ClearOne, Inc. Announces a Special One-time Stock Dividend
This Special Stock Dividend is part of the Company's ongoing strategic process and in support of its previously disclosed plan to pursue one or more transactions, including the Asset Sale, and involves issuing to holders of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents one share of the Company's Class A Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the 'Class A Preferred Stock'), for every issued and outstanding share of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalent. Upon the completion of any Asset Sale, which may occur in one or a series of transactions, the Class A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Company for 100% of the net proceeds of any such Asset Sale.
The Special Stock Dividend will be payable on July 18, 2025 to stockholders of record as of July 11, 2025. Because the Special Stock Dividend exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the Common Stock, in accordance with FINRA UPC (Uniform Practice Code) Rule 11140, a stockholder of the Company that sells shares of Common Stock on or prior to the payment date of July 18, 2025 will not receive the Special Stock Dividend for the shares of Common Stock that are sold.
Even though this dividend announcement is a special one-time event, the declaration of dividends in the future is subject to the discretion of the ClearOne Board of Directors, which will evaluate the possibility of future dividend distributions from time-to-time based on factors that the Board of Directors deem relevant. However, no additional dividends have been authorized nor are contemplated at this time.

Prediction: This Magnificent Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Will Be the Most Valuable Company in the World by 2030 (Hint: It's Not Nvidia or Microsoft)
Nvidia is currently the most valuable company in the world with a market capitalization of nearly $4 trillion. While Microsoft trails Nvidia by a small margin, both companies are facing rising competition in their core businesses -- making future growth less predictable. Amazon is still in the early phases of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) across its ecosystem, and recent valuation trends could suggest that investors are expecting robust growth on the horizon. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › For about a year now, semiconductor powerhouse Nvidia and cloud computing giant Microsoft have been trading places for the most valuable company in the world. But as Nvidia inches closer to the coveted $4 trillion milestone, it might seem like the company is leaving its "Magnificent Seven" peers in the dust. Although Nvidia currently holds the title for the most valuable company, I think e-commerce and cloud infrastructure specialist Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) has a better shot at becoming the larger company in the long run. Let's explore the variety of ways that Amazon is already leveraging AI across its business and detail why the company's robust growth prospects could lead to a considerable expansion in valuation over the next five years. Amazon's ecosystem spans e-commerce, logistics, consumer electronics, cloud computing, advertising, streaming, and much more. While AI has the potential to add value to each of these services, I think investors should hone in on how the technology could ignite significant growth across the cloud and e-commerce segments in particular. Amazon derives the majority of its revenue from online sales, which generated a whopping $250 billion over the last year. Factors such as commoditized product offerings, expensive transportation infrastructure at global scale, and fluctuating shopping patterns from consumers make the e-commerce business a relatively low-margin business for Amazon, though. Management has expressed intentions to make this area of the business more profitable by leveraging AI-powered robotics. Robotics can be integrated in Amazon's warehouses to help automate mundane tasks alongside the human labor force. In addition, CEO Andy Jassy has even expressed that robots could assist in transportation and delivery of packages down the road. Per a recent analysis from Morgan Stanley, robotics could help reduce costs by 25% in an individual warehouse. Considering Amazon has global scale, these cost reductions could theoretically expand profitability in e-commerce operations by billions in the long run. Regarding its cloud business, Amazon has invested $8 billion into a start-up called Anthropic over the last couple of years. Anthropic's services have been swiftly integrated into Amazon Web Services (AWS), and its impact on the business' sales and profitability are already quite significant. For much of the last couple of years, Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) have been considered the gold standard for generative AI development. And while many of the Magnificent Seven companies are Nvidia's largest customers today, these dynamics may shift in coming years. Although Nvidia and Microsoft are valued at premiums right now, I think both companies could struggle to fend off competition in the chip and cloud arenas. AMZN PE Ratio (Forward) data by YCharts Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI may not be as lucrative as it once was, given the ChatGPT maker has been exploring partnership opportunities with Alphabet and Oracle as of late. In addition, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet are all investing significant capital in their own custom silicon development. Moreover, Advanced Micro Devices has built formidable data center and AI chip businesses that compete directly with Nvidia. Amazon appears to be witnessing a degree of expansion based on the forward price-to-earnings (P/E) trends pictured above. To me, this signals that investors may finally be understanding that Amazon is uniquely positioned to further monetize its various service offerings by augmenting its ecosystem with AI. Hence, the company's market cap could rise considerably relative to its peers in the following years as AI becomes the core pillar supporting Amazon's transformation. Although Amazon stock isn't a bargain now, I still see it as a compelling buy-and-hold opportunity for long-term investors. I do not think the upside that AI carries has been fully baked into the stock price, despite some noticeable expansion in recent months. Considering the long-term accretive impacts AI could generate for Amazon's core e-commerce and cloud businesses, I think the company is in the early phases of a new growth chapter featuring accelerating revenue and profits for years to come. For this reason, I think investors could continue valuing Amazon at a premium relative to its peers and see the company emerging as the most valuable business in the world over its AI peers by early the next decade.

ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages PepGen Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
NEW YORK, July 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of PepGen Inc. (NASDAQ: PEPG) between March 7, 2024 and March 3, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important August 8, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased PepGen securities 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 PepGen class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 8, 2025. 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 achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. 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 false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) PGN-EDO51 was less effective and safe than defendants had led investors to believe; (2) the CONNECT2 study was dangerous or otherwise deficient for purposes of U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') approval; (3) as a result of all the foregoing, PepGen was likely to halt the CONNECT2 study, and PGN-ED051's clinical, regulatory, and commercial prospects were overstated; and (4) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the PepGen class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. 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. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ——————————- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq. The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. 275 Madison Avenue, 40th Floor New York, NY 10016 Tel: (212) 686-1060 Toll Free: (866) 767-3653 Fax: (212) 202-3827 [email protected]

Why AMC Stock Is Soaring Today
Wedbush boosted its rating on AMC Entertainment stock from neutral to outperform and raised its price target. The firm's analyst was impressed with AMC's recent moves to improve cash flow and reduce debt. Despite improved analyst sentiment, the company's negative equity, years of unprofitability, and weak theater attendance make its stock a risky pick. 10 stocks we like better than AMC Entertainment › Shares of AMC Entertainment (NYSE: AMC) are jumping on Friday, up 10.6% to $3.32 as of 2:05 p.m. ET. At that point in the session, the S&P 500 was off by about 0.2% and the Nasdaq Composite was flat. A ratings upgrade from Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter appeared to be the driving force behind the movie theater chain's stock move. On Friday morning, Wedbush's Pachter upgraded AMC shares from neutral to outperform and raised his 12-month price target on the stock from $3 to $4. The analyst cited an upcoming film release schedule that's more consistent than what we've seen recently. He also pointed to AMC's lead in premium screens in North America as an advantage that could help it capture more market share, as well as the company's expansion plans in the U.K. and the European Union. Pachter was also impressed with AMC's cost-cutting efforts, which have included closing underperforming theaters., That boosted its bottom line, allowing it to reduce its debt and eliminating its need to issue additional shares in the near future. AMC stock has a lot of loyal fans who, despite the company's troubles, see a bright future for it. Their support has turned it into a meme stock. But I'm not convinced by their bullish views. The company's balance sheet is in rough shape with negative equity approaching $2 billion, and it has been years since it has operated in the black. I'm a movie lover, and I wish I could say differently, but consumer trends are not working in AMC's favor. In 2024, roughly 760 million movie tickets were sold in the U.S., down from 1.2 billion the year before the pandemic hit. That in turn was down from the late 1990s through the early 2000s, when 1.4 billion or more tickets were sold during most years.
