Mark Herr Communications Issues Statement Regarding the Sentencing of Anne Pramaggiore
Former Commonwealth Edison CEO Anne Pramaggiore, the only female CEO in the company's history, who turned around a failing electric utility and turned it into one of the country's best while cutting rates four times and reducing outages to historic lows, released the following statement today through a spokesman, Mark Herr Communications:
Statement
We are disappointed by the sentence imposed today. It is nearly impossible to reconcile the sentence– two years in prison – with the federal Probation Department's recommendation of no jail time and probation.
The sentence is even harder to fathom when the bribery charges were vacated by the Court after the Supreme Court ruled in Snyder and the Government did not seek to retry those counts.
With no bribery conviction, the sentence rests solely on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act allegations. There is nothing foreign or corrupt about the facts here.
In February when President Trump paused FCPA enforcement, he said the law 'has been systematically, and to a steadily increasing degree, stretched beyond proper bounds and abused in a manner that harms the interests of the United States.'
That has happened here. Ms. Pramaggiore faces jail despite the documents at issue being true. Chicago is not a foreign jurisdiction.
Ms. Pramaggiore, a civic leader, trailblazing electric utilities executive, the only female CEO in Commonwealth Edison's history -- and an innocent woman -- will appeal the verdict and sentence to the Seventh Circuit and, if necessary, to the Supreme Court.

MicroStrategy Drops 5% Despite Major Crypto Policy Win in Washington
MicroStrategy (MSTR, Financials), the largest corporate holder of bitcoin (BTC-USD), slid more than 5% Friday afternoon even as the crypto industry scored a legislative win long seen as transformational. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 9 Warning Signs with MSTR. The U.S. House passed the CLARITY Act, a sweeping bill that finally splits crypto regulation between the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Industry leaders called it a milestone for American innovation. The bill now heads to the Senate. The move follows last week's passage of the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin-focused bill expected to unlock new capital flows into digital assets. Executives at Ripple and Coinbase called the two bills foundational for the future of U.S. crypto markets. Yet the good news didn't lift MicroStrategy, which often trades in line with bitcoin sentiment. Shares opened flat but turned lower, trading near $424 down over 5% even as bitcoin hovered around $117,500. Analysts say the divergence may be due to short-term market pressures, with some pointing to MSTR's highly leveraged exposure to bitcoin and recent profit-taking after a sharp rally.

NXP Shares Decline After Forecast Fails to Impress Investors
(Bloomberg) -- NXP Semiconductors NV shares slid in late trading after the chipmaker's third-quarter forecast was less bullish than some investors had anticipated. Why the Federal Reserve's Building Renovation Costs $2.5 Billion Milan Corruption Probe Casts Shadow Over Property Boom Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom How San Jose's Mayor Is Working to Build an AI Capital Revenue in the period will be $3.05 billion to $3.25 billion, the Dutch company said in a statement on Monday. Though the midpoint of that range topped the average Wall Street estimate, some analysts predicted a number above $3.3 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The outlook suggests that NXP is still contending with a turbulent industry. The company is heavily reliant on the automotive sector, which accounts for more than half of its revenue and has been hit by US President Donald Trump's tariff campaign. The levies have upended global supply chains and triggered uncertainty over customer orders. Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon described the report as 'mostly fine,' but said it didn't quite match the 'whisper' numbers that some were hoping for. The stock fell about 5% in extended trading. It had closed at $228.27 in New York on Monday, leaving it up almost 10% for the year. NXP revenue fell 6% to $2.93 billion in the second quarter, roughly in line with analysts' estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The midpoint of its third-quarter forecast suggests that sales will decline 3% from a year earlier. Third-quarter guidance 'may have disappointed the market,' Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Ken Hui said in a note. But it's consistent with his expectation that the company will keep inventories below the long-term target as NXP copes with 'an uncertain market backdrop.' Chief Executive Officer Kurt Sievers struck an upbeat tone about the current quarter, saying it would reflect 'improvement in NXP's core end markets.' Earnings will be $2.89 to $3.30 a share, excluding some items, the company said. Analysts had projected $3.06 a share. Second-quarter earnings amounted to $2.72 a share on that basis, beating the $2.68 estimate. The CEO had said during the April earnings call that the second quarter was expected to mark 'a bit of a turning point,' as customer orders stabilized. Like its peers, NXP also has been struggling with a stubborn glut of chips that help power electric cars and manufacturing operations. This oversupply has weighed down sales for much of the industry for more than 18 months as demand for electric vehicles outside of China has fallen. Weaker demand in the auto and industrial segments could be a drag on sales for NXP and rivals Infineon Technologies AG and STMicroelectronics NV. Last week, Renault SA slashed its guidance for this year's operating margins because of intensifying competition and a decline in the auto market. Stellantis NV on Monday reported a surprise first-half net loss. Bloomberg Intelligence's Hui said in a note last week that automotive chipmakers 'may see stronger pricing pressure and the end of tariff-beating restocking demand from European customers after Renault cut its outlook' due to strong competition and declines in the vehicle market. Additionally, industrial revenue recovery 'may be unsustainable after factory-automation leader Yaskawa reported 1Q orders that were weaker than expectations, particularly in China, and cut full-year forecasts to include tariff risks,' Hui wrote earlier this month. --With assistance from Ian King.
