WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of HireRight Holdings Corporation (NYSE: HRT) pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus (collectively, the “Offering Documents”) issued in connection with HireRight’s October 2021 initial public offering (the “IPO”), of the important June 3, 2024 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased HireRight securities 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 HireRight class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=23874 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@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 June 3, 2024. 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 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, the Offering Documents made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) HireRight was exposed to customers with significant employment and hiring risk and HireRight derived greater revenue growth from existing client hiring than from new client hiring; (2) as a result, HireRight’s revenue growth was unsustainable to the extent that it relied on the stability of its current customers’ hiring and/or the profitability of securing new customers; (3) accordingly, HireRight had overstated its post-IPO business and/or prospects; and (4) as a result, defendants’ statements about HireRight’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 HireRight class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=23874 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@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.

Our iconic company is looking forward with confidence and an innovative spirit, two notions captured elegantly in our new logo and brand evolution,” said Éric Martel, President and CEO, Bombardier. “Our clients worldwide are leaders who shape the world and who expect us to deliver a truly memorable experience. When asking them what sets Bombardier apart, the notion of ‘like family’ comes back time and again as a true differentiator.”

Martel added: “Finally, Bombardier would not be where it is today without the best people. They are true masters of their craft, bridging some of the world’s most complex technology with a highly personal and passionate approach to aircraft interior artistry, defense modifications, 24-7 services and much more. Our new company brand honours these highest standards our people themselves have set for our industry.”

A new logo, inspired by innovation and heritage

The new Bombardier logo celebrates the company’s successful shift toward building, designing, servicing and modifying the world’s best jets. The symbol itself, the Bombardier Mach, features the silhouette of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier—an ode to the ambition and innovative spirit of Bombardier’s talented people—while the strokes of wind over an aircraft reference the company’s deeply rooted heritage and the Learjet brand’s storied winglet iconography.

“This evolved brand is a catalyst for Bombardier to differentiate itself as a global leader, not just amongst aerospace and defense peers, but proudly with the world’s leading inspirational brands,” said Ève Laurier, Vice President, Communications, Marketing and Public Affairs, Bombardier. “Our brand has been crafted to coherently tie notions of our heritage and precision-driven engineering. The brand describes our future, in which we will express a heightened sophistication of our technology, how our employees master their craft and, above all, the customer experience.”

Laurier added: “Bombardier’s new impactful logo echoes the pride and passion we all have for our industry and will further be supported by a suite of evocative imagery featuring Bombardier’s own team members at the peak of their respective craft. Their work to elevate performance and sustainability in business aviation, services and defense continues to redefine the industry.”

Fusing technology with the notions of customer experience and sophistication is further reflected in the bespoke typeface leveraged by the new logo. The typeface is both modern and refined with subtle serifs that connect to the language of the symbol and highlight Bombardier’s passion for precision.

Forward-looking, forward-thinking

The Bombardier Global 8000* aircraft is a key example of this. This “flagship of a new era” is set to enter service in the second half of 2025⁽¹⁾ as the ultimate all-in-one jet, delivering the fastest speed, longest range and the smoothest ride in the industry. In parallel, Bombardier has further taken the lead on the future of aircraft design with the EcoJet research project, a groundbreaking initiative that leverages the blended-wing-body aircraft configuration to reduce emissions by up to 50%⁽¹⁾.

Bombardier Defense will also carry forward its mission as a flexible and reliable ally to worldwide governments and militaries. The group will continue operating under the Bombardier Defense flag, offering innovative capabilities equipped on aircraft such as the Bombardier Global 6500, which are changing what is possible in the surveillance, reconnaissance and multi-mission spaces, and more.
