    Atossa Therapeutics and Calidi Biotherapeutics Interviews to Air on the RedChip Small Stocks, Big Money(TM) Show on Bloomberg TV

    ORLANDO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 1, 2025 / RedChip Companies will air interviews with Calidi Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American:CLDI) and Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATOS) on the RedChip Small Stocks, Big Money™ show, a sponsored program on Bloomberg TV this Saturday, August 2, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). Bloomberg TV is available in an estimated 73 million homes across the U.S.

    Access the interviews in their entirety at:

    In an exclusive interview, Eric Poma, Ph.D., CEO of Calidi Biotherapeutics, appears on the RedChip Small Stocks Big Money™ show on Bloomberg TV to discuss Calidi’s pioneering approach to precision genetic medicine, enabled by its proprietary RedTail platform-an engineered, systemically delivered viral therapy designed to reach metastatic sites and deliver genetic medicines to treat tumors. The platform cloaks potent genetic payloads, such as IL-15 superagonist, within a human-derived envelope, allowing the virus to evade immune detection and circulate throughout the body. Preclinical data showcased at AACR and ASCO demonstrated that a single dose of Calidi’s lead candidate, CLD-401, not only eliminated metastatic tumors but also primed immune memory, offering the potential to prevent recurrence. With its scalable, non-integrating viral backbone and ability to deliver multiple genetic payloads, RedTail positions Calidi to address a vast oncology market projected to exceed $560 billion by 2033. The company is advancing toward IND filing in 2026, while exploring strategic pharma partnerships to support global commercialization. Calidi’s capital-efficient business model, strengthened balance sheet, and next-generation pipeline targeting both cancer and autoimmune diseases highlight its strong potential to deliver value to shareholders.

    Dr. Steven Quay, CEO of Atossa Therapeutics, appears on the RedChip Small Stocks Big Money™ show on Bloomberg TV to discuss Atossa’s strategic approach to redefining breast cancer treatment through its lead clinical candidate, (Z)-endoxifen – a next-generation SERM with best-in-class potential. With a focus on metastatic breast cancer, where current therapies often fall short, Atossa is advancing multiple Phase 2 studies that demonstrate strong clinical activity, improved tolerability, and a favorable safety profile. The presentation will highlight recent progress across key development programs, upcoming milestones, and how the Company’s differentiated science and capital-efficient model are designed to deliver both clinical impact and long-term shareholder value.

  • Clear Start Tax Warns 1099 Truckers: Unpaid Taxes Could Lead to License Suspensions and Seized Refunds

    Clear Start Tax Warns 1099 Truckers: Unpaid Taxes Could Lead to License Suspensions and Seized Refunds

    With IRS enforcement on the rise, self-employed truck drivers face growing financial and legal risks from unfiled returns and unpaid tax debt.

    IRVINE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / August 1, 2025 / As IRS collections intensify in 2025, a growing number of self-employed truck drivers are facing serious consequences for falling behind on their taxes – including the suspension of commercial licenses and the seizure of federal tax refunds, according to a new warning from Clear Start Tax, a nationwide tax resolution firm.

    The warning comes amid increased scrutiny of 1099 workers and rising reports of enforcement actions that are disproportionately impacting independent contractors in industries like trucking, where many drivers are responsible for handling their own tax filings and payments.

    “Most 1099 truckers aren’t trying to avoid taxes – they’re just overwhelmed by inconsistent income, complicated deductions, and rising operating costs,” said a spokesperson from Clear Start Tax. “Unfortunately, the IRS doesn’t distinguish between intentional evasion and simple disorganization.”

    Clear Start Tax notes that truckers with unpaid taxes or unfiled returns may see their CDL flagged during background checks or compliance reviews, which can jeopardize their livelihood. In some states, drivers have reported license holds or suspensions tied to unresolved tax issues.

    “We’re seeing more cases where tax debt causes ripple effects: seized refunds, rejected loan applications, even blocked license renewals,” the spokesperson added. “For truckers who rely on every mile to make a living, these disruptions can be devastating.”

    To avoid penalties, garnishments, and potential enforcement actions, Clear Start Tax urges 1099 truckers to act early – by filing any missing returns, reviewing estimated tax payments, and exploring relief programs like the IRS Fresh Start initiative.

    “There are options to settle what you owe – often for less than the full amount – but waiting only limits what can be done,” said the spokesperson. “Truckers shouldn’t wait until the IRS pulls them off the road.”

    About Clear Start Tax
    Clear Start Tax is a nationwide tax resolution company that helps individuals and small businesses resolve IRS and state tax debt through proven strategies and personalized support. From unfiled returns to wage garnishments, the team specializes in helping taxpayers regain control of their finances with compassion and clarity.

  • Moderna Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business Updates

    Moderna Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Business Updates

    Reports second quarter revenues of $0.1 billion, GAAP net loss of $(0.8) billion and GAAP EPS of $(2.13)

    Updates 2025 projected revenue range to $1.5 to $2.2 billion, reflecting a $300 million reduction at the high end, primarily driven by timing of deliveries for contracted revenue into the first quarter of 2026

    Improves 2025 expected GAAP operating expenses by approximately $400 million to a range of $5.9 to $6.1 billion

    Reiterates 2025 expected year-end cash balance of approximately $6 billion

    Announced three recent U.S. FDA approvals and positive Phase 3 efficacy results for seasonal influenza vaccine

    CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 1, 2025 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today reported financial results and provided business updates for the second quarter of 2025.

    “In the last three months, we advanced our pipeline with positive Phase 3 flu vaccine efficacy data and expanded our commercial portfolio with three new U.S. FDA approvals to drive future sales growth,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “Today, we are updating our 2025 financial framework, reducing the high end of this year’s expected revenue range by $300 million due to the timing of shipments. We continue to operate with financial discipline and are improving expected annual operating expenses in 2025 by approximately $400 million. Looking forward, we have important catalysts over the next six months across our infectious disease and oncology programs that will help us deliver on the promise of our mRNA platform for patients.”

    Recent progress includes:

    Commercial Updates

    COVID19: The Company reported $114 million in Spikevax® sales in the second quarter of 2025, which includes $88 million of U.S. sales and $26 million of international sales. Moderna recently announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Spikevax in children 6 months through 11 years of age who are at increased risk for COVID-19 disease. The Company’s COVID-19 vaccine (mRNA-1273) was previously available for pediatric populations under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Additionally, the Company announced it has received final approval from the European Medicines Agency for Spikevax targeting the LP.8.1 variant in individuals six months of age and older. Moderna also announced FDA approval for mNEXSPIKE® (mRNA-1283), a next-generation vaccine against COVID-19, for use in all adults aged 65 and older, as well as individuals aged 12-64 years with at least one underlying risk factor.

    RSV: The Company reported negligible mRESVIA® sales in the second quarter of 2025. Moderna’s RSV vaccine for adults aged 60 years and older has been approved in approximately 40 countries. Additionally, Moderna recently announced that the FDA has approved mRESVIA (mRNA-1345), expanding the previous indication, for the prevention of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV in individuals 18-59 years of age who are at increased risk for disease.

    Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

    Revenue: Total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $142 million, a 41% decrease from $241 million in the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily driven by lower COVID vaccine sales, which totaled $114 million in the quarter. Demand is expected to be concentrated in the second half of the year, aligning with the fall and winter seasons as the vaccine continues to transition into a seasonal respiratory product.

    Cost of Sales: Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2025 was $119 million, which included third-party royalties of $6 million, inventory write-downs of $38 million, and unutilized manufacturing capacity and wind-down costs of $52 million. Cost of sales was relatively flat compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net product sales, to 105% from 62% in the second quarter of 2024, was mainly driven by the impact of lower net product sales.

    Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $700 million, a 43% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. The reduction was primarily driven by lower clinical trial and manufacturing expenses, reflecting reduced production spending, program wind-downs, and the timing of trial activities across the Company’s respiratory vaccine portfolio.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $230 million, a 14% decrease compared to the same period in 2024. The decline was primarily driven by broad-based cost reductions across consulting and external services, personnel-related expenses, and commercial and marketing activities, reflecting the Company’s continued cost discipline and ongoing efforts to streamline operations.

    Income Taxes: Income tax provisions for both periods were not material, as the Company continues to maintain a global valuation allowance against most of its deferred tax assets.

    Net Loss: Net loss was $(0.8) billion for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $(1.3) billion for the second quarter of 2024.

    Loss Per Share: Loss per share was $(2.13) for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $(3.33) for the second quarter of 2024.

    Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of June 30, 2025, were $7.5 billion, compared to $8.4 billion as of March 31, 2025. The decrease during the quarter was primarily due to ongoing research and development expenses and other operating activities.

    2025 Financial Framework

    Revenue: The Company updated its 2025 projected revenue range to $1.5 to $2.2 billion, reflecting a $300 million reduction at the high end of the range. This is primarily driven by the timing shift of deliveries of contracted revenue for the U.K. into the first quarter of 2026. For the second half of the year, Moderna expects a revenue split of 40-50% in the third quarter with the balance in the fourth quarter of 2025.

    Cost of Sales: Cost of sales for 2025 is expected to be approximately $1.2 billion.

    Research and Development Expenses: Full-year 2025 research and development expenses are anticipated to be $3.6 to $3.8 billion, lowered from previous expectations of approximately $4.1 billion.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2025 are projected to be approximately $1.1 billion.

    Income Taxes: The Company continues to expect its full-year tax expense to be negligible.

    Capital Expenditures: Capital expenditures for 2025 are expected to be approximately $0.3 billion, lowered from previous expectations of approximately $0.4 billion.

    Cash and Investments: Year-end cash and investments for 2025 are projected to be approximately $6 billion.

    Recent Progress and Upcoming Late-Stage Pipeline Milestones

    Respiratory vaccines:

    • Seasonal flu vaccine: In June, Moderna announced positive Phase 3 efficacy results for its seasonal flu vaccine (mRNA-1010), which demonstrated superior relative vaccine efficacy that was 26.6% (95% CI; 16.7%, 35.4%) higher than a licensed standard-dose seasonal influenza vaccine in adults aged 50 years and older. The Company is submitting mRNA-1010 data for publication, presenting data at medical conferences and preparing to file for FDA approval.

    • Seasonal flu + COVID vaccine: Moderna shared positive Phase 3 immunogenicity data for its flu/COVID combination vaccine (mRNA-1083) for adults aged 50 years and older at its 2024 R&D Day event. In May 2025, the Company announced that in consultation with the FDA, it had voluntarily withdrawn the pending Biologics License Application (BLA) for mRNA-1083 with the plan to resubmit after vaccine efficacy data from the Phase 3 trial of its investigational seasonal flu vaccine (mRNA-1010) are available. The Company is engaging with regulators on data requirements for resubmitting the BLA for mRNA-1083.

    Latent and other vaccines:

    • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine: The Company shared 36-month durability data from a Phase 2 extension trial of its CMV vaccine candidate (mRNA-1647) at the ESCMID 2025 Global Congress. The pivotal Phase 3 study of mRNA-1647 is fully enrolled and has now accrued sufficient cases for evaluation of the primary endpoint of the study, evaluating its efficacy, safety and immunogenicity in the prevention of primary infection in women of childbearing age. Moderna is updating its analysis plan to incorporate additional secondary endpoints. The Company remains blinded and anticipates a Phase 3 final analysis in 2025.

    • Norovirus vaccine: The Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of Moderna’s trivalent vaccine against norovirus (mRNA-1403) is accruing cases. The timing of the Phase 3 readout will be dependent on case accruals.

    Oncology therapeutics:

    • Intismeran autogene: Moderna continues to make progress on advancing mRNA-4157 in the clinic. In collaboration with Merck, the Phase 3 clinical trial for adjuvant melanoma is fully enrolled. Two non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Phase 3 studies for those with and without prior neoadjuvant treatment are enrolling. Separate randomized Phase 2 studies for high-risk muscle invasive and high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer are also enrolling, and a randomized Phase 2 study for adjuvant renal cell carcinoma is fully enrolled. Further, Moderna and Merck have launched a new Phase 2 study of first-line treatment for patients with metastatic melanoma.

    • Checkpoint adaptive immune modulation therapy (AIM-T): The Phase 1/2 study of mRNA-4359 is ongoing and the Phase 2 study, which includes cohorts in first-line metastatic melanoma and first-line metastatic NSCLC, is enrolling NSCLC patients.

    • The Company recently announced that three abstracts on its investigational mRNA therapeutics have been accepted for presentation at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress.

    Rare disease therapeutics:

    • Propionic acidemia (PA) therapeutic: In an ongoing Phase 1/2 study designed to evaluate safety and pharmacology in trial participants with PA, Moderna’s investigational therapeutic (mRNA-3927) has been generally well-tolerated to date with no events meeting protocol-defined dose-limiting toxicity criteria. Early results suggest potential decreases in annualized metabolic decompensation event (MDE) frequency compared to pre-treatment, and the majority of patients have elected to continue on the open label extension study. The Company’s PA program is in a registrational study.

    • Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) therapeutic: Moderna’s investigational therapeutic for MMA (mRNA-3705) has been selected by the FDA for the Support for Clinical Trials Advancing Rare Disease Therapeutics (START) pilot program. The FDA and Moderna have agreed on the pivotal study design. The Company expects to start a registrational study in 2025.

    Moderna Corporate Updates

    • Moderna announced an organizational restructuring that will reduce its global workforce by approximately 10%. The Company anticipates a total headcount of under 5,000 by year-end.

  • UK Court of Appeal Confirms Moderna’s EP’949 Patent is Valid and Infringed by Pfizer/BioNTech

    UK Court of Appeal Confirms Moderna’s EP’949 Patent is Valid and Infringed by Pfizer/BioNTech

    CAMBRIDGE, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 1, 2025 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced that the UK Court of Appeal has upheld the validity of Moderna’s EP’949 patent.

    This decision affirms the High Court’s initial ruling from July 2024 that the EP’949 patent is valid and infringed by Pfizer/BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine, Comirnaty®, which was subsequently appealed by Pfizer/BioNTech. With this ruling, the UK becomes the first jurisdiction globally to issue a second-instance decision confirming the validity of one of Moderna’s core mRNA patents. The High Court’s finding of infringement was not disputed by Pfizer/BioNTech on appeal.

    “Moderna is pleased that the Court of Appeal has upheld the High Court’s finding that the EP’949 patent is valid and infringed by Pfizer/BioNTech,” said Moderna Chief Legal Officer Shannon Thyme Klinger. “Moderna will continue to pursue and enforce its patent rights globally to protect its innovative mRNA technology.”

    Elsewhere in Europe, recent legal developments have further strengthened Moderna’s intellectual property portfolio:

    • In Germany, the Regional Court found that Pfizer and BioNTech infringed Moderna’s modified mRNA patent and confirmed Moderna’s right to seek damages. An appeal is pending.

    • The European Patent Office (EPO) upheld the validity of EP’949 in opposition proceedings, further reinforcing the patent’s strength. An appeal is pending.

    European patent EP’949 relates to chemically modified mRNA, one of Moderna’s foundational technologies that enables the development of mRNA-based medicines.

  • Brusco Vision Highlights Built-In UV Protection Offered by Custom Lens Replacement for Long-Term Eye Health

    Brusco Vision Highlights Built-In UV Protection Offered by Custom Lens Replacement for Long-Term Eye Health

    Amid growing public awareness of sun damage to the skin, Brusco Vision is urging patients and the media to consider a less discussed—but equally important—concern: the effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the human eye. In a newly released article, “Protect Your Eyes from Harmful UV Rays with Custom Lens Replacement,” the Washington DC-based refractive surgery center details how its Custom Lens Replacement (CLR) procedure offers not only personalized vision correction but also lasting UV protection built directly into the lens implanted in the eye.

    The average person is exposed to UV rays every day—while walking outside, driving, exercising, or even during cloudy weather when harmful rays still reach the eye. Prolonged UV exposure has been linked to cataracts, macular degeneration, photokeratitis, and in some cases, certain types of ocular cancer. Despite public education around wearing sunglasses, many individuals still experience cumulative UV damage due to inconsistent use or poor-quality eyewear. Brusco Vision addresses this widespread issue by offering a proactive, permanent solution through advanced intraocular lenses used in CLR. These lenses are made with materials and coatings that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, providing a level of defense that sunglasses and traditional corrective lenses cannot consistently match.

    Custom Lens Replacement is a refractive procedure similar to cataract surgery, in which the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with a personalized intraocular lens (IOL). Unlike glasses or contact lenses that sit on the surface of the eye, CLR works from within, correcting vision conditions such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia while also shielding the retina and other internal structures from the harmful effects of UV light. Many patients opt for CLR when they want to eliminate dependence on glasses but are not ideal candidates for LASIK due to thin corneas, early cataracts, or complex prescriptions. According to Dr. Michael Brusco, a board-certified refractive surgeon and founder of Brusco Vision, this procedure represents a significant advancement in both vision correction and preventive eye health.

    Another key advantage of Custom Lens Replacement is the reduction of glare and improvement in visual comfort. Patients who struggle with reflected sunlight from roads, glass surfaces, or water often experience significant relief after the procedure. The advanced lens technology used in CLR may include optional polarization, mirror coatings, or anti-reflective layers that manage how light is filtered into the eye. While high-quality sunglasses can provide temporary relief, the permanent benefit of a built-in solution helps patients enjoy greater comfort without constantly managing their environment or accessories. This becomes especially relevant for people who drive frequently or work in bright conditions where visual clarity and focus are essential for safety and performance.

    In addition to UV protection and reduced glare, Custom Lens Replacement offers the long-term benefit of visual clarity without the hassle of glasses or contact lenses. Many patients report sharper visual acuity across a range of distances, with the added benefit of not having to switch between different types of eyewear. The ability to combine vision correction and UV defense in a single procedure is appealing to patients looking to simplify their daily routines and protect their eye health in the long run. In the article, Brusco Vision underscores that patients can avoid the ongoing cost and inconvenience of multiple prescriptions, scratched lenses, or forgotten sunglasses, while investing in a solution that protects their eyes from future damage.

    Dr. Brusco emphasizes that every Custom Lens Replacement procedure at Brusco Vision is highly personalized to meet each patient’s vision goals, lifestyle, and unique ocular anatomy. Through advanced diagnostics and detailed consultations, the team selects the right intraocular lens to deliver both clarity and long-term protection. This approach is especially beneficial for patients with early-stage cataracts who want to address their vision proactively rather than waiting for the condition to progress. Because cataracts and macular degeneration are closely linked to UV exposure, CLR serves not only as a vision correction procedure but also as a preventive measure against future disease—making it a smart investment in long-term eye health.

    Brusco Vision is known for delivering exceptional refractive care with a commitment to precision and innovation. The practice remains focused on educating the public and medical community about the evolving role of Custom Lens Replacement in comprehensive eye health. As awareness grows about the cumulative effects of UV damage to the eyes, the practice is encouraging more patients to consider whether this permanent solution could offer them better protection than external lenses or lifestyle adjustments alone. Dr. Brusco and his team continue to advocate for early intervention and believe that better education around UV risks will lead to more informed decisions and healthier long-term outcomes for patients.

    Reporters interested in covering this topic or seeking expert commentary from Dr. Brusco are encouraged to reach out for interviews or background information. As one of the leading voices in refractive surgery and patient-centered care, Dr. Brusco offers insight into both the clinical science and practical applications of CLR, especially as it relates to preventive eye health. His perspective is especially timely as eye care professionals continue to see rising interest in procedures that do more than correct vision—they also aim to prevent future disease.

  • Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong Highlights the Lasting Significance and Modern Design of Wedding Rings

    Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong Highlights the Lasting Significance and Modern Design of Wedding Rings

    Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong has reaffirmed its dedication to offering high-quality 結婚戒指 (wedding rings) that reflect both time-honored craftsmanship and contemporary preferences. With continued attention to evolving consumer expectations, the company offers a wide selection of rings that combine precision, symbolism, and long-term wearability for couples preparing for marriage.

    Wedding rings, long seen as enduring representations of commitment, continue to hold central cultural and personal meaning. As couples seek items that reflect their shared values and unique identities, the role of the wedding ring has evolved to encompass not only traditional significance but also design customization, ethical sourcing, and material innovation. In Hong Kong and globally, consumers are making purchasing decisions based on a combination of emotional connection, lifestyle compatibility, and responsible production.

    The circular shape of a wedding ring, symbolizing infinity and unity, remains a universal icon of partnership. While that symbolism has remained constant, the stylistic and material choices now available to couples have expanded significantly. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong has responded by curating collections that accommodate a wide range of aesthetic preferences—from minimalist bands to more ornate styles—while maintaining a consistent commitment to quality.

    Recent years have seen increased interest in personalization and meaning-driven design. Couples often seek wedding rings that incorporate individual elements into the design, such as engravings, signature stone placements, or metal combinations that reflect shared heritage or personal milestones. This trend toward customization is indicative of a broader movement in consumer behavior favoring objects that carry distinct, story-rich meaning. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong offers options that support this trend by allowing clients to select styles that are both classic and personally resonant.

    Material choice remains a primary consideration in the selection of wedding rings. For long-term wear, metals must offer durability, hypoallergenic properties, and aesthetic longevity. Platinum continues to be a preferred option for its strength, resistance to tarnishing, and understated luster. Gold, in its various forms—yellow, white, and rose—also maintains popularity due to its warmth, symbolic richness, and adaptability to different skin tones and personal styles.

    Another consideration that has become more prominent among buyers is the origin and sourcing of materials used in jewelry. Ethical practices in diamond procurement and metal sourcing are now often part of the decision-making process for clients who wish to ensure their purchase aligns with responsible environmental and labor practices. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong acknowledges this shift and underscores the importance of transparency in the fine jewelry industry, including commitments to traceable sourcing and adherence to industry-recognized standards.

    The appeal of wedding rings also lies in their ability to visually reflect the nature of a couple’s bond. In Hong Kong, a cosmopolitan environment that blends East and West, design preferences are equally varied. Some clients prefer sleek, modern interpretations of the wedding band, while others gravitate toward rings that incorporate traditional motifs or subtle references to heritage. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong has noted increasing interest in paired designs—sets where the bride’s and groom’s rings are harmonized in theme or detailing—reflecting a shared design language between partners.

    Craftsmanship continues to be a fundamental differentiator in wedding ring selection. Precision in stone setting, balanced proportions, and comfort-focused design are critical for rings intended to be worn daily. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong emphasizes that quality craftsmanship not only enhances the appearance of a ring but also ensures structural integrity over time. Comfort-fit designs and subtle adjustments to band curvature allow for extended wear without discomfort, which is a growing consideration for consumers who prioritize both form and function.

    Technology also plays an increasing role in how wedding rings are designed, selected, and manufactured. Digital modeling and 3D prototyping enable greater accuracy and personalization, while allowing clients to visualize designs before production. These tools also aid in quality control and consistency, particularly for custom pieces. By integrating digital and traditional techniques, jewelers are able to meet the rising expectations of today’s buyers for both innovation and heritage.

    The selection process itself is often seen as a milestone by engaged couples. Choosing rings together has become a meaningful experience—an early shared decision in the process of building a life together. This experience is often enriched by the opportunity to learn about gemstones, craftsmanship, and the cultural histories surrounding wedding jewelry. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong prioritizes a guided selection process that focuses on education, detail, and personal service, helping couples arrive at choices that reflect their relationship and future goals.

    Broader consumer trends suggest that interest in classic pieces with subtle modern twists is continuing to rise. Couples frequently seek rings that will remain relevant for decades but still reflect current design sensibilities. Timeless silhouettes accented by unique settings, mixed metals, or hidden design features allow for individuality without departing from tradition. Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong has incorporated such trends into its collections while maintaining a strong foundation in traditional Japanese and international jewelry aesthetics.

    As wedding culture itself continues to evolve, particularly in urban centers like Hong Kong, so too does the role of the wedding ring. In an increasingly digital and fast-paced world, the enduring presence of a physical object that represents continuity and commitment carries increasing emotional weight. Whether viewed as a minimalist emblem of a shared vow or a carefully crafted design imbued with personal history, the wedding ring remains a defining artifact of partnership.

    Vino Symbol Reinstated: Gaucho Holdings Marks New Chapter Post-Reorganization

    Company resumes trading under “VINO” amid Argentina’s economic stabilization and U.S. partnership momentum

    MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / July 31, 2025 / Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (OTC:VINO), a company that includes a growing collection of e-commerce platforms with a concentration on fine wines, luxury real estate, and leather goods and accessories (the “Company” or “Gaucho Holdings”), announced today that the “Q” designation has been officially removed from its trading symbol. Effective immediately, the Company’s shares will resume trading under the symbol VINO on the OTC Markets.

    The “Q” suffix was initially added to the VINO trading symbol in November 2024 following Gaucho Holdings’ voluntary Chapter 11 filing. On June 16, 2025, the Company successfully emerged from Chapter 11 under court approval. In the weeks since, Gaucho Holdings has undertaken and completed the necessary steps to reinstate its trading symbol to VINO.

    In parallel with this development, the Company has engaged an independent public accounting firm, CBIZ, Inc., to audit its financial statements. This includes the preparation and filing of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as well as its 10-Q filings for 2025. Gaucho Holdings is working to regain full reporting compliance within approximately 90 days, which is expected to facilitate broader investor engagement and enhance trading opportunities on the OTC marketplace.

    This milestone occurs as Argentina experiences significant macroeconomic changes under the administration of President Javier Milei. Over the past 18 months, inflation has declined by more than 95%, with additional improvement anticipated into 2026. Gaucho Holdings continues to monitor these economic developments, which coincide with increased U.S.-Argentina economic cooperation and interest in key sectors where the Company is active, including wine, tourism, and luxury goods.

    “The removal of the ‘Q’ symbol is an important achievement for Gaucho Holdings and a clear signal that we have emerged from the Chapter 11 reorganization,” said Scott Mathis, CEO and Founder of Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. “We remain focused on rebuilding stockholder confidence through operational transparency and financial integrity. At the same time, we are operating in a moment of significant change and optimism in Argentina, where our businesses are rooted. We look forward to continuing to align our strategy with the country’s evolving economic landscape.”
