Record Date Stockholders will be entitled to purchase one new share of Common Stock for every three Rights held (1 for 3); however, any Common Stockholder who owns fewer than three shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date will be entitled to subscribe for one share of Common Stock.

EXCLUSIVE: These Emerging Markets Are The Calm In The Tariff Storm

Apr 24, 2025 : EWA, EWZ, INDA, ILF, EPI

EWZ / Brazil (26.85) PER: n/a NAV: same (-0.0%) Y: 7.47% R: 22.26-32.75

ILF : $24.78, Y: 6.28% R: 20.83 to 28.7937 :

As global markets spiral from fresh tariff hikes, some emerging markets defy the chaos—surviving and thriving.

In exclusive insights shared with Benzinga via email, Violeta Todorova, Senior Research Analyst at Leverage Shares, spotlighted several resilient economies she perceives as "best positioned to weather the tariff war volatility."

She says emerging markets are making the biggest impression, citing India, the UAE, parts of Latin America, and Australia.

Why India Is Insulated From Trade Disruptions

"India is seen as relatively insulated from global trade disruptions due to its strong focus on domestic consumption," Todorova said. With growth driven more by locals than exports, the market is shaping up to be a defensive powerhouse. Indian banks, in particular, shine due to "attractive valuations, room for loan growth, and lower exposure to international trade."

For U.S. investors, the iShares MSCI India ETF INDA and the WisdomTree India Earnings Fund EPI offer direct exposure.
