HAGENS BERMAN, NATIONAL TRIAL ATTORNEYS, Urges Investors With $500k+ Losses To Contact The Firm: Application Deadline Approaching

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 31, 2019 / Hagens Berman urges Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB) investors who have suffered losses in excess of $500,000 to submit their losses now to learn if they qualify to recover compensable damages.

Aurora Cannabis (ACB) Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Defendants misled investors about Aurora Cannabis' business and prospects.

More specifically, according to the complaint, Defendants misleadingly and repeatedly touted the Company's continuing revenue ramp quarter-to-quarter. In addition, as recently as Oct. 3, 2019, the Company provided investors a construction update on its operations and growth initiatives, including on its Aurora Sun and Aurora Nordic 2 projects, touting that Aurora continues to progress construction of the "Sky Class" facilities.

But on Nov. 14, 2019, Aurora Cannabis shocked investors when it announced wider than expected losses and that revenue had declined by 24% quarter over quarter. In addition, the cash-strapped Company disclosed it would be halting construction immediately at its Aurora Nordic 2 and Aurora Sun facilities.

MarketWatch reported, "[a]nalysts said that investors had a reason for anger and distrust." An analyst at Jeffries reportedly noted, "With possible cash pressures evident, announcing ceased construction at facilities despite a press release just 6 weeks ago praising progression, and now EBITDA (and cash) positive looking unlikely this year, it would be fair for investors not to believe them."

This news sent the price of Aurora Cannabis shares plummeting about 17% on November 15, 2019, the largest single-day percentage decline for Aurora shares in more than five years and the lowest closing price since October 2017.

Most recently, on Dec. 21, 2019, Defendants announced that Cam Battley stepped down as Chief Corporate Officer effective December 20, 2019. This news sent the price of Aurora Cannabis shares plummeting over 10% on Dec. 23, 2019.

"We're focused on recovering investors' losses and whether Aurora Cannabis misled investors about its operations and growth initiatives," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding Aurora Cannabis should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

According to the filed complaint, (a) Baozun was heavily reliant upon a single brand partner, Huawei, for the exponential service fee growth it had been reporting historically, which was in turn fueling its historical revenue growth; (b) compared to other brands Baozun had as brand partners, the Huawei work had historically included a lot of additional add-on service fees, increasing the revenue reported from Huawei vis-a-via its other brand partners; (c) Huawei, like other large brands, was actively preparing to bring its online merchandising in-house, meaning Baozun knew that it was losing a significant brand partner; and (d) as a result of the foregoing, the Company was not on track to achieve the financial results and performance Defendants claimed the Company was on track to achieve during the class period.

Under Armour (UA) Securities Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Defendants misled investors by engaging in fraudulent accounting.

According to the complaint, Under Armour improperly shifted sales from quarter to quarter to appear healthier, including to keep pace with its long-running year-over-year 20% net revenue growth. In addition, Defendants concealed the U.S. Department of Justice's and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's investigations of Under Armour's accounting.

On Nov. 3, 2019, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission were investigating Under Armour to determine whether the company "shifted sales from quarter to quarter to appear healthier." On this news, the price of Under Armour shares fell sharply.

On Nov. 14, 2019, The Wall Street Journal reported (1) former Under Armour executives "said they scrambled to meet aggressive sales targets, borrowing business from future quarters to mask slowing demand in 2016," (2) the company "frequently leaned on retailers to take products early and redirected goods intended for its factory stores to off-price chains to book sales in the final days of a quarter," and (3) Federal investigators "are examining emails that show Under Armour's founder and chief executive, Kevin Plank, knew about efforts to move revenue between quarters, according to a person familiar with the matter."

If you invested in Under Armour between Aug. 3, 2016 and Nov. 1, 2019 (the "Class Period") and suffered significant losses, you may qualify to be a lead plaintiff – one who selects and oversees the attorneys prosecuting the case. Contact Hagens Berman immediately for more information about the case and being a lead plaintiff.

A director of the Company has subscribed to this Offering therefor related party considerations pursuant to Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") apply. The Company has relied on Section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation requirement and Section 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the subject matter, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction insofar as the transaction involved interested parties exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

About EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies

EHT delivers proprietary, turn-key energy solutions which are intelligent, bankable and sustainable. EHT's expertise includes the development of its ENERTEC module structures with full integration of smart energy solutions. Using a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger than traditional wood or steel structural insulated panels, EHT provides exceptional thermal energy efficiency in modular homes, cold storage facilities, residential/commercial out buildings and emergency/temporary shelters. EHT works with its partners worldwide to erect the buildings on-site utilizing EHT staff and local crews. In addition to traditional support to established electrical networks, ENERTEC buildings excel where no electrical grid exists.

About ENERTEC

The EHT advanced ENERTEC Modular Wall and Roof System uses a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger and more energy efficient than traditional wood or steel structures providing the highest ratings for energy efficiency. EHT works with its partners worldwide to erect the buildings on-site utilizing EHT staff and local crews. After installation, each structure can be furnished and finished to meet the customer's requirements including siding, tile, kitchens and bathrooms or segregated commercial rooms. The finished wall product can be shipped on pallets and delivered via rail, truck or water in standard formats.

At the core of the ENERTEC product line is the ENERTEC Embedded Solar Roof Module. Solar cells are embedded in a proprietary fire proof skin resulting in substantial cost savings by eliminating heavy glass panels and aluminum racking required for traditional solar panels. Two barriers to greater adoption of solar energy are weight limitations of the roof on which solar panels could be deployed and onerous shipping and labour costs. A lighter product at a better price point will open a larger market for solar due to the faster return of capital investment especially for rural and remote users looking to go off-grid. Furthermore, the entire EHT embedded solar roof becomes a massive solar panel capable of producing significantly more energy than the home requires, allowing the structure to then become an important source of power for the local micro grid or large battery storage systems.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

The statements herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information involves risk, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects, and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including risks related to the completion of all approvals from applicable regulatory authorities.

Bloom Energy Corporation (BE) Securities Class Action:

The complaint alleges that Defendants misrepresented and concealed that: (1) Bloom's technology produced emissions comparable to that of a modern natural gas plant, (2) Bloom's estimates of useful life for its energy servers and fuel cells were inaccurate, and (3) Bloom used misleading accounting to hide the true effect of future servicing expenses.

On Sept. 17, 2019, the market learned the truth when Hindenburg Research published a scathing report about Bloom Energy, stating that it uncovered billions in servicing liabilities and called the company an "obvious bankruptcy candidate." Hindenburg claimed that Bloom's technology is "not sustainable, clean, green or remotely profitable." Hindenburg also accused the Company of having an estimated $2.2 billion in undisclosed servicing liabilities and using "tricky accounting…to avoid recognizing major recent additional losses." The company "will become yet another tombstone in the Silicon Valley cemetery of dead unicorns," Hindenburg said. In response, the price of Bloom Energy shares fell sharply that day.

If you invested in Bloom Energy Corporation between July 22, 2018 and Sept. 16, 2019 (the "Class Period") and suffered significant losses, you may qualify to be a lead plaintiff – one who selects and oversees the attorneys prosecuting the case. Contact Hagens Berman immediately for more information about the case and being a lead plaintiff.

"We're focused on recovering investors' substantial losses and holding BE and its senior management accountable for their alleged accounting fraud," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
