(NASDAQ: BYND) between May 5, 2020 and October 13, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 10, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Beyond Meat common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Beyond Meat class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=16090 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 10, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Beyond Meat was unable to manufacture its meat substitutes at scale to the specifications of its business partners; (2) Beyond Meat suffered from widespread scaling issues, particularly misalignment and delayed decision-making, which led to corresponding production delays; (3) such issues were exacerbated by Beyond Meat’s disjoined production lines; and (4) these problems led some business partners to balk at the high price of Beyond Meat’s products and express doubts about the Company’s ability to produce them at commercial scale. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Beyond Meat class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=16090 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

South Africa’s “Oasis (Reach for Your Dreams)” Receives Recognition from UNAOC-BMW Group’s Intercultural Innovation Hub

BERLIN, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / May 25, 2023 / South African organization “Oasis: `Reach For Your Dreams`” is one of ten global grassroots recognized by the prestigious Intercultural Innovation Hub, a joint initiative of the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the BMW Group, implemented with the support of Accenture, during a ceremony held in Berlin, Germany.

Selected for their project “Community Street Football/Netball”, the organization leverages the role of sport to help youth who have fallen through the gaps within society, and have either dropped out of school or have become involved in gang-related activities, by supporting their reintegration into society and empowering them to lead positive and self-sufficient lives. The programme engages participants in street football events, while uplifting young people by instilling them with life skills based on the values inherent to sports, such as team spirit, fair play, respect, and conflict management.

“We are honored to receive the support of the Intercultural Innovation Hub in addressing the challenges of the youth in our communities, and providing alternative solutions for their positive growth,” said Clifford Martinus, Founder of “Oasis `Reach For Your Dreams`”.

Every year, the Intercultural Innovation Hub supports grassroots initiatives that promote intercultural dialogue and understanding, thereby contributing to peace, cultural diversity, and more inclusive societies. This year, the Ceremony was chaired by Mr. Miguel Ángel Moratinos, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and the High Representative for UNAOC, and Ms. Ilka Horstmeier, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG People and Real Estate, Labour Relations Director.

Through the Intercultural Innovation Hub, Oasis `Reach For Your Dreams` will receive a financial grant, as well as one year of capacity-building and mentorship support from UNAOC, the BMW Group, and Accenture to help strengthen the “Community Street Football/Netball” project and its contribution towards a more inclusive society. This model of collaboration between the United Nations and the private sector creates a more profound impact, as partners provide their respective expertise to ensure the sustainable growth of each supported project.

Ghana Standards Authority interacts with traders to promote accurate measurements

The Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) has advised traders to use accurate scales to transact business with customers to ensure value for money.

The Authority has expressed its commitment to standardized trading on the market to promote fair trade for consumers.

Mr John Danquah, the Acting Head of the Metrology Department, GSA, said this in Accra at a market sensitization to celebrate World Metrology Day, which was on May 20.

The day is set aside to celebrate Metrologists and ensure that all measurements are reliable and accurate.

The programme is on the theme: ‘Measurement Supporting the Global Food System.’

He said the Authority had engaged extensively with the formal sector, including the cocoa industry and pumps at the fuel stations, to ensure that the right measurements were used in their field of operations.

‘We have made a lot of progress in the formal sector, and we are engaging with the traditional market to see how best we can help them promote accurate weight and measurement,’ he said.

He said, ‘For instance, the public should be able to know how many kilogrammes are in one ‘Olonka’ or how many margarine cups make one ‘Olonka’.

Mr Danquah was excited about the cooperation from the traders, especially the butchers, stating that the Authority would intensify its exercise of? verifying and calibrating the scales and ensuring they conformed to standards.

He said that per the rules of the Authority, every six months the Authority was to conduct verification of scales to ensure that the devices met the required standards.

Mr Danquah encouraged customers to buy their food items from traders using the weight and measure with the GSA mark on the device to ensure fair trade.

Mr Iddi Issa, Chairman of the Greater Accra Butchers Association, commended the initiative of the Authority, saying, ‘For us as butchers, we used the right scale to measure our goods for customers.’

‘As Chairman of the Association, I check the scale every morning to ensure that it is working well before trading begins and that anybody that goes contrary is suspended,’ he said.

He encouraged authorities to expand the exercise to other traders to ensure a holistic standardization of the system.

Perseus Mining hands-over market, lorry station to Ayanfuri community

Perseus Mining Ghana Limited (PMGL), has commissioned a modern market and lorry station for the Ayanfuri community in the Upper-Denkyira West District of the Central Region.

The $508,000.00 fenced project, comprises three lorry terminals, six market stalls, 20-seater WC toilets and a washroom to serve both travellers and traders.

The project was fully funded by PMGL through its Edikan Trust Fund, instituted to finance projects within their catchment communities as part of its corporate social responsibility.

At the handing-over ceremony, Dr Stephen Kofi Ndede, General Manager of PMGL expressed joy that the project would improve businesses and boost the local economy.

He appealed to the citizens and leaders of the facility to ensure that the best management practices were in force to keep the facility from destruction.

Dr Ndede pledged the company’s commitment towards improving and supporting the people with projects for the benefit of all of them.

Ehunabobriam Pra Agyensaim VI, the Paramount Chief of Assin Owirenkyi Traditional Area, urged the citizenry to be responsible in the fight against illegal mining, which was destroying the land and water that mankind needed to survive.

Nana Agyensaim who doubles as the Board Chairman of PMGL, noted that all hands were needed on board to ensure the menace was reduced to its barest minimum.

Mr Richmond Koduah, the District Chief Executive (DCE) of the area, commended PMGL for the tremendous developmental project undertaken so far in the area and called for continued collaboration with the Assembly.

The Assembly, he noted, would construct lockable stores around the market to help expand businesses in the area.

He urged the youth to stop engaging in illegal mining, which was doing a lot of harm to the environment.
