Allegations Against Eco Science
Eco Science Solutions is a technology-focused company that provides solutions for the health and wellness industry.
The complaint alleges that defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company’s plan for strategic acquisitions lacked veracity; and (2) as a result, Defendants’ statements about the Company’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
On May 1, 2017, the Company filed a Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2017 with the SEC announcing that strategic acquisitions were part of its growth plan.
On May 5, 2017, the Company announced the proposed acquisition of Ga-Du Bank, in relevant part:
Additionally, the Bank’s principals have engaged with prospects in the marketplace whom have made expressions of interest, along with preliminary commitments to deposit sums between Three-Hundred and Six-Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000 and $600,000,000). These amounts are currently being projected to be deposited within the first sixty to one-hundred-eighty days following the acquisition of the Bank by ESSI.
On May 22, 2017, the SEC temporarily halted trading in the Company’s securities, stating in relevant part:
The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of ESSI because of concerns regarding the accuracy and adequacy of publicly disseminated information concerning, among other things, ESSI’s proposed acquisition of GaDu Bank, Inc.
To date, trading the Company’s securities remains halted, rending the Company’s securities illiquid and virtually worthless.
