Electric Last Mile Solutions, Inc. (ELMS) Securities Class Action:
The complaint alleges defendants made false and misleading statements or failed to disclose: (1) ELMS's earlier reported financial statements were false; (2) the company's financial statements required restatement; (3) certain ELMS executives or directors purchased ELMS securities at substantial market discounts without first obtaining independent valuations; and, (4) the company's board had formed a special committee on Nov. 25, 2021, to investigate the purchases.
On Feb. 1, 2022, Electric Last Mile announced the formation of the special committee on Nov. 25, 2021, and that: (1) previously issued financial statements as of Dec. 31, 2020 and the period from Aug. 20, 2020 (inception) through Dec. 31, 2020 should be restated and no longer relied on; (2) its financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2021 should no longer be relied on; (3) equity issuances to co-founder Jaxon Luo and CEO James Taylor were at significant discounts and the related accounting treatment is still under evaluation; and, (4) Luo and Taylor resigned effective immediately. The special committee noted Luo's and Taylor's responses to the committee are believed to be inconsistent with documents it and counsel reviewed.
These revelations drove the price of ELMS crashing over 50% lower on Feb. 2, 2022, to close at just $2.71 per share.
"We're focused on investors' losses and proving the company, its senior management, and/or others lied about Electric Last Mile's financial condition," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
