SAN DIEGO, May 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Telesis Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: TBIO), a leader in molecular biology automation solutions for multi-omic and synthetic biology applications, today announced it has signed a securities purchase agreement with a syndicate of healthcare-focused institutional investors that have agreed to provide initial upfront funding of $28.0 million in gross proceeds to Telesis Bio through a private placement of redeemable convertible preferred stock.

The financing is led by Novalis LifeSciences LLC with participation from Northpond Ventures, BroadOak Capital Partners and M-185 Corporation, an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Founder, Todd R. Nelson, PhD.

Under the terms of the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, immediately following the closing of the financing, Paul Meister, a partner at Novalis LifeSciences LLC, will be appointed to the Company’s board of directors, increasing the size of its board of directors from seven to eight.

“While we believe strongly in our ability to grow our BioXp installed base and are confident that we can achieve our long-term revenue and profitability goals, we are adjusting expectations for the company’s financial performance for the remainder of 2023, as we continue to see challenging headwinds that may impact our revenue results,” Nelson shared. “We now anticipate full year revenue for the company to be approximately $35 million and operating expenses, including non-cash and one-time charges to be approximately $55 million.

BASELABS Dynamic Grid

The Dynamic Grid is one of the available BASELABS technologies. It enables safe environment perception and is a fundamental component of safe software architectures for highly automated driving.

CHEMNITZ, Germany, May 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BASELABS, the specialist for sensor fusion, is now offering the acquisition of its complete software IP in the field of environment perception for automated driving in ASIL D. In contrast to the previous licensing model, buyers of the IP will be able to use the software without restrictions.

The acquisition of the technologies can be exclusive or partially exclusive. Interested companies can register for the sales process directly with BASELABS at ip@baselabs.de.

The BASELABS portfolio includes BASELABS Dynamic Grid, the latest low-level sensor fusion technology ready for series production, which is particularly suitable for high-resolution sensors and complex driving environments. Furthermore, BASELABS Create Embedded, a library optimized over many years for embedded use, can be acquired mainly for NCAP functions. Both products include a complete development and validation infrastructure and all process artifacts required for use in series production.

“The outstanding customer feedback on our technologies over many years motivated us now to offer the model of ownership of our software IP requested by many market participants. Buyers of our software will receive safety-certified technologies for the vehicles of tomorrow and thus increase the safety of automated traffic worldwide,” says Robin Schubert, Managing Director of BASELABS.

UPDATE – Berliner Tageszeitung: Criminal complaint in Berlin, Germany, against Elon Musk and Twitter for possible fraud to the detriment of users

Berliner Tageszeitung: Criminal complaint in Berlin, Germany, against Elon Musk and Twitter for possible fraud to the detriment of users

Berliner Tageszeitung: Criminal complaint in Berlin, Germany, against Elon Musk and Twitter for possible fraud to the detriment of users

BERLIN, May 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BERLINER TAGESZEITUNG reports today that a criminal complaint has been filed against Elon Musk with the Berlin public prosecutor’s office, file number: 253 UJs 1012/23, alleging that Musk charged Twitter users’ credit cards but suspended verified Twitter accounts without giving any reason.

Source: https://www.BerlinerTageszeitung.de/wirtschaft/269895-criminal-complaint-in-berlin-germany-against-elon-musk-and-twitter-for-possible-fraud-to-the-detriment-of-twitter-users.html

“Blocking user accounts is a daily occurrence at Twitter, but the fact that they then continuously charge money to users’ credit cards makes the matter explosive and is currently occupying the Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office (Federal Republic of Germany). In any case, the question arises as to how much power a medium like Twitter can be granted at all and when the regulatory authorities should intervene to protect Twitter users.”

Incidentally, this is not the first time Elon Musk has been investigated, as there is also currently an investor lawsuit against Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The lawsuit is about Musk’s tweets in August 2018 with the premature announcement that he wanted to take the electric car company off the stock market and had secured the financing to do so. It later emerged that there were no firm commitments from investors.

“Elon Musk lied,” said a lawyer for the plaintiffs.

US Judge Edward Chen (Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California) had already found in the 2022 trial that Musk’s statements in the tweets had not been true.

“We will continue to monitor the case closely and report further developments as new information becomes available. It remains to be seen how the criminal charges against Elon Musk and Twitter will develop and what the consequences might be.”

From a factual point of view, it should be noted that according to Article 48 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the presumption of innocence applies to defendants and accused persons, which must also apply in the case of the criminal charges against Elon Musk for “suspected fraud to the detriment of Twitter users”.
