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 Tilray securities between January 15, 2019 and March 2, 2020 (the "Class Period"). The case, Ganovsky v. Tilray, Inc. et al, No. 20-cv-01240 was filed on March 6, 2020.
The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the purported advantages of the Authentic Brands Group ("ABG") Agreement were significantly overstated; (2) the underperformance of the ABG Agreement would foreseeably have a significant impact on the Company's financial results; and (3) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
Specifically, on March 2, 2020, Tilray issued a press release announcing the Company's financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2019. Among other results, Tilray reported a net loss for the year of $321.2 million, or $3.20 per share, compared to $67.7 million, or $0.82 per share, for 2018. In addition, Tilray disclosed that "the Company recorded non-cash charges of $112.1 million related to impairment of the Authentic Brands Group LLC ('ABG') agreement as well as $68.6 million in inventory reserves."
On this news, Tilray's stock fell from a closing price of $15.35 per share on March 2, 2020 to close at $13.02 per share on March 3, 2020-a $2.33 or 15.18% drop.

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.
