The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company’s business, operations and prospects. As a result of defendants’ alleged false and misleading statements, the Company’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.

According to the Complaint, on February 24, 2020, Cronos made a partial, limited disclosure of problems with its financial reporting, announcing that “it will delay its 2019 fourth quarter and full-year earnings release and conference call, previously scheduled for Thursday, February 27, 2020. The Company has had a delay in the completion of its financial statements and will make a further announcement in a subsequent press release to schedule the date and time of the earnings conference call.”

On this news, the price of the Company’s stock fell from a close of $7.15 (USD) per share on February 21, 2020 to close at $6.37 (USD) per share on February 24, 2020, the next trading day and the day of the announcement.

Then, on March 2, 2020, Cronos issued a press release announcing that it had filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC, providing the Company a 15-day extension of the due date for filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”). On that same day, the Company also filed a Form 12b-25 with the SEC stating that it would file a Form 10-K with the SEC with fifteen days because “[t]he Company has been unable to complete its financial statements for fiscal 2019 due to a continuing review by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of outside counsel and forensic accountants, of several bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel and the appropriateness of the recognition of revenue from those transactions.”

On this news, shares of Cronos fell over 11%, closing at $5.32 (USD) per share on March 3, 2020, on heavy trading volume.
