Allegations and Class Period

The lawsuit, lodged in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, targets statements made from February 14, 2019, to October 25, 2023. It accuses Evolution and its leaders of providing false assurances about adherence to laws, the ramifications of non-compliance on revenues, and the company’s growth strategies.

Between January 24, 2022, and October 26, 2023, several disclosures purportedly exposed the reality behind Evolution’s compliance and financial health, leading to significant fluctuations in its share and ADS prices.

The deadline to apply for this role is set for March 25, 2024, subject to fulfilling certain conditions outlined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
