ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages CareDx, Inc. Investors With Losses Exceeding $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important July 22 Deadline in Securities Class Action – CDNA

NEW YORK, July 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of CareDx, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNA) between February 24, 2021 and May 5, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 22, 2022 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased CareDx 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 CareDx class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2700 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 22, 2022. 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 handle 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, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) defendants had engaged in a variety of improper and illegal schemes to inflate testing services revenue and demand, including pushing a surveillance protocol through inaccurate marketing materials, offering extravagant inducements or kickbacks to physicians and other providers, and improperly bundling expensive testing services with other blood tests as part of the RemoTraC service; (2) these practices, and others, subjected CareDx to an undisclosed risk of regulatory scrutiny; (3) these practices rendered the Company’s testing services revenue reported throughout the Class Period artificially inflated; and (4) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the CareDx class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=2700 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.

Gov’t transfers investigation team’s findings into Aqaba leak gas incident to Public Prosecution

The Cabinet held a session on Sunday, chaired by the Prime Minister, Dr. Bisher Khasawneh and was briefed on a report presented from the investigation team into Aqaba gas leak incident, by Minister of Interior / Team Head Mazen Farayah.

Speaking at the session, Khasawneh said the investigation team into Aqaba incident, which was formed according to his directives under Farayah’s chairmanship, accomplished its task with the “utmost” efficiency and professionalism.

The PM pointed out that the investigation team, which brought together representatives from Jordan’s security department and concerned authorities in Aqaba, had completed its work with all persons directly involved in procedures that led to this unfortunate, sad and “unacceptable” incident.

Khasawneh said: “We have committed ourselves to His Majesty King Abdullah II’s directives to present findings of the investigation team’s work to public opinion in all transparency and clarity.”

Based on the team’s work results, a set of procedures were taken, including service termination of a number of officials directly concerned with the incident, the premier announced.

The termination decisions included Director General of Aqaba Company for Ports Operation and Management (ACPOM), a number of its officials, and Director General of Jordan Maritime Authority (JMA), he added.

Khasawneh said: “It is clear from the incident that an unacceptable shortcoming occurred in public safety procedures in the Aqaba port, and in dealing with these dangerous materials and the chain of monitoring,” adding that instructions at the port, were “unfortunately ineffective and deficient.”

As for the other course of the investigation team’s work, he said a set of recommendations were made, in relation to the required improvements in the Aqaba port’s operations and its public safety system.

Response of the government and state institutions was “at a very high level of professionalism and contributed greatly to alleviating direct effects on the health and safety of people exposed to the incident’s impacts,” pointing out hospitals in Aqaba dealt with cases with “effectively and competently,” according to the premier.

The field hospital, which is affiliated with the Ministry of Health in Aqaba, dealt with 45% of injuries, in addition to treatment provided by Prince Hashem Hospital and some private hospitals, he noted.

All these medical institutions, whether from the Ministry of Health or the Jordanian Royal Medical Services or the private sector, performed their duties “efficiently and professionally,” he pointed out.

“We extend our sincerest condolences to the victims’ families and wish a speedy recovery for the injured,” he said, noting that a small number of injured people are still receiving treatment in hospitals as a result of incident, who are generally in good health condition.
