Event Summary

TI Fluid Systems, formerly Net Element, is facing a class action lawsuit filed by Rosen Law Firm and investigated by Faruqi & Faruqi. The lawsuit alleges that TI Fluid Systems and its CEO, David Michery, made false and misleading statements to investors between February 3, 2023, and March 13, 2024. The accusations include misrepresenting the intent of a reverse stock split, overstating deals with partners like Rapid Response Defense Systems and Mullen Advanced Energy Operations, LLC, and exaggerating battery technology capabilities and partnerships, particularly those involving Lawrence Hardge. Furthermore, TI Fluid Systems is accused of failing to disclose Lawrence Hardge's past financial crime convictions and material information about its financing agreements. These alleged misrepresentations led to a 96% decline in TI Fluid Systems's stock price, causing substantial damages to investors. The deadline for investors to seek the role of lead plaintiff in the federal securities class action is April 14, 2025.
