XRX DEADLINE ALERT: ROSEN, NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS, Encourages Xerox Holdings Corporation Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important January 21 Deadline in Securities Class Action – XRX

NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) between January 25, 2024 and October 28, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 21, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Xerox 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 Xerox class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31433 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] 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 January 21, 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 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, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) after a large workforce reduction, Xerox’s salesforce was reorganized with new territory assignments and account coverage; (2) as a result, Xerox’s salesforce productivity was disrupted; (3) as a result, Xerox had a lower rate of sell-through of older products; (4) the difficulties in flushing out older product would delay the launch of key products; (5) as a result, Xerox was likely to experience lower sales and revenue; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Xerox’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Xerox class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31433 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] 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.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Robotics continued to be a major highlight at this year’s CES. Beyond the common humanoid and household service robots, Wisson Robotics, a Chinese innovation company, showcased the world’s latest universal soft robotics technology and products.

At the Wisson Robotics booth, a series of drones and electric vehicle charging stations equipped with soft robotics were conducting live demonstrations, attracting a large crowd of onlookers. These innovative robotic forms and application scenarios have garnered significant attention and inquiries from visitors. According to the staff, these aerial and automated charging robots are developed based on the Pliabot® flexible technology and have served customers in over 100 countries, regions, and cities, with extensive applications in various industries such as high-altitude cleaning, intelligent charging, energy maintenance, emergency rescue, and environmental protection.

For instance, the Orion AP3-P3 Pliabot® Aerial Tethered Cleaning System, powered by a flexible gimbal, can achieve self-adaptive balance, flexible collision buffering, and multi-angle adjustment, providing unparalleled all-round safety and close-proximity operation capabilities. It is suitable for cleaning the exterior walls of buildings, towers, and other high-altitude structures, significantly improving the efficiency of traditional manual operations while ensuring the safety of operators.
