Commencement Bank (CBWA) Announces New Government Guaranteed Lending Department

TACOMA, WA / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2020 / Commencement Bank (OTCQX:CBWA), announced they have launched a new Government Guaranteed Lending Division to better serve the needs of small businesses and other government-backed loan recipients. Although the Bank has always offered these services, creating a specialized team with in-depth knowledge of the process will provide existing and new clients a greater advantage by helping them select the options best suited to their needs.

Jeff Mizukami, Senior Vice President of Government Guaranteed Lending, possesses more than 20 years of experience in building government guaranteed lending portfolios for community banks, and will lead the new arm of Commencement. Mizukami brings over 32 years of commercial lending experience to Commencement Bank and has worked extensively with the loan programs offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and various state and local commercial lending guarantee programs to facilitate eligibility, structure and underwrite credit, coordinate loan funding, manage the secondary market positioning of portfolios for sale, and provide superior customer service and insights to clients.

The department will also include Wyndie Dwyer AVP, Loan Administrator. Dwyer is a 30-year banking veteran and has been with the Bank since 2018. She recently supported the Bank's efforts through the application process for the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and has been invaluable to the Bank and its clients throughout this process.

Shortly after launching this department, the COVID-19 economic shutdown began. Mizukami, Dwyer, the commercial lending team, and many more Bank employees, hit the ground running with the PPP loan program for small businesses. Over the course of two months, more than 475 applications were processed totaling almost $113 million in relief for small businesses. This supported close to 9,000 employees who were out of work or on reduced hours. The Commencement team worked through the night on several occasions to make sure that each client received the assistance they needed for their business.

"Expanding service lines has been an initiative for the Bank for some time now. We were lucky to find a seasoned lender like Jeff to help us bring our Government Guaranteed Lending Division to fruition at such a critical time for our small business clients and community. With small businesses making up much of our local economy, we believe clients need access to knowledgeable bankers who specialize in these funding programs. Working with someone who focuses solely on these types of loans improves the process on all sides and enhances the experience of our clients," said John Manolides, President & CEO.

The new department, based in the Tacoma headquarters, is operational and available to assist existing and new clients. The Bank plans to create resources for those interested in these programs and will have more information available on their website in the coming weeks.

About Commencement Bank

Commencement Bank, headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, was formed in 2006 to provide traditional, reliable, and sustainable banking in Pierce, South King, Thurston counties and the surrounding areas. Their team of banking experts focuses on personal attention, flexible service, and building strong relationships with customers through state-of-the-art technology as well as traditional delivery systems. As a local bank, Commencement Bank is deeply committed to the community. For more information, please visit www.commencementbank.com.

SHAREHOLDER ALERT: The Schall Law Firm Announces the Filing of a Class Action Lawsuit Against Conn’s, Inc. and Encourages Investors with Losses in Excess of $100,000 to Contact the Firm

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2020 / The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, announces the filing of a class-action lawsuit against Conn's, Inc. ("Conn's" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:CONN) for violations of 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors who purchased the Company's securities between September 3, 2019 and December 9, 2019, inclusive (the ''Class Period''), are encouraged to contact the firm before July 14, 2020.

According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Conn's suffered from an increase in first payment defaults and 60-plus day delinquencies. The Company was likely to be forced to record an increase to its provision for bad debts based on these defaults and delinquencies. The Company made underwriting adjustments to tighten its standards for new customers, and these adjustments were negatively impacted. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Conn's, investors suffered damages.

Ace Natural Announces Wholesome Food Club – Organic Contactless Pick Up Service

Wholesome Food Club Offers Fresh, Organic Food Pick Ups in Westchester, NY

WESTCHESTER, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2020 / Ace Natural, a leading organic food distributor based in NY, has launched a new business unit that offers farmer's market quality organic produce from the safety of your car. Customers can visit the new site, which goes live on (date), and choose the food and ingredients they would like to purchase along with the time and date they would like to pick it up, then the Wholesome Food Club will prepare the contactless pickup.

During this time of staying home people are missing old routines, including choosing food items and fresh, organic produce at local farmer's markets. The Wholesome Food Club is bringing that feeling back by offering those fresh and local ingredients we can no longer go out and shop for in-person and more. While Ace Natural sells directly to commercial businesses, the Wholesome Food Club will be making those items, and savings, available to customers. Since the food will be sold directly from the Westchester location, they will be handled significantly less than the food you will find in retail stores.

"We are excited to offer this new service to the Westchester community. It's an opportunity to get out of the house and get the quality ingredients you've been missing without some of the risks. The safety of our employees and community is our number one priority, so we will be adhering to strict food handling and pickup safety measures to ensure a safe and contactless process."

The Wholesome Food Club is powered by Ace Natural, an award-winning food distributor known for sustainability, certified organic food and offering local items whenever possible. The company has been at the forefront of organic and natural products since its inception and has also been carbon neutral since 2016. Ace Natural won the award for Greenest Distributor in the US by the Green Restaurant Association in 2018. The Wholesome Food Club will offer the same responsible sourcing and distribution that has made Ace Natural a leader in the food industry.
