XPLR INVESTOR ALERT: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP Announces that XPLR Infrastructure, LP f/k/a NextEra Energy Partners, LP Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP XPLR class action lawsuit. Captioned Alvrus v. XPLR Infrastructure, LP f/k/a NextEra Energy Partners, LP, No. 25-cv-01755 (S.D. Cal.), the XPLR Infrastructure class action lawsuit charges XPLR Infrastructure, NextEra Energy, Inc., as well as certain of XPLR Infrastructure's top former executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the XPLR Infrastructure class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: CASE ALLEGATIONS: XPLR Infrastructure acquires, owns, and manages contracted clean energy projects in the United States, including a portfolio of contracted wind and solar power projects, as well as a natural gas pipeline. Throughout the Class Period, XPLR Infrastructure operated as a 'yieldco' – that is, a business that owns and operates fully-built and operational power generating projects, focused on delivering large cash distributions to investors. The XPLR Infrastructure class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) XPLR Infrastructure was struggling to maintain its operations as a yieldco; (ii) defendants temporarily relieved this issue by entering into certain financing arrangements while downplaying the attendant risks; (iii) XPLR Infrastructure could not resolve those financings before their maturity date without risking significant unitholder dilution; (iv) as a result, defendants planned to halt cash distributions to investors and instead redirect those funds to, among other things, resolve those financings; and (v) consequently, XPLR Infrastructure's yieldco business model and distribution growth rate was unsustainable. The XPLR Infrastructure class action lawsuit further alleges that on January 28, 2025, XPLR Infrastructure announced that it would suspend entirely cash distributions to common unitholders and essentially abandon its yieldco model. On this news, the price of XPLR Infrastructure common units fell by nearly 35%, the complaint alleges. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired XPLR Infrastructure securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the XPLR Infrastructure class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the XPLR Infrastructure class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the XPLR Infrastructure class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the XPLR Infrastructure class action lawsuit. ABOUT ROBBINS GELLER: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP is one of the world's leading law firms representing investors in securities fraud and shareholder litigation.

Levi Strauss & Co. Commences Senior Notes Offering in Europe
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Levi Strauss & Co. today announced that it is commencing a private placement of up to €475 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2030. As of the issue date, the notes will be general unsecured senior obligations of the company and will rank equally with all of the company's other senior unsecured indebtedness. The company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to redeem in full its 3.375% senior notes due 2027 (the '2027 Notes') and pay fees and expenses related to the offering and the redemption of such outstanding notes. The notes are being offered pursuant only to an offering memorandum, dated July 14, 2025. The notes are not being registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'), or applicable state or foreign securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The notes will only be offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and if resident in a Member State of the European Economic Area ('EEA'), to 'qualified investors' within the meaning of Article 2(e) of Regulation 2017/1129/EU, as amended (the 'EU Prospectus Regulation') and any relevant implementing measure in each Member State of the European Economic Area and (iii) if a resident of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland ('UK'), to 'qualified investor' within the meaning of the EU Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of United Kingdom domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (the 'UK Prospectus Regulation'). This press release is for informational purposes only and statements in this press release regarding the private offering of debt securities do not constitute and shall not, in any circumstances, constitute a public offering or an invitation to the public in connection with any offer, including within the meaning of the EU Prospectus Regulation. The offering will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act, the UK Prospectus Regulation and the EU Prospectus Regulation, as implemented in the United States, the UK and the Member States of the EEA, respectively, from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of securities. This press release is only being distributed to, and is only directed at, persons in the UK that (i) are 'investment professionals' falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the 'Order'), (ii) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) ('high net worth companies, unincorporated associations, etc.') of the Order, or (iii) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended) in connection with the issue or sale of any securities may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred to as 'Relevant Persons'). This press release is directed only at Relevant Persons and must not be acted on or relied upon by persons who are not Relevant Persons. Any investment or investment activity to which this document relates is available only to Relevant Persons and will be engaged in only with Relevant Persons. The offering memorandum prepared in connection with the offering has not been and will not be approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the UK Financial Conduct Authority or any other competent authority. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption in respect of the 2027 Notes. Holders of the 2027 Notes are therefore urged to refer to the relevant notice of redemption (once available) for more information regarding the redemption price, record date and redemption date. Information to Distributors Manufacturer target market (MIFID II product governance; UK MiFIR product governance) is eligible counterparties and professional clients only (all distribution channels). No PRIIPs or UK PRIIPs key information document (KID) has been prepared as the notes are not available to retail investors in EEA or the UK, respectively.

We have based these forward-looking statements on our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. We use words like 'believe,' 'will,' 'so we can,' 'when,' 'anticipate,' 'intend,' 'estimate,' 'expect,' 'project' and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our senior management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Investors should consider the information contained in our filings with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2024, especially in the 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations' and 'Risk Factors' sections.
