Part 4 of Legal & General’s new study on the U.S. Gig Economy finds workers lacking health insurance coverage and other financial safety nets

Legal & General

- 23% of respondents have no health insurance - 1 in 3 gig working parents have no health insurance - 40% of gig workers have life insurance, including those with partners and children - 42% ranked access to healthcare, life insurance, and a pension plan as top lures back to traditional employment A fourth segment of a broad new study sponsored by Legal & General Group ( LGEN, LGNNY ), U.S. Gig Economy, Part 4: Gig Workers Aren’t Meeting Their Health, Life Insurance Needs, was released today. The report is part of a continuing exploration of the changing nature of work in the U.S., people’s relationship to it, and what employers should be thinking about in order to attract back talent. The study looks into why people choose or find their way to the U.S. Gig Economy, and some of the tradeoffs they make to maintain their independence. Between Part 3, Why Gig Work Is Becoming a Choice for So Many, and the current report, Legal & General released a Flash Report on Tech Workers in the U.S. Gig Economy in response to massive layoffs in the tech sector and the flood of workers likely to enter the freelance market as a result. This fourth segment of the data-rich study, Gig Workers Aren’t Meeting Their Health, Life Insurance Needs, finds that nearly half (48%) of gig workers find their access to health insurance negatively affected by deciding to engage in freelance work. The study also looks into the proportion and demographics of gig workers who are underinsured or uninsured for both health and life insurance and seeks to answer the question of how their situation compares to salaried American workers. The study found that many gig workers are stressed and frustrated by the lack of a social safety net, with the discrepancy between the overall number of Americans insured for healthcare and the number of gig workers insured pointing to a financially insecure and underrepresented segment of the workforce. Nor were the shortfalls limited to health insurance. Other key social and financial safety nets were also poorly represented among gig workers, the study notes, including life insurance, disability insurance, and retirement savings. “The pandemic has made it abundantly clear that we can’t have economic health without physical health. Healthcare coverage is considered a given in most wealthy, industrialized nations. American gig workers expressing insecurity over their coverage acts as a call to action for companies to tackle this deeply ingrained divide. The private sector has the collective know-how and financial wherewithal to develop creative levelling-up solutions that make both social and fiscal sense.” Sir Nigel Wilson, Chief Executive, Legal & General Group Other factors contribute to low insurance coverage Legal & General’s study looks at the complex and multifaceted societal and financial factors behind independent work, including the role of the pandemic in worsening medical care and coverage for many gig workers, and the implications of recent U.S. government policy changes. “The steady growth of the U.S. gig economy spotlights the importance of addressing these basic safety nets. While a handful of gig work platforms are doing a great job of providing affordable coverage, the larger population of independent workers has yet to be included. We hope this research will bring to the forefront the need to create a user-friendly benefits infrastructure and bring it to this broader population of gig workers.” John Godfrey, Director of Levelling-Up, Legal & General Group Future segments of this research will look in depth at the fierce independent mindedness of gig workers; their outlook and situation around retirement planning; what it would take to get gig workers to go back to the traditional workplace; and a closer look at the pandemic fallout for gig workers. To receive a pdf of any of these reports, please email Meir Kahtan/MKPR at mkahtan@rcn.com. Notes to editors The information contained in this press release is intended solely for journalists and should not be relied upon by private investors or any other persons to make financial decisions About the Study Legal & General undertook proprietary research into the attitudes and changes U.S. gig workers are experiencing in relation to their work situations and financial outlook. The U.S. Gig Economy research was compiled using original survey data from 1044 U.S.-based workers aged 18 to 60 who are neither students nor retired, and who earn at least 60% of their income from gig work. The data was collected via online survey fielded to individuals sample sourced from YouGov’s US panel. The Legal & General-designed survey was scripted and hosted on Gryphon, YouGov’s proprietary survey scripting platform, and the field work took place between August 19 and 31, 2022. Key demographics such as age, gender and region were allowed to fall out naturally. 20 questions were designed to understand facts about earnings, drivers of and barriers to gig working, financial product ownership & financial capacity when coming across adverse situations, and future expectations of being involved in the gig economy. Verbatim comments were captured by Legal & General in research carried out in June 2022. Established in 1836, Legal & General is one of the UK's leading financial services groups and a major global investor, with over £1.4 trillion ($1.7 trillion) in total assets under management* of which a third is international. We also provide powerful asset origination capabilities. Together, these underpin our leading retirement and protection solutions: we are a leading international player in pension risk transfer, in UK and US life insurance, and in UK workplace pensions and retirement income. Through inclusive capitalism, we aim to build a better society by investing in long-term assets that benefit everyone. *as of December 31, 2021 Contact Details Meir Kahtan +1 917-864-0800 mkahtan@rcn.com Company Website https://www.legalandgeneralgroup.com/

CeCors Finalizes Terms with VetComm to Enter the Multi-Billion Dollar Veteran Benefits Industry

CeCors, Inc.

McapMediaWire - CECORS, INC. (OTC: CEOS ) ("CeCors" or the "Company"), is pleased to provide corporate highlights from the final quarter of fiscal 2022 and an update to the earlier press release dated December 19, 2022, regarding initial negotiations with VetComm Corp. CeCors and VetComm founder, Kate Monroe have agreed in principle to terms as part of the planned 100 percent purchase of VetComm Corp. VetComm Corp. is a veteran's education, and benefits company focused on assisting the over 14 million United States veterans that qualify for underutilized annual benefits and owed compensation, resulting in estimated Billions of dollars of unclaimed benefits every month in the United States. Users of VetComm can file claims for free, with no medical or service records required. VetComm also focuses resources to support and donate to Veteran Charities. VetComm's goal for 2023 is to help 1 million veterans get rated, offering support packages leading to benefits with costs ranging from $247 to $997, generating potential revenues for VetComm between $247 million and $997 million annually. As part of the initially agreed-upon terms of the acquisition, CeCors will issue a combination of unregistered, restricted preferred and common shares. In addition, each of Sukhinder Kalsi, Director and CFO and Amar Bhatal, President, Secretary and Director, will assign half of their Series A Preferred Shares to VetComm founder Kate Monroe as part of the proposed acquisition terms. Management of the Company continues to be focused on limiting dilution and bringing value to shareholders using CeCors current capital structure. Concurrent with closing, Kate Monroe will step in as CEO of CeCors, Inc., and VetComm will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Operations of the controlled subsidiary PsyKey, Inc. will continue to run in parallel. "Now that we have come to a mutual agreement on the terms of the acquisition, we can focus on closing and consolidating our efforts moving forward. We have worked diligently to reach terms agreeable to all parties and expect to close the transaction in Q1 2023. The more we learned about VetComm as part of our due diligence process, the more we understood VetComm's vast potential for growth. Kate is determined to enroll 1 million veterans into the VetComm platform this fiscal year (2023), potentially putting billions of dollars into the pockets of deserving veterans who have put their lives on the line for their country." commented Mr. Sukhinder Kalsi, CeCors' Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Kalsi added, "Kate is the most determined and motivated individual I've ever encountered. Being a marine corps veteran, she has real insight into the daily challenges veterans face due to a lack of financial and mental health resources. With the current uncertainty in the global economy, VetComm can be an indispensable service partner for all vets seeking benefits." "I'm very excited to have come to terms on the acquisition of VetComm. We have an opportunity to get our message out to every veteran who is entitled to unused benefits and compensation. The idea of being involved with a public company only enhances our platform to get our message out to the over 14 million veterans who are entitled to compensation. With our existing high-level political and celebrity backing, we're confident we will hit our goal of enrolling 1 million veterans this year," concluded Kate Monroe. Year in Review for CeCors, Inc. 2022 Milestones The Company has worked diligently over the past year to acquire its initial revenue-generating operations, and OTCMarkets has recently updated our online profile to denote our exit from Shell Status. This milestone was in part achieved as a result of the successful launch of our first retail-ready product offering, PsyKey Functional Mushroom Infused Coffee. The launch saw both consumer support and major corporate interest leading to the fulfillment of substantial purchase orders. Continuing with management's goal of steady corporate growth and wanting to help create inclusivity and ease of access to mental health support, the Company also recently completed the development of its Telemental Health App PsyKey Live. The App is currently being beta tested with real-world scenarios and expanded to allow for additional capabilities. Building a strong medical, scientific, and management team also continues to be a priority for the Company and was complemented by the 2022 additions of John Gustin as head of Global Business Development; Dr. Michael J. McCarthy as an appointee to our Scientific Advisory Board; and Dr. Shahiem Hartley to our Medical Advisory Board. The addition of Dr. Hartley will help the Company build a mental health support and education platform, while the additions of John Gustin and Dr. McCarthy provide a conduit into the scientific world and the ability for the Company to adequately develop and introduce scientific advancements and patented technologies to the market. On behalf of the entire CeCors and PsyKey team, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to our amazing shareholders for their patience and support this past year. We are excited about what 2023 has in store for the Company, and we look forward to providing regular updates as we continue.

2022 Was A Year Of Growth, Funding, And Positive Results For BioRestorative Therapies

BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga BioRestorative Therapies Inc. (NASDAQ: BRTX) (“BioRestorative”) may have had a successful year of novel drug development. The company is engaged in developing therapeutic products using cell and tissue protocols, primarily with adult stem cells, for large multi-billion dollar markets that are underserved and affect millions of Americans, like chronic lower back pain and metabolic disorders. BioRestorative currently has two major programs that are being evaluated for a variety of chronic diseases and pain. Their novel drug BRTX-100 is an autologous stem cell product; the cells are harvested, cultured and then injected directly into the patient’s body. BioRestorative’s other product — ThermoStem® — has shown promising results in preclinical models for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic diseases. In December, BioRestorative was awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant. This grant was given for the development and evaluation of the company’s ThermoStem program for developing a therapeutic to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Previously, the company was granted a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant for Phase 1 development of BRTX-100 to explore the therapeutic effects of PEG-peptide hydrogel-encapsulated hypoxic bone marrow stem cells. It’s rare that a company of its size has received two government grants, validating its technology and potential application. The company entered into an agreement with Regenexx, LLC, providing BioRestorative with the exclusive worldwide commercial rights of the intellectual property that is underlying some key principles of BRTX-100. Currently, BRTX-100 is in a Phase 2 trial with approximately 15 sites in the U.S. This exclusive arrangement should provide value to BRTX and or a commercial partner in potential later-stage development transactions. BRTX-100 began Phase 2 trials in February, defined as a prospective, randomized, double-blinded controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BRTX from a single injected dose. One of the company’s significant developments in 2022 was the completion of a cGMP manufacturing facility with an ISO 7-certified clean room. This facility was completed in April and was instrumental in progressing the company forward to meet the needs of Phase 2 clinical trials for chronic lumbar disc disease. Throughout the year, BioRestorative participated in several high-profile conferences. The company presented at H.C. Wainwright Bioconnect, Roth Inaugural Healthcare Conference and Dawson James Securities Conference, to name a few. BioRestorative was also granted a patent application for their ThermoStem program in Japan, which demonstrates the company’s potential for global application of their therapeutic products. BioRestorative and other companies like Lineage Cell Therapeutics Inc (NYSE: LCTX), Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: BCLI), Vericel Corp (NASDAQ: VCEL) and large cap pharma as well such as Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) are leading the charge towards a new era of medical advancement. As biotech companies become increasingly successful at providing therapeutic solutions, it will be interesting to see how technology and innovation leads to higher quality of life for patients who have previously been left with little or no solutions. To learn more about BioRestorative, visit its website. This article was originally published on Benzinga here. BioRestorative Therapies was founded by scientists and researchers committed to developing stem cell therapies to address unmet needs in patients with highly prevalent conditions.Our advances in stem cell biology and delivery protocols harbor great promise in conditioning our bodies’ own regenerative potential to treat major diseases more effectively than current interventions.Today, BioRestorative is actively developing programs that aim to dramatically increase quality of care for both (i) chronic back pain caused by disc degeneration, as well as (ii) metabolic disorders including obesity and diabetes.
