What is this Case About: Missfresh Limited (MF) Provided False Financial Figures in its Registration Statement in Support of its IPO
According to the complaint, defendants held the Company's IPO in June 2021, offering shares to the investing public at $13.00 per ADS.
On April 29, 2022, Missfresh filed with the SEC a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25, which announced that it would be unable to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 by the prescribed filing deadline of April 30, 2022. Additionally, an independent Audit Committee of the Company's board of directors is conducting an internal review, including matters relating to transactions between the Company and certain third-party enterprises. On this news, Missfresh ADSs fell 23% to close at $0.448 per ADS on May 2, 2022.
Then, on May 24, 2022, Missfresh announced it had received a notification letter dated May 19, 2022, from the Listing Qualifications of NASDAQ indicating the Company is not in compliance with listing requirements. On this news, Missfresh ADSs fell 9% over two trading days, to close at $0.167 per ADS on May 26, 2022.
On July 1, 2022, Missfresh revealed it had substantially completed its review and "[a]s a result, certain revenue associated with these reporting periods in 2021 may have been inaccurately recorded in the Company's financial statements." The employees responsible for the questionable transactions were notified and given notices of resignation.
As of July 6, 2022, Missfresh’s ADSs closed at $0.3075, representing a 97% decline from the IPO price.
