We Animals Media's New Book "HIDDEN: Animals in the Anthropocene" Wins Two Major Awards Featuring 40 International Photojournalists and Foreword by Joaquin Phoenix, HIDDEN exposes a global emergency for animals

TORONTO, July 19: We Animals Media today announced that its latest book, HIDDEN: Animals in the Anthropocene, has recently won two major awards. HIDDEN is an unflinching new book of photography documenting our relationship with animals, featuring the work of 40 international photojournalists and a foreword by Academy Award-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix. HIDDEN exposes some of the billions of hidden animals in our lives: those we eat, wear, and use for entertainment, tradition, and experimentation. The 320-page collectible hardcover contains over 200 images from six continents. This urgent and unprecedented collection has just won Photography Book of the Year by Pictures of the Year International, and the Gold Medal for Outstanding Book of the Year - Most Likely to Save the Planet by Independent Publisher. HIDDEN breaks new ground in the field of animal photojournalism, which captures our control and power over animals. Like war photographers, animal photojournalists bravely document atrocities – largely hidden from public view – even breaking laws to uncover violence, systematic abuse, and exploitation. HIDDEN wins Photography Book of the Year and Outstanding Book of the Year - Most Likely to Save the Planet "The photojournalists represented in HIDDEN have entered some of the darkest, most unsettling places in the world," said Phoenix. "The images they have captured are a searing reminder of our unpardonable behavior towards animals and will serve as beacons of change for years to come." "These photos prove there is an emergency confronting animals globally, from industrial farming to climate change, and provide valuable insight into the relevance of animal suffering to human health," said creator and co-editor Jo-Anne McArthur, an award-winning photojournalist and author whose previous books We Animals and Captive document animals in human environments. HIDDEN is available for purchase on Amazon; for a full list of retailers, please visit https://weanimalsmedia.org/our-work/hidden/ About We Animals Media Founded by Jo-Anne McArthur, We Animals Media (WAM) is the world's leading animal photojournalism agency, documenting the stories of animals used for food, fashion, entertainment, tradition and experimentation through compelling photojournalism.

Electrolux adjusts dividend policy and proposes distribution of SEK 17 per share through share redemption

STOCKHOLM, July 19: Following a review of its capital structure, Electrolux today announces an adjusted dividend policy of approximately 50% of annual income, a proposed automatic share redemption of SEK 17 per share and an intention to resolve on share buybacks over time. "Electrolux has during recent years generated strong cash flow through improved profitability and high capital efficiency, despite large investments in strengthening its product and service offering as well as consumer interaction to boost organic growth", says Staffan Bohman, Chairman of the Board of Directors of AB Electrolux. "The Board has conducted a thorough review of the Group's strategic plans and current capital structure, where its first prioritisation is to maintain a high level of capacity for value creating organic investments and selective acquisitions. Since the Group's financial position is today very strong, the Board has also decided to distribute a larger part of the value created to our shareholders." Based on the review, the Board of Directors has decided to adjust the dividend policy; from the current target of a dividend corresponding to at least 30% of the annual income for the period, to approximately 50% of the annual income. In addition, the Board has decided to propose a cash distribution to the shareholders through an automatic share redemption procedure in the second half of 2021. Furthermore, in addition to the ordinary dividends, the Board's intention is to propose increased share buybacks with subsequent share cancellations to the shareholders' meetings over several years. As a first step, the Board intends to exercise the authorization from the AGM 2021 to buy back shares. Details regarding the size and duration of the intended buyback programs will be communicated as and when decided. "The Board's objective is to maintain a solid investment grade rating, as defined by leading rating institutes, meaning that over time the Group's net debt should not exceed two (2) times EBITDA. The adjusted dividend policy, the proposed distribution through share redemption and planned share buybacks are important parts in achieving an optimal capital structure for the Group", concludes Staffan Bohman. The Board has decided to propose to an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to resolve on a distribution to the shareholders of SEK 17 per share, equal to a total of approximately SEK 4.9bn, through an automatic share redemption procedure, in which each share is split into one ordinary share and one redemption share. The EGM is to be held on August 27, 2021. The proposed preliminary record day for the share redemption split is October 5, 2021. Trading in the redemption shares is estimated to take place on Nasdaq Stockholm as from October 6, 2021 up to October 22, 2021, after which the redemption share will automatically be redeemed. Payment of the redemption amount is estimated, if approved by the EGM, to be made on or around October 28, 2021. The notice convening the EGM including the complete terms of the proposed automatic share redemption procedure will be published on or around August 2, 2021. Electrolux will also publish an information brochure about the share redemption procedure on Electrolux website www.electroluxgroup.com/egm2021 on or around August 2, 2021. Share buyback program As mentioned, the Board intends to propose share buybacks with subsequent share cancellations to the shareholders' meetings over several years to reduce Electrolux share capital. As a first step, the Board intends to initiate a share buyback program in connection with completion of the 2021 automatic share redemption procedure, by utilizing the authorization from the AGM 2021 to repurchase own B shares up to a maximum of 10 percent of all shares issued by the company. Electrolux currently holds 21,522,858 own B shares, corresponding to approximately 7.0 per cent of the total number of shares in the company.

Both organizations recognize a shared commitment to developing leaders, promoting brotherhood and academic excellence, and with 30 years of existing partnerships across the country, BBBSA and Alpha Phi Alpha, Fraternity Inc., will take its efforts nationally to reach more young men through one-to-one mentoring.

And as a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, I know firsthand the tremendous impact this network can have on the life of a young man," said Artis Stevens, President and CEO, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

The Boy Scouts of America and the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center Expand Tools to Combat Abuse with Safety Awareness Videos for Teens

IRVING, Texas, July 19: The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) has launched a new series of personal safety awareness videos in partnership with the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center as part of ongoing efforts to help keep young people safe. The four new videos were developed and scripted by child advocates, psychologists, and national scholars, and are aimed at youth ages 14-17. The series will also be available to adults who are actively seeking out educational opportunities to learn how to better respond to and identify unsafe situations on behalf of minors. The age-appropriate guidance is intended to help young people know how to safely seek help in a variety of situations — including when facing abuse by a family member, trusted adult, or another youth. These topics are critically relevant given that more than a third of all sexual offenses against youth reported to police are committed by another youth, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. "We are dedicated to ensuring every child's right to a normal, safe, healthy, and secure life," said John Thoresen, Director and CEO of the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center. "We do this by providing the tools and resources necessary to identify, prevent, and report unsafe situations. This new personal safety awareness video series with the BSA goes a long way toward fulfilling this goal by providing those involved in Scouting, and all minors, with these resources for creating safer and healthier lives." This new series marks the second phase of the partnership between the two organizations, which began in 2019 when BSA expanded access to the Center's Protect Yourself Rules video series by building it into the existing curriculum and making it available to more than one million Cub Scouts (ages 5-10) and their parents. In a recent survey, nearly 93% of parents of Cub Scouts who utilized the videos said the resources helped them have a conversation with their child about protecting themselves. "We are committed to constantly improving our youth protection efforts and being part of the broader solution to end child abuse," said Roger Mosby, Chief Scout Executive, President and CEO of the Boy Scouts of America. "Partnering with the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center to expand the series of animated videos is the latest step in our ongoing efforts to protect young people — in Scouting and everywhere else." In addition to the Protect Yourself Rules video series, which is available on Scouting.org for youth ages 5-10 and now teens ages 14-17, the BSA has educational content for youth ages 11-13 as well as multi-layered, expert-informed safeguards in place to help prevent abuse across all age groups. These safeguards include: mandatory youth protection training for all volunteers and employees; a leadership policy that requires at least two youth-protection trained adults be present with youth at all times during Scouting activities and bans one-on-one situations where adults would have any interaction alone with children — either in person, online, or via phone or text; a thorough screening process for adult leaders and staff including criminal background checks; a ban on the use of recording devices/cell phones near bathrooms and shower houses; and the prompt mandatory reporting of any allegation or suspicion of abuse to law enforcement. More information about the BSA's youth safety measures is available at Scouting.org/YouthSafety. About the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center Founded in 1986 by Barbara and Frank Sinatra, the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center is dedicated to ensuring every child's right to a normal, healthy and secure childhood. Since its creation, about 23,000 children have received outpatient mental health and counseling services at the center. The Center provides individual, group, and family therapy and special programs that address issues associated with children suffering the effects of child abuse and neglect. An estimated 700 children are counseled annually on an outpatient basis, and no child is ever turned away because of a family's inability to pay. For more information, visit: BarbaraSinatraChildrensCenter.org. The animated video series, funded by the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center Foundation, has reached over 100 million children worldwide and generated over 37 million individual and group viewings on YouTube throughout the United States and abroad. About the Boy Scouts of America The Boy Scouts of America provides the nation's foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training, which helps young people be "Prepared.
