HEXO Corp. (HEXO) Investigation:
The investigation centers on whether HEXO misled investors about its business operations, reported financial results and financial guidance.
On Oct. 4, 2019, HEXO announced the abrupt and immediate resignation of its recently hired Chief Financial Officer.
Next, on Oct. 10, 2019, HEXO provided "preliminary" Q4 2019 revenue results that were nearly 50% lower than previous guidance and withdrew previously announced FY 2020 guidance of up to $400 million in revenue.
Then, on Oct. 24, 2019, the company announced that it would be raising C$70 million ($53.5 million) in convertible debentures through a private placement and that it was postponing its Q4 2019 earnings call.
Finally, on Oct. 28, 2019, HEXO announced that it will shut down several facilities near Niagara Falls, Ontario previously operated by Newstrike Brands, which HEXO acquired in the spring 2019. HEXO also announced that it will lay off 200 employees, almost a quarter of its entire workforce.
This news has caused HEXO stock to fall significantly, injuring HEXO investors.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether the Company provided false financial information to the market," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
