About the Lawsuit

According to the class action complaint, "on August 15, 2022, after market hours, Polished notified investors that it would not timely file its 'quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 ("Second Quarter 10-Q") within the prescribed time period' because the Company required additional time to complete a newly announced investigation." According to Polished, "The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors ('Audit Committee') recently began an independent investigation regarding certain allegations made by certain former employees related to the Company's business operations. The investigation is ongoing, and the Audit Committee continues to work diligently with independent counsel and consultants to complete the investigation as soon as possible." On this news, "Polished's stock price fell 35% to close at $0.97 per share on August 16, 2022, on unusually heavy trading volume, damaging investors."
