SANDY SPRINGS, GEORGIA NATIVE WITH 150 KICKS FEATURED IN HIBBETT SMALL-TOWN SNEAKERHEAD CELEBRATING NIKE AIR FORCE 1’S

Hibbett, Inc.

Hibbett, Inc. (NASDAQ:HIBB), an athletic-inspired fashion retailer with more than 1,100 Hibbett and City Gear specialty stores nationwide, today announced the release of the latest episode of the exclusive Small-Town Sneakerhead (STSH) series celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Nike Air Force 1. The series features Sandy Springs, Georgia native, Derek Wilson, @aymrwilson, a graduate of Clark Atlanta University and a Sales Training Supervisor with UPS. Viewers can catch the new episode today at www.Hibbett.com/small-town-sneakerhead. First stop is Wilson’s house, where viewers get to see his impressive 150 pair and growing sneaker collection that he started at age 15. “Being a sneakerhead means being someone who collects kicks for the love of the shoe and the journey that comes attached to acquiring them. Nike Air Force 1 was the second shoe I ever purchased for myself and it holds a special place. Ever since then I have always had Forces on my radar and when I see a cool pair, I cop.” Wilson says his hometown of Sandy Springs is best known for really good food, great parks and lots of trees. “My favorite things about Sandy Springs are the food, that it’s away from the city but still close enough, that it doesn’t have a small town feel and its close to my job,” said Wilson. During the episode, he takes the film crew around to many of his favorite hometown haunts including the City Springs Ampitheater and Sandy Springs Softball and Football Fields. Wilson, a huge sports fan and avid photographer can usually be found at the fields when he is not working or buying new kicks. “My favorite Forces in my collection are the Olive Special Forces AF1, which is really a tribute to our troops. The Valentines Day AF1 snaps open and it says true love since ’82 and we’re in the 40 th year of the AF1, it just kinda reminds you of a letter you would give your valentine. What I want people to know is that people like me still exist that really care about the product and that’s what’s helped shoes like Air Force 1’s last for 40 years.” “For nearly three years we have celebrated those that love sneakers and have shared these incredible stories of small town collectors, learned about a mosaic of culturally-rich communities and opened eyes to the growing sneaker community in every corner of this country,” said Sarah Sharp-Wangaard, VP Marketing, Hibbett. “We never have a shortage of unique stories to share and we are grateful to our partners at Nike for helping us bring this project to life. We are proud to use these stories to help commemorate the 40 th Anniversary of the legendary Nike Air Force 1.” “You don't have to live in Uptown to be a fan of Uptowns,” said Matt Halfhill, Founder and CEO, Nice Kicks. “This episode of Small Town Sneakerhead is a special one celebrating one of the most iconic sneakers ever made, the Nike Air Force 1, and despite its origin story on the courts and in the streets of big East Coast cities, the shoe has been a staple for generations across the land in towns large and small."

Ready for Ron Sues Federal Election Commission

Ready for Ron

Ready for Ron (RFR), the only credible organization working to draft Governor Ron DeSantis to run for President, filed a lawsuit against the Federal Election Commission (FEC). The action, brought in the U.S. District Court for D.C., follows the FEC issuing an Advisory Opinion to prevent Ready for Ron from sharing with Governor DeSantis the names of those who signed a petition encouraging him to challenge Joe Biden. The lawsuit states in part, “…RFR wishes to provide its signed petition, including names and contact information provided by its signatories, to Governor DeSantis—a traditional form of political expression and association. The Commission has issued an advisory opinion concluding the Federal Election Campaign Act (“FECA”) prohibits RFR from doing so…” Prominent Republican campaign finance attorney Dan Backer recently argued before the FEC and submitted three detailed Public Comments to the FEC supporting Ready for Ron’s request, to share the list of supporters with DeSantis both before and during a potential candidacy – as an act of Constitutionally protected political speech. The arguments cited binding D.C. Circuit Court precedent, legislative history, and the FEC’s own administrative precedents. “The FEC would stop Ready For Ron from sharing a petition – the quintessential form of free speech – unless we also charged for it,” argued Backer. “Act Blue does the same thing we propose – sharing support names and contact information on a vastly larger scale – tens of millions of individuals – while funneling a billion and a half dollars a cycle”. “The FEC is fine with Act Blue doing this to support Biden, as long as money is involved, but when the speech is free or bad for Biden, suddenly it must be suppressed,” Backer continued. The lawsuit further states, “…RFR’s fundamental First Amendment rights to engage in political speech and expressive political association have been violated by the FEC’s response to RFR’s advisory opinion request and the reasonable prospect of prosecution if RFR provides its signed petition to Governor DeSantis…” “We are disappointed some on the FEC are again standing in the way of political speech and freedom of association. Millions of Americans want Ron DeSantis to run. Signing their names to Ready for Ron’s draft petition is the ultimate act of political free speech and association, and there is simply no basis for saying they cannot give those names to the Governor if – and when – he heeds their call and runs. It is disappointing that this litigation is necessary, but we are eager to protect our Free Speech and encourage DeSantis to seek the Presidency. We are confident we will prevail,” Backer continued. “We have before in taking on the FEC, and surely will again.” Since its launch in late May, Ready for Ron has garnered nearly 100,000 petition signers, generated significant media attention, and run hundreds of ads to help convince Ron DeSantis to run for President. Ready for Ron has emerged as the only credible independent organization in support of Ron DeSantis. Americans are encouraged to sign the petition at http://www.ReadyForRon.com to draft Ron DeSantis to run in 2024. ### The lawsuit and exhibits may be found at https://www.readyforron.com/lawsuit/ For more information or to schedule an interview with ‘Ready for Ron’ legal counsel Dan Backer or Lilian Rodríguez-Baz, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@readyforron.com.

Keeping Cognitive Health Top of Mind

YourUpdateTV

Cognitive health is an essential component of our overall well-being as we age.1 Recently, Dr. Jeffery Blumberg participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss new study results released on the large-scale, clinical trial COSMOS-Mind, which suggests that those who took Centrum Silver demonstrated improvement in cognitive function in comparison to the placebo. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: Finding a way to support cognitive function in older adults is an important public health issue, as roughly two out of every three Americans experience some level of cognitive impairment around the age of 70.2 Centrum, a leader in multivitamins for nearly 50 years, has a long history of supporting research to advance the science on benefits of vitamin/mineral supplementation. It is the most clinically studied multivitamin brand in the world. In continuing with this strong heritage, Centrum Silver product, placebo, and packaging was provided in support of the Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS) trial. Centrum Silver was specifically selected for the COSMOS-Mind trial which investigated the effects of multivitamin and cocoa flavonoid consumption on cognitive functioning in 2,262 women and men, 65 years and older, over the course of three years. The COSMOS-Mind team tested each participant’s cognitive function via baseline and annual cognitive assessments.3 The results of the COSMO-Mind Study show that an intervention as simple as taking Centrum Silver could help support cognitive function, memory, and executive function in older adults.4* Participants who took Centrum Silver showed significant improvement in their episodic memory – the memory that is tied to specific events or experiences, as well as their executive function as compared to placebo.5 A detailed report on the COSMOS-Mind Study published in Alzheimer & Dementia Journal can be found here.

Could MySize’s Brand New Apparel Sizing Tech Be Ideally Timed, With A Boom In Fashion E-Commerce?

MySize, Inc.

While there may seem to be some indications that e-commerce growth is slowing amid the current inflation wave, however, equally strong signals suggest it may not be enough to stop U.S. retail e-commerce sales from surpassing a projected growth target of $1 trillion in 2022. Even amid the economic downturn, one sector — fashion and apparel — could fuel the e-commerce industry’s growth. A trend report by BigCommerce Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BIGC) revealed that the fashion and apparel sector has been an e-commerce powerhouse this year, outpacing overall e-commerce sales in North America. BigCommerce is not the only platform projecting growth for the industry. Statista also indicates that the e-commerce fashion industry’s compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to reach 14.2% between 2017 and 2025, with the industry hitting a $672.71 billion valuation by 2023. Sales of apparel, footwear and accessories catapulted in 2021, hitting $180.5 billion in the U.S. alone. The sector is expected to grow by 13% this year, with consumers set to spend $204.9 billion on fashion items online. Eliminating A Challenge For Growth Even though there seem to be great prospects for the industry, growth can be hampered if people still face frustrations in buying online — imagine receiving items, like garments, that don’t fit? Receiving an ill-fitting garment can be frustrating and can leave the customer unsatisfied. Correct sizing is key to growth, building consumer confidence in the purchase and reducing costly returns. MySize Inc. (NASDAQ: MYSZ) says its MySizeID product is the solution. But the company, an omnichannel e-commerce platform and provider of an artificial intelligence (AI) measurement solution that drives revenue growth and reduces costs for its clients, also reports pioneering a different technology that could change the hybrid shopping experience. MySize’s FirstLook Smart Mirror could be one of the first solutions for challenges with hybrid shopping — an emerging trend that combines online and in-store shopping. The company says the product is an interactive, mirrorlike touch display that offers: Personalized fit and product recommendations 3D try-it-on interactive avatar experience Speed shopping and self-checkout Integration with any third-party point-of-sales (POS) system High Valuations And Revenues MySize believes its algorithm-based technology has broad applications — that could match if not beat product offerings from competitors. Just as LivePerson Inc. (NASDAQ: LPSN) hit a $4 billion valuation at 10 times revenue with a chat application that transformed e-commerce by increasing conversion rates and decreasing costs, sizing technology is gaining traction to do the same, the company says. As comparable companies are acquired by major players such as Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP), Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS), Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) and Zalando SE (ETR: ZAL) at attractive valuations, MySize notes it could also attract the same level of attention and be an acquisition target. Luckily, a recent report of record revenues in the first half of the year could support the premise that MySize has the right product and business in a high-growth segment. Retailers Taking Notice MySize’s technology has been adopted by top brands in fashion such as Levi Strauss & Co. (NYSE: LEVI), Nautica, Gant and Dockers, and it doesn’t look like the company is resting on its laurels. From all indications, MySize may only be getting started as more companies are adopting its technology, which could be ideally timed with growth in the fashion e-commerce boom. The company recently announced an agreement with 7 For All Mankind (Brazil), a premium global clothing brand, to license MySizeID, and it could be going live in the third quarter of this year. MySize also has an agreement with luxury British fashion brand Temperley London to license MySizeID. MiSize kicked off the year by acquiring Orgad, an omnichannel e-commerce platform. MySize hopes the acquisition and incorporation of MySizeID into Orgad’s e-commerce solution will increase its profit by reducing costly returns. MySize, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYSZ) (TASE: MYSZ.TA) is an omnichannel e-commerce platform and provider of AI-driven measurement solutions to drive revenue growth and reduce costs for its business clients. Orgad, its online retailer platform, has expertise in e-commerce, supply chain, and technology operating as a third-party seller on Amazon.com and other sites. MySize recently launched FirstLook Smart Mirror, a mirror-like touch display that provides in-store customers an enhanced shopping experience and contactless checkout. FirstLook Smart Mirror extends MySize's reach into physical stores and is expected to contribute to revenues through unit sales and recurring service fees.MySize has developed a unique measurement technology based on sophisticated algorithms and cutting-edge technology with broad applications, including the apparel, e-commerce, DIY, shipping, and parcel delivery industries. This proprietary measurement technology is driven by several algorithms that are able to calculate and record measurements in a variety of novel ways.

Are You Getting Enough Physical Activity?

YourUpdateTV

Despite a wealth of research showing how even moderate amounts of physical activity can lead to better health and longer life, millions of Americans don’t get enough of it. Recently, Carrie Pagliano, PT, DPT, participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to discuss the importance of staying active and how physical therapy can help. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/RlbXcIoVJ74 Earlier this year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released results of a study showing that more than 1 in 5 adults in the United States are inactive. Given that lack of physical activity is associated with pain and stiffness and higher rates of chronic conditions — such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and some cancers — it’s critical that people embrace movement and seek out physical activity. A great first step is working with a health care provider, like a physical therapist, to discuss your physical activity options. APTA advocates in support of programs that increase physical activity, exercise among all individuals, and encourages active transportation. Physical therapists are uniquely qualified to help people get and stay moving. They are movement experts who improve quality of life through hands-on care, patient education, and prescribed movement. Physical therapists work in various settings with all patient populations from birth to older adults; they identify, diagnose, and treat movement problems in people of all ages and abilities. Visit ChoosePT.com for more information and to find a physical therapist in your area.

She received her master’s degree in physical therapy from the University of the Sciences and doctor of physical therapy from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences.

Can This Company’s Birth Control Patch Disrupt The Contraceptive Market?

Agile Therapeutics, Inc.

From Evofem Biosciences Inc. ’s (OTCMKTS: EVFM) Phexxi vaginal gel contraceptive to Dare Bioscience Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: DARE) Ovaprene, an investigational hormone-free monthly intravaginal contraceptive, the market is never in short supply of birth control products. While the issue of birth control and abortion can be embroiled in continuous debates and controversies, contraceptives have been known to reduce the rate of unintended pregnancies, the need for unsafe abortions, and HIV transmissions from mothers to newborns. The need is strong - a 2020 report by the World Health Organization (WHO) said that among 1.9 billion reproductive-age women (15 to 49 years) globally in 2019, around 1.1 billion women require family planning and 270 million of those have an unmet need for contraception. Disruptive Contraceptive Patch? The rising number of women with unmet contraceptive drugs and device needs could present unique opportunities for industry players. Agile Therapeutics Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: AGRX) Twirla® (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol) transdermal system could be one innovative product with the potential to disrupt the industry. New Jersey-based Agile Therapeutics is a forward-thinking women’s healthcare company dedicated to fulfilling the unmet needs of today’s women. The company’s product and product candidates are designed to offer women more freedom and flexibility through additional contraceptive options. Agile Therapeutics Chairman and CEO Al Altomari, speaking at the H.C. Wainwright 24th Annual Global Investment Conference in September, revealed that the company is currently focused on the growth of its first Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved product Twirla®. Twirla®, the company reports, is the first and only birth control patch delivering a low dose of estrogen. Twirla delivers 30 micrograms (mcg) of estrogen daily, the lowest exposure of estrogen in a transdermal contraceptive option. Unlike most oral contraceptives on the market that women take at least 21 days each month, Twirla® uses just three patches a month. Agile Therapeutics plans to commercialize and upscale Twirla through its business plan — non-retail channel growth driver ( Afaxys GPO ) and retail channel growth drivers (telemedicine providers like Nurx & Twirla’s DTC CTV commercial ). With the growth of Twirla® being the main focus, the company believes that building a U.S. women’s health franchise on the foundation of the patch’s commercial success can enhance value for shareholders. “We have sought out and will continue to explore partnerships and opportunities that leverage our existing infrastructure, including co-promotion and business development opportunities,” Altomari said. Cash On Hand And The Way Forward Agile Therapeutics raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million through its at-the-market (ATM) offering in the second quarter of 2022 and $22.2 million in an upsized public offering in July 2022. The company reduced the outstanding principal amount owed to Perceptive Advisors to $3 million with proceeds from ATM. Agile Therapeutics established a new $75 million ATM in August 2022. From the end of the fourth quarter to the end of the second quarter of 2022, the company reduced its quarterly operating expenses (OPEX) from $18.2 million to $11.3 million while still growing Twirla demand by 27%. The company now believes it has sufficient cash on hand to fund operations through the end of 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, Agile Therapeutics realized net product sales revenue of $2.1 million, an increase of 75% compared to the second quarter of 2021 revenue of $1.2 million. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $11.3 million. Non-retail sales primarily associated with the Afaxys partnership are expected to significantly accelerate in the second half of 2022. Non-retail channels experience higher gross-to-net discounting compared to retail channels and therefore the company expects overall gross-to-net discounts to increase as a percentage of gross revenue. Agile Therapeutics intends to use its resources to continue to grow Twirla® and to improve on its performance as it prepares to report third-quarter 2022 financial results and Twirla® growth update in November. One of the Company’s financial goals is to become cash flow positive. “Our focus in 2022 has been on growing Twirla and advancing towards generating positive cash flow,” said Agile Therapeutics Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Al Altomari. “In 2022, we have significantly reduced our operating expenses by redesigning how we work to gain efficiencies and implemented a plan we believe can drive Twirla growth through our Afaxys partnership, connected TV (CTV) campaign, and growing the telemedicine channel. ” Agile Therapeutics is a women's healthcare company dedicated to fulfilling the unmet health needs of today’s women. Our product and product candidates are designed to provide women with contraceptive options that offer freedom from taking a daily pill, without committing to a longer-acting method. Our initial product, Twirla®, (levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol), a transdermal system, is a non-daily prescription contraceptive. Twirla is based on our proprietary transdermal patch technology, called Skinfusion®, which is designed to allow drug delivery through the skin. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

The gel nail strips feature characters like Kitten Bubbles™ and Spotty & Dotty™ for fans to immerse themselves in Lisa Frank’s colorful and vibrant world. Each topper and gel nail strip retails for $11.99 at Ulta Beauty Stores, Ulta.com, and ORLYBeauty.com. After seeing the demand of last year’s collection where products sold out repeatedly, it was clear that fans wanted more. Specifically, they want more toppers that allow for bright, easy-to-DIY nail art. By incorporating creative direction from the Lisa Frank team and feedback from ORLY fans, ORLY sought to create more innovative, more fun toppers and nail strips than before. The new nail strips feature a gel-like finish with long-lasting wear, easy application and removal, without the need of an LED/UV lamp or special tools. Meanwhile, the toppers go beyond basic glitter—they feature bright, vibrant heart and star-shaped confetti die cuts suspended in clear lacquer. “In teaming up with Lisa Frank for a second collection that hits just in time for the holidays, all of us challenged ourselves to outdo ourselves in product development, design, and quality,” said Tal Pink, Vice President of Business Development at ORLY. “We’re thrilled to offer fans new nail products to fully explore their creativity and imagination, inspired by Lisa Frank.” “Lisa Frank nail art continues to take over our world,” says Forrest Green, Head of Brand at Lisa Frank, Inc. “We’re excited to introduce our second collection with ORLY, packed with fun glittery toppers and iconic character nail wraps. Our strong expressive community fully embraces the bold Lisa Frank lifestyle and chooses to stand out and sparkle every day.” The full collection launches at the end of October at Ulta Beauty stores nationwide, Ulta.com, and ORLYBeauty.com. About ORLY: It all starts with innovation. From the conception of the iconic Original French Manicure® to revolutionary, patented Gripper Cap, ORLY® has been solidified as the global nail leader trusted by nail professionals and salons around the world, thanks to cutting-edge formulations, pigment-rich color collections, and award-winning nail treatments. Through the extensive range of formulas, trend-forward effects, dynamic finishes, and an inclusive shade range ORLY aims to spark creativity and empower both professionals and novices alike to channel their inner artist.
