Amcor Announces Effective Date for Reverse Stock Split

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Split-adjusted shares expected to begin trading on January 15, 2026

Second quarter fiscal 2026 per share metrics to be reported on a split-adjusted basis

ZURICH, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amcor plc (NYSE: AMCR; ASX: AMC), a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, announced today it will proceed with the 1-for-5 reverse stock split previously approved by Amcor shareholders at its annual general meeting of shareholders held on November 6, 2025. Amcor expects to file an amendment to its memorandum of association to effect the reverse stock split after the close of trading on January 14, 2026, and Amcor ordinary shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on January 15, 2026. Amcor’s CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) will also be consolidated on a 1-for-5 basis such that one CDI continues to represent an interest in one Amcor ordinary share following the reverse stock split.

Amcor intends to present its fiscal 2026 second quarter and second quarter year to date per share metrics, including earnings per share, on a split-adjusted basis when reported in early February 2026.

When the reverse stock split is effective, every five ordinary shares of Amcor issued and outstanding or held as treasury shares as of the effective date will be automatically combined into one Amcor ordinary share. This will reduce the number of outstanding ordinary shares from approximately 2.3 billion to approximately 461 million. Concurrently with the reverse stock split, Amcor’s amended memorandum of association will also proportionately reduce the number of Amcor’s ordinary shares authorized for issuance and increase the par value of Amcor’s ordinary shares to $0.05 per share.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Shareholders of record otherwise entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares. Unvested Amcor equity-based awards as issued under Amcor incentive plans will be proportionately adjusted.

Amcor ordinary shares will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange (under the symbol “AMCR”), but will trade under a new CUSIP number. CDIs will continue to trade on the Australian Stock Exchange (under the symbol “AMC”).

Additional information concerning the reverse stock split can be found in Amcor’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 2025, as well as on Amcor’s Investor Relations website, https://www.amcor.com/investors.

New Holland’s Biomethane Tractor Wins ECO Award for Innovation and Sustainability

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

After winning the 2025 ESG Award in the “Technological Innovation in ESG” category, CNH brand, New Holland’s T6.180 Methane Power tractor – the world’s first agricultural tractor powered by biomethane gas – also recently won the traditional ECO Innovation and Sustainability Award, in São Paulo, Brazil.

From 2006, when it launched the alternative fuels leadership strategy, New Holland developed tractors powered primarily by biodiesel, as well as hydrogen, until the launch in 2013 of the first methane-powered T6 series tractor prototype, emphasizing the brand’s commitment to meeting its environmental goals and contributing to CO2 reduction.

Environmental advantages

Launched as a commercial product in 2022, the T6.180 Methane Power is available to Brazilian producers. Biomethane propulsion technology offers numerous environmental advantages, including up to 80% reduction in regulated pollutant emissions and 84% in CO2 compared to a standard diesel engine. By using biomethane, a cost reduction of between 25% and 40% can be achieved when compared to conventional fuels. And the tractor has the same performance and autonomy as a diesel tractor of the same size.

In 2023, the brand also presented the concept of the energy-independent farm, in partnership with the main companies in the biomethane sector to create an innovative ecosystem for the production of gas generated from the decomposition of animal waste. Composed of a biodigester, biogas purification system, generator, tractors and heavy trucks, this ecosystem is a pioneer in Brazil and revolutionizes the country’s biogas market.

This type of solution gives the producer the possibility of using the biogas generated within the property (from animal waste, for example) to supply the equipment, taking advantage of the so-called virtuous cycle of the farm, which becomes increasingly self-sufficient from an energy and environmentally correct point of view. In addition, there is a reduction in operating costs and greater peace of mind in the management of activities, as it becomes self-sufficient in fuel production and use, being free from all the uncertainties of the fossil fuel market.

LISC Upstate South Carolina & AIM Launch State’s First Financial Opportunity Center® Program, Funded in Part by a $1.5 Million Wells Fargo Foundation Grant

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

December 11, 2025 /3BL/ – LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corporation) Upstate South Carolina and AIM (Accept. Inspire. Minister) celebrated the grand opening of South Carolina’s first Financial Opportunity Center® (FOC) program—a powerful, evidence-based model proven to help individuals and families achieve lasting financial success. This program expansion was made possible in part by a new national $1.5 million Wells Fargo Foundation grant to LISC.

Located at AIM, 1202 S. Murray Avenue, the center will connect residents with bundled employment services, one-on-one financial coaching, and income support navigation so they can achieve greater financial resiliency and mobility. The launch event included remarks from local leaders, representatives from Wells Fargo leadership, a ribbon-cutting, and tours of the space where FOC services will be delivered.

LISC operates a growing network of more than 120 FOC partner organizations nationwide, each rooted in trusted, community-based partner organizations like AIM. These centers serve individuals and families living on low to moderate incomes by helping them build effective money habits, strengthen their financial bottom line, and pursue long-term career and financial goals.

“As LISC brings the Financial Opportunity Center® model to South Carolina for the first time, we are proud to demonstrate what national expertise paired with local partnership can achieve,” said Dawn Deck, LISC Upstate SC Executive Director. “LISC has spent decades refining this integrated coaching approach because we know it works—families increase income, build credit, gain financial stability, and achieve their goals. Partnering with AIM allows us to anchor this proven model in a trusted community organization so that Upstate South Carolina residents can access the tools and supports they need to thrive.”

What sets the FOC model apart is its bundled service approach. Rather than offering these services separately, FOC staff integrate each service through a long-term coaching relationship. National studies show that clients who receive bundled services experience stronger job placement outcomes, better job retention, higher net income, and measurable improvements in financial health.

FOC services include:

  • Employment and career counseling
  • One-on-one financial coaching and education
  • Low-cost financial products that safely build credit, savings, and assets
  • Connections to income supports, such as SNAP, utility assistance, and affordable health insurance

“We at AIM are honored to be the first Financial Opportunity Center in the state of South Carolina. We are very excited about this partnership and the opportunity to take our current work to the next level by incorporating this financial wellness piece into all of our programs at AIM,” said Kristi King-Brock, CEO of AIM.

AIM’s FOC program is supported in part by Wells Fargo, which was recently awarded a $1.5 million national grant to support LISC bringing FOC services to communities across the country. This commitment strengthens efforts to build financial security and advance wealth creation for local families and residents who are working hard to build brighter futures.

“Through our philanthropic investments, we are committed to creating pathways to economic mobility and wealth-building for communities across the country,” said Pam Bryant, vice president, Wells Fargo Philanthropy and Community Impact. “We can help more people gain the tools and resources they need to achieve lasting financial success through close collaboration with trusted local organizations, like LISC Upstate South Carolina.”

By launching South Carolina’s first FOC program, AIM and LISC are forging a new pathway for families in the Upstate to improve household stability, overcome financial barriers, and build long-term wealth.

FOC coaches will work directly with residents to map out employment goals, create personalized financial action plans, access benefits, and build the kind of strong financial habits that support lasting success.

Entergy’s “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” Campaign Combats Food Insecurity for Vulnerable Communities This Holiday Season

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Entergy is dedicated to making a positive impact in the communities we serve. This November, we launched a “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” campaign, focusing on community assistance and food drives aimed at alleviating food insecurity for our most vulnerable neighbors across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. 

The Thanksgiving holiday has long been a meaningful time for addressing food insecurity and offering support to those in need. This year, many families are facing unprecedented challenges, with rising costs straining their resources. In response, Entergy employees partnered with local organizations to lend a helping hand to our neighbors. 

“At Entergy, we believe that our greatest strength lies in our commitment to the communities where we work, live and serve,” said Patty Riddlebarger, vice president of corporate social responsibility. “This campaign is not just about providing food; it’s about fostering hope and ensuring that our neighbors have a place at the table, especially during the holiday season.” 

Throughout November, our dedicated employees organized a variety of initiatives, including fundraising, canned food drives, turkey distribution events, and contributions to food banks, all designed to help customers in need during the holiday season.  

Key highlights of our efforts included:

  • Entergy Corporation, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans: Collaborated with the United Way of Southeast Louisiana, Second Harvest Food Bank, Northshore Food Bank, Our Daily Bread, Community Center of St. Bernard, Giving Hope, and the Junior League of New Orleans to collect nonperishable food items and diapers for our communities. Entergy New Orleans also partnered with Einstein Charter School Turkey Drive for the 6th year, feeding over 100 families.  
  • Entergy Arkansas: Donated $40,000 to Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, The Salvation Army and local pantries, and hosted successful food drives to gather essential supplies. Employees also volunteered at local food bank distributions, including those specifically for federal employees impacted by the recent government shutdown, and rang bells for the Red Kettle Campaign.
  • Entergy Mississippi: Joined forces with Extra Table for the “Give ‘Em a Bird” fundraiser, distributing over 9,000 chickens and raising vital funds to support local families.
  • Entergy Texas: Contributed $30,000 to aid local food banks in their efforts to combat food insecurity within vulnerable communities. 

Through these collective efforts, we remain committed to supporting our neighbors and strengthening our communities year-round, especially during these challenging times. Learn more at Entergy.com/communities.

United Breast Cancer Foundation Celebrates the Success of Its New York Pink Bag Event, Supporting Patients and Survivors Ahead of the Holidays

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

UBCF’s November Pink Bag Shopping event provided essential support and holiday-season relief to 91 women managing the impacts of breast cancer

HUNTINGTON STATION, N.Y., Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF) proudly announces the success of its multi-day, holiday themed Pink Bag Event, held November 10–22, with several additional bonus days due to high demand. More than 90 breast cancer patients and survivors received support, with UBCF distributing over $860,000 in high-quality, donated goods – a meaningful boost as families prepared for the holiday season.


UBCF hosted its multi-day, holiday themed Pink Bag Event November 10–22. More than 90 breast cancer patients and survivors received support, with UBCF distributing over $860,000 in high-quality, donated goods - a meaningful boost as families prepared for the holiday season.

The event, free for all qualified and approved attendees, offered a thoughtful and expansive shopping experience. Guests were offered a comprehensive selection of donated goods, including home essentials, bedding and mattresses, clothing, shoes, toys, beauty products, and personal care products – supporting families in preparation for the holiday season. Thanks to UBCF and the generosity of its supporters, dozens of families will enter the holiday season with greater stability, comfort, and joy.

“UBCF Pink Bag Events are designed to ease burdens and spread hope,” said Stephanie Mastroianni, UBCF’s President and Executive Director. “Seeing our inspiring and brave breast cancer clients walk away with not only essential goods but also renewed confidence and joy reminds us why our mission matters. We are grateful to our supporters and honored to stand with every patient, survivor, and family we serve.”

Client Stories of Impact

One attendee, Tracy, described how profoundly the event touched her family. She shared that the toys she received for her grandchildren “touched [her] heart,” especially because she had nothing to give them this Christmas. “Now I will be able to see their little faces light up with joy,” she said. She also expressed her gratitude for the mattress she received for herself and her daughter, calling it “an absolute blessing.” “I am blessed, grateful, and truly touched by your kindness,” she said, reflecting the relief and hope the event brought her household.”

Another participant, Lillian, emphasized the emotional support she feels as part of the UBCF community. She described UBCF as her “family,” sharing that the care and stability provided during her cancer journey “kept [her] together.” The event, she explained, wasn’t just about receiving items—it was about receiving hope. “It’s not just things or gifts—it’s more meaningful. It makes me feel hope,” she said.

For Ameeta, the kindness she encountered throughout the event was what stood out the most. She expressed heartfelt appreciation for every person involved, saying, “My family and I appreciate your kindness… Everyone was so kind and humble.” She called the event “special” and offered warm holiday blessings in gratitude. 

These powerful reflections highlight the deep emotional and practical impact of UBCF’s support during a critical time of year.

Next Event: February 10–21 in Huntington Station, NY

UBCF is excited to announce that the next Pink Bag Event in New York is taking place February 10–21, 2025, in Huntington Station, NY. The event will celebrate love, Valentine’s Day, and the strength of community care.

Participants do not need to be New York residents to attend. The event will again be free for all qualified and approved breast cancer patients and survivors. Learn more: https://ubcf.org/ny-pink-bag-shopping/
