    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Board of Trustees of Tidal ETF Trust (the “Trust”) has approved a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the SoFi Select 500 ETF (NYSE Arca: SFY) (the “Fund”). The reverse split will take effect after the close of trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”) on October 1, 2024.

    Following the reverse stock split, every five shares of the Fund will be consolidated into one share, effectively decreasing the total number of issued and outstanding shares by approximately 80%. The per-share net asset value (NAV) and the opening market price will increase proportionally by five times on the following trading day.

    Details of the Reverse Stock Split:

    • Reverse Split Ratio: 1:5
    • Approximate Decrease in Total Outstanding Shares: 80%

    Additionally, the Fund’s CUSIP number will change as follows, effective after the close of the market on the Effective Date:

    Old CUSIP New CUSIP
    886364207 886364173

    Impact on Shareholders

    The reverse stock split will not alter the overall value of a shareholder’s investment. The value of an investor’s holdings in the Fund remains unchanged, even though the number of shares will decrease, and the per-share price will increase:

    Shares of the Fund will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Exchange on October 2, 2024.

    Redemption of Fractional Shares and Tax Implications

    In cases where shareholders hold fractional shares following the reverse split, the Fund will redeem those fractional shares for cash at the Fund’s split-adjusted NAV on the Effective Date. This redemption could result in tax consequences, with shareholders potentially recognizing gains or losses based on the redemption of fractional shares. However, apart from this, the reverse split will not be a taxable event for shareholders, and no transaction fees will be charged for the redemption of fractional shares.

  • MIL-OSI: Moody’s Ratings upgrades Iceland’s ratings to A1, changes outlook to stable

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Moody’s Ratings (Moody’s) has upgraded the local and foreign-currency long-term issuer ratings of the Government of Iceland to A1 from A2 and changed the outlook to stable from positive.

    The key driver for the upgrade is the government’s improving fiscal metrics, which Moody´s expects to continue, with a sizeable reduction in the budget deficit and a clearly established downward trend in the government debt ratio since a recent peak in 2020. Moody’s expects the budget deficit to decline broadly in line with the government’s medium-term plans, which the rating agency considers credible.

    A consensual settlement of the HF Fund’s (A2 positive) liabilities, which are included in government debt, and renewed sales of government held bank shares will likely result in additional one-off reductions in the  debt ratio, in addition to an underlying declining trend. Secondly, tight monetary and fiscal policy has started to moderate elevated inflation, which supports Moody´s assessment of Iceland’s strong institutions and pro-active and well-coordinated policy stance.

    Iceland’s medium-term fiscal policy framework has been a credit strength, ensuring fiscal sustainability and the creation of fiscal space over time since its introduction in 2015. The fact that the authorities are now considering to replace the current balanced budget rule with an expenditure rule is credit positive, as such a change would strengthen the framework further by contributing more strongly to macroeconomic stability.

    The stable outlook reflects balanced risks at the A1 rating level. Moody´s expects fiscal consolidation to continue over the coming years broadly as planned in the medium-term fiscal plan. The economy is expected to return to robust growth next year, after a temporary slowdown this year as the tight monetary and fiscal policy cool the previously overheated economy. The sovereign’s economic and fiscal metrics may improve faster than Moody´s currently expects. At the same time, Iceland remains a small and comparatively undiversified economy, sensitive to sector-specific shocks. Also, its debt ratio and debt affordability metrics remain weaker than close peers at the same rating level, making fiscal strength relatively sensitive to shocks.

    The rating could be upgraded further if the government debt ratio continued to decline much faster than under Moody´s baseline assumptions and debt affordability metrics aligned with higher-rated peers. The rating could also be upgraded if the ongoing economic diversification efforts yielded stronger results in terms of reducing volatility of economic growth.

    Conversely, the rating would come under downward pressure if the government deviated significantly from its medium-term fiscal plans, resulting in a material increase in the public debt ratio with no indication of a timely correction.

Major projects, including the ArcelorMittal soft magnetic project and the 3 billion yuan Li Auto component base project, are being launched, with Changzhou attracting a total of 10.59 billion yuan in foreign investment since 2020.

    During the conference, 30 enterprises were awarded for their significant contributions to Changzhou’s social development, industrial upgrading, foreign trade, and technological innovation. To foster an open environment, Changzhou also released a multilingual guide for foreign personnel.

    In today’s world, green, low-carbon, and sustainable development are paramount. Changzhou is implementing a series of strategic collaborations, innovation platforms, and national events to promote industrial integration and innovation. The second Energy Electronics Industry Innovation Competition was launched on-site, alongside the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement to support Changzhou’s new industrialization. The Jiangsu Advanced Power and Energy Storage Battery Technology Innovation Center was also inaugurated.

    To promote investment and development in future industries, Changzhou established the largest new energy mother fund in Jiangsu Province, totaling 5 billion yuan. Additionally, several other funds were signed, including a 2 billion yuan Yangtze River Delta Hard Technology Scientists Fund and a 1.68 billion yuan Yuanzheng Venture Capital Fund, amounting to a total of 6.305 billion yuan.

    Changzhou aims to enhance its industrial development capabilities and cultural soft power, actively promoting the integration of “Vehicle, Energy, Road, and Cloud.” The city is rolling out pilot projects for near-zero carbon parks and smart microgrids, encouraging the development of new business models such as virtual power plants and load aggregators, striving to become a national carbon peak pilot city.

    Looking ahead, Changzhou will expand its new energy landscape, accelerate entry into smart networking and low-altitude economy industries, and unveil investment opportunities in nine fields, including synthetic biology, new energy vehicles, and hydrogen energy.

  • MIL-OSI: M2 Compliance Leads Client Preparation for SEC’s EDGAR Next Transition

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Fort Lauderdale, Sept. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — M2 Compliance, LLC (“M2”), a prominent Registered Filing Agent for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), is actively guiding its clients through the impending updates to the EDGAR filing system under the EDGAR Next rule, which focuses on EDGAR Filer Access and Account Management. The initiative aims to substantially enhance access to filer accounts, account management, and security protocols.

    The SEC is introducing the EDGAR Next system, starting with a beta environment on September 30, 2024, and moving toward full mandatory compliance by September 15, 2025. We understand the critical nature of this transition in securing and optimizing your filing operations. That’s why we’re committed to ensuring you experience a seamless shift with minimal disruption.

    Key Transition Dates

    September 30, 2024: We’ll assist you in engaging with the Adopting Beta for EDGAR Next. This includes:

    • Access to the new EDGAR Filer Management website and dashboard for testing with fictional accounts.
    • Capability to submit “test” amended Form IDs.
    • Opportunities to integrate and test beta versions of APIs.
    • Continued access to the legacy EDGAR filing system until March 24, 2025.
    • Note: Participation in this beta phase requires filers to utilize Login.gov credentials matching their official filing email addresses.

    March 24, 2025: The new EDGAR Filer Management platform becomes operational. All filers must:

    • Enroll or reapply for access via an amended Form ID on the dashboard using their Login.gov credentials.
    • Engage with fully operational APIs available for those enrolled or with approved amended Form IDs.
    • Leverage dashboard functionalities for transition guidance, especially for ABS filers and others requiring specialized data retrieval or submission features.

    September 15, 2025: Full compliance with the new EDGAR Next regulations is mandatory. Essential requirements include:

    • Mandatory multifactor authentication (MFA) via Login.gov for all filing activities.
    • Deactivation of legacy EDGAR access codes, with the option to reset remaining until December 19, 2025.

    In alignment with the SEC’s updates, Microsoft is enhancing security measures within its Entra platform by enforcing Modern Authentication protocols, including broader implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as a standard security measure. These updates complement the SEC’s adoption of EDGAR Next, underscoring the importance of advanced authentication practices to safeguard sensitive financial information.

    As the CEO of M2 Compliance, I am excited to announce that we are proactively guiding our clients through the forthcoming updates to the SEC’s EDGAR filing system under the EDGAR Next rule. This initiative is set to significantly enhance access to filer accounts, streamline account management, and bolster security protocols.

    At M2 Compliance, we recognize that navigating these changes can be challenging. Our dedicated team is here to provide comprehensive solutions and expertise to ensure a smooth adaptation to the new system requirements. We are committed to empowering you with the knowledge and resources necessary to confidently navigate the evolving regulatory landscape.

    MULTITUDE P.L.C. (C 109441)

    ST Business Centre, 120, The Strand

    Gzira, GZR 1027

    Malta

    NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF MULTITUDE P.L.C.

    Notice is given to the shareholders of Multitude P.L.C. (previously Multitude SE) (“Company” and/or “Multitude”) that an Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company is to be held on 23 October 2024 at 10:00 a.m. (EEST / Finnish time) (the “Meeting”).

    The Meeting will be held at the offices of Castrén & Snellman Attorneys Ltd, Eteläesplanadi 14, Helsinki, Finland. Instructions for participation are provided in section 3 of this notice.

    The Meeting is being convened following the transfer of the Company’s registered office from Finland to Malta in accordance with Article 8 of the Council Regulation (EC) No 2157/2001 of 8 October 2001 on the Statute for a European company (SE) on 30 June 2024, in order to adopt the Company’s final accounts as required pursuant to Section 11 of the Finnish European Companies Act (742/2004, as amended) (the “Finnish European Companies Act”) and to make certain related resolutions. Accordingly, for the purposes of Section 11 of the Finnish European Companies Act, the Meeting is deemed to be a meeting of shareholders (in Finnish: “osakkeenomistajien kokous”).

    The Meeting will be conducted in the English language and will be held in person.

    1        MATTERS ON THE AGENDA OF THE MEETING

    At the Meeting, the following matters will be considered:

    General:

    (1)        Opening of the Meeting and appointment of chairman

    The appointment of the chairman shall be carried out in terms of article 59 of the Company’s articles of association (the “Articles”).

    (2)        Quorum

    In terms of article 56 of the Articles at least one (1) shareholder, present in person or by proxy, entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting shall constitute a quorum.

    (3)        Calling the Meeting to Order

    (4)        Election of Persons to Scrutinise the Minutes and to Supervise the Counting of Votes

    (5)        Recording the Legality of the Meeting

    (6)        Recording the Attendance at the Meeting and Adoption of the List of Votes

    Special business (ordinary resolutions):

    (7)        Presentation and approval of the Final Accounts

    Pursuant to Section 11, Subsection 1 of the Finnish European Companies Act, the board of directors and the chief executive officer of a European company transferring its registered office from Finland must prepare final accounts as soon as possible after the transfer. The final accounts must include the financial statements and the board of directors’ report for the period for which financial statements have not yet been presented at the shareholders’ general meeting. The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) has approved the Company’s final accounts including the financial statements and the board of directors’ report for the period running from 1 January 2024 to 30 June 2024 (the “Final Accounts”). The Final Accounts are available on the Company’s website at www.multitude.com.

    The Board proposes that the Meeting resolves to adopt the Final Accounts.

    (8)        Resolution on Discharging the Members of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer from Liability

    Insofar as permitted under the Maltese Companies Act (chapter 386 of the laws of Malta), and in line with Finnish market practice, the Board proposes that the Meeting resolves to discharge the members of the Board and the chief executive officer of the Company (the “CEO”) from liability for the period covered by the Final Accounts (i.e., while the Company was still registered in Finland). The discharge of the members of the Board and the CEO from liability is a standard procedure under Finnish law following the approval of financial statements for a particular period.

    (9)        Closing of the Meeting

    2        MEETING MATERIALS

    This notice (which includes the proposals of the Board of Directors relating to the agenda of the Meeting) as well as the Final Accounts and the auditors’ report thereon are available on the Company’s website (www.multitude.com). Such documents will also be (a) sent to shareholders who so request and who inform the Company of their mailing address and (b) made available at the Meeting.

    The minutes of the Meeting will be made available on the Company’s website no later than one week after the date of the Meeting.

    3        PARTICIPATION INSTRUCTIONS

    IMPORTANT NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE DIFFERENT TO THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN IN PREVIOUS GENERAL MEETINGS OF THE COMPANY WHICH WERE HELD WHILE THE COMPANY WAS STILL REGISTERED IN FINLAND. YOU ARE THEREFORE ADVISED TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND SEEK ADVICE WHERE NEEDED. YOU ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT YOUR RESPECTIVE CUSTODIAN / NOMINEE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO agm@multitude.com FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

    3.1        Record date

    To be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting (and for the Company to be able to determine the number of votes that may be cast), shareholders must have been entered in the register of members maintained by Clearstream Banking AG (“Clearstream”) on 23 September 2024.

    3.2        Preliminary

    Shareholders are advised to ask their custodian bank / nominee without delay for the necessary information regarding registration for the Meeting, the issuing of proxy documents and voting instructions. In any case, shareholders should ensure that all relevant instructions are submitted by their custodian / nominee to Clearstream as soon as possible, within any applicable deadline. Clearstream will process all instructions received and will transmit them to the Malta Stock Exchange (as ‘issuer CSD’). In turn the Malta Stock Exchange will transmit the aggregated instructions to the Company.

    In terms of the Company’s articles of association, the Company must receive all relevant shareholder instructions from the Malta Stock Exchange (as ‘issuer CSD’) no later than 10:00 a.m. (EEST / Finnish time) on 21 October 2024, and any instructions submitted to the Company after this deadline shall not be treated as valid. Accordingly, shareholders are encouraged to reach out to the respective custodians / nominees as soon as possible in order to ensure that their respective instructions are submitted to Clearstream within any applicable deadline.

    The Meeting will be held in person at the address indicated above. Shareholders and proxy representatives who wish to attend the Meeting will therefore be required to follow the Meeting registration requirements and will be required to make their own arrangements to attend the Meeting.

    3.3        Participation in person

    Shareholders who wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person must notify their intention to their respective custodians / nominees as soon as possible. Custodians / nominees will in turn be required to notify shareholders’ intention to participate at the Meeting by electronic instruction to Clearstream as soon as possible and in line with any deadlines that may be imposed by Clearstream, which instructions must be delivered in terms of Clearstream’s existing procedures.

    Custodians/nominees may request shareholders’ full names, passport numbers/company registration numbers (or similar), full addresses, date of birth and daytime telephone number, number of shares in the Company, as well as, if applicable, details of proxies. Information submitted in connection with the notification will be computerised and used exclusively for the Meeting.

    3.4        Proxy representatives

    A shareholder, who is entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, is also entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote on such shareholder’s behalf. A proxy does not need to be a shareholder. The appointment of a proxy must be in writing and (a) where the shareholder is an individual, be signed by him/her or (b) where the shareholder is a corporation, be signed by a duly authorised officer of the corporation. The proxy form to be used by shareholders is available on the Company’s website: www.multitude.com.

    Proxy forms must clearly indicate whether the proxy is to vote as she/he wishes or in accordance with the voting instructions sheet attached to the proxy form. Shareholders are advised that by submitting voting instructions they will effectively be voting in advance.

    The signed proxy form and, where the shareholder is a corporation, a certified copy of a certificate of registration, constitutive documents or similar document evidencing the signatory right of the officer signing the proxy form, must be submitted to each shareholder’s respective custodian / nominee as soon as possible. Custodians / nominees will in turn be required to deliver shareholders’ proxy data to Clearstream as soon as possible, within any applicable deadline, which data must be delivered in terms of Clearstream’s existing procedures.

    Shareholders are, therefore, encouraged to send or deliver their proxy forms (and, if applicable certified copies of certificates of registration or similar) as soon as possible.

    Notice for the Malta Stock Exchange (as issuer CSD): Aggregated attendance notifications and proxy data processed by and received from Clearstream must be sent by the Malta Stock Exchange to the Company by email at agm@multitude.com not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the Meeting and in default shall not be treated as valid.

    3.5        Right to ask questions

    Each shareholder (or proxy holder) shall have the right to ask questions which are pertinent and related to items on the agenda of the Meeting to the Company by e-mail to agm@multitude.com by not later than 16 October 2024 by 23:59 (EEST / Finnish time).

    An answer to a question will not be given in those cases specified in article 70 of the Articles (a copy of which is available on the Company’s website).

    3.6        Other information

    As at the date of this notice the total number of shares in the Company is 21,723,960 and each of these shares carries one vote. As at the date of this notice, the Company holds 154,993 of its own shares as treasury shares. Pursuant to article 109 of the Maltese Companies Act, those shares which the Company holds in itself do not carry voting rights. Accordingly, the number of voting rights carried by the outstanding shares is 21,568,967.
