Aruba Networks, Inc. (NAS: ARUN) , a leading provider of next-generation network access solutions for the mobile enterprise, today announced Aruba WorkSpace, a new component of the company’s ClearPass Access Management System. With the addition of Aruba WorkSpace, for the first time, Network Access Control (NAC), Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Mobile Application Management (MAM) systems are a part of one solution and work together to secure company data and reduce BYOD helpdesk costs.

Aruba WorkSpace is built on an enterprise network policy system, making it network-fluent. This means higher network priority can be automatically assigned to work applications. In the event an employee’s device connects to an untrusted network, Aruba WorkSpace can automatically establish application-specific VPNs to encrypt traffic and provide uninterrupted access to internal resources. Aruba WorkSpace can also restrict network access if a device is jail-broken or contains unapproved applications.

“Existing approaches to BYOD have required enterprise IT departments to integrate different systems, adding complexity and creating employee usability and privacy concerns,” said Maribel Lopez, Principal Analyst, Lopez Research. “By combining all functions into a single platform, Aruba WorkSpace simplifies BYOD management, lessening the overall burden on IT.”

Mobile Device Management Partners Integrate for Network + Device + Application Management

As an alternative to its native device management functions, Aruba ClearPass features integration with top Mobile Device Management vendors, including AirWatch, Citrix, Fiberlink, JAMF Software, MobileIron and SOTI. This integration allows customers with existing …read more

Griffon Corporation (NYS: GFF) announced today that it has amended and extended its cash flow revolving credit facility pursuant to a previously disclosed commitment letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

The amended credit facility provides for revolving borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $225 million (increased from $200 million) that will support Griffon’s working capital requirements and its anticipated growth strategies. The facility also has a $75 million accordion feature, exercisable if new or existing lenders agree to provide or increase their commitments. Maturity of the facility has been extended from March 2016 to March 2018. Griffon currently has no borrowings outstanding under the amended credit facility; there are approximately $23 million of standby letters of credit currently outstanding.

Griffon may elect to pay interest based on either a LIBOR or base benchmark rate, with no floor, plus an applicable margin that depends on Griffon’s leverage ratio. Current pricing is LIBOR plus 2.25% (compared to 2.75% prior to the amendment) or base rate plus 1.25% (compared to 1.75% prior to the amendment). The facility is guaranteed by Griffon’s material domestic subsidiaries, and is collateralized by substantially all the assets of Griffon and its material domestic subsidiaries.

ILS PROTON SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHES SATMEX 8 SATELLITE FOR SATMEX

International Launch Services (ILS), a leader in providing mission integration and launch services to the global commercial satellite industry, today announced that it has successfully carried the Satmex 8 satellite into orbit on an ILS Proton launch vehicle for Satélites Mexicanos S.A. de C.V. (Satmex) of Mexico City, Mexico.

The ILS Proton Breeze M vehicle launched from Pad 39 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 01:07 today local time (19:07 GMT and 15:07 EDT on March 26). Utilizing a standard 5-burn Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) mission design, the Breeze M successfully released the Satmex 8 satellite into orbit 9 hours and 13 minutes after launch. The satellite, built on the flight-proven 1300 platform, weighed nearly 5.5 metric tons at liftoff and was the 25th Space Systems/Loral (SSL) satellite launched on an ILS Proton rocket. This was also the first Satmex satellite launched by ILS and the first ILS Proton launch of the year.

Satmex 8 will replace Satmex 5 and will provide enhanced performance and capacity in North, Central and South America at 116.8 west longitude. This new high-power, fixed service satellite has 24 C- and 40 Ku-band transponders, and will improve the current continental and regional services for video contribution and distribution, broadband, cellular backhaul and distance learning.

Satmex 8 adds 45% of total capacity over Satmex 5 which translates to 94% of increased capacity on Ku band to fulfill the growing demand for satellite services in the Americas.

This was the 384th launch for Proton since its maiden flight in 1965 and the 78th ILS Proton launch. The Proton Breeze M vehicle was developed and built by Khrunichev Research and Production Space Center of Moscow, Russia‘s premier space industry manufacturer and majority shareholder in ILS.

ABRAHAM, FRUCHTER & TWERSKY, LLP ANNOUNCES THAT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST SPECTRUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

Abraham, Fruchter & Twersky, LLP announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of all persons or entities who purchased the common stock of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum” or the “Company”) (NAS: SPPI) from August 8, 2012 through March 12, 2013, inclusive (the “Class Period“). The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5, promulgated thereunder, against the Company and certain of its officers and directors.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements to the investing public by dismissing concerns that sales of FUSILEV® (an oncology drug manufactured by Spectrum) would be adversely affected by increased supplies of leucovorin (a generic and competing drug of FUSILEV) and concealing the impact that the increased availability of leucovorin would have on FUSILEV sales. The complaint alleges that the defendants knew that when the availability of leucovorin increased, Spectrum would not be able to sustain its business outlook and revenue projections.

After the market closed on March 12, 2013, Spectrum surprised the market by reporting in a press release that sales of FUSILEV would be dropping significantly due to “a change in ordering patterns of FUSILEV.” The Company also decreased their full-year 2013 revenues forecast to a range of $160 to $180 million, significantly lower than analysts’ revenue expectations of $297.33 million. In a reaction to this news, shares of Spectrum common stock fell $4.64 per share, or 37%, on extremely high trading volume of 22.5 million shares.

BALA CYNWYD, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– First graph, first sentence of release dated March 19, 2013: Remove “, L.P. (“Kinder Morgan”).”

The corrected release reads:

LAW OFFICE OF BRODSKY & SMITH, LLC ANNOUNCES INVESTIGATION OF EDAC TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of EDAC Technologies Corporation (“EDAC” or the “Company”) (NAS: EDAC) relating to the proposed acquisition by GB Aero Engine, LLC, an affiliate of Greenbriar Equity Group LLC.

Under the terms of the transaction, EDAC shareholders will receive only $17.75 in cash for each share of EDAC stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of EDAC for not acting in the Company’s shareholders’ best interests in connection with the sale process to GB Aero Engine, LLC. The focus of the investigation is whether the EDAC Board of Directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to conduct an adequate and fair sales process prior to agreeing to this proposed transaction.

The transaction may undervalue EDAC as the Company has indicated that it has executed a strategic plan to achieve strong profitable growth by diversifying its business with prime and Tier-1 aerospace customers, transitioning their industrial business to move more full scale programs and complex parts, broadening its core competencies through selective acquisitions and improving efficiency company-wide. This has resulted in first quarter sales being increased 25% and gross profits being increased by 35% from the fourth quarter of 2011.

If you own shares of EDAC stock and wish to discuss the legal ramifications of the proposed transaction, or have any questions, you may e-mail or call the law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC who will, without obligation or cost to you, attempt to answer your questions.

CORRECTING and REPLACING Cross Country Healthcare Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Results

BOCA RATON, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to revision in the conference call information.

The corrected release reads:

CROSS COUNTRY HEALTHCARE REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2012 RESULTS

Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (NAS: CCRN) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. Current and historical amounts have been adjusted to reflect the previously disclosed sale of the Clinical Trial Services segment in February 2013, which has been reclassified as discontinued operations.

Consolidated revenue from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $111.7 million, an increase of 3% from the prior year quarter, but a slight decrease sequentially from the third quarter of 2012. Including discontinued operations, the Company incurred a net loss in the fourth quarter of 2012 of $9.5 million, or $(0.31) per diluted share, which includes a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $(0.24) per diluted share related to the clinical trial services business. Loss from continuing operations before income taxes was $1.3 million, including a $0.8 million charge recognized in the fourth quarter for a professional liability indemnity claim in the nurse and allied staffing business. The Company anticipates recovering some, if not all of this expense in a future period; however, U.S. GAAP accounting rules preclude the Company from recognizing a gain contingency until it is realized. The Company also incurred a one-time $0.7 million expense for an immaterial correction in calculating deferred rent, which primarily accumulated from 2002 to 2010. Loss from continuing operations after taxes was $3.0 million, or $(0.10) per diluted share. Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $4.4 million.

In the same quarter of the prior year, the Company had consolidated revenue from continuing operations of $109.0 million. Loss from continuing operations in the prior year quarter was $0.2 million. Net income including discontinued operations was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

For the full year 2012, consolidated revenue from continuing operations was $442.6 million, an increase of 1% from the prior year. Including discontinued operations, the Company had a net loss of $42.2 million, or $(1.37) per diluted share. The net loss included a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the second quarter of 2012 of $12.1 million after-tax, or $(0.39) per diluted …read more
