Nano-X purportedly develops and produces x-ray source technology for the medical imaging industry.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Companys business, operational, and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Nano-Xs commercial agreements and its customers were fabricated; (ii) Nano-Xs statements regarding its novel Nanox System were misleading as the Company never provided data comparing its images with images from competitors machines; (iii) Nano-Xs submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) admitted the Nanox System was not original; and (iv) as a result, Defendants public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

On September 15, 2020, Citron Research published a report titled Nano-X Imaging (NNOX) A Complete Farce on the Market Theranos 2.0 (the Citron Report). With respect to Nano-X, the Citron Report stated that this $3 billion company is nothing more than a science project with a simple rendering, minimal R&D, fake customers, no FDA approval, and fraudulent claims that are beyond the realm of possibility.

The Citron Report revealed that the Companys claims about its customers with commercial agreements were false.

The Citron Report also discussed how Nano-X has not published any data comparing images from its machines with other x-ray machines and that Nano-Xs statements that it was creating a novel solution to medical imaging were false.

The Citron Report noted and explained that the Companys 510(k) application to the FDA for the Nanox System was an admission that the Company did not have a novel product, stating, in part: By submitting a 510(K), you are saying you have nothing new and are seeking easy approval as you are just another product that has already been tested.

On this news, Nano-Xs ordinary share price fell $12.41 per share, or more than 25%, over the next two trading days to close at $36.80 per share on September 16, 2020, damaging investors.
