New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 15, 2024) - The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP notifies investors of the approaching November 26, 2024 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action filed on behalf of those who acquired Terran Orbital Corporation ("Terran" or the "Company") (NYSE: LLAP) securities during the period of August 15, 2023 through August 14, 2024, inclusive ("the Class Period").

On March 1, 2024, Lockheed made a non-binding offer to acquire all of Terran's outstanding common stock for $1.00 per share in cash (the "Initial Buyout Offer"). On May 2, 2024, Lockheed disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") that, "[o]n April 30, 2024, [it] notified [Terran] that it was withdrawing the [Initial Buyout Offer]." On this news, the price of Terran shares declined by $0.22 per share, or approximately 17.05%, from $1.29 on May 2, 2024, to close at $1.07 per share on May 3, 2024.
On August 12, 2024, Terran filed its quarterly report for the second quarter of 2024 with the SEC, revealing that the Company had only $14.6 million in cash and debt of approximately $300 million as of June 30, 2024, as well as that it had removed the Rivada Contract from its backlog, thereby reducing the Company's total backlog by over 88% from $2.7 billion to a mere $312.7 million as of June 30, 2024. On this news, the price of Terran shares declined by $0.06 per share, or approximately 8.45%, to close at $0.65 per share on August 12, 2024.
Then, on August 15, 2024, Terran and Lockheed issued a joint press release announcing that they had entered into a definitive agreement whereby Lockheed would acquire Terran for $0.25 per share in cash. The sale price was well below the (i) $0.40 per share price at which the Company's stock had closed the day prior, and (ii) the $1.00 per share price that Lockheed had offered in its Initial Buyout Offer. On this news, Terran's stock price fell by $0.157 per share, or approximately 39.3%, to close at $0.243 per share on August 15, 2024.
The lawsuit alleges that Terran made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) it would take much longer than the Company had represented for it to convert its contracts with its customers (collectively, "Customer Contracts") into revenue and free cash flow; (ii) Terran did not have adequate liquidity to operate its business while waiting for the Customer Contracts to generate revenue and free cash flow; and (iii) Terran had concealed the scope and severity of its dire financial situation.
