(CN) – A cross-border securities class action against Canadian cannabis company HEXO Corp. alleges the company inflated revenue figures, misstated inventory, and grew cannabis in an unlicensed facility leading to hundreds of millions of dollars in market capitalization loss.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for Southern New York on behalf of investors who purchased HEXO stock between Jan. 25, 2019 and Nov. 15, 2019. HEXO, based in Quebec, Canada, produces, markets and sells cannabis for recreational and medical use. The company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and on July 16, 2019 began trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
