16:41 EDT FuboTV releases statement after winning preliminary Venu Sports injunction - FuboTV (FUBO) has been successful in stopping the launch of The Walt Disney Company (DIS), FOX Corp. (FOXA) and Warner Bros. Discovery's (WBD) Venu Sports joint venture after its request for a preliminary injunction was approved by the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York today. The ruling is significant as Fubo fought against three of the world's biggest media conglomerates to create a more competitive streaming marketplace for consumers. David Gandler, Fubo co-founder and CEO, commented: "Today's ruling is a victory not only for Fubo but also for consumers. This decision will help ensure that consumers have access to a more competitive marketplace with multiple sports streaming options. But our fight continues. Fubo has said all along that we seek equal treatment from these media giants, and a level playing field in our industry. The proposed joint venture was only the latest example of anticompetitive practices that The Walt Disney Company, FOX Corp. and Warner Bros. Discovery have consistently engaged in for many years. We believe these practices monopolize the market, stifle competition and cheat consumers from deserved choice. A fair and competitive marketplace is necessary to provide consumers with multiple, robust and more affordable sports streaming options. We will continue to fight for fairness and for what's best for consumers." Fubo had sought to stop the launch of the JV that would have controlled roughly 60%-80% of live broadcast sports content, according to its partners. Fubo presented evidence of the JV's primary effect of limiting competition, removing consumer choice, and ultimately leading to steep price hikes for consumers and boosting profits for the partners. Fubo's goal is to ensure a competitive sports streaming marketplace that offers consumers choice, affordable pricing, flexibility and innovation. All distributors should have the opportunity to compete in a fair market, according to Fubo. Fubo also intends to move forward with its lawsuit against the JV partners and their affiliates for antitrust practices. The suit, filed February 20, alleges that the vertically-integrated media companies have engaged in a years-long campaign to block Fubo's innovative sports-first streaming business resulting in significant harm to both Fubo and consumers. A court date for the antitrust lawsuit has not yet been announced.

07:32 EDT Xwell adopts tax benefits preservation plan - XWELL announced that its Board of Directors has adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan intended to preserve the value of certain of the Company's tax attributes related to previously recorded net operating losses. As of August 16, 2024, the Company has Tax Attributes which may entitle the Company to reduce taxable income with respect to the Company's current 2024 tax year. The Company currently has approximately $67.3 million of net operating losses available to offset taxable income. However, these Tax Attributes may be materially reduced or eliminated by a "change of ownership" of the Company under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, a change of ownership would occur if stockholders that own at least 5% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock increased their cumulative ownership in the Company by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. As part of the Plan, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of one Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchase right on each outstanding share of the Company's Common Stock. The dividend will be payable on August 26, 2024 to holders of record as of the close of business on August 26, 2024. Shares of the Company's Common Stock issued after the record date will be issued together with the Rights. The Rights are not currently exercisable and initially will trade only with the Company's Common Stock. However, if any person or group acquires 4.99% or more of the Company's Common Stock, or if a person or group that already owns 4.99% or more of the Company's Common Stock acquires one or more additional shares of Common Stock, then, subject to certain exceptions, the Rights would separate from the Common Stock and become exercisable for shares of the Company's Common Stock having a market value equal to twice the exercise price, resulting in significant dilution to the ownership interests of the acquiring person or group. The Plan includes a procedure pursuant to which the Company's Board of Directors may consider requests to exempt acquisitions of the Company's Common Stock from the Plan if it determines that doing so would not limit or impair the availability of the Tax Attributes. The Rights will expire on August 16, 2027. The Rights may also expire on an earlier date upon the occurrence of other events, including a determination by the Company's Board of Directors that the Tax Attributes have been utilized or are no longer available, or that the Plan is no longer necessary to protect the Tax Attributes. The Plan also may be terminated at any time by the Company's Board of Directors before the Rights become exercisable.

This proposed direct funding will support three new wafer fabs, two in Sherman, Texas, and one in Lehi, Utah, specifically to: Construct and build the SM1 cleanroom and complete pilot line for first production; Construct and build the LFAB2 cleanroom for first production; and Construct the SM2 shell. These connected, multi-fab sites benefit from shared infrastructure, talent and technology sharing, and a strong network of suppliers and community partners. They will produce semiconductors in 28nm to 130nm technology nodes, which provide the optimal cost, performance, power, precision and voltage levels required for TI's broad portfolio of analog and embedded processing products. TI will create more than 2,000 company jobs across its three new fabs in Texas and Utah, along with thousands of indirect jobs for construction, suppliers and supporting industries.
