Class Action against Exro Technologies Inc.
Court of King’s Bench of Alberta
Commencement Date: November 27, 2024
Summary
JSS Barristers and KND Complex Litigation are Counsel to the plaintiff in this proposed securities class action. The action has been brought against Exro Technologies Inc. (“Exro Technologies”), certain of its directors and officers and certain financial institutions that underwrote Exro Technologies’ public offerings of its securities carried out in January and September 2024.
The action arises out of a merger transaction between Exro Technologies and SEA Electric. The transaction was announced on January 30, 2024, and it was completed on or about April 5, 2024. In connection with this transaction, Exro Technologies represented that the combined entity had a “strong order book,” and would achieve over $200 million in revenue in 2024.
On November 13, 2024, Exro Technologies reported its results for the third quarter of 2024, that it would at best achieve a revenue of $28 million in 2024. It also announced that it was recording a loss of $225.95 million, inclusive of impairment expenses of $211 million in relation to the write-down of goodwill and intangible assets in relation to SEA Electric division of its business.
The claim alleges that the defendants falsely represented that the combined company would have a “strong order book”, and would achieve a revenue of over $200 million in 2024. The claim further alleges that a “strong order book” did not exist, or it was legally unenforceable and/or non-binding.
