Iris touts itself as a leading owner and operator of institutional-grade, highly efficient, proprietary

Bitcoin

mining data centers powered by 100% renewable energy.

Iris’s

Bitcoin

mining operations purportedly generate revenue by earning

Bitcoin

through a combination of block rewards and transaction fees from the operation of specialized computing equipment called “miners” or ”

Bitcoin

miners” and exchanging these

Bitcoin

for fiat currencies such as U.S. dollars or Canadian dollars on a daily basis.

Iris has three wholly-owned special purpose vehicles, referred to as “Non-Recourse SPV 1”, “Non-Recourse SPV 2”, and “Non-Recourse SPV 3” (collectively, the “Non-Recourse SPVs”), each of which was incorporated for the specific purpose of financing certain of the

Bitcoin

miners operated by the Company.

On

October 25, 2021

, Iris filed a registration statement on Form F-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the IPO, which, after several amendments, was declared effective by the SEC on

November 16, 2021

(the “Registration Statement”).

On or about

November 17, 2021

, Iris conducted the IPO, issuing approximately 8.27 million of its ordinary shares to the public at the Offering price of

$28

per ordinary share for approximate proceeds to the Company of

$215 million

, before expenses, and after applicable underwriting discounts and commissions.

On

November 18, 2021

, Iris filed a prospectus on Form 424B4 with the SEC in connection with the IPO, which incorporated and formed part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus” and, together with the Registration Statement, the “Offering Documents”).

The Complaint alleges that the Offering Documents were negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements of material fact or omitted to state other facts necessary to make the statements made not misleading and were not prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations governing their preparation. Additionally, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the Offering Documents and Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) certain of Iris’s

Bitcoin

miners, owned through its Non-Recourse SPVs, were unlikely to produce sufficient cash flow to service their respective debt financing obligations; (ii) accordingly, Iris’s use of equipment financing agreements to procure

Bitcoin

miners was not as sustainable as Defendants had represented; (iii) the foregoing was likely to have a material negative impact on the Company’s business, operations, and financial condition; and (iv) as a result, the Offering Documents and Defendants’ public statements throughout the Class Period were materially false and/or misleading and failed to state information required to be stated therein.

On

November 2, 2022

, Iris issued a press release disclosing, among other things, that “[c]ertain equipment (i.e.,

Bitcoin

miners) owned by [Non-Recourse SPV 2 and Non-Recourse SPV 3] currently produce insufficient cash flow to service their respective debt financing obligations and have a current market value well below the principal amount of the relevant loans” and that “[r]estructuring discussions with the lender remain ongoing.”

On this news, Iris’s ordinary share price fell

$0.51

per share, or 15.04%, to close at

$2.88

per share on

November 2

, 2022—a nearly 90% decline from the Offering price.

As of the time the Complaint was filed, Iris’s ordinary shares continue to trade significantly below the

$28

per share Offering price, damaging investors.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Iris Energy’s conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
