On March 6, 2020, a class action lawsuit was filed against Tilray, Inc. and certain Tilray officers in United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, on behalf of a class consisting of all persons, other than Defendants, who purchased, or otherwise acquired, Tilray securities between January 15, 2019 and March 2, 2020, both dates inclusive, to recover damages caused by the Tilray Defendants’ alleged violations of the federal securities laws.
According to the class action complaint:
On January 15, 2019, Tilray issued a press release announcing entry into a marketing and revenue sharing agreement with Authentic Brands Group (‘ABG’), ‘an owner of a portfolio of global lifestyle and entertainment brands’ (the ‘ABG Agreement’).
Throughout the Class Period, [Tilray] Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the purported advantages of the ABG Agreement were significantly overstated; (ii) the underperformance of the ABG Agreement would foreseeably have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results; and (iii) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On March 2, 2020, Tilray issued a press release announcing the Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2019. Among other results, Tilray reported a net loss for the year of $321.2 million, or $3.20 per share, compared to $67.7 million, or $0.82 per share, for 2018. In addition, Tilray disclosed that ‘the Company recorded non-cash charges of $112.1 million related to impairment of the Authentic Brands Group LLC (‘ABG’) agreement as well as $68.6 million in inventory reserves.’

Cronos Group Inc. Class Action Lawsuit – CRON Investors Who Purchased, Or Otherwise Acquired, Cronos Group Seurities Between May 9, 2019 and March 2, 2020, Both Dates Inclusive, Encouraged To Contact Kehoe Law Firm, P.C.
Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is making investors aware that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Cronos Group Group Inc. (“Cronos” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: CRON) and certain Cronos officers on behalf of Cronos shareholders who purchased, or otherwise acquired, Cronos securities between May 9, 2019 and March 2, 2020 (the “Class Period”).
The class action seeks to recover damages against the Cronos Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The class action complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Cronos had engaged in significant transactions for which its revenue recognition was inappropriate; (2) the foregoing would foreseeably necessitate reviews that would delay the Company’s ability to timely file its periodic reports; and (3) as a result, the public statements of Cronos were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
According to the class action complaint:
On February 24, 2020, Cronos stated that it would delay its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2019 earnings release and conference call, previously scheduled for February 27, 2020.
On this news, Cronos’s share price fell $0.78 per share, or 10.91%, to close at $6.37 on February 24, 2020.
Then, on March 2, 2020, after the market closed, Cronos disclosed that it had requested a 15-day extension for filing a complete Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2019. Cronos attributed the delay to a ‘review by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of outside counsel and forensic accountants, of several bulk resin purchases and sales of products through the wholesale channel and the appropriateness of the recognition of revenue from those transactions.’
On this news, Cronos’s share price fell an additional $0.70 per share, or 11.63%, to close at $5.32 per share on March 3, 2020.
[Emphasis added.]

Lawsuit Alleges That February 2020 Slickwraps Data Security Incident Exposed PII of Approximately 858,000 Customers, Including Names, Physical Addresses, Phone Numbers, Purchase Histories, and Unique E-Mail Addresses
Kehoe Law Firm, P.C. is making consumers aware that on March 12, 2020, a class action lawsuit was filed against Slickwraps Inc., a company which “makes and sells an assortment of premade and custom cases (known as vinyl skins) for mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices,” in United States District Court, Eastern District of California.
According to the class action complaint,
[i]n February 2020, SLICKWRAPS suffered a data breach which resulted in the exposure of the personally identifiable information (‘PII’) of approximately 858,000 customers, including names, physical addresses, phone numbers purchase histories and unique email addresses . . ..
. . .
More accurately, SLICKWRAPS’ customers—who had placed their faith and trust in the company believing that it would, at the very least, utilize appropriate and necessary data security measures—suffered a wholly avoidable data breach where their PII was accessed even though SLICKWRAPS was previously informed that such access and potential exfiltration was possible. And, when called out on its woefully lax data security practices, SLICKWRAPS has done nothing but meekly apologize.
The class action lawsuit was, according to the complaint, brought ” . . . on behalf of those similarly situated to address SLICKWRAPS’ grossly inadequate safeguarding of Class Members’ PII that it collected and maintained, and for failing to provide timely and adequate notice to Plaintiff and other Class Members that their information had been subject to the unauthorized access of an unknown third party as well as a failure to be truthful and candid regarding precisely what specific types of information were accessed.” [Emphasis added.]
