DEADLINE ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of SelectQuote
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against SelectQuote, Inc. ('SelectQuote' or the 'Company') (NYSE:SLQT) and reminds investors of the October 10, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company. The complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements Share Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) that the Company was directing Medicare beneficiaries to the plans offered by insurers that best compensated SelectQuote, regardless of the quality or suitability of the insurers' plans; (2) that SelectQuote did not provided unbiased comparison shopping for Medicare Advantage insurance plans; (3) that SelectQuote received illegal kickbacks to steer Medicare beneficiaries to certain insurers and limit enrollment in competitors' plans; (4) that as a result, SelectQuote had not complied with applicable laws, regulations, and contractual provisions; (5) that SelectQuote was vulnerable to regulatory and legal sanctions as a result of its conduct, including claims that it had violated the False Claims Act; and (6) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. On May 1, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice ('DOJ') filed a False Claims Act complaint against SelectQuote, alleging, '[f]rom 2016 through at least 2021' SelectQuote received 'tens of millions of dollars' in 'illegal kickbacks' from health insurance companies in exchange for steering Medicare beneficiaries to enroll in the insurers' plans. Further, SelectQuote, in exchange for kickbacks, engaged in a conspiracy with major insurers to illegally discriminate against beneficiaries deemed to be less profitable, including those with disabilities. The DOJ concluded that SelectQuote made materially false claims by stating it offers 'unbiased coverage comparisons' when in fact it 'repeatedly directed Medicare beneficiaries to the plans offered by insurers that paid them the most money, regardless of the quality or suitability of the insurers' plans.' On this news, SelectQuote's stock price fell $0.61, or 19.2%, to close at $2.56 per share on May 1, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume. The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not. Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding SelectQuote's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Canada could be trade winner as U.S. tariffs undershoot global competitors by wide margin, says report
The tariff rate imposed on Canadian exports by the United States is estimated to be the lowest amongst the world's trading countries, meaning that Canada could end up coming out ahead in Donald Trump's trade war, a new report says. Oxford Economics Group Ltd. estimates the U.S.'s current effective tariff rate on Canada is 2.5 per cent, placing it below Mexico at four per cent and well below other major U.S. trading partners. For example, the U.S. tariff rate is 35 per cent on China, 15 per cent on Japan, 13 per cent on South Korea and eight per cent on the United Kingdom and the European Union, based on data from calculated duties as a share of imports, Oxford said. 'If the relatively low tariffs apparently being paid on imports from Mexico and Canada persist, these two economies could pick up some benefits from shifts in supply chains, although uncertainties over the endgame for tariffs and the future of the (Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement) will be near-term drags,' Adam Slater, lead economist at Oxford Economics, said in the report. CUSMA-compliant goods escape U.S. tariffs, though the trade agreement is scheduled to be reviewed in July 2026, but some people, including Ontario Premier Doug Ford, think that deadline could be accelerated. The review also starts the clock ticking on the possible expiration of the agreement in 2036. Still, Slater described the current estimates for the tariff rates 'as something of a puzzle.' One set of trade data from the U.S. Census Bureau — specifically labelled CUSMA — indicates that 56 per cent of goods entering the U.S. from Canada and 47 per cent from Mexico are compliant with the agreement. Other Census Bureau data, based on rate provisions, suggests that 91 per cent and 84 per cent, respectively, are entering duty-free, though Oxford said it can't tell if that is due to CUSMA compliance or 'some other exemption.' 'It may be the case that tariff exemptions for these economies are broader than assumed,' Slater said. Slater said Oxford based its overall 2.5 per cent tariff rate for Canada on a higher level of CUSMA compliance, 'while not directly' adhering to the 91 per cent level. But trade between the U.S. and Canada hasn't escaped unscathed. 'The biggest negative impacts have been in Canada, where imports are down 25 per cent from January levels, and in China, where imports are down 50 per cent from January,' Slater said, adding that 'Chinese data on exports to the U.S. shows a much less dramatic decline of around 25 per cent since January,' possibly due to rerouting of goods through other countries. In Canada, 50 per cent tariffs on aluminum and steel exports to the U.S. persist, as do 25 per cent tariffs on the non-U.S. components of vehicles. Trump also recently hiked the tariff on non-CUSMA-compliant goods to 35 per cent from 25 per cent and announced an increased tariff on softwood lumber to 35 per cent. Oxford's report also warned that overall global trade is shrinking. 'A variety of indicators suggest that world trade is weakening,' Slater said, referencing various measures that indicated monthly global imports slowed three per cent in April and May, while an International Monetary Fund port tracker said growth in international exports declined to less than one per cent. 'Other sea and air freight indicators show similar trends,' he said. Oxford is estimating that world trade volumes shrunk by about three per cent from the second quarter to the first quarter of 2026, with world trade posting its weakest performance in a four-year period since the recession of the early 1980s. Canadian steelmakers need to focus on domestic market as tariffs lock them out of U.S.: Algoma CEO Trump put a tariff on gold — or did he? What you need to know about the bullion confusion It reduced its global gross domestic product estimate to 2.5 per cent — 'historically on the low side' — to 2.8 per cent from 2.9 per cent at the beginning of the year, Slater said. • Email: gmvsuhanic@ Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

Iconic US film company Kodak warns it may go out of business
The American company credited with revolutionizing amateur photography is warning it could go out of business after more than 130 years. The Rochester, New York-based Eastman Kodak Co. offered a bleak picture of its financials in earnings reports and filings, tracking a second quarter loss and sending shares tumbling in early trading Tuesday, Aug. 12. The iconic brand said in Monday, Aug. 11 government filings that there is "substantial doubt" about the company's ability to continue, as it faces more than $470 million in debt and slashes its pension plan in an attempt to remain afloat. "Kodak has debt coming due within twelve months and does not have committed financing or available liquidity to meet such debt obligations if they were to become due in accordance with their current terms," the company said in its filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Kodak became one of the most iconic American companies in the late 19th century with the introducton of the Kodak #1 camera in 1888, credited with making photography accessible to the everyday person. Though it rose to prominence for its film photography products, it struggled to adapt to the changing industry as digital imaging took over, with the company filing for bankruptcy in 2012. In recent years, it has pursued specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals. This camera revolutionized photography: Whatever happened to the Kodak Instamatic? Tariffs had no 'material impact' In its most recent earnings report, Kodak said its consolidated revenues were $263 million at the end of the quarter on June 30, a decrease of $4 million since the same period last year. Gross profit decreased 12% compared to last year's second quarter end, Kodak disclosed, and its cash balance sits at $155 million, marking a loss of just under 23% since the end of December. Jim Continenza, Kodak's Executive Chairman and CEO, said tariffs have not had a "material impact" on its businesses, noting the domestic production of many of its products such as printing plates, film, inkjet presses and inks and pharmaceutical ingredients. What's next for Kodak? Kodak's chief financial officer David Bullwinkle said in the company's Aug. 11 statement it plans to focus on its advanced chemicals and materials sector moving forward, and said the cut to its retirement program is going toward paying down its debt. He said the company expects to "have a clear understanding" by Friday, Aug. 15 of how it will meet its debt obligations. "For the second half of the year, we will continue to focus on reducing costs today and converting our investments into long-term growth," Bullwinkle said. The company was founded by George Eastman in 1889 and renamed a few years later to the Eastman Kodak Company. Eastman's Kodak Brownie camera introduced in 1900 made photography accessible to everyday Americans, later introducing color versions in the 1920s and 1930s, and offering the world's first digital camera in 1975.
