The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York on
behalf of all those who purchased India Globalization securities between October 25, 2017 and
October 28, 2018 (the "Class Period"). The case, Samn v. India Globalization Technology et
al, No. 18-cv-06199 was filed on November 2, 2018.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that:
(1) India Globalization's business model was in a state of change in order to lure potential blockchain and cannabis investors;
(2) India Globalization had overstated the benefits of its relationships with manufacturers, partners, and distributors in order
to inflate the Company's potential commercial success in the blockchain and cannabis markets; (3) as a result, the New York Stock
Exchange ("NYSE") delisted India Globalization's shares from their exchange; and (4) consequently, Defendants' statements about
India Globalization's business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at
all relevant times.
Specifically, on October 4, 2018, MarketWatch published an article which detailed the
suspicious nature of India Globalization's public statements regarding the Company's cannabis-infused energy drink business
initiatives, its ability to utilize a Malaysian manufacturer to transition into producing cannabis-infused energy drinks, and its
partnerships with both Dama Pharma and a German distributor.
On this news, the Company's stock price fell from $6.41 per share on October 4, 2018 to $4.05 per share on October 5,
2018—a $2.36 or 36.72% drop.
Then, on October 29, 2018, the NYSE announced that the delisting process would commence for
India Globalization's stock traded on its exchange. The delisting process was initiated at least in part because the NYSE found
that the Company had "substantially discontinued the business that it conducted at the time it was listed or admitted to
trading."
On this news, share of India Globalization were halted.
On the next day, October 30, 2018, shares of India Globalization began trading under the ticker
symbol "IGCC." The stock price fell from $2.49 per share on October 26,
2018 to $0.56 per share on October 30, 2018—a $1.93 or 77.5% drop.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who
is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of
the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and
remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff
or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding India Globalization's conduct to contact the firm,
including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
