums associated with the extinguishment of debt, including the acceleration of deferred financing costs from the original issuance of the debt being redeemed or retired because, like interest expense, their removal helps investors evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure. Acquisition costs: under GAAP, costs associated with acquisitions that meet the definition of a business are expensed in the year incurred. We exclude the effect of these costs because we believe they are not reflective of the ongoing performance of the Company or our hotels. Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle: from time to time, the FASB promulgates new accounting standards that require the consolidated statement of operations to reflect the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. We exclude these one-time adjustments, which include the accounting impact from prior periods, because they do not reflect our actual performance for that period. Other adjustments: we exclude other adjustments that we believe are outside the ordinary course of business because we do not believe these costs reflect our actual performance for the period and/or the ongoing operations of our hotels. Such items may include: lawsuit settlement costs; prior year property tax assessments or credits; the write-off of development costs associated with abandoned projects; property-level restructuring, severance and management transition costs; debt resolution costs; lease terminations; and property insurance proceeds or uninsured losses. In addition, to derive Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest we exclude the noncontrolling partner's pro rata share of the net (income) loss allocated to the Hilton San Diego Bayfront partnership, as well as the noncontrolling partner's pro rata share of any EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre components. We also exclude the noncash expense incurred with the amortization of deferred stock compensation as this expense is based on historical stock prices at the date of grant to our corporate employees and does not reflect the underlying performance of our hotels. In addition, we exclude the amortization of our right-of-use assets and liabilities as these expenses are based on historical cost accounting and do not reflect the actual rent amounts due to the respective lessors or the underlying performance of our hotels. Additionally, we include an adjustment for the cash finance lease expenses recorded on the ground lease at the Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles (prior to the hotel's sale in October 2019) and the building lease at the Hyatt Centric Chicago Magnificent Mile. We determined that both of these leases are finance leases, and, therefore, we include a portion of the lease payments each month in interest expense. We adjust EBITDAre for these two finance leases in order to more accurately reflect the actual rent due to both hotels' lessors in the current period, as well as the operating performance of both hotels. We also exclude the effect of gains and losses on the disposition of undepreciated assets because we believe that including them in Adjusted EBITDAre, excluding noncontrolling interest is not consistent with reflecting the ongoing performance of our assets. To derive Adjusted FFO attributable to common stockholders, we also exclude the noncash interest on our derivatives and finance lease obligations, as we believe that these items are not reflective of our ongoing finance costs. Additionally, we exclude the noncontrolling partner's pro rata share of any FFO adjustments related to our consolidated Hilton San Diego Bayfront partnership. We also exclude the real estate amortization of our right-of-use assets and liabilities, which includes the amortization of both our finance and operating lease intangibles (with the exception of our corporate operating lease), as these expenses are based on historical cost accounting and do not reflect the actual rent amounts due to the respective lessors or the underlying performance of our hotels. In addition, we exclude changes to deferred tax assets, liabilities or valuation allowances, and income tax benefits or provisions associated with the application of net operating loss carryforwards, uncertain tax positions or with the sale of assets other than real estate investments. In presenting hotel Adjusted EBITDAre and hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margins, miscellaneous non-hotel items have been excluded. We believe the calculation of hotel Adjusted EBITDAre results in a more accurate presentation of the hotel Adjusted EBITDAre margins for our hotels, and that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in evaluating our property-level operating performance.

Distributions under the PDT Plan may consist of net investment income, net realized long-term capital gains, net realized short-term capital gains and, to the extent necessary, return of capital. The Fund may also make additional distributions (i) for purposes of not incurring federal income tax on investment company taxable income and net capital gain of the Fund, if any, not included in such regular distributions and (ii) for purposes of not incurring federal excise tax on ordinary income and capital gain net income, if any, not included in such regular monthly distributions.

John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund (the \"Fund\") declared its monthly distribution pursuant to the Fund's managed distribution plan (the \"HTD Plan\").

The Board may amend the terms of the HTD Plan or terminate the HTD Plan at any time. A portion of a Fund's current distribution may include sources other than net investment income, including a return of capital.

Such notice will also be posted to the Funds' website at www.jhinvestments.com. The notice should not be used to prepare tax returns as the estimates indicated in the notice may differ from the ultimate federal income tax characterization of distributions. After the end of each calendar year, investors will be sent a Form 1099-DIV informing them how to report distributions received during that year for federal income tax purposes. Statements in this press release that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements as defined by the United States securities laws. You should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because they are subject to uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Fund's control and could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. An investor should consider a Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.

Faced with the lost revenue of the Great Recession, state policymakers chose to protect mass incarceration over education and investing in our future. As they face tough budget decisions again, they must not repeat the mistakes of the past,\" said Steven Almazn, K-12 education program analyst at The Leadership Conference Education Fund. \"State policymakers have the power, the opportunity, and the responsibility to make better choices about how and where to prioritize funds. We need the necessary investments in communities to advance equity and justice, and create opportunities for people to realize their full social, economic, and political rights.\" The policy brief, \"Lessons from the Great Recession: How Spending on Mass Incarceration Shortchanges America's Students,\" analyzes state budgetary decisions made during times of economic crisis and offers a path forward for policymakers who are leading the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. In drawing a contrast to the 30 states that prioritized spending on mass incarceration instead of equitable education during the Great Recession, the brief calls on state policymakers to: Increase and protect education funding, Focus education funding on historically oppressed communities, and Reimagine public safety and transform the criminal-legal system. The full policy brief, available here, analyzes state budgetary decisions made during the Great Recession and, through that lens, offers a path forward for policymakers seeking solutions for current budget crises while advancing racial justice and creating a more positive future for their communities.

The Education Fund's campaigns empower and mobilize advocates around the country to push for progressive change in the United States.

The project is a collaboration between DHIT, the Institute for Convergent Sciences and Innovate Carolina at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and the NC Chamber Foundation, among others. According to Michael Levy, DHIT President: \"We are in the middle of an unprecedented global pandemic with no clear strategy to successfully reopen our economy without risking the destruction of the health of our communities. We lack confidence in existing strategies and clarity on which communities and businesses should reopen, when they should reopen and how they should remain open. More reliable, local data-driven guidance is critical to allow the safe and successful reopening of businesses, schools, religious institutions and other parts of our communities.\" The platform will leverage machine learning and advanced analytics to ingest huge amounts of national and regional data, including but not limited to: health and epidemiological data, labor and economic data, occupational data, consumer behavior and attitudinal data, and environmental data. The resulting dashboard will provide business owners and community stakeholders with real-time intelligence and predictive modelling on population health risk, consumer sentiment and community resiliency. Users will be able to view the risk to their business/county, as well as simulate the impact of implementing evidence-based recommendations, enabling them to make informed decisions. According to Jeffrey Warren, Executive Director of the NC Policy Collaboratory, \"We are excited to be able to work with DHIT to develop this much-needed utility to enable business owners and county administrators to make evidence-based decisions to safeguard the health of their employees and communities. The platform will initially be piloted in seven NC counties, with the intent to scale to additional counties across North Carolina, and if successful, other states.\" The seven NC counties chosen for the initial pilot are: Ashe, Buncombe, Gates, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Robeson, and Wake. These counties were selected based on their diversity with respect to a multitude of factors: overall health outcomes, geography, rurality, economic distress, prosperity zones, population density, racial diversity, age, education level, and number of COVID-19 cases.

The trial also met a key secondary endpoint for safety, showing patients treated with CALQUENCE had statistically significantly lower incidence of atrial fibrillation compared to patients treated with ibrutinib. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rate that can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.1 Further hierarchical testing revealed no difference for Grade 3 or higher infections or Richters transformation. There was a descriptive trend for numerically favorable overall survival. Overall, the safety and tolerability of CALQUENCE were consistent with the profile seen in the broader CALQUENCE clinical development program. ELEVATE-RR is the first Phase III trial to compare two Brutons tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors in patients with CLL, the most common type of leukemia in adults.2 Patients diagnosed with high-risk CLL may experience rapid worsening of their disease, requiring treatment.3 Jos Baselga, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, said: With over forty months of follow-up, todays results confirm that CALQUENCE, a selective BTK inhibitor, displays superior safety in atrial fibrillation without compromising efficacy. The totality of the data confirm our confidence in the favorable benefit-risk profile of CALQUENCE. The data will be presented at a forthcoming medical meeting and shared with health authorities. INDICATION AND USAGE CALQUENCE is a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. CALQUENCE is also indicated for the treatment of adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT CALQUENCE (acalabrutinib) capsules Serious and Opportunistic Infections Fatal and serious infections, including opportunistic infections, have occurred in patients with hematologic malignancies treated with CALQUENCE. Serious or Grade 3 or higher infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal) occurred in 19% of 1029 patients exposed to CALQUENCE in clinical trials, most often due to respiratory tract infections (11% of all patients, including pneumonia in 6%). These infections predominantly occurred in the absence of Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, with neutropenic infection reported in 1.9% of all patients. Opportunistic infections in recipients of CALQUENCE have included, but are not limited to, hepatitis B virus reactivation, fungal pneumonia, Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia, Epstein-Barr virus reactivation, cytomegalovirus, and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Consider prophylaxis in patients who are at increased risk for opportunistic infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and treat promptly. Hemorrhage Fatal and serious hemorrhagic events have occurred in patients with hematologic malignancies treated with CALQUENCE. Major hemorrhage (serious or Grade 3 or higher bleeding or any central nervous system bleeding) occurred in 3.0% of patients, with fatal hemorrhage occurring in 0.1% of 1029 patients exposed to CALQUENCE in clinical trials. Bleeding events of any grade, excluding bruising and petechiae, occurred in 22% of patients. Use of antithrombotic agents concomitantly with CALQUENCE may further increase the risk of hemorrhage. In clinical trials, major hemorrhage occurred in 2.7% of patients taking CALQUENCE without antithrombotic agents and 3.6% of patients taking CALQUENCE with antithrombotic agents. Consider the risks and benefits of antithrombotic agents when co-administered with CALQUENCE. Monitor patients for signs of bleeding. Consider the benefit-risk of withholding CALQUENCE for 3-7 days pre- and post-surgery depending upon the type of surgery and the risk of bleeding. Cytopenias Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias, including neutropenia (23%), anemia (8%), thrombocytopenia (7%), and lymphopenia (7%), developed in patients with hematologic malignancies treated with CALQUENCE. Grade 4 neutropenia developed in 12% of patients. Monitor complete blood counts regularly during treatment. Interrupt treatment, reduce the dose, or discontinue treatment as warranted. Second Primary Malignancies Second primary malignancies, including skin cancers and other solid tumors, occurred in 12% of 1029 patients exposed to CALQUENCE in clinical trials. The most frequent second primary malignancy was skin cancer, reported in 6% of patients. Monitor patients for skin cancers and advise protection from sun exposure. Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter Grade 3 atrial fibrillation or flutter occurred in 1.1% of 1029 patients treated with CALQUENCE, with all grades of atrial fibrillation or flutter reported in 4.1% of all patients. The risk may be increased in patients with cardiac risk factors, hypertension, previous arrhythmias, and acute infection. Monitor for symptoms of arrhythmia (e.g., palpitations, dizziness, syncope, dyspnea) and manage as appropriate. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions ( 20%) of any grade in patients with relapsed or refractory MCL were anemia,* thrombocytopenia,* headache (39%), neutropenia,* diarrhea (31%), fatigue (28%), myalgia (21%), and bruising (21%). The most common Grade 3 non-hematological adverse reaction (reported in at least 2% of patients) was diarrhea (3.2%). *Treatment-emergent decreases (all grades) of hemoglobin (46%), platelets (44%), and neutrophils (36%) were based on laboratory measurements and adverse reactions. Dose reductions or discontinuations due to any adverse reaction were reported in 1.6% and 6.5% of patients, respectively. Increases in creatinine 1.5 to 3 times the upper limit of normal occurred in 4.8% of patients. The most common adverse reactions ( 30%) of any grade in patients with CLL were anemia,* neutropenia,* thrombocytopenia,* headache, upper respiratory tract infection, and diarrhea. *Treatment-emergent decreases (all grades) of hemoglobin, platelets, and neutrophils were based on laboratory measurements and adverse reactions. In patients with previously untreated CLL exposed to CALQUENCE, fatal adverse reactions that occurred in the absence of disease progression and with onset within 30 days of the last study treatment were reported in 2% for each treatment arm, most often from infection. Serious adverse reactions were reported in 39% of patients in the CALQUENCE plus obinutuzumab arm and 32% in the CALQUENCE monotherapy arm, most often due to events of pneumonia (7% and 2.8%, respectively). Adverse reactions led to CALQUENCE dose reduction in 7% and 4% of patients in the CALQUENCE plus obinutuzumab arm (N=178) and CALQUENCE monotherapy arm (N=179), respectively. Adverse events led to discontinuation in 11% and 10% of patients, respectively. Increases in creatinine 1.5 to 3 times the upper limit of normal occurred in 3.9% and 2.8% of patients in the CALQUENCE combination arm and monotherapy arm, respectively. In patients with relapsed/refractory CLL exposed to CALQUENCE, serious adverse reactions occurred in 29% of patients. Serious adverse reactions in > 5% of patients who received CALQUENCE included lower respiratory tract infection (6%). Fatal adverse reactions within 30 days of the last dose of CALQUENCE occurred in 2.6% of patients, including from second primary malignancies and infection. Adverse reactions led to CALQUENCE dose reduction in 3.9% of patients (N=154), dose interruptions in 34% of patients, most often due to respiratory tract infections followed by neutropenia, and discontinuation in 10% of patients, most frequently due to second primary malignancies followed by infection. Increases in creatinine 1.5 to 3 times the upper limit of normal occurred in 1.3% of patients who received CALQUENCE. DRUG INTERACTIONS Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid co-administration with a strong CYP3A inhibitor. If a strong CYP3A inhibitor will be used short-term, interrupt CALQUENCE. Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: When CALQUENCE is co-administered with a moderate CYP3A inhibitor, reduce CALQUENCE dose to 100 mg once daily. Strong CYP3A Inducers: Avoid co-administration with a strong CYP3A inducer. If a strong CYP3A inducer cannot be avoided, increase the CALQUENCE dose to 200 mg approximately every 12 hours. Gastric Acid Reducing Agents: If treatment with a gastric acid reducing agent is required, consider using an H2-receptor antagonist or an antacid. Take CALQUENCE 2 hours before taking an H2-receptor antagonist. Separate dosing with an antacid by at least 2 hours. Avoid co-administration with proton pump inhibitors. Due to the long-lasting effect of proton pump inhibitors, separation of doses may not eliminate the interaction with CALQUENCE. SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Based on findings in animals, CALQUENCE may cause fetal harm and dystocia when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Pregnancy testing is recommended for females of reproductive potential prior to initiating CALQUENCE therapy. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with CALQUENCE and for at least 1 week following the last dose of CALQUENCE. It is not known if CALQUENCE is present in human milk. Advise lactating women not to breastfeed while taking CALQUENCE and for at least 2 weeks after the final dose. Avoid administration of CALQUENCE in patients with severe hepatic impairment. Dose modifications are not required for patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. Please see full Prescribing Information, including Patient Information. CLL CLL is the most common type of leukemia in adults, with an estimated 114,000 new cases globally in 2017 and 21,250 new cases in the US in 2021, and the number of people living with CLL is expected to grow with improved treatment as patients live longer with the disease.2,4-7 In CLL, too many blood stem cells in the bone marrow become abnormal lymphocytes and these abnormal cells have difficulty fighting infections. As the number of abnormal cells grows, there is less room for healthy white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. This could result in anemia, infection, and bleeding.4 B-cell receptor signaling through BTK is one of the essential growth pathways for CLL. ELEVATE-RR ELEVATE-RR (ACE-CL-006) is a randomized, multicenter, open-label Phase III non-inferiority trial of CALQUENCE versus ibrutinib in patients with previously treated CLL with high-risk features (presence of 17p deletion and/or 11q deletion). In the trial, 533 patients were randomized (1:1) into two arms. Patients in the first arm received CALQUENCE (100mg, orally, twice daily) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients in the second arm received ibrutinib (420mg orally once daily) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.8 The primary endpoint for the trial was PFS assessed by an independent review committee (non-inferiority; tested after 250 events). Secondary endpoints included incidence of atrial fibrillation, incidence of treatment-emergent Grade 3 or higher infections, incidence of Richters transformation (a condition in which CLL changes into an aggressive form of lymphoma) and overall survival.8 CALQUENCE CALQUENCE (acalabrutinib) is a next-generation, selective inhibitor of BTK. CALQUENCE binds covalently to BTK, thereby inhibiting its activity.9,10 In B-cells, BTK signaling results in activation of pathways necessary for B-cell proliferation, trafficking, chemotaxis, and adhesion.9 CALQUENCE is approved for the treatment of CLL and small lymphocytic lymphoma in the US and approved for CLL in the EU and several other countries worldwide. CALQUENCE is under regulatory review in Japan for relapsed or refractory CLL. A Phase I trial is currently underway in Japan for the treatment of 1st-line CLL. In the US and several other countries, CALQUENCE is also approved for the treatment of adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy. The US MCL indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. CALQUENCE is not currently approved for the treatment of MCL in Europe or Japan. As part of an extensive clinical development program, AstraZeneca and Acerta Pharma are currently evaluating CALQUENCE in more than 20 company-sponsored clinical trials. CALQUENCE is being developed for the treatment of multiple B-cell blood cancers including CLL, MCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Waldenstrms macroglobulinaemia, follicular lymphoma, and other hematologic malignancies. AstraZeneca in hematology Leveraging its strength in oncology, AstraZeneca has established hematology as one of four key oncology disease areas of focus. The Companys hematology franchise includes two medicines approved in the US and a robust global development program for a broad portfolio of potential blood cancer treatments. Acerta Pharma serves as AstraZenecas hematology research and development arm. AstraZeneca partners with like-minded science-led companies to advance the discovery and development of therapies to address unmet need.

(\"Athenex\" or the \"Company\") (NASDAQ: ATNX) from August 7, 2019 through February 26, 2021 (the \"Class Period\"). The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If you purchased Athenex securities, and/or would like to discuss your legal rights and options please visit Athenex Shareholder Class Action Lawsuit or contact Matthew E. Guarnero toll free at (877) 779-1414 or [emailprotected] The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose to investors: (i) the data included in the Oral Paclitaxel plus Encequidar NDA presented a safety risk to patients in terms of an increase in neutropenia-related sequalae; (ii) the uncertainty over the results of the primary endpoint of objective response rate (ORR) at week 19 conducted by BICR; (iii) the BICR reconciliation and re-read process may have introduced unmeasured bias and influence on the BICR; (iv) that the Company's Phase 3 study that was used to file the NDA was inadequate and not well-conducted in a patient population with metastatic breast cancer representative of the U.S population, such that the FDA would recommend a new such clinical trial; (v) as a result, it was foreseeable that the FDA would not approve the Company's NDA in its current form; and (vi) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. Before the markets opened on March 1, 2021, Athenex issued a press release entitled \"Athenex Receives FDA Complete Response Letter for Oral Paclitaxel Plus Encequidar for the Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer.\" The release provided that \"[i]n the CRL, the FDA indicated its concern of safety risk to patients in terms of an increase in neutropenia-related sequalae in the Oral Paclitaxel arm compared with the IV paclitaxel arm. The release also disclosed that \"[t]he [FDA] stated that the BICR reconciliation and re-read process may have introduced unmeasured bias and influence on the BICR.\" Finally, the Company stated that the FDA \"recommended that Athenex conduct a new adequate and well-conducted clinical trial in a patient population with metastatic breast cancer representative of the population of the U.S.\" On this news, the price of Athenex's shares plummeted from their February 26, 2021 closing price of $12.10 per share to a March 1, 2021 close of just $5.46 each.

From time to time we exclusively post material information to this website along with other disclosure channels that we use. This press release contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on current expectations, forecasts, assumptions and other information available to the Company as of the date hereof. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding Ciena's expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future and can be identified by forward-looking words such as \"anticipate,\" \"believe,\" \"could,\" \"estimate,\" \"expect,\" \"intend,\" \"may,\" \"should,\" \"will,\" and \"would\" or similar words. Forward-looking statements in this release include: \"We delivered solid revenue and profitability in the first fiscal quarter in the face of continued challenging market conditions and a dynamic industry environment,\" and \"Our strong market position has enabled us to start the year largely as expected, and we are leveraging our innovation leadership and competitive advantage to deliver on our long-term growth opportunities.\" Ciena's actual results, performance or events may differ materially from these forward-looking statements made or implied due to a number of risks and uncertainties relating to Ciena's business, including: the effect of broader economic and market conditions on our customers and their business; our ability to execute successfully our business and growth strategies; the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on macroeconomic conditions, economic activity, demand for our technology solutions, short- and long-term changes in customer or end user needs, continuity of supply chain, our business operations, liquidity, and financial results; changes in network spending or network strategy by customers; seasonality and the timing and size of customer orders, including our ability to recognize revenue relating to such sales; the level of competitive pressure we encounter; the product, customer and geographic mix of sales within the period; supply chain disruptions and the level of success relating to efforts to optimize Ciena's operations; changes in foreign currency exchange rates affecting revenue and operating expense; factors beyond our control such as natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, and public health emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic; the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; changes in tax or trade regulations, including the imposition of tariffs, duties or efforts to withdraw from or materially modify international trade agreements; changes in estimates of prospective income tax rates and any adjustments to Ciena's provisional estimates whether related to further guidance, analysis or otherwise; and the other risk factors disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 18, 2020 and included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 to be filed with the SEC.

This release includes non-GAAP measures of Ciena's gross profit, operating expense, income from operations, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, and measures of net income and net income per share. In evaluating the operating performance of Ciena's business, management excludes certain charges and credits that are required by GAAP. These items share one or more of the following characteristics: they are unusual and Ciena does not expect them to recur in the ordinary course of its business; they do not involve the expenditure of cash; they are unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business in the ordinary course; or their magnitude and timing is largely outside of Ciena's control. Management believes that the non-GAAP measures below provide management and investors useful information and meaningful insight to the operating performance of the business. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to Ciena's GAAP results and these measures are not intended to be a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Ciena's non-GAAP measures and the related adjustments may differ from non-GAAP measures used by other companies and should only be used to evaluate Ciena's results of operations in conjunction with our corresponding GAAP results. To the extent not previously disclosed in a prior Ciena financial results press release, Appendices A and B to this press release set forth a complete GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures contained in this release.

This also marks Knock's expansion into Colorado as part of the company's plan to offer the Home Swap in at least 11 markets by year-end. \"Buying a home when you have to sell your old house is a stressful, time-consuming process, which has only become more complex in today's competitive housing market and era of social distancing,\" said Knock Co-Founder & CEO Sean Black. \"The Knock Home Swap gives homeowners the ability to purchase and move into their dream home before prepping and selling their old house on the open market for maximum value. It's a convenient and cost-effective alternative to a traditional home sale or quick, expensive sale to an iBuyer, and we're thrilled to make it available to Denver homeowners.\" Homeowners work with their local real estate agent, who has been trained as a Knock Certified Agent, to receive home financing directly through Knock. This allows them to make a strong, non-contingent offer on their new dream home, immediately take ownership and begin earning equity in their new home while avoiding the hassles of living through repairs and showings. In addition to a fully integrated and competitive mortgage, the Knock Home Swap includes an interest-free bridge loan to cover the down payment on the new home as well as mortgage payments and up to $25,000 for home prep and repairs on the old house so it can sell for the highest price possible on the market. As part of its Home Prep Concierge, Knock provides access to its approved contractor network and manages the payment of all bills upon client approved completion of work. Additionally, Knock provides a backup offer on the old house in the unlikely event that it doesn't sell within six months. Ninety percent of Knock homes sell in 90 days or less. The program gives real estate agents the opportunity to offer a unique solution to their clients that allows them to represent their client in both the purchase of their new home and the sale of the old house. Effective immediately, Denver homeowners can work with a Knock Certified Agent at RE/MAX Professionals, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Innovative Real Estate and West + Main Homes to leverage the Knock Home Swap to purchase their new home before selling their old one. \"We are excited to partner with Knock to help our clients purchase their next home in a less stressful way. Providing the opportunity to our clients of selling their current home after they move into their new home, and helping them present an updated home to the market in order to realize top dollar, is an extraordinary privilege. It's very refreshing to work with a Realtor-friendly company that allows our clients to work with the Realtor they trust,\" said Alan Smith, Broker/Owner, RE/MAX Professionals. \"We are excited and grateful for the opportunity to be partnered with Knock in the Denver Metro region. The ability to offer this program to our brokers and their clients is an absolute advantage in this market that will provide so many more options for our home buyers and sellers,\" said Scott Nordby, CEO/Founder of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Innovative Real Estate. \"This removes the friction of buying your next house while you still own the home you're currently living in,\" said Stacie Staub, Co-founder and CEO of West + Main Homes. \"It's now possible to move into your new home and then sell your existing home after making repairs that are most likely to help command the highest and best terms, but without disturbing your lifestyle.\" In addition to Denver, consumers have access to the Knock Home Swap through more than 5,000 agents in Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth and Phoenix. Knock plans to expand the program to at least 11 markets by year-end and operate in at least 21 markets by the end of 2021.

VDI-100 N95 Respirator - NIOSH Approval TC-84A-PH06 NIOSH established an expedited review and approval process to meet the nation's increased need for respiratory protection. The VDI-100 protects against particulates at N95 filter efficiency level and has been tested by both NIOSH and independent labs and meets all standards. The VDI-100 N95 uses a flat-fold mask design which differs from the commonly used cone-shaped N95. The VDI-100 mask is manufactured at Baril Corporation in Haverhill, Massachusetts, from high-quality US-sourced materials. Initial production capacity is approximately 165,000 N95 masks per week. Baril and ViruDefense have been collaborating since the early phase of the pandemic to develop an N95 respirator mask which combines filtration capabilities of an N95 respirator with the fluid resistance of a surgical mask. ViruDefense received grant funding from the Manufacturing Emergency Response Team (M-ERT), a coordinated effort spearheaded by the Baker-Polito Administration to address the urgent need for PPE to support Massachusetts' COVID-19 response. The state award will help the company launch a second manufacturing line, which will allow for a doubling of N95 production to a weekly capacity in excess of 330,000 by the end of August, ramping up to 450,000 a week by the end of September. \"Our 40+ years of experience in bringing high quality medical and other products to the market allowed us to move quickly after the first signs of the pandemic in the US. We are one of the first in the US to introduce a new N95 respirator during this pandemic,\" said Dan Baril, CEO, Baril Corporation. \"We are pleased to help address the shortage of PPE for our health care workers during this public health emergency. Our VDI-100 N95 respirator combines N95 filtration with a moderate seal to achieve a higher level of airway protection that can be achieved with a surgical mask. Many frontline workers deserve higher airway protection than a surgical mask can provide,\" said Pieter Muntendam, MD, Founder of ViruDefense, Inc. \"This pandemic has demonstrated the critical importance of flexible, high quality, homegrown manufacturing, and we have witnessed manufacturers across Massachusetts pivoting and expanding their operations to support the public health response to COVID-19,\" said Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Mike Kennealy, who also serves as co-chair of the Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative (AMC). \"Our administration is proud to support companies like ViruDefense and Baril Corporation through the Manufacturing Emergency Response Team as we continue to fight the spread, progress through reopening, and plan for the future.\" About Baril Corporation Baril Corporation is the premier end-to-end contract manufacturer of disposable single-use medical products in infection protection, wound care, clinical chemistry, patient monitoring, and medical and surgical disposables.

Neda DeMayo, founder and president of RTF, a national nonprofit advocacy organization, said BLM's plan ignores the spirit and intent of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act, in which Congress explicitly expressed that BLM must protect wild horses \"from capture, branding, harassment or death.\" Under BLM's plan, the lives of wild mares would be placed at risk by the very federal agency charged with making decisions benefitting wild horses and burros on behalf of the American people. \"BLM is marching blindly into another management dead-end, risking the lives of federally protected wild mares at the expense of taxpayers who vehemently oppose such surgeries,\" DeMayo said. \"RTF strongly supports safe, proven fertility control vaccines that are a humane and practical way to slow herd growth and finally phase out BLM's decades-long practice of capturing and removing wild horses from their ranges.\" BLM is currently conducting a helicopter roundup on the Confusion Herd Management Area in Utah. At some point after its completion, the agency plans to hire presently unknown veterinarians to perform a painful and invasive surgical procedure in which a mare's ovaries are crushed then pulled out with a looped chain instrument. The mares would later be released onto the range. BLM's relentless pursuit of sterilization surgeries continues in spite of Congress adding $21 million to the BLM's Wild Horse and Burro Program to be used in a multi-pronged non-lethal alternative program supported by RTF and other stakeholders with the use of proven, safe and humane fertility control at its center.On Nov. 19, 58 members of Congress sent a letter to the Secretary of the Interior calling on BLM to drop its surgical sterilization plan. Called ovariectomy via colpotomy, the planned surgery includes risks of infection, bleeding and death.A BLM-commissioned report from the National Academy of Sciences advised against the use of the procedures on wild mares.In addition, there are no substantive studies to evaluate long-term health of ovariectomized mares. The BLM continues to throw good money after bad. This will be at least the third time that BLM has gone to court over plans to surgically sterilize wild mares, despite polls showing the public supports protections for wild horses and burros. For example, BLM in 2016 abandoned a plan to spend $348,000 on sterilization experiments in Oregon on 225 mares, including at least 100 pregnant mares, after public opposition and litigation. In 2017, wild horse advocates, including RTF, prevailed in afederal lawsuit challenging BLM's efforts to permanently sterilize an entire Idaho herd of horses.The court found that BLM: has a legal mandate to protect horses' wild free-roaming behaviors and manage wild horses in self-sustaining herds, and that sterilizing wild horses impacts the herd's social structure, the wild horses' behavior, and the public's interest in preserving and observing those natural instincts and behaviors. Unlike surgical sterilization, the immuno-contraceptive fertility control vaccine PZP has more than three decades of research supporting its use.Other fertility control vaccines, including some that are longer acting, are receiving further attention and study. These have strong public support and can be injected by hand or by dart by trained technicians, making them far more humane, and cost-effective ways to slow herd growth. RTF is represented by attorneyBruce Wagman ofRiley Safer Holmes & Cancila LLP. About RTF Return to Freedom Wild Horse Conservation(RTF) is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to wild horse preservation through sanctuary, education, conservationandadvocacy since 1998. It also operates the AmericanWild Horse Sanctuary at four California locations, caring for well over 500 wild horses and burros.

Patrick Phillips, CEO Cavulus (PRNewsfoto/Cavulus) The election period continues to December 7. Although it has started slowly Phillips believes comparative shopping will ramp up as the AEP deadline approaches. \"Right now call centers are busy, but most callers are simply asking clarifying questions about potential changes within their existing insurer's offerings. However, as the AEP period ends, comparative shopping among competing insurer's typically accelerates,\" he said. Gene Devine, Cavulus EVP of Marketing Analytics agrees: \"Marketing responses look healthy but beneficiaries have been inundated with political mailers and political TV commercials which have drowned out other marketing. It's another complicating factor and insurers who aren't tactful with direct mail planning and media buying are having a more difficult time reaching potential members.\" \"Many analysts warned COVID could potentially dampen the MA market,\" according to Phillips. Nonetheless, he urges buyers to evaluate competing options because they are more attractive than ever. \"In these 2021 benefit packages, we're seeing a holistic approach in terms of physical, mental and social well-being,\" says Phillips. \"New benefits include things like grocery allowances, pet-sitting and even grandkids on demand programs that provide seniors with companionship.\"Phillips also observes a \"clear, new focus on telehealth and virtual care in direct response to COVID\". He cites a recent CMS press release showing that 94% of Medicare Advantage plans will provide extra telehealth benefits -- a jump of 36% from 2020.\"It's exciting that Medicare Advantage is one of the few industries where options and benefits are increasing yet costs are continuing to drop,\" says Phillips. \"Plans are expanding in both urban and rural areas, and the average premium in 2021 is $21, a reduction of 11%.\"ABOUT CAVULUS -Cavulus is a technology driven specialist in Medicare Advantage insurance solutions.

Others on the mural are wearing shirts proclaiming I KNOW MY RIGHTS, a reference to Know Your Rights Camp, the non-profit Kaepernick founded in 2016 to empower and liberate Black and Brown people. Ben & Jerrys put billboards up in Tampa and other markets, promoting its Change the Whirled non-dairy flavor and partnership with Colin Kaepernick. The non-dairy dessert was created to honor Kaepernicks courageous fight against police violence and systemic racism. Change the Whirled was unveiled in Tampa today to honor Colin Kaepernicks courageous fight against police violence and systemic racism. The mural was a collaboration among Ben & Jerrys, Colin Kaepernicks Know Your Rights Camp, and artist Brandan BMike Odums. The 30' x 90'mural on Moses White Blvd. features portraits of Tampa youth alongside Know Your Rights Camp (KYRC) volunteers. The artwork depicts a young person wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with an image of the freedom fighter and former San Francisco 49er raising his fist. Others on the mural are wearing shirts proclaiming \"I KNOW MY RIGHTS,\" a reference to Know Your Rights Camp, the non-profit Kaepernick founded in 2016 to empower and liberate Black and Brown people. The mural was developed in collaboration with artist-activist Brandan \"BMike\" Odums, KYRC, and Ben & Jerry's. Ben & Jerry's funded the mural as part of its Change the Whirled collaboration with Kaepernick and KYRC. Kaepernick became an unsigned free agent after a season of kneeling during the Star-Spangled Banner at the start of NFL games to protest police violence and systemic oppression globally. Since then, he has become a prominent activist, working to dismantle systemic racism and white supremacy.\"As we look back, it's clear that Colin was on the right side of history,\" said Chris Miller, Ben & Jerry's Head of Global Activism. \"His pre-game protests were before George Floyd's murder; before the 2020 summer of racial reckoning. He knew a long time ago that we need to address the root causes of racism and the structures of our society that are so brutal to Black people. We wanted to be part of the effort to honor Colin's courage and legacy because we share the same values.\"Earlier this year Ben & Jerry's launched Colin Kaepernick's Change the Whirled, a vegan, non-dairy frozen dessert. Kaepernick is donating his proceeds from the pints to Know Your Rights Camp.The mural unveiled today was created by Brandan \"BMike\" Odums, an activist, educator and street artist who is also a friend of Kaepernick and the designer of the Change the Whirled pint. His work celebrates Black history and strengthens the movement for racial justice and equity. \"The blueprint to tomorrow is in our imagination,\" Odums said. \"I think, ultimately, it's the idea of allowing people, especially young people, the agency to understand that the way things are isn't the way they're supposed to be.\"The muraltitled \"Change the Whirled\" is part of a larger effort to support locally-owned businesses and community organizations, and to contribute to the vibrancy of Old West Tampa. As part of the project's community engagement, neighbors are invited to afree, COVID-safe community drive-thru at the mural siteat noon on Sunday, February 7th.

The SR/S was introduced in February and immediately garnered accolades for its elevated design and extended range over its naked street bike sibling, the Zero SR/F. Woolaway, who had first encountered the Zero Motorcycles Race Team engineers at the 98th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb competition in Colorado Springs last summer, was immediately enamored with the platform and began to plan a custom build using a Zero electric motorcycle. When I met the guys out at Pike's Peak and really got a good look at the bike I thought, that bike is the perfect platform to build something with because there's no gas tank and there's this trellis frame that's beautiful and everything else comes off and there's nothing there, Woolaway said. So in my mind quietly, I was thinking, I'd love to do something with that bike because it's a blank sheet of paper. The master builder was sent a stock SR/S shortly before the vehicles public launch in early 2020 and immediately set out to design and build a truly unique, one of a kind electric motorcycle. Working through constantly shifting conditions as facilities began to become less accessible due to the coronavirus lockdown protocols, Woolaway used all of his decades of industry connections to keep the build moving forward. The design was inspired by some of the builders earliest influences while still elevating the platforms award-winning and proprietary technology. I wanted to do something kind of old and new, old shapes that I grew up with and new technology, no computer work, just foam, plastic, shaping and measuring tools, transfer tools and kind of the old school way, Woolaway added. Despite the artisanal craftsmanship that went into the fabrication of the build, there was nothing short of the latest technology available for the build itself. Constructed entirely out of a single mold of carbon fiber composites, Woolaway enlisted aerospace engineers from Lockheed Martin to assist in the completion of the monocoque assembly. The custom body work also still wraps around Zero Motorcycles advanced powertrain comprised of a motor capable of producing 114 hp and a top speed of 124 mph. Were thankful to Deus and to Woolie for choosing to work with us on this custom SR/S, said Chris Metcalfe, VP of Marketing for Zero Motorcycles. They are each such iconic and influential forces in the motorcycle industry and theyve been the perfect partners for this one of a kind build and powerful collaboration, Metcalfe added. Zero Motorcycles plans to include the collaborative project as a central fixture in their remaining 2020/2021 exhibition schedule.

At a 400 ppm lithium cut-off, the deposit has 81.7 million tonnes at 1,121 ppm lithium as indicated resources, and 18.1 million tonnes lithium at 1,131 ppm lithium as inferred resources, this equates to 487,887 tonnes indicated and 109,410 tonnes inferred of lithium carbonate equivalent (\"LCE\"). A breakdown of grade and tonnage by resource category and LCE by cut-off values is given in Table 1 below. Indicated Mineral Resource 400 ppm Li Cutoff 700 ppm Li Cutoff 1000 ppm Li Cutoff 1200 ppm Li Cutoff Tonnage 81,732,150 75,951,000 59,534,100 34,478,100 Average Grade 1121 1160 1247 1346 Contained Li (kg) 91,656,383 88,129,744 74,225,389 46,424,369 LCE (Tonnes) 487,887 469,115 395,102 247,117 Inferred Mineral Resource 400 ppm Li Cutoff 700 ppm Li Cutoff 1000 ppm Li Cutoff 1200 ppm Li Cutoff Tonnage 18,165,600 17,252,100 15,999,300 8,913,150 Average Grade 1131 1156 1170 1196 Contained Li (kg) 20,554,207 19,948,516 18,719,880 10,664,088 LCE (Tonnes) 109,410 106,186 99,646 56,765 Table 1 SOME KEY POINTS FROM 43-101 Report: Preliminary testing for the extraction of the lithium from the mined material has indicated that the material will be relatively inexpensive to process. From the preliminary testing, the sediments will not require crushing or grinding prior to processing but may require some preprocessing to upgrade the material by removing the coarser fraction, which has been found to be of lower grade. The type of processing envisioned will have a much smaller footprint than lithium brine operations, which now employ large evaporation ponds, making the proposed operation more environmentally friendly. Table 2 below shows the average grade of each major lithologic unit within the model. the reduced sediments tend to be higher grade than the oxidized units and are in bold below. Lithologic unit Weighted average grade Li ppm Surface Gravel 790 Upper Olive Claystone 834 Main Blue Claystone 1136 Dark Blue Black Claystone 1464 Lower Olive Mudstone 1082 Table 2 Robert McAllister, President and CEO, commented \"We are very pleased with our maiden 43-101 resource. We used a higher-grade cutoff and the resource shows very good continuity in resource tonnage as the ppm cutoff is raised to come up with a strong resource number based on the current Lithium market metrics and these are laid out in detail in the company's maiden 43-101 report.\" The full 43-101 Report will be filed within 45 days from this release and the report can also be found on the company's website at www.enertopia.com with further details.

(LiveVox), a leading cloud-based provider of customer service and digital engagement tools, recently commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate how integrated contact center solutions help firms with their business operations, customer needs, agent performance, and business outcomes. For the study, Transform The Agent And Customer Experience Using Contact Center Solutions With Embedded CRM Capabilities, Forrester conducted an online survey with 269 US contact center decision-makers who held a title of director or above in December of 2020. Digital communication channels, including SMS, email and web chat, now play an integral role in the omnichannel customer journey, helping to expand customer self-service options and enabling contact centers to handle high volumes of support tickets with limited agent capacity. According to the aforementioned Forrester Consulting study, however, two out of every three firms surveyed still cannot orchestrate customer journeys across multiple channels. And seven out of 10 survey participants said that agents do not have all the relevant customer information and interaction history at the moment of engagementresulting in frustrating experiences for both customers and agents. Nearly 70 percent of these firms said that they would be more likely to purchase a contact center platform with its own CRM to alleviate these issues. As the Forrester study found, organizations today are struggling to track and understand customers across the multitude of channels throughout the customer journey, making both the agent and customer experience (CX) frustrating and difficult, said LiveVox CEO Louis Summe. As they strive to improve agent satisfaction, and in turn improve CX as well, contact center leaders are turning to cloud-based integrated contact-center-as-a-service (CCaaS) with embedded CRM capabilities to better engage their customers.

Use your understanding of the content to express the main ideas and crucial details in a shorter, coherent, and natural sounding text. \nText: NORTH READING, Mass., June 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TraceLink Inc., the leading digital platform company for the life science supply chain,today announced results from its pilot for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pilot Project Program under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). The TraceLink pilot focused on two workstreams: digital recalls across a supply network; and, an interoperable blockchain network solution. The pilots included 22 participating companies from pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesale distributors, third party logistic providers, hospitals and retail pharmacies, including four of Gartner's Healthcare Supply Chain Top 25 and a recognized supply chain leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Third-Party Logistics Providers. The pilot employed early stage technology solutions to address top pharmaceutical supply chain challenges and establish a deep understanding of how technology can realistically ease those burdens. Both workstreams were designed to create a vision and blueprint for the data, operational processes, business systems, and network connections required to realize DSCSA 2023 compliance and to digitalize pharmaceutical drug recalls. \"The results from our pilot gleaned significant insights that will help solve different, but equally important challenges that the pharmaceutical industry will continue to face until DSCSA 2023, with both workstreams undoubtedly highlighting the value of a digital network in improving processes and efficiencies within the supply chain,\" said Shabbir Dahod, president and CEO of TraceLink. \"With the only established end-to-end digital supply network for the industry, TraceLink is in a unique position to help the industry begin acting on some of these pilot findings now. This includes improving processes and allowing better visibility, agility, and collaboration among supply chain stakeholders.\" Product Recalls Workstream: Digital Recalls Across the Supply NetworkEvery year, drug related recalls play a significant role in the hundreds of thousands of preventable patient deaths and hospitalizations from adverse event experiences. In addition, a report published by McKinsey points to these recalls costing the pharmaceutical industry more than $4B+ in direct labor and recall management expenses; and tens of billions of dollars in potential product liability lawsuits, lost drug sales, and brand erosion. Pilot participants in TraceLink's digital recalls workstream explored ways to solve challenges associated with today's product recall process, plagued by disjointed systems, manual processes, and long delays in communication between supply chain stakeholders including leveraging TraceLink's emerging digital recalls network solution \"Participating in the recalls workstream further demonstrated how inefficient the current industry process is in executing product recalls,\" said Joe Maki, pilot participant and senior director of pharmacy operations, Novant Health. \"The learnings emphasized how a digital recalls platform could vastly improve the execution of recalls by eliminating manual, error-prone processes and would also help to better define accountability among supply chain stakeholders with improved collaboration, ultimately reducing the risk to patients by getting recalled product off the market faster.\" The recalls workstream identified a strong opportunity to improve the drug recalls process with the integration of bi-directional communications and digital recall notifications to bolster response times across the execution phase, which would require a collaborative effort among industry stakeholders to create an effective blueprint and roadmap for adoption. For more information on the key findings from the Product Recalls Workstream, view the executive summary. 2023 Traceability Workstream, TraceLink's Interoperable Blockchain Network Solution with Trace HistoriesBy 2023, DSCSA will require an electronic, interoperable system by 2023 to identify and trace certain prescription drugs. TraceLink's blockchain workstream evaluated existing information, processes, and systems to determine if and how they can meet 2023 DSCSA requirements. Pilot members analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of proposed electronic network models for DSCSA 2023, including the evaluation of TraceLink's interoperable blockchain solution to determine whether blockchain-centric and/or non-blockchain approaches may be effective. Business processes related to product traceability are extremely complex due to the diversity of the pharmaceutical supply chain. The findings identified blockchain as one piece of a larger technology solution that could support product traceability under the DSCSA 2023 guidelines. However, the pilot strongly indicates that reliance on any single technology or sole platform to meet the DSCSA 2023 guidelines is extremely unlikely.

Use your understanding of the content to express the main ideas and crucial details in a shorter, coherent, and natural sounding text. \nText: NEW YORK, Oct. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --CurePSP has awarded $300,000 in grants to four studies in the closely related diseases progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD). The investigations will explore genetic influences, the role of specific strains of the tau protein, and changes in the brain at the cellular level. PSP and CBD are neurological disorders that are marked by major disturbances in movement, vision, speech, swallowing, sleep, cognition, and behavior. They are currently incurable and largely untreatable. While rare, they share pathology at a critical, molecular level with more common conditions like Alzheimer's disease, which afflicts some six million Americans, and with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), another major public health concern. PSP is a key target of researchers and pharmaceutical companies seeking treatment and cure for the more prevalent forms of neurodegeneration. Like PSP, these diseases are characterized by the pathological misfolding and clumping of the tau protein, a normally occurring protein in the brain. Applications for CurePSP's Venture Grantsso named because they provide seed funding for promising new research directions, mostly by early career researchersare reviewed twice a year by CurePSP's independent Scientific Advisory Board, an international group of leading scientists from academia and industry. Kristophe J. Diaz, PhD, Vice President Scientific Affairs for CurePSP, said, \"We had an unprecedented level of quality in our applications this round. I think this shows a sharply increased interest in research into these diseases. Our grant reviewers were challenged to pick the best of the best, and we are pleased with their recommendations.\" Reuben Das, PhD, of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, will use molecular and gene editing techniques in human cell lines and animal models to study the effect on the tau protein of a variant in a genetic regulatory region that was recently discovered to be associated with PSP. His findings could help to advance potential gene therapy for PSP. Amanda L. Woerman, PhD, of the University of Massachusetts Amherst will investigate specific tau strains associated with PSP and CBD. The strains' different patterns of misfolding may offer clues to the development of sensitive diagnostic tests and precisely targeted tau-based treatment. Geidy E. Serrano, PhD, of the Banner Sun Health Research Institute (Sun City, AZ) will use a new technique to study the molecular signatures of single cells of multiple types isolated from different regions of human brains affected by PSP and Alzheimer's disease. She hopes to identify biochemical pathways that will offer new targets for drugs. John M. Ringman, PhD, of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, will sequence and study the genome of afflicted and healthy members of a large family with a rare, genetic form PSP. This study may identify a novel PSP-causing gene that may be at work in a more subtle form even in the majority of PSP that is nonfamilial. Those insights could be relevant to other neurodegenerative disorders as well. CurePSP's application deadline for its next round of Venture Grants is December 1, 2020. About CurePSP CurePSP is the nonprofit advocacy organization focused on progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and other prime of life neurodegenerative diseases, a spectrum of fatal brain disorders that often strike during one's most productive and rewarding years. Currently, there is no effective treatment or cure for these diseases, which affect more than 150,000 people in the U.S. alone. Since it was founded in 1990, CurePSP has funded nearly 200 research studies and is the leading source of information and support for patients and their families, other caregivers, researchers, physicians, and allied healthcare professionals.

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a transformation in the infectious disease point-of-care testing (POCT) market. The shift towards miniaturized POCT devices will lead to the emergence of cost-effective integrated lab-on-a-chip devices based on microfluidic technologies and smartphone-based solutions enabling multiplexed detection of infectious pathogens. From RT-PCR to serology tests, and the beginning of new CRISPR-based diagnostics powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, a high degree of sensitivity and specificity is possible. This shift is fostering notable market growth driven further by the possibility of alternate care sites that will provide more affordable and accessible point-of-care diagnostic tests. Genomics is expected to drive the innovation spectrum in this space, changing the paradigm of understanding host-pathogen interaction, creating an opportunity for more personalized prevention. CRISPR-based diagnostic tests to detect SARS-CoV-2 have shown a specificity and sensitivity of 100% on clinical patients, and it is only a matter of time before such tests are implemented in a POC setting. The infectious disease POCT market is a high growth ecosystem generating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.3% from 2019 to 2024. Driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the market is expected to witness a growth rate of 70.2% in 2020. The Asia-Pacific (APAC) and the Rest of World (ROW) are expected to emerge as the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period, primarily for carrying the greatest disease burden. Influenza, RSV, and CT are some of the key infectious diseases. The United States will lead the respiratory tract infection (RTI) POCT segment when compared to Europe whereas Europe will surpass the United States in the sexually transmitted infection (STI) POCT segment. India is expected to emerge as the fastest-growing market for STI POCTs in APAC. The top 5 participants account for close to 85% of market share. An increase in government funding is expected to boost infectious disease prevention and management, supported by a spike in STDs among the millennial generation. Although the RTI POCT segment dominates the infectious disease POCT market, increased vigilance is expected in the STI POCT segment. For POCT innovators, a mix-and-match implementation model is recommended, offering a blend of options chosen individually to best address the requirements of healthcare providers, technology innovators, and the general public, thereby supporting the sustainability of infectious disease POCT programs. Multiplexed POCTs made to detect multiple infectious pathogens from a single specimen will sustain long-term market growth. Key Topics Covered: 1.

(NYSE: ASPN) (\"Aspen\") today announced financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2020, which ended June 30, 2020, and discussed recent business developments. Total revenue for the second quarter was $24.6 million compared to $29.5 million in the second quarter last year. Second quarter net loss was $5.7 million compared to a net loss of $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. Net loss per share for the second quarter was $0.21 compared to a net loss per share of $0.22 in the second quarter last year. Total revenue for the first half was $53.1 million compared to $57.4 million in the first half last year. First half net loss was $8.9 million compared to a net loss of $11.3 million in the first half of 2019. Net loss per share for the first half was $0.34 compared to a net loss per share of $0.47 in the first half last year. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $(2.1) million compared to $(1.7) million in the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA for the first half was $(1.6) million compared to $(4.2) million in the first half of 2019. A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is provided in the financial schedules that are part of this press release. An explanation of this non-GAAP financial measure is also included below under the heading \"Non-GAAP Financial Measures.\" Recent Business Developments \"As expected, our second quarter revenue declined 17% due to a decrease in subsea project work and the impact of COVID-19 on our maintenance related business, most notably in the U.S. petrochemical and refinery market. We did, however, experience year-over-year growth in on-shore project work globally, led by continued strong demand in the LNG market. In addition, our initiatives to reduce compensation, discretionary expenses and bill of material costs offset most of the impact of the decrease in revenue. As a result, we experienced a relatively modest decrease in gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA and increase in net loss versus the second quarter of 2019,\" said Don Young, President and CEO of Aspen. \"Importantly, we continued to make solid progress on our strategy to leverage our aerogel technology platform within the electric vehicle market. During the quarter, we achieved a number of cost and performance milestones in our development effort with SKC Co., Ltd. to optimize our proprietary carbon aerogels to improve lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. In addition, our work with several automotive OEMs to explore the role our silica aerogel materials can play in impeding thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries appears increasingly promising. We received an initial order for our silica aerogel blankets for one of Asia's largest electric vehicle producers for use as a thermal runaway mitigation solution. We also are responding to a \"request for quote\" for our PyroThinTM product for a leading North American electric vehicle manufacturer,\" continued Mr. Young. 2020 Financial Outlook Aspen issues a new 2020 full year outlook as follows: Total revenue is expected to range between $104 million and $110 million Net loss is expected to range between $17.7 million and $14.7 million Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between $(3.0) million and $0.0 million Net loss per share is expected to range between $0.67 and $0.55 Aspen's new 2020 outlook assumes depreciation and amortization of $10.5million, stock-based compensation expense of $4.0million, interest and other expense of $0.2million, and weighted average shares outstanding of 26.3million for the full year. \"In April 2020, we withdrew our prior 2020 financial outlook due to the general uncertainty in the markets for our products resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential impact of significant volatility in the global oil markets. Looking forward to the second half of 2020, we anticipate that contractor access issues at energy facilities will continue to reduce demand for our products during the COVID-19 pandemic. While risks and uncertainties remain, we currently expect that our second half revenue will fall roughly in line with first half actuals with some potential for project-related upside. Accordingly, we expect to experience a year-over-year decrease in revenue, increase in net loss and a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA during the second half of the year,\" stated Mr. Young. \"However, we are confident that Aspen's underlying business fundamentals and operational effectiveness are strong. We also remain committed to fully implementing our strategy. We intend to complete our planned R&D investments, advance our electric vehicle programs with the support of our partners, and implement our bill of material cost initiatives to continue to improve our profit potential,\" said Mr. Young. \"We will also continue to monitor all aspects of our business to position Aspen Aerogels to successfully execute its strategy. We remain confident that the actions we've taken during 2020 both to reduce expenses and to bolster our financial resources will position us to navigate through the current challenging environment and to thrive when business conditions improve,\" concluded Mr. Young. Conference Call Notification A conference call with Aspen management to discuss second quarter and first half 2020 results and recent business developments will be held at 5:00 pm EDT on July 30, 2020. During the call, management will respond to questions concerning, but not limited to, Aspen's financial performance, business conditions and industry outlook. Management's discussion and responses could contain information that has not been previously disclosed. The conference call will be available live as a listen-only webcast and will be hosted at the Investors section of the Aspen's website, www.aerogel.com. In addition, shareholders and other interested parties may call 833-968-2230 (toll free, U.S. & Canada only) or +1 778-560-2694 (international) and reference conference ID \"4492975\" to participate in the conference call. Following the live event, an archived version of the webcast will be available on Aspen's website for convenient on-demand replay for at least a year. A copy of this press release is posted in the Investors section on Aspen's website. Non-GAAPFinancial Measures In addition to providing financial measurements based on generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (\"GAAP\"), Aspen provides additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP (\"non-GAAP\"). The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release is Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, as a measure of operating performance because the non-GAAP financial measures do not include the impact of items that management does not consider indicative of Aspen's core operating performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA (i) for planning purposes, including the preparation of Aspen's annual operating budget, (ii) to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of its business, and (iii) as a performance measure under its bonus plan. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect Aspen's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in its business, as they exclude expenses and gains not reflective of Aspen's ongoing operating results or that may be infrequent and/or unusual in nature. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating Aspen's operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures do not replace the presentation of Aspen's GAAP financial results and should only be used as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, Aspen's financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. In this press release, Aspen has provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Management strongly encourages investors to review Aspen's financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure. About Aspen Aerogels, Inc.

Sedana Medical forecasts a sales increase of about 50 percent for the first quarter of 2020 and about 100 percent for the month of March, compared to the same periods last year. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic Sedana Medical sees a slight risk of delay of the compilation of the IsoConDa study until the beginning of the third quarter of 2020. However, this would not necessarily mean that Sedana Medical's application for European market approval for the drug candidate IsoConDa is delayed. Sedana Medical still expects to keep the timetable and submit the application in the third quarter, or early in the fourth quarter of 2020 and an approval during the second half of 2021. The novel coronavirus mainly affects the lungs and for the most severely affected the consequence is lung failure (ARDS). This condition is very difficult to treat, but studies indicate that inhaled sedation with AnaConDa may be beneficial for these patients. The thesis is that it can reduce inflammation and increase oxygenation in the lungs. This benefit, together with inhaled sedation providing rapid awakening despite deep and long-term sedation, which is often the case for severely ill Covid-19 patients, allows patients to quickly leave intensive care and thus leave room for new patients. This is important as there is a large lack of intensive care sites. These are likely reasons why demand is now increasing, along with the number of patients generally increasing in intensive care at the moment. \"Of course, our thoughts go to those affected and their relatives. We see a significant number of Covid-19 patients being treated with inhaled sedation with AnaConDa, primarily in Germany but also in other countries such as Italy, France, UK and Spain. As the benefits of inhaled sedation become more and more apparent when used in these patients and the intensive care sites in hospitals are filled up, demand increases, and we are trying to meet it responsibly. We divide our deliveries so as not to risk that some hospitals are without products while building up stock elsewhere,\" said Christer Ahlberg, CEO of Sedana Medical. Sedana Medical's manufacturing takes place in Malaysia and so far, the company has not had any serious disruptions in the supply chain, although new challenges are constantly emerging. As previously announced, the last patient was included in Sedana Medical's pivotal IsoConDa study in January 2020. At present, the administrative part of the study is being completed and the company expects to be able to submit an application for European market approval in the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter of 2020. \"It is a relief to be able to say that the clinical part of our pivotal IsoConDa study is not affected by Covid-19. However, there is a slight risk that the compilation of the study is somewhat delayed as the intensive care units that participated in the study are currently occupied with Covid-19. Thus, we might not announce top line results in the second quarter, but instead early in the third quarter. That does however not necessarily mean that our application will be delayed. We still expect to keep the timetable at large and to submit our application for European market approval during the third quarter, or early in the fourth quarter of 2020, and get a market approval for IsoConDa during the second half of 2021,\" said Christer Ahlberg.

This information is such that Sedana Medical AB (publ) is obliged to disclose pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was released for public disclosure, through the agency of the contact person above, on March 30th, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. (CET). About Sedana Medical Sedana Medical AB (publ) has developed and sells the medical device AnaConDa, for the administration of volatile anaesthetics to mechanically ventilated patients. A major pivotal study is currently ongoing to obtain market approval in Europe for inhaled sedation in intensive care units with the pharmaceutical IsoConDa (isoflurane). The company expects the registration of IsoConDa in Europe to take place during the second half of 2021. Three years thereafter Sedana Medical expects sales of SEK 500 million in Europe and an EBITDA margin of about 40 percent. The market for Sedana Medical's sedation therapy of AnaConDa and IsoConDa consists primarily of sedation of mechanically ventilated intensive care patients.
