What is this Case About: B. Riley Financial, Inc. (RILY) Misled Investors Regarding its Business Prospects

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that Brian Kahn had been credibly implicated in a conspiracy to defraud investors of millions of dollars; (2) that, in spite of this involvement, B. Riley continued to finance the transaction enabling Kahn and others to take FRG private through complex arrangements; and (3) that the foregoing was reasonably likely to draw regulatory scrutiny to B. Riley.

Plaintiff alleges that in May 2023, B. Riley entered into an agreement to assist Kahn, CEO of Franchise Group, Inc., in leading a management buyout of FRG. The $2.8 billion deal to take FRG private was completed on August 21, 2023. The transaction was partially financed by Nomura Holdings Inc. via B. Riley, who secured the financing allowing Kahn and other senior management of FRG to acquire the remaining 64% stake that they did not already own.

On November 2, 2023, Kahn was implicated as an unnamed coconspirator in a conspiracy to defraud investors of $294 million in funds. On this news, the Company’s stock price dropped $9.02, or 22%, to close at $32.54 per share on November 6, 2023.

On November 9, 2023, after the market closed, the Company revealed significant details concerning the FRG transaction and the years-long series of complex financial transactions between B. Riley, Kahn, and the Company’s respective subsidiaries, which culminated in the August 21, 2023 transaction. On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $4.47, or 15%, to close at $25.60 per share on November 10, 2023. The Company’s stock price continued to fall 14% over the next consecutive trading session to close at $22.01 per share on November 13, 2023.
