("AgEagle" or the "Company") (NYSE: UAVS) from September 3, 2019, through February 18, 2021 (the "Class Period").

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose to investors: (1) AgEagle did not have a partnership with Amazon and in fact never had any relationship with Amazon; (2) rather than correct the public's understanding about a partnership with Amazon, defendants were actively contributing to the rumor that AgEagle had a partnership with Amazon; and (3) as a result, defendants statements about AgEagles business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On February 18, 2021, Bonitas Research published a report revealing that AgEagle "was a pump & dump scheme orchestrated by… AgEagle founder and former chairman Bret Chilcott and other UAVS insiders to defraud US investors." On this news, shares of AgEagle, fell $5.13, or 36.4%, to close at $8.96 on February 18, 2021.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 27, 2021. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as lead plaintiff. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent class member.
