HYRE INVESTOR NEWS: ROSEN, GLOBALLY RESPECTED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages HyreCar Inc. Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – HYRE

NEW YORK, Sept. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of HyreCar Inc. (NASDAQ: HYRE) between May 14, 2021 and August 10, 2021, inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important October 26, 2021 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased HyreCar securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the HyreCar class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases–register–2152.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll–free at 866–767–3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 26, 2021. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) HyreCar had materially understated its insurance reserves; (2) HyreCar had systematically failed to pay valid insurance claims incurred prior to the Class Period; (3) HyreCar had incurred significant expenses transitioning to its new third–party insurance claims administrator and processing claims incurred from prior periods; (4) HyreCar had failed to appropriately price risk in its insurance products and was experiencing elevated claims incidence as a result; (5) HyreCar had been forced to dramatically reform its claims underwriting, policies and procedures in response to unacceptably high claims severity and customer complaints; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, HyreCar's operations and prospects were misrepresented because the Company was not on track to meet the financial estimates provided to investors during the Class Period, and such estimates lacked a reasonable basis in fact, including HyreCar's purported gross margin, EBITDA and net loss trajectories. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the HyreCar class action, go to http://www.rosenlegal.com/cases–register–2152.html or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll–free at 866–767–3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Toronto, Sept. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TORONTO, CANADA "" September 7, 2021 "" Intelex Technologies, ULC, a leading global provider of cloud–based Environmental, Health, Safety and Quality (EHSQ) management software, today announced the appointments of Michael Tuohy as its new Vice President of Environment and Sustainability and Steven Lavoie as its Senior Product Manager of Environment to drive rapid innovation within the environmental and sustainability sectors.

The Business Intelligence Group has also announced today that not only was Tuohy named its Sustainability Hero of the Year in its 2021 Sustainability Awards program, Intelex's ESG Management Suite won product of the year. The Sustainability Awards honor those who have made sustainability an integral part of their business practice and who use their role to make a meaningful impact on the environment. Organizations of all sizes submitted nominations to reward team members and gain exposure for their organizations, their initiatives and the exemplary accomplishments of their leaders as they work to improve our environment for future generations.

"We are so proud to reward and recognize all of our winners and finalists, as they provide the leadership and vision needed to protect our environment," said Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations Officer, Business Intelligence Group.

With over a decade of diverse technology and industry experience, Tuohy will now oversee the strategic development and delivery of Intelex's global environmental compliance and ESG solution suite. By significantly expanding capabilities and team size, Tuohy is helping to boost Intelex's ESG profile and increasing the ability of Intelex's solutions to meet and exceed the needs of today's global market. With global regulators and financiers using ESG as a gauge for risk, and the industry seeing a drastic shift in focus rarely seen before, Intelex is uniquely positioned to guide its clients through the complex landscape so they can become the leading companies of the future.

"Intelex is a company that not only says it values ESG, but truly believes in the importance of it and takes actions that genuinely help our clients have positive global impacts," said Tuohy. "It is an honor to be stepping into the role of Vice President of Environment and Sustainability, where I can continue to grow our innovative team that designs, builds and delivers the leading ESG Management Software solution."

Steven Lavoie, who has been at Intelex for nine years, has a background in energy and the environment, including field work as an onsite geologist for oil and gas, stack testing for mining, refineries, waste and water treatment.

Lavoie has a deep and thorough understanding of the energy industry and its ESG concerns and will drive product innovation and investments in technologies and talent around environmental compliance and sustainability.

"Transitioning into the role of Senior Product Manager of Environment could not be any more exciting than it is now. With today's fast–paced world, immediate and effective actions within the ESG field are what we need now more than ever, and I could not be more thrilled to be as involved in the process as I am" said Lavoie. "Working at Intelex, with other like–minded people who collaboratively have the same end goal of delivering out–of–the–box, efficient and effective ESG solutions, is an honor."

Intelex Technologies, ULC is a global leader in environmental, health, safety and quality (EHSQ) management software. Since 1992, Intelex employees across the globe have been committed to innovating and enabling organizations to send their employees home safely every day, leaving behind a more sustainable world to the generations that follow, and manage quality so that only the safest and highest quality products make it to market.

Intelex's scalable, web–based platform and applications have helped clients across all industries improve business performance, mitigate organization–wide risk, and ensure sustained compliance with internationally accepted standards (e.g. ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001) and OSHAS 18001) and regulatory requirements. Almost 1,400 customers in 195 countries trust Intelex to power their EHSQ initiatives.
