Investor Contact: Matt Bacso VP, Investor Relations and Business Operations m.bacso@procept-biorobotics.comJake Paul and Mike Tyson have both been suspended by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) after their highly-anticipated fight. The two men were given the mandatory minimum of days, which in this case, is a 24-day suspension after their fight in Arlington. TDLR have a stipulation in place where each fighter is required to rest for at least three days per round fought, and because the the YouTuber-turned-boxer and the former undisputed heavyweight champion only fought for eight rounds, they will be suspended for 24 days, according to MMA Junkie . Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor also will be banned from competing as well. With their fight going the distance, which Taylor won via a unanimous decision, the two stars will also be shelved for more than a month as a result of the fight, with the two being suspended for 45 days. Mike Tyson hid health problems from Jake Paul after fearing he would die before fight Jake Paul issues Mike Tyson fight apology as he makes major world title claim And while Serrano and Taylor's fight proved to be an incredible display of will and strength, Paul and Tyson's main event bout appeared to be anything but that. After a quick flurry from the 58-year-old early in the fight, Tyson appeared to tire quickly, with Paul taking advantage of his opponent's lack of stamina. After eight rounds of lackluster boxing , the 27-year-old was awarded a unanimous decision, with Paul bowing to Tyson in the waning moments of the final round. Speaking to his fans after the fact, Paul apologised for choosing not to knockout Tyson, despite promising he would do so. "I'm sorry I didn't knock him out," Paul began, with those alongside him agreeing he did the respectful move by not knocking down the 58-year-old legend. He also admitted to pulling his punches after he saw Tyson in a weakened state as the fight wore on. "After I'd seen him tired I didn't want to put too much hurt on him, but I wanted the fans to get a good experience," he continued. "But there was a point where my aggression and violence went away when I wasn't getting hit. I love Mike." Paul also added that fighting against Tyson was "different" compared to his previous bouts. In particular, he noted that his approach and being in a better headspace helped him calculate what Tyson was going to do and how to better prepare for what his 58-year-old opponent was going to do. "Fighting in a stadium, it is less personal and less loud so it is less nerve racking," Paul said. "Arenas are harder to fight in. Walk out, I was cool, calm and collected. "First round I was gauging his speed, and I managed to get his time pretty quick, saw how I could tag him up and touch him. The rest was pretty much history, I just out boxed him and had fun." With Paul proving he is one of the biggest draws in the sport, with over 100 million viewers tuning in at one point , the youngster believes he deserves a shot at facing some of the biggest names in the boxing. As a result, Paul believes he could be a champion in the coming years after defeating Tyson . "I think it could happen in the next 24 months. I truly, truly believe in my skills and my ability and my power. And the cruiserweight division is seemingly open for the taking on that timeline," he said.

NEW YORK — What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing . But it wasn't just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin , gold and other investments also drove higher. Here's a look at some of the numbers that defined the year. All are as of Dec. 20. 1998 Remember when President Bill Clinton got impeached or when baseball's Mark McGwire hit his 70th home run against the Montreal Expos? That was the last time the U.S. stock market closed out a second straight year with a leap of at least 20%, something the S&P 500 is on track to do again this year. The index has climbed 24.3% so far this year, not including dividends, following last year's spurt of 24.2%. 57 The number of all-time highs the S&P 500 has set so far this year. The first came early, on Jan. 19, when the index capped a two-year comeback from the swoon caused by high inflation and worries that high interest rates instituted by the Federal Reserve to combat it would create a recession. But the index was methodical through the rest of the year, setting a record in every month outside of April and August, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices. The latest came on Dec. 6. 3 The number of times the Federal Reserve has cut its main interest rate this year from a two-decade high, offering some relief to the economy. Expectations for those cuts, along with hopes for more in 2025, were a big reason the U.S. stock market has been so successful this year. The 1 percentage point of cuts, though, is still short of the 1.5 percentage points that many traders were forecasting for 2024 at the start of the year. The Fed disappointed investors in December when it said it may cut rates just two more times in 2025, fewer than it had earlier expected. 1,508 That’s how many points the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by the day after Election Day, as investors made bets on what Donald Trump’s return to the White House will mean for the economy and the world . The more widely followed S&P 500 soared 2.5% for its best day in nearly two years. Aside from bitcoin, stocks of banks and smaller winners were also perceived to be big winners. The bump has since diminished amid worries that Trump’s policies could also send inflation higher. $100,000 The level that bitcoin topped to set a record above $108,000 this past month. It's been climbing as interest rates come down, and it got a particularly big boost following Trump's election. He's turned around and become a fan of crypto, and he's named a former regulator who’s seen as friendly to digital currencies as the next chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, replacing someone who critics said was overly aggressive in his oversight. Bitcoin was below $17,000 just two years ago following the collapse of crypto exchange FTX. 26.7% Gold's rise for the year, as it also hit records and had as strong a run as U.S. stocks. Wars around the world have helped drive demand for investments seen as safe, such as gold. It's also benefited from the Fed's cut to interest rates. When bonds are paying less in interest, they pull away fewer potential buyers from gold, which pays investors nothing. $420 It's a favorite number of Elon Musk, and it's also a threshold that Tesla's stock price passed in December as it set a record. The number has a long history among marijuana devotees, and Musk famously said in 2018 that he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share . Tesla soared this year, up from less than $250 at the start, in part because of expectations that Musk's close relationship with Trump could benefit the company. $91.2 billion That's how much revenue Nvidia made in the nine months through Oct. 27, showing how the artificial-intelligence frenzy is creating mountains of cash. Nvidia's chips are driving much of the move into AI, and its revenue through the last nine months catapulted from less than $39 billion the year before. Such growth has boosted Nvidia's worth to more than $3 trillion in total. 74% GameStop’s gain on May 13 after Keith Gill, better known as “Roaring Kitty,” appeared online for the first time in three years to support the video game retailer’s stock, which he helped rocket to unimaginable heights during the “ meme stock craze ” in 2021. Several other meme stocks also jumped following his post in May on the social platform X, including AMC Entertainment. Gill later disclosed a sizeable stake in the online pet products retailer Chewy, but he sold all of his holdings by late October . 1.6%, 3.0% and 3.1% That's how much the U.S. economy grew, at annualized seasonally adjusted rates, in each of the three first quarters of this year. Such growth blew past what many pessimists were expecting when inflation was topping 9% in the summer of 2022. The fear was that the medicine prescribed by the Fed to beat high inflation — high interest rates — would create a recession. Households at the lower end of the income spectrum in particular are feeling pain now, as they contend with still-high prices. But the overall economy has remained remarkably resilient. 20.1% This is the vacancy rate for U.S. office buildings — an all-time high — through the first three quarters of 2024, according to data from Moody's. The fact the rate held steady for most of the year was something of a win for office building owners, given that it had marched up steadily from 16.8% in the fourth quarter of 2019. Demand for office space weakened as the pandemic led to the popularization of remote work. 3.73 million That's the total number of previously occupied homes sold nationally through the first 11 months of 2024. Sales would have to surge 20% year-over-year in December for 2024's home sales to match the 4.09 million existing homes sold in 2023, a nearly 30-year low. The U.S. housing market has been in a sales slump dating back to 2022, when mortgage rates began to climb from pandemic-era lows. A shortage of homes for sale and elevated mortgage rates have discouraged many would-be homebuyers.New York to charge fossil fuel companies for damage from climate changeI'm A Celebrity fans demand action after repeated name mistakes on ITV show

Pittsburgh quarterback Eli Holstein was carted off the field with 5:32 left in the first quarter with an apparent left ankle injury during Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference game against host Louisville. The freshman was sacked at the Panthers' 49-yard line by Louisville's Ashton Gillotte, who rolled on the quarterback's ankle. Holstein was in a walking boot as he was helped to the cart. Holstein missed last week's game against Clemson after suffering a head injury in the loss to Virginia two weeks ago. Holstein was 3-for-5 passing for 51 yards and an interception before exiting. Nate Yarnell, who threw for 350 yards in the loss to Clemson, replaced Holstein. --Field Level MediaAtria Investments Inc Sells 10,061 Shares of First Trust Senior Loan ETF (NASDAQ:FTSL)365 Retail Markets Strengthens Leadership Team with Key Hires
