The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Aurora’s revenue would decline in its first quarter of fiscal 2020 ended September 30, 2019; (2) the Company would halt construction on its Aurora Nordic 2 and Aurora Sun facilities; and (3) due to the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Aurora’s receivables, business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On November 14, 2019, Aurora announced its first quarter of fiscal 2020 ended September 30, 2019, First Quarter 2020 Results (“Q1 2020 Results”) & Corporate Action Plan. As opposed to statements made and released by Defendants during and after its first fiscal quarter 2020, Q1 2020 Results showed a CA$23.8 million, or a 25%, sequential decline of sales, well below analyst estimates. In particular, Aurora’s consumer cannabis revenue fell by 33% sequentially. That same day, Aurora announced an early conversion window for CA$230 million in convertible debt.

On this news, shares of Aurora fell $0.56 per share or over 17% to close at $2.73 per share on November 15, 2019, damaging investors.
