What is this Case About: Iris Energy Limited (IREN) Issued a Materially False and Misleading Registration Statement in Support of its IPO

According to the complaint, Iris conducted its IPO on November 17, 2021, issuing approximately 8.27 million shares at $28.00 per share. However, the Offering Documents in support of the IPO were misleading. Specifically, the Offering Documents failed to disclose that certain of Iris’s Bitcoin miners, owned through wholly-owned special purpose vehicles, were unlikely to produce sufficient cash flow to service their respective debt financing obligations. Accordingly, Iris’s use of equipment financing agreements to procure Bitcoin miners was not as sustainable as defendants had represented and was likely to have a material negative impact on the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition.

On November 2, 2022, Iris issued a press release disclosing, among other things, that “[c]ertain equipment (i.e., Bitcoin miners) owned by [Non-Recourse SPV 2 and Non-Recourse SPV 3] currently produce insufficient cash flow to service their respective debt financing obligations, and have a current market value well below the principal amount of the relevant loans” and that “[r]estructuring discussions with the lender remain ongoing.” On this news, Iris’s ordinary share price fell $0.51 per share, or 15.04%, to close at $2.88 per share on November 2, 2022—a nearly 90% decline from the IPO price.
