ELECTRIC LAST MILE’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT

Electric Last Mile is a commercial electric vehicle solutions company that focuses on designing, engineering, manufacturing, and customizing electric delivery and utility vehicles.

On February 1, 2022, after regular market trading hours, Electric Last Mile revealed that its previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon as the company would be restating its previously issued financial statements from August 20, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020, including statements in Electric Last Mile’s registration statement. Electric Last Mile also announced the resignations of defendants James Taylor and Jason Luo, the company’s co-founders and CEO and Executive Chairman, respectively. In addressing their resignations, Electric Last Mile revealed that following an investigation by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors into “certain sales of equity securities” made by and to individuals associated with the company, Electric Last Mile determined that in November and December 2020, certain executives purchased equity in the company “at substantial discounts to market value” without any independent valuation.

Following this news, Electric Last Mile’s share price fell $2.88 per share, or 51%, to close at $2.71 per share on February 2, 2022.
