The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas on behalf of all those who purchased Exela securities between March 16, 2018 and March 16, 2020 (the “Class Period”). The case, Bo Shen v. Exela Technologies, Inc., No. 20-cv-00691, was filed on March 23, 2020.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) Exela’s previously issued financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, and the quarterly statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 contained numerous accounting errors, could not be relied upon, and required restatement; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ statements about Exela’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
Specifically, on March 16, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing that it would be postponing its earnings and conference call due to a delayed filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year 2019.
On this news, Exela’s stock fell from a closing price of $0.1854 per share on March 16, 2020 to $0.1700 per share on March 17, 2020—a $0.0154 or 8.31% drop.
The next day, Exela issued a press release containing an update regarding their delayed filing. The Company disclosed that, in addition to not being able to timely file their Form 10-K, the Company revealed more information about the need to restate its financial statements for fiscal years 2017 and 2018, and its interim 2019 statements.
On this news, Exela’s stock fell from a closing price of $0.1700 per share on March 17, 2020 to $0.1450 per share on March 18, 2020—a $0.025 or 14.71% drop.
