On January 15, 2019, Tilray announced it had entered 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”).

The Tilray securities class action lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose adverse information regarding Tilray’s business and operations. Specifically, defendants 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 Tilray’s financial results; and (iii) as a result, Tilray’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

Then on March 2, 2020, Tilray issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2019. Tilray reported a net loss for the year of $321.2 million, or $(3.20) per share, compared to a net loss of $67.7 million, or $(0.82) per share, for 2018. In addition, Tilray disclosed that it had “recorded non-cash charges of $112.1 million related to impairment of the [ABG A]greement as well as $68.6 million in inventory reserves.” On this news, Tilray’s stock price fell $2.33 per share, or 15%, to close at $13.02 per share on March 3, 2020.
