SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Reminds Shareholders with Losses on their Investment in Exelon Corporation of Class Action Lawsuit and Upcoming Deadline – EXC

NEW YORK / ACCESSWIRE / December 20, 2019 / Pomerantz LLP announce that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Exelon Corporation ("Exelon" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: EXC) and certain of its officers. The class action, filed in United States District Court, for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, and docketed under 19-cv-08209, is on behalf of a class consisting of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Exelon securities between February 9, 2019 and November 1, 2019, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its top officials.

If you are a shareholder who purchased Exelon securities during the class period, you have until February 14, 2020 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll-free, Ext. 9980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address, telephone number, and number of shares purchased.

[Click here for information about joining the class action]

Exelon is a utility services holding company that engages in energy generation and delivery businesses in the U.S. and Canada.

Exelon owns various "Utility Registrants" that are regulated by State utility commissions, including, among other entities, Commonwealth Edison ("ComEd"). ComEd's parent company is Exelon Utilities.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Exelon and/or its employees were engaged in unlawful lobbying activities; (ii) the foregoing increased the risk of a criminal investigation into Exelon; (iii) ComEd's revenues were in part the product of unlawful conduct and thus unsustainable; and (iv) that, as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On July 15, 2019, during pre-market hours, Exelon filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC, disclosing that both Exelon and ComEd had "received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois requiring production of information concerning their lobbying activities in the State of Illinois."

Then, on October 9, 2019, during pre-market hours, Exelon filed another Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC, disclosing that, on October 4, 2019, both Exelon and ComEd "received a second grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Illinois that requires production of records of any communications with certain individuals and entities, including Illinois State Senator Martin Sandoval." That Current Report also disclosed that, as far back as "[o]n June 21, 2019, the Exelon Corporation Board formed a Special Oversight Committee, consisting solely of independent directors, to oversee [Exelon and ComEd's] cooperation and compliance with the subpoena, any further action taken by the U.S. Attorney and any resulting actions that may be required or recommended."

On October 15, 2019, shortly before the market closed, Exelon issued a press release announcing the abrupt departure of Anne Pramaggiore ("Pramaggiore"), Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of Exelon Utilities, and former President/CEO of ComEd. The Company's statement on Pramaggiore's retirement offered no reason for her departure, but analysts following the Company came to the conclusion that the criminal subpoenas and Pramaggiore's abrupt resignation were related.

On this news, Exelon's stock price fell $2.15 per share, or 4.57%, to close at $44.91 per share on October 16, 2019.

Then, on October 31, 2019, during intraday trading, Exelon filed a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the SEC, disclosing that "[o]n October 22, 2019, the SEC notified Exelon and ComEd that it has also opened an investigation into their lobbying activities."

On this news, Exelon's stock price fell $1.17 per share, or 2.51%, to close at $45.49 per share on October 31, 2019.

Finally, on November 1, 2019, after the market opened, the Chicago Tribune reported that "[a] source with knowledge of the case in Chicago" confirmed that "Pramaggiore is one focus of the ongoing federal investigation." According to the same article, "[t]he ComEd lobbying investigation dates to at least mid-May, when the FBI executed search warrants at the homes of former lobbyist Mike McClain of Quincy, a longtime confidant of House Speaker Michael Madigan, and of former 23rd Ward Ald. Michael Zalewski" (emphasis added). Additionally, "[t]he information sought by the FBI included records of communications among Madigan, McClain and Zalewski about attempts to obtain ComEd lobbying work for Zalewski."

On this news, Exelon's stock price fell an additional $0.15 per share to close at $45.34 per share on November 1, 2019-a total decline of 2.83% since the initial announcement of the SEC investigation.

The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Paris is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 80 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 20, 2019 / The Law Offices of Vincent Wong announce that class actions have commenced on behalf of certain shareholders in the following companies. If you suffered a loss you have until the lead plaintiff deadline to request that the court appoint you as lead plaintiff. There will be no obligation or cost to you.

Infosys Limited (NYSE:INFY)

If you suffered a loss, contact us at: http://www.wongesq.com/pslra-1/infosys-limited-loss-submission-form?prid=4997&wire=1
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: December 23, 2019
Class Period: July 7, 2018 to October 20, 2019

Allegations against INFY include that: (1) the Company improperly recognized revenues to inflate short-term profits; (2) Chief Executive Officer Salil Parekh bypassed reviews and approvals for large deals to avoid accounting scrutiny; (3) management pressured the Company's finance team to hide information from auditors and the Company's Board of Directors; and (4) as a result of the aforementioned misconduct, Defendants' statements about Infosys's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Class Period: November 21, 2016 to October 22, 2019

The filed complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented the reason for iRobot's acquisitions of Tokyo-based Sales on Demand Corporation and privately-held Robopolis SAS, which was to control the Company's largest distributors so that defendants could inflate sales and revenue figures by stuffing the channel. Defendants further misled investors by repeatedly telling them throughout the Class Period that the Company was seeing continued double-digit revenue growth, and by attributing the growth to increased demand for the Roomba vacuums, when in reality defendants were engaging in channel-stuffing to artificially boost sales. Defendants also misstated that the Company's channel inventory levels had not changed and would not change dramatically from quarter to quarter or year over year, when in fact iRobot was deliberately stuffing the channel in order to claim false revenue growth.

Mylan N.V. (NASDAQ:MYL)

If you suffered a loss, contact us at: http://www.wongesq.com/pslra-1/mylan-n-v-loss-submission-form?prid=4997&wire=1

Allegations against MYL include that: (1) Mylan's Morgantown facility was in significant violation of the FDA's Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations; (2) Mylan would need to engage in a massive restructuring and remediation program; (3) Mylan's North American Segment would be substantially impacted by said program, which would in turn materially impact Mylan's financial health; (3) Mylan lacked effective internal control over financial reporting; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Dr. Justin DeGarmo’s 3 Tips to Make Brushing Fun for Kids

ELIZABETHTOWN, NC / ACCESSWIRE / December 20, 2019 / Helping your child develop healthy habits is one of the best gifts you can give as a parent. This includes instilling in your kids the importance of a strong oral hygiene routine. Just like eating vegetables or cleaning their room, kids aren't always enthused about brushing and flossing. Dr. Justin DeGarmo of Elizabethtown Dentistry shares three ways to get your child excited about self-care.

3 Ways to Make Brushing & Flossing Fun

Let Them Choose Their Supplies
Kids like to be a part of the decision-making process, whether it's picking a book at the library or choosing their own toothbrush and toothpaste. Kids' dental product manufacturers know children may need extra incentive to get excited about brushing, so you can easily find items with bright colors, cartoon and movie characters, and fun flavors specifically for little ones. When selecting a toothpaste, be sure to pick a mild, non-minty flavor, such as strawberry or bubblegum, as kids tend to prefer these.

Make It a Game
It's no secret kids love to play. By making their oral hygiene routine into a game, they may even look forward to it. Consider setting a timer and having them brush until it's done, cheering them on as they go. Or, better yet, play a three-minute song they like and have them dance along as they brush. You can find several teeth-brushing songs for kids on YouTube for this purpose. There are also smartphone apps for kids, with timers and music to make brushing more enjoyable.

Reward Good Habits
Positive reinforcement can work wonders for kids. Dr. Justin DeGarmo recommends designing a weekly tooth-brushing chart. Each day your little one completes their oral healthcare routine, put a sticker on the chart. At the end of the week, let them choose a fun activity to do as a reward for their good work. This might be a bike ride with the family or picnic in the park, or a movie night with their favorite film. Just go easy on the candy!

More on Dr. Justin DeGarmo

Dr. Justin DeGarmo received a B.S. in Health Sciences at Clemson University and a D.M.D. degree at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC. Following dental school, Dr. Justin DeGarmo completed a one-year residency in St. Petersburg, FL and earned certification for Advanced Education in General Dentistry through the University of Florida. During his residency, Dr. Justin DeGarmo trained at the Dawson Academy and earned his Fellowship from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.

Dr. Justin DeGarmo is a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Christian Medical and Dental Association, and the North Carolina Dental Association. Justin DeGarmo is a founding member of the Southeastern Prosthodontic Study Club.

Jeffrey Hussinger Explains Food Safety Precautions Grocery Stores Should Keep in Mind

MILWAUKEE, WI / ACCESSWIRE / December 20, 2019 / Jeffrey J. Hussinger has held important positions in companies of diverse areas such as law firms, airlines, local government, and public health. With over twenty-five years of experience working in information systems, Jeffrey J. Hussinger has seen many trends make an appearance over the years. In recent years, he has switched his focus to public health. Jeffrey Hussinger is in the process of obtaining a Public Health GIS certificate from the University of Illinois Chicago. He shares food safety precautions all grocery stores should prioritize.

Learning the Specifics of Each Grocery Store Department

According to Jeffrey Hussinger, many grocery stores need to focus on the specific food safety requirements for each department. In general, grocery stores have different departments that carry a variety of foods. Each department has its challenges when it comes to how to handle and preserve foods. Every person working in the grocery store must have a general understanding of specific food requirements. For example, the FDA recommends that all perishable foods be discarded after sitting at room temperature for two hours.

Avoiding Expired Produce

As someone who has a great deal of experience working with Whole Foods, Jeffrey Hussinger hates to see produce gets spoiled. For produce to be preserved longer, it needs to be stored at the right temperature and have the proper humidity levels. Failure to keep produce within the right temperature range will result in the growth of bacteria. As a rule of thumb, cold-season produce has to be kept at a temperature between 32° to 35° F. Also, warm-season produce should be kept at a temperature between 50° to 59° F.

Dairy Requires Real-Time Monitoring

Although it might seem like the only thing grocery stores have to do with dairy is keep it cold, there are more factors at play. Jeffrey Hussinger mentions that dairy products have even more restrictions, and grocery store management has to be aware of them. For example, the refrigeration system of the dairy section needs a real-time monitoring and alerting system that notifies when the temperature changes. Without this alerting system, customers run the risk of buying spoiled dairy products. A lot of people don't know that dairy products also absorb odors from other foods, which is why it's necessary to keep them away from other products.

Jeffrey J. Hussinger also served as an active member of the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel Readers Advisory Committee. Some of his other interests include theatre and music. Jeffrey J. Hussinger plays several musical instruments and has performed with bands for local theater groups.
