Kirby McInerney LLP Announces the Filing of a Securities Class Action Lawsuit Against Oatly Group AB
NEW YORK, July 27, 2021 – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Law firm Kirby McInerney LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of the acquirers of Oatly Group AB (“Oatly “or the” Company “) (NASDAQ: OTLY) American Depository Shares (” ADSs “) during the period between May 20, 2021 and July 15, 2021 (the” Class Period “). Investors have until September 24, 2021 to apply to the court for appointment as the lead plaintiff in the proceedings.
Oatly is the world’s largest and most original oat milk company. It is organized under Swedish law and held its IPO in the USA in May 2021.
On July 14, 2021, the short seller Spruce Point Capital Management released a report entitled “Sour on an Oat-lier Investment”. The 124-page report alleged a wide range of misconduct and misrepresentation by Oatly, including that it wrongly overstated its sales, gross margin, accounting and investment metrics; the protected nature of its production process and formula; and its history of growth in China, among others. A number of news outlets covered the Spruce Point Report in the days that followed. According to this news, the price of Oatly ADSs fell $ 0.59 per ADS, or about 2.8% from $ 21.13 per ADS, and closed at $ 20.54 per ADS on July 14, 2021.
The lawsuit alleges that Oatly and the other defendants made materially false and / or misleading information to investors during the class action period. Specifically, the lawsuit alleged that Oatly: (a) inflated its gross margins, revenue and financial metrics too much; (b) has overestimated the proprietary nature of its formulas and manufacturing process; (c) exaggerated its success in China; and (d) as a result of the foregoing, Oatly’s statements about its business, dealings and prospects during the class action period were misleading.
