SHAREHOLDER ALERT: WeissLaw LLP Investigates TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — WeissLaw LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of law by the board of directors of TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd. («TAT» or the «Company») (NYSE American: TAT) in connection with the proposed interested-party acquisition of the Company by TAT Holdco LLC, a group of investors that controls all of the Company’s outstanding Series A preferred shares («Preferred Shareholders»). Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company’s shareholders will receive only $0.13 in cash for each share of TAT common stock that they own.

If you own TAT shares and wish to discuss this investigation or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, visit our website:

WeissLaw is investigating whether the special committee of TAT’s board was truly independent and acted to maximize shareholder value in agreeing to the proposed transaction, whether the special committee was fully informed as to the valuation of the proposed acquisition of the Company, and whether all information regarding the valuation of the deal will be fully and fairly disclosed to TAT shareholders. These issues are of particular concern given the influence and control the Preferred Shareholders can wield over TAT by virtue of their ownership of all of the Company’s Series A preferred shares. Moreover, the per-share offer price is significantly lower than the analyst target price of $1.89, suggesting the special committee may have agreed to an undervalued deal at the behest of the Preferred Shareholders.

WeissLaw LLP has litigated hundreds of stockholder class and derivative actions for violations of corporate and fiduciary duties. We have recovered over a billion dollars for defrauded clients and obtained important corporate governance relief in many of these cases. If you have information or would like legal advice concerning possible corporate wrongdoing (including insider trading, waste of corporate assets, accounting fraud, or materially misleading information), consumer fraud (including false advertising, defective products, or other deceptive business practices), or anti-trust violations, please email us at stockinfo@weisslawllp.com

We congratulate the winners for their accomplishments.»

HAP’s Achievement Awards program has recognized Pennsylvania hospital excellence since 1978. Entries were evaluated by a 16-judge panel. The panelists, drawn from Pennsylvania and across the nation, represented the public and private sectors, business organizations, consumer groups, and renowned health care quality institutes.

Wyatt Law Firm, Carabin Shaw Partner To Help COVID-19 Patients

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — San Antonio-area law firms Wyatt Law Firm, PLLC, and Carabin Shaw are partnering to assist the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center’s (STBTC) efforts to collect convalescent plasma for COVID-19 patients. The two firms will provide $50,000.00 each — $100,000.00 total — in gift cards to encourage South Texans who have recovered from COVID-19 to donate convalescent plasma. Donors will receive a…

Convalescent plasma contains antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19 and may provide passive immunity to certain patients with severe forms of the illness. The plasma is used to treat patients with active infections, and it is one of the few treatments available for COVID-19.

The gift cards are supplied by the firms and are not funded by the South Texas Blood & Tissue Center, a subsidiary of BioBridge Global. The gift cards will be distributed while supplies last.

STBTC is supplying hospitals with convalescent plasma and plans to stockpile plasma donations for any future surges in demand. The average plasma donation provides enough for three doses, which are transfused to patients in hopes of helping their immune systems fight off a COVID-19 infection.

«The fight isn’t over, so we need to continue to collect plasma from recovered COVID-19 patients,» said Paula Wyatt, Founding Partner of Wyatt Law Firm. «The Greater San Antonio community has done so much for us, and we want to do our part to make San Antonio strong and healthy.»

«We felt it was vital for us to encourage people to make a lifesaving plasma donation,» said Jamie Shaw, a partner at Carabin Shaw. «It’s critically important to our community, and we want to encourage others to step up and help.»

Representatives from Wyatt Law Firm and Carabin Shaw met with STBTC representatives and San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg at the STBTC Donor Pavilion earlier today to announce the program and take questions from the media.

Nationally, blood centers collecting convalescent plasma are, by the end of August, looking to double the 100,000 doses given to patients so far. STBTC has provided more than 4,400 of those doses.

STBTC is the only organization in this area collecting convalescent plasma that can be transfused directly to patients with COVID-19. The center is taking donations by appointment only at the Donor Pavilion in San Antonio and its donor room in Victoria, Texas. Interested donors can learn more by visiting SouthTexasBlood.org or emailing COVID19@SouthTexasBlood.org. All donors must contact the center and be screened for COVID-19 antibody levels and symptoms before donating. If you haven’t had COVID-19, you can still help by donating blood to help address the current critical need.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update: Daily Roundup

SILVER SPRING, Md., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today continued to take action in the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

As part of the FDA’s effort to protect consumers, the agency issued a warning letter to one firm for selling unapproved products with fraudulent COVID-19 claims. The company, <a target="_blank"…

SILVER SPRING, Md., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today continued to take action in the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

As part of the FDA’s effort to protect consumers, the agency issued a warning letter to one firm for selling unapproved products with fraudulent COVID-19 claims. The company, H-Lab Life, sells «Multi-Use Spray» products, with misleading claims that the products can mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure COVID-19 in people. There are currently no FDA-approved products to prevent or treat COVID-19. FDA requested that H-Lab Life immediately cease selling these unapproved products. Consumers concerned about COVID-19 should consult with their health care provider.
FDA has taken additional action to help ensure that hand sanitizers produced under the agency’s temporary guidances do not contain unsafe levels of methanol. FDA has updated its guidances to provide clarification that companies test each lot of the active ingredient (ethanol or isopropyl alcohol (IPA)) for methanol, if the ethanol or IPA is obtained from another source. FDA has also included an additional denaturant formula in the temporary guidances. Denaturing alcohol in hand sanitizers is critical to deter children from unintentional ingestion. Consumer and health care personnel safety is a top priority for FDA, and an important part of FDA’s mission is to protect the public from harm, especially as we seek to facilitate an increase in the supply of hand sanitizer.
FDA issued an Emergency Use Authorization to George Washington University Public Health Laboratory for its GWU SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test. This molecular test is for use by health care providers for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in upper respiratory specimens (e.g., nasal, mid-turbinate, nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs) from individuals suspected of having contracted COVID-19. Administration of this test is limited to the George Washington University Public Health Laboratory.
Testing updates:

To date, the FDA has currently authorized 208 tests under EUAs; these include 169 molecular tests, 37 antibody tests, and 2 antigen tests.

DHCD Financing Helps Preserve 13 Affordable Housing Units in Ward 4

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) has provided $2 million in financing that will help preserve 13 units of affordable housing for low-income households in Ward 4.

…

«This project is another example of tenants coming together to not only find a way to keep their units affordable, but also improve their standard of living through shared equity,» said DHCD Director Polly Donaldson. «We’re excited to help them preserve affordable units and remain proud District residents.»

HOPE Cooperative Association, a tenant-formed cooperative founded in 2014, has been awarded $2 million in Housing Production Trust Fund (HPTF) financing to rehabilitate their 13-unit building located at 1445 Spring Road NW. The units, which all feature one bedroom, will be affordable for households who annually earn between $26,450 and $80,650.

Six units will be reserved for extremely low income households that are recipients of rent subsidies from the DC Housing Authority’s (DCHA) Local Rent Subsidy Program. A covenant will keep all units affordable in perpetuity.

The building will undergo a complete update of its electrical, plumbing and mechanical systems along with improved safety measures to ensure compliance with current building codes. Updates will also include new roofing for the building, new kitchen appliances and controllable heating and air conditioning for each unit.

The project also helps retain the current supply of affordable housing units in the Rock Creek East planning area and contributes to the goal of having more than 4,100 affordable units in the area by 2025.

The project is estimated to be completed in Fall 2021.

Kaiser Permanente Commits $63M to Support Contact Tracing in California

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Kaiser Permanente, the nation’s largest nonprofit, integrated health care system, is committing $63 million to support California’s contact-tracing work in order to reduce the number of Californians who contract COVID-19.

<a…

This support, in the form of charitable grant funding to the Public Health Institute, will create agile community health teams hired from within communities that have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 to support the critical work of local public health departments. The support teams will be embedded in clinical settings to rapidly respond to COVID-19 hot spots and support ongoing contact-tracing efforts while ensuring high levels of privacy and security. This funding will also connect Californians in self-imposed isolation and quarantine with supportive services to assist with food, housing, childcare, and other needs.

«We must reduce the spread of COVID-19 and care for the communities that are being hit hardest by the virus,» said Kaiser Permanente Chairman and CEO Greg A. Adams. «The recent increase of cases in California demonstrates the importance of being able to accurately track the virus and respond when and where it begins to surge in order to save lives. We are committed to helping the state deploy a robust contact-tracing strategy that will help Californians safely regain their livelihoods.»

The work is being undertaken in collaboration with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration, with the aim of reducing the number of Californians who contract COVID-19. The effort will add up to 500 people in clinical settings to support the state’s contact-tracing effort, which will help facilitate safe reopening for businesses and schools. Futuro Health, a nonprofit founded by Kaiser Permanente and SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West, will coordinate with the Public Health Institute to guide these new hires into allied health careers.

Preventing just one COVID-19 infection now can lead to big reductions of cases over time. For example, if each infected person transmits the disease to just two people, the size of the outbreak grows exponentially, with the potential for an additional 30 people to be infected by a four-step chain of transmission. In contrast, more than two dozen additional infections would be prevented if contact tracing succeeds in stopping each person from infecting just one other person.

However, getting to that point has been hampered by limitations on resources to scale up needed infrastructure and a robust workforce. By creating culturally competent teams that can rapidly be deployed to address communities’ specific conditions, Kaiser Permanente and the Public Health Institute aim to bridge that gap.

«Kaiser Permanente’s support will allow us to initiate a rapid response network that can slow the spread of COVID-19. With teams based right within a clinic, we can offer support to people from the moment they realize they may have been exposed,» said Mary Pittman, DrPH, president and CEO of PHI. «And because we are focusing on hiring from within the community, they’ll be getting information and resources from people they trust, in the language they are most comfortable speaking.»

Kaiser Permanente is partnering closely with health leaders across the state to determine where to begin these efforts, based on several factors, including the burden of COVID-19 disease, adequate testing capacity, and where communities are in need or challenged by disparities. Black and Latinx communities have borne the disproportionate impact of COVID-19.

«COVID-19 is a public health threat unlike any we have seen before, and combating it requires coordination across our state’s public and private health systems,» said California Gov. Gavin Newsom. «I’m grateful for Kaiser Permanente’s continued contributions to our public health efforts and anticipate the positive impact this work to support contact tracing will have on our COVID-19 response.»

These targeted funds are part of a recent, broader cash infusion in California’s COVID-19 response infrastructure. In addition to the state’s allocation of $150 million in supplemental funding to support contact tracing in local jurisdictions, a group of philanthropic partners have committed $18 million of a planned $25 million fund targeted to support California residents who have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, along with community-based organizations. This pooled fund will also be implemented by the Public Health Institute.

Kaiser Permanente serves approximately one-quarter of California’s 39.5 million residents, with 9.2 million members in the state. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the organization has also invested in household prevention efforts to keep family members from infecting each other, implemented strict precautions in its hospitals and medical offices to protect employees and patients, and has partnered with the state on a number of efforts including its COVID-19 Testing Task Force.

«This new funding initiative will also connect people who need to stay home with necessary resources, such as food assistance, housing assistance, child care, pharmacy deliveries, and much more,» said Cynthia Telles, Community Health Committee chair for the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals Boards of Directors. «We want people to know that when they stay home to protect other people in their communities from getting sick, they will have support.»
