PUMA and Manchester City Announce Long-Term Extension to Successful Global Partnership

 HERZOGENAURACH, Germany - Tuesday, 15. July 2025


(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sports company PUMA and Premier League football club Manchester City have signed a long-term extension of their partnership, which since the 2019/20 season has exceeded all expectations on and off the pitch.


The contract extension will allow PUMA and Manchester City to continue to innovate and create products that appeal to the club’s ever-growing global community of fans over the coming seasons.


“PUMA’s partnership with Manchester City has been a great success both on and off the pitch,” said PUMA Chief Executive Officer Arthur Hoeld. “Trophies, a perfect stage for our performance products and commercial success were exceptional.”


PUMA has celebrated many successes with the club during the partnership - most notably the Treble Winning 2022/23 season, four consecutive Premier League titles, and several domestic cup competition wins for the men’s first team and an FA Cup and League Cup victory for Manchester City Women.


During the partnership, Manchester City’s Elite Development Squad (EDS) has also secured four Premier League 2 titles and the Under-18s have won two FA Youth Cups and were named Premier League National Champions on three occasions.


Commercially, PUMA and Manchester City have set new club sales global records over the years and co-created iconic, best-selling kits such as the 2022/23 Colin Bell inspired home shirt worn during the treble-winning season.


“We joined forces with PUMA with the ambition to challenge ourselves and go beyond the expectations. We have achieved this and more over the last six seasons,” said Ferran Soriano, Chief Executive Officer of City Football Group. “PUMA have seamlessly integrated into our organisation, and we've enjoyed many historic moments together, engaging fans globally. Today’s renewal and extension solidifies our relationship and projects it to an even brighter future.”


PUMA and Manchester City have introduced industry-leading innovations both in terms of product and marketing campaigns over the past seasons. In 2022, they launched a kit in the metaverse for the first time with partner Roblox and more recently invited Man City fans to design a future kit by using AI technology.


PUMA’s subsidiary STICHD is the exclusive retail partner of Manchester City and helped expand the club’s retail footprint with the opening of City Stores in Manchester Arndale, within the ‘City Challenge’ in Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi and the four-month pop-up City Store at Rockefeller Centre, New York last summer. Manchester City’s online store ManCity.com is also operated by STICHD. As part of this new long-term partnership there is a commitment to continue the global expansion of the City Store network including a new flagship store as part of the ongoing development of the Etihad Campus.


Manchester City has also supported PUMA with sustainability initiatives such as its innovative RE:FIBRE recycling project. Since 2024, all Manchester City replica shirts are manufactured using RE:FIBRE materials that were recycled from factory off-cuts, faulty goods, and pre-loved clothing as the primary source of material.


PUMA are also partner of City Football Group clubs Melbourne City FC, Girona, Lommel, Mumbai City FC, Montevideo, Palermo, Bolivia and most recently Bahia and ESTAC.

KnowBe4 Delivers AI-Driven Email Security to Small and Medium Businesses to Tackle Outbound Email Risk

 


TAMPA BAY, Fla. -

Using advanced machine learning, neural networks and behavioral analytics, KnowBe4 Prevent mitigates outbound email data breaches


(BUSINESS WIRE)--KnowBe4, the world-renowned cybersecurity platform that comprehensively addresses human risk management, today announced the release of KnowBe4 Prevent across all market segments – an AI-driven email security product designed to enable organizations to manage the problem of outbound email risk. Following the release of Prevent Enterprise, Prevent is now available to suit the needs of small to medium-sized businesses.


In 2025, human error remains the leading cause of data breaches (according to Verizon, 60% of incidents involve the ‘human element’). The overwhelming volume of digital communications creates more opportunities for employees to expose sensitive information to the wrong recipients, attaching incorrect files, or inadvertently including confidential data. These breaches incur severe penalties, financial losses, and reputational damage, underscoring the critical need for prevention. However, traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) offerings rely solely on inflexible static rules and lack real visibility into what is being sent, to whom, and when.


To address this challenge, KnowBe4 introduces Prevent, an AI-native outbound email security product that alerts your employees in real time when they are about to send emails and attachments to the wrong person. Prevent proactively detects and stops the full spectrum of outbound email security threats, including:


Misdirected emails to incorrect recipients, including those as a result of autocomplete

Unauthorized sharing of sensitive information

Replies to suspicious emails and newly registered domains

Data exfiltration attempts by malicious insiders or compromised accounts

Misattached files, including hidden data within attachments (Prevent Enterprise)

Internal unauthorized disclosure and breach of information barriers (Prevent Enterprise)

Combined with detailed reporting and analytics, security teams are able to get a complete view of outbound security risk across the organization, behavioral analytics of users’ interactions with Prevent’s prompts and quantification of the prevented incidents to demonstrate efficacy and return on investment (ROI).


“Outbound email risk continues to be one of the most persistent and costly challenges an organization can face – one that requires smarter, more adaptive approaches to effectively address them,” said Greg Kras, chief product officer at KnowBe4. “KnowBe4 has a proven track record of effectively addressing Human Risk Management, so we are proud to expand that coverage to include outbound email risk. Prevent is the most intelligent and proactive outbound email security product among today's email data loss prevention methods. Unlike traditional products, it uses advanced machine learning and contextual understanding of user behavior to identify risky actions in real time and prevent a data breach before it occurs. This allows organizations to stop incidents at the source, empower employees to make safer decisions, and enable security teams to manage and reduce risk at scale.”

 LONDON & NEW YORK - Tuesday, 15. July 2025 AETOSWire Print 



(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Deltatre, a leading international provider of streaming, digital, data, and graphics solutions for the sports, media, and entertainment industries, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Endeavor Streaming from Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc.


In bringing together these complementary and proven digital and OTT providers, Deltatre is joining its advanced product suite – D3 VOLT, FORGE, AXIS, and DIVA, which delivers multi-functional digital experiences with integrated video – with Endeavor Streaming’s pure-play OTT product, VESPER. They will also unite their digital strategy, consulting, and direct-to-consumer growth marketing services.


The combined business will be best equipped to deliver for sports, media, and entertainment clients through a compelling and comprehensive range of digital experiences – all within a centralized partnership with Deltatre – moving away from the complexity of tactical, multi-vendor service provider deployments.

Endeavor Streaming is a highly respected player in our industry and its offerings are a natural complement to our existing products and services,” said Andrea Marini, CEO of Deltatre. “I strongly believe this move positions Deltatre as a leader in delivering high-quality, fully integrated digital and OTT deployments.”


“Endeavor Streaming has established itself as a trusted partner to the world’s largest sports and media companies, as they transition their businesses from linear-driven experiences into a direct-to-consumer driven future,” said Fred Santarpia, President of Endeavor Streaming. “With Deltatre, we look forward to delivering even greater opportunities to create value for our partners in growing audiences and revenue.”


Deltatre and Endeavor Streaming have also focused heavily on the productization of their platforms and services – enabling repeatable, cost-effective, and rapid deployment – coupled with a large engineering function for customized launches. Together, the companies will be positioned to continue serving the largest global platforms as well as smaller properties and regional players.


The acquisition further strengthens Deltatre’s global footprint with extended operational support across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.


The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.


Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP is serving as legal advisor to Deltatre, and New Deal Advisors SpA is acting as its financial advisor. Latham & Watkins LLP is serving as legal advisor to Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc., and The Raine Group is acting as its financial advisor.

Loomis Sayles Celebrates 15 Years of Growth Equity Strategies Team Under Leadership of Aziz V. Hamzaogullari

BOSTON - Tuesday, 15. July 2025


(BUSINESS WIRE)--Loomis, Sayles & Company:


This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250714614048/en/


Loomis, Sayles & Company proudly celebrates the 15-year anniversary of a differentiated approach to growth equity investing under the leadership of Aziz V. Hamzaogullari, CFA, the founder, chief investment officer and portfolio manager of the Loomis Sayles Growth Equity Strategies (GES) Team. Aziz is also an executive vice president and a member of the firm’s Board of Directors.


GES is a cohesive team with nearly 19 years of alpha generation and a long-term, private equity approach to investing.

Under Aziz Hamzaogullari’s leadership since 2010, assets under management for GES have grown from $1.9 billion to nearly $91 billion as of 31 May 2025.

Aziz brought a differentiated approach to equity investing when he joined Loomis Sayles in 2010. A proprietary seven-step research framework supports the GES Team’s long-term, private equity approach to investing. The Team seeks to invest in those few high-quality businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and profitable growth only when they trade at a discount to the GES estimate of intrinsic value.


Underpinned by this singular investment philosophy, the GES Team expanded its platform from US-focused Large Cap Growth and All Cap Growth strategies to also include Global Growth, International Growth long-only strategies as well as the Long/Short Growth Equity hedge fund strategy. These strategies also are available in vehicles available to US investors.


The GES Team believes a focus on the quality of a manager’s investment philosophy, process and decision-making is essential for assessing the probability of future success. The GES alpha thesis encapsulates a deeply held system of persistent beliefs, a rigorous, repeatable investment process and substantive proof points.


“Since joining Loomis Sayles in 2010, Aziz and the GES Team have consistently distinguished themselves through a relentless focus on striving to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns for investors. Backed by their differentiated approach, they have demonstrated skilled and disciplined decision-making as well as a strong performance track record of which we are very proud,” said Kevin Charleston, chief executive officer of Loomis Sayles.


“I would like to thank our investors for their trust. We will continue to be committed to our guiding principles of long-term investing based on our key differentiated insights,” said Aziz V. Hamzaogullari, CFA, founder, chief investment officer and portfolio manager of the Loomis Sayles Growth Equity Strategies Team.

KEY INVESTMENT RISKS FOR THE LARGE CAP GROWTH, ALL CAP GROWTH, GLOBAL GROWTH, AND INTERNATIONAL GROWTH STRATEGIES

Equity Risk

The risk that the value of stock may decline for issuer-related or other reasons.

Market Risk

The risk that the market value of a security may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based upon a change in market or economic conditions.

Non-US Securities Risk

The risk that the value of non-US investments will fall as a result of political, social, economic or currency factors or other issues relating to non-US investing generally. Among other things, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes or diplomatic developments can negatively impact the value of investments. Non-US securities markets may be relatively small or underdeveloped, and non-US companies may not be subject to the same degree of regulation or reporting requirements as comparable US companies. This risk is heightened for underdeveloped or emerging markets, which may be more likely to experience political or economic stability than larger, more established countries. Settlement issues may occur.

Smaller or Mid-Sized Companies Risk

The risk that the equity securities of these companies may be subject to more abrupt price movements, limited markets and less liquidity than investments in larger, more established companies.

Liquidity Risk

The risk that the strategy may be unable to find a buyer for its investments when it seeks to sell them.

Non-Diversified Strategies

Non-diversified strategies tend to be more volatile than diversified strategies and the market as a whole.

Currency Risk

The risk that the value of investments will fall as a result of changes in exchange rates, particularly for global portfolios.

Derivatives Risk (for portfolios that utilize derivatives)

The risk that the value of the Strategy’s derivatives instruments will fall because of changes in the value of the underlying reference instrument, pricing difficulties or lack of correlation with the underlying investment.

Leverage Risk (for portfolios that utilize leverage)

The risk of increased loss in value or volatility due to the use of leverage or obtaining investment exposure greater than the value of an account.

Counterparty Risk

The risk that the counterparty to a swap or other derivatives contract will default on its obligations.

Models and Data Risk

The strategy may utilize quantitative model-based strategies. This is the risk that one or all of the quantitative or systematic models used may fail to identify profitable opportunities at any time. These models may incorrectly identify opportunities and these misidentified opportunities may lead to substantial losses. Models may be predictive in nature and may result in an incorrect assessment of future events. Data used in the construction of models may prove to be inaccurate or stale, which may result in investment losses.

General Risk

Any investment that has the possibility for profits also has the possibility of losses, including loss of principal.


KEY INVESTMENT RISKS – LONG/SHORT GROWTH EQUITY STRATEGY

Equity Risk

The risk that the value of the Strategy's investments in equity securities is subject to the risks of unpredictable declines in the value of individual securities and periods of below-average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole.

Short Sale Risk

The risk of losing an amount greater than the amount initially invested. Short selling is limited only by the maximum attainable price of the security less the price at which it was sold and is considered a form of leverage.

Non-Us Securities Risk

The risk that the value of non-US investments will fall as a result of political, social, economic or currency factors or other issues relating to non-US investing generally. Among other things, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes or diplomatic developments can negatively impact the value of investments. This risk is heightened for underdeveloped or emerging markets, which may be more likely to experience political or economic stability than larger, more established countries. Settlement issues may occur.

Non-Diversification Risk

The risk that the portfolio’s value may decline due to movements in the price of one or a small number of investments.

Currency Risk

The risk that the value of investments will fall as a result of changes in exchange rates

Derivatives Risk

The risk that the value of the Strategy’s derivatives instruments will fall because of changes in the value of the underlying reference instrument, pricing difficulties or lack of correlation with the underlying investment.

Leverage Risk

The risk of increased loss in value or volatility due to the use of leverage or obtaining investment exposure greater than the value of an account.

Counterparty Risk

The risk that the counterparty to a derivatives contract will default on its obligations.
