What is this all about?
On February 3, 2022, Bonitas Research issued a short report alleging “an abusive transfer price manipulation scheme” between MP Materials Corp., the owner and operator of the Mountain Pass mine in California, and Shenghe Resources Holdings Co., Ltd., a publicly traded Chinese state-owned refiner and producer of rare earth metals. Shenghe is a related party, and one of the investors that collectively purchased the Mountain Pass mine out of bankruptcy in 2017.
The Bonitas report alleges that since Q2 2021, Shenghe overpaid MP Materials for concentrates to artificially inflate MP Materials’ profits, which coincided with the expiration of MP Materials’ SPAC insider lockup period, and allowed MP insiders to sell shares at artificially high prices.
MP Materials Corp. went public via de-SPAC transaction in November of 2020.
Shares of MP Materials Corp. stock dropped more than 8% in premarket trading on February 3, 2022.
Who is eligible?
Anyone who purchased MP Materials Corp. stock between May 1, 2020 and February 2, 2022 is eligible, whether or not they have sold their investment. Investors should contact Block & Leviton to learn more.
