Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) on Friday shared a new update on the company’s notice of delisting.
On October 3, 2023, the Company received an additional written notice from the Staff indicating that the Staff had concluded that the Company did not hold an annual meeting in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, that met the Nasdaq annual meeting standard.
While the Company held an annual meeting on August 3, 2023 and the proposals that were approved at the meeting including the election of directors are, and remain, valid, the Staff determined that such meeting did not satisfy the Annual Meeting Rule since the Company did not afford stockholders the opportunity to discuss Company affairs with management at the meeting as required under Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5620.
The Company will present its plan to demonstrate compliance with the Annual Meeting Rule at the previously scheduled Bid Price Rule hearing and the Panel will consider this matter in their decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
CEO David Michery said in September that the company’s balance sheet is strong in a new update to shareholders.
MULN stock is up more than +12% in the past month but down more than -99% this year-to-date.
“I am very disappointed by the performance of our stock.
As I have previously publicly stated, I do not believe the trading price of our stock even closely resembles the Company’s actual value.
It is evident that, regardless of meeting significant corporate milestones, stock traders continue to place downward pressure on the stock, causing the price to fall.
I previously announced that the Company engaged Share Intel and other parties to investigate what I suspect to be unlawful trading practices in our stock,” the CEO said in August.
Mullen Files A New Lawsuit Against TD Ameritrade and Others
In August, Mullen Automotive announced that it had filed a new lawsuit against TD Ameritrade and other large stock brokerage firms.
The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, in the Southern District of New York, against TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, National Finance Services and others alleging that these broker-dealers engaged in a scheme to manipulate the share price of the Company’s securities.
This lawsuit seeks compensatory damages and injunctive relief from Defendants arising from their unlawful conduct in violation of Section 10b and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
“MULN is one of the largest traded stocks on the NASDAQ, and it has seen a precipitous decline in value despite announcements highlighting many Company successes.
I have been extremely frustrated by the performance of our stock and long-suspected illegal short-selling activities.
That is why we engaged Share Intel and the law firms of Christian Attar and Warshaw Burstein to investigate this matter further to protect the Company and its loyal shareholder base.
I am hopeful that this lawsuit sends a clear and unequivocal message to anyone considering any form of illegal trading of Mullen stock.
Our company has a zero-tolerance approach when it comes to manipulative trading practices.
We believe the Company and its shareholders have been significantly harmed by certain traders and their brokers and market makers, such as the named Defendants in the lawsuit, that have facilitated this unlawful conduct.
Rest assured, we will use all legal measures at our disposal to stop illegal trading activities and to protect the Company and its shareholders,” said Mullen CEO David Michery.
Mullen Automotive stock has been hammered by short sellers despite the company coming out with several positive developments all year, leading investors to believe something much more sinister could be at work here.
