Mynaric develops and manufactures laser communication products for aerospace-based communication networks for government and commercial markets in the United States and internationally. The Company's line of products includes, inter alia, its CONDOR series of optical inter-satellite link flight terminals for satellite-to-satellite communications in space.
In June 2024, Mynaric provided guidance for its fiscal full year ("FY") 2024 financial results, including, inter alia, revenue of between €50 to €70 million and an operating loss of between €40 to €30 million.
The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) lower-than-expected production yields and component supplier shortages of key components were causing production delays for Mynaric's CONDOR Mk3 product; (ii) the foregoing issues were likely to have a material negative impact on the Company's revenue growth and cause the Company to incur an operating loss; (iii) as a result, Mynaric was unlikely to meet its own previously issued financial guidance for FY 2024; (iv) accordingly, the Company's business and/or financial prospects were overstated; and (v) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On August 20, 2024, Mynaric issued a press release providing an update to its FY 2024 guidance, advising that "the company now expects full-year 2024 IFRS-15 revenue to range between EUR 16.0 million to EUR 24.0 million compared to previous guidance of a range between EUR 50.0 million to EUR 70.0 million", citing "production delays of CONDOR Mk3 caused by lower than expected production yields and component supplier shortages of key components"; and that "the company now expects full-year 2024 operating loss to range between a loss of EUR 55.0 million to EUR 50.0 million compared to previous guidance of a range between a loss of EUR 40.0 million to EUR 30.0 million", citing "the lower than expected revenue and higher than expected production costs due to lower yields."
In a separate press release issued that same day, Mynaric "announce[d] the voluntary departure of [the Company's Chief Financial Officer Defendant Stefan Berndt-von Bülow] for personal reasons, effective last week."
On this news, Mynaric's American Depository Share ("ADS") price fell $2.32 per ADS, or 55.9%, to close at $1.83 per ADS on August 20, 2024.
Then, on August 26, 2024, Mynaric announced that its "Supervisory Board . . . agreed to terminate in mutual consent the appointment of [the Company's Chief Executive Officer Defendant Mustafa Veziroglu] as chairman and member of the Management Board of Mynaric AG with immediate effect," and that "[w]ith a view to the latest changes in the Management Board," the annual general meeting of Mynaric would be postponed.
On this news, Mynaric's ADS price fell $0.11 per ADS, or $9.73%, to close at $1.02 per ADS on August 27, 2024.
Finally, on October 8, 2024, Mynaric announced that it had received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. notifying that Mynaric was "no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing criteria, including the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) due to its failure to maintain a minimum of $50 million in market value of listed securities[,]" and that "Mynaric does not meet the alternatives of total assets and total revenue for continued listing."
On this news, Mynaric's ADS price fell $0.07 per ADS, or 4.37%, to close at $1.53 per ADS on October 8, 2024.
