Deadline Reminder: Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Iris Energy Limited (IREN)

Business Wire 22-Oct-2024 7:46 PM

Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming December 6, 2024 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Iris Energy Limited ("Iris Energy" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:IREN) securities between June 20, 2023 and July 11, 2024, inclusive (the "Class Period").

Investors suffering losses on their Iris Energy investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at (215) 638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.

On July 11, 2024, Culper Research published a report alleging, among other things, that Iris Energy "talks a big game of its [high performance computing ("HPC")] plans but ultimately seems entirely disinterested in actually doing what it takes to compete in the space," and that the Company "is a painfully transparent stock promotion that will unravel as investors realize [its] HPC claims are nonsense and [it] remains a cash guzzling machine." The report further states that the Company's facilities were built for BTC mining and "are ill-equipped for HPC workloads without billions in additional costs."

On this news, Iris Energy's stock price fell $1.70, or 13.2%, to close at $11.20 per share on July 11, 2024, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Defendants overstated Iris Energy's prospects with data centers and high performance computing, in large part as a result of material deficiencies in Iris Energy's Childress County, Texas site; and (2) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Iris Energy securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than December 6, 2024 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action. If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.
