Meta Materials is a Nova Scotia-based developer of high-performance functional materials and nanocomposites for the aerospace, defense, automotive industries, as well as others. On June 28, 2021, the Company, then known as Torchlight Energy Resources, Inc., entered into a business combination with Metamaterial Inc.
According to a recently filed lawsuit, the Company and its insiders misled investors regarding the Meta Materials' performance and prospects, including in connection with the business combination between Metamaterial and Torchlight.
On November 15, 2021, the Company filed with the SEC its quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2021. This filing disclosed that Meta Materials had received a subpoena from the SEC relating to the merger between Torchlight and Metamaterial. On this news, Meta Materials' shares fell nearly 4% to close at $4.58 per share on November 16, 2021.
Then, on December 14, 2021, Kerrisdale Capital released a report charging that "Meta has habitually made outlandish and misleading claims about the feasibility, development, and commercial potential of various technologies only to repeatedly move the goalposts or retrospectively alter its claims, often just quietly dropping entire projects they had previously touted as pivotal." On this news, Meta Materials' shares fell 5.8% to close at $2.91 per share on December 14, 2021.
