Modern Health Welcomes New Chief Technology Officer and General Counsel
Article content New Data from Modern Health Reinforces Proven Model and Offers Fresh Insight into Evolving Workforce Needs Article content SAN FRANCISCO — Modern Health, a leading global workplace mental health platform, today announced the appointments of Chen Cheng as Chief Technology Officer and Erin Brown as General Counsel, along with other company momentum, as it accelerates its mission to make mental health care more accessible, personalized, and effective worldwide. Article content In her role as Chief Technology Officer, Chen Cheng will oversee the company's technology and further scale the platform to provide high-quality, clinically rigorous care across the globe. She brings more than a decade of experience in the health technology sector to Modern Health, including roles at Oscar Health and ZocDoc. As technology plays an increasingly critical role in expanding access to mental health care and support, evidenced by the growing engagement with virtual therapy, coaching, and digital tools, Chen will leverage her tech experience and leadership to help Modern Health advance its innovations. Article content Erin Brown joins Modern Health as General Counsel, bringing more than 20 years of legal experience across the health and benefits space. Brown has amassed a proven track record of guiding high-growth organizations through complex legal and regulatory environments. Prior to Modern Health, Brown was Senior Vice President and Associate General Counsel at Alight Solutions and, before that, Associate General Counsel at Aon Hewitt. Her expertise and strategic counsel will be key as Modern Health continues to expand its global footprint and innovate responsibly in a rapidly evolving industry. Article content 'Welcoming exceptional leaders like Chen and Erin marks an exciting step forward for Modern Health,' said Matt Levin, CEO of Modern Health. 'They each bring a powerful combination of industry expertise and a passion for making mental health care more accessible, personalized, and effective. Their leadership will accelerate our momentum as we scale our impact, drive innovation, and continue delivering meaningful outcomes for the workplaces we support worldwide.' Article content In addition to these appointments, other recent company momentum includes: Article content Modern Health has been named to the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list highlights companies that have demonstrated significant revenue growth over a three-year period and serves as a benchmark for entrepreneurial success and a platform for recognizing the contributions of these businesses to the US economy. Modern Health launches ROI Study that proves mental health care pays off: According to a third-party analysis of 13,000+ members, the most significant savings (60% of total savings) in health care spend for employers come from reaching more employees earlier with support that fits their needs before symptoms escalate. Modern Health's evidence-based Adaptive Care Model delivers an estimated $2.39 return for every dollar invested, based solely on health care cost savings. These compelling findings underscore how Modern Health's Adaptive Care Model improves outcomes and drives down costs by supporting the whole workforce—not just those with severe mental health concerns. Peer-reviewed data shows Modern Health's global mental health model works anywhere: In one of the largest and most diverse real-world studies of its kind, Modern Health examined engagement and clinical outcomes among more than 33,000 members across seven global regions to understand not only how mental health needs vary across regions but also whether a single care model could truly work at a global scale. The study proves that achieving global scale requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach; it demands an adaptive, evidence-based model designed to deliver meaningful results across diverse regions and populations. Modern Health's latest study paints a stark picture of how Gen Z and Millennial employees are faring: In a study of 1,000 American professionals aged 18 to 44, the findings reveal a generation silently struggling under the weight of burnout, financial anxiety, and workplace systems that haven't kept pace with their needs. Among the most striking statistics: 75% blame financial stress for fueling burnout and hurting productivity, 79% sacrifice mental health to meet work demands, and 96% want access to preventative mental health support. The workplace report highlights a troubling reality: too many young workers are quietly pushing through mounting mental health challenges just to keep up at work, underscoring the urgent need to meet people earlier, with care that's proactive, adaptive, and designed to support the mental health of entire workforce populations. Launch of FlexEAP Challenges Outdated Employee Assistance Programs: Modern Health recently launched FlexEAP ('Flex'), a next-gen Employee Assistance Program (EAP) addressing the critical shortcomings of traditional EAPs by delivering rapid access to care, adaptive support extending far beyond crisis intervention, and a seamless, consistent global experience. The product combines Modern Health's Adaptive Care Model with an elite, global provider network to deliver a seamless, personalized mental health experience. Employees can access care, on average, within 24 hours, with fast, frictionless support across therapy, coaching, crisis intervention, and digital self-guided tools. Flex delivers superior outcomes and an upgraded, consumer-grade experience compared to traditional EAPs, while offering flexible pricing, customizable solutions, and risk-sharing based on utilization—empowering employers to better manage costs. Expanded Languages for Pathways: Modern Health is proud to offer its Pathways Collections, offering tailored one-on-one support around a variety of topics, including Workplace Well-being, Family Care, and Physical Well-Being, as a truly multilingual product. Now, members can connect with a Pathway Provider in six additional languages — Spanish, Dutch, Hindi, Portuguese, Japanese, and French.

Deadline Approaching: Lineage, Inc. (LINE) Investors Who Lost Money Urged To Contact Law Offices of Howard G. Smith
Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming September 30, 2025 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Lineage, Inc. ('Lineage' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: LINE) common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the registration statement used in connection with the Company's July 2024 initial public offering (the 'IPO'). IF YOU ARE AN INVESTOR WHO SUFFERED A LOSS IN LINEAGE, INC. (LINE), CONTACT THE LAW OFFICES OF HOWARD G. SMITH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ONGOING SECURITIES FRAUD LAWSUIT. Contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss your legal rights by email at howardsmith@ by telephone at (215) 638-4847 or visit our website at What Happened? In July 2024, Lineage conducted its IPO, selling over 65 million shares of common stock at $78 per share. On November 6, 2024, Lineage released its third quarter 2024 financial results, revealing that it had suffered a $543 million net loss during the quarter. On this news, Lineage's stock price fell $5.22, or 7.4%, to close at $65.79 per share on November 6, 2024, thereby injuring investors. Then, on January 14, 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported that Lineage was laying off employees due to reduced customer demand only six months after its IPO. Then, on April 7, 2025, Lineage announced the dismissal of its auditor, KPMG LLP. On this news, Lineage's stock price fell $5.29, or 9.9%, over two consecutive trading days, to close at $48.41 per share on April 8, 2025. Then, on April 30, 2025, Lineage reported first quarter 2025 financial results, including that '[t]otal revenue decreased (2.7)%' to $1.29 billion for the quarter. The Company stated it 'experienced more normal seasonal trends in the first quarter after multiple years of elevated inventory levels.' On this news, Lineage's stock price fell $8.16, or 14.62%, to close at $47.65 per share on April 30, 2025, thereby injuring investors further. On June 3, 2025, the Company stated at an Investor Conference that there has been 'pretty much flat demand' for Lineage's products and services and that the Company was operating in a 'flattish environment' in terms of demand. The price of Lineage stock has remained substantially below the IPO price at the time of this complaint's filing. What Is The Lawsuit About? The complaint filed in this class action alleges that the Registration Statement made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Lineage was then experiencing sustained weakening in customer demand, as additional cold-storage supply had come on line, the Company's customers destocked a glut of excessive inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Company's customers shifted to maintaining leaner cold-storage inventories on a go-forward basis in response to changed consumer trends; (2) that Lineage had implemented price increases in the lead-up to the IPO that could not be sustained in light of the weakening demand environment facing the Company; (3) that Lineage was unable to effectively counteract the adverse trends listed in the foregoing through the use of minimum storage guarantees or as a result of operational efficiencies, technological improvements, or its purported competitive advantages; (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, rather than enjoying stable revenue growth, high occupancy rates, and steady rent escalation as represented in the Registration Statement, Lineage was in fact suffering from stagnant or falling revenue, occupancy rates, and rent prices; and (5) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Lineage common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the IPO, you may move the Court no later than September 30, 2025 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements.
