California-based attorney Ryan Stygar, known as “The Labor Lawyer,” is actively promoting a guide to workers’ rights, offering it to those who request it by sending the word “BOOK,” according to a recent post on his Instagram account.

Stygar, who operates Attorney Ryan Law, previously worked as a firefighter for four years in California before transitioning to a legal career focused on employment and labor issues. His practice centers on representing employees and small businesses, with a particular emphasis on educating clients about their legal rights, as detailed on his firm’s website.

The attorney’s focus on workers’ rights aligns with a growing awareness of employment law in California. Ryan Malhan, an employment litigator at Farella Braun + Martel, recently addressed the implications of California’s “Workplace Know Your Rights Act” (SB 294), which mandates employer action regarding employee rights. Similarly, Ryan Derry of Paul Hastings LLP has presented on topics including the California Family Rights Act and the California Consumer Privacy Act, demonstrating a broader legal community engagement with evolving labor regulations.

Derry, a partner at Paul Hastings, specializes in employment litigation and counseling, representing employers in a range of industries including retail, transportation, finance, healthcare, and technology. He has successfully defended clients in trials and arbitrations involving claims of retaliation, discrimination, and wage and hour violations. He has too handled matters before the National Labor Relations Board and managed investigations with the U.S. Department of Labor.

Stygar’s promotion of his workers’ rights guide comes as California continues to be a focal point for employment law developments. The state’s complex labor code and evolving legislation necessitate ongoing education for both employers and employees, a need that attorneys like Stygar and Derry are addressing through their respective practices, and presentations.

Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) has again adjusted the distribution date for its planned dividend of warrants to purchase common stock and a separate dividend of Dream Bowl Meme Coin II tokens, according to a press release issued Wednesday. The new distribution date is February 27, 2026, a shift from previous announcements of February 23, 2026, for the warrants and February 21, 2026, for the tokens.

The company initially announced the warrant distribution on January 7, 2026, setting that date as the record date for eligible shareholders. The record date remains unchanged. Datavault AI stated that its board of directors retains the right to modify the distribution date or even revoke the dividends entirely prior to February 27, 2026, based on ongoing solvency and surplus analyses.

The warrant distribution will provide one warrant for every 60 shares of Datavault AI common stock held by record holders. Each warrant is exercisable at a price of $5.00 per share, but requires holders to also possess one Dream Bowl Meme Coin II token within a Datavault AI digital wallet to complete the exercise. The warrants are set to expire one year after the distribution date, and are subject to transfer restrictions.

Datavault AI, which describes itself as a provider of data monetization, credentialing, and Web 3.0 technologies, has experienced volatility in its stock price following the initial announcements regarding the dividends. StockTitan reported a 5.53% decline in DVLT shares on the day the initial warrant distribution date change was published, with a peak positive movement of 15.8% during the session. This price fluctuation resulted in an approximate $30 million decrease in the company’s market capitalization, bringing it to $511 million.

The company intends to file a prospectus supplement to its existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), detailing the terms of the warrant distribution. The initial prospectus was declared effective by the SEC on July 9, 2025. Datavault AI encourages record holders to review the prospectus carefully when it becomes available on the SEC’s website.

Datavault AI’s business encompasses both Acoustic Science and Data Science divisions. The Acoustic Science division includes patented technologies like WiSA, ADIO, and Sumerian for wireless HD sound, while the Data Science division focuses on AI-driven data valuation and monetization. The company’s Information Data Exchange (IDE) platform facilitates Digital Twins and secure NIL licensing.
