NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gainey McKenna & Egleston announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Desktop Metal, Inc. (Desktop Metal) (NYSE: DM) in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts on behalf of investors who purchased Desktops common stock between March 15, 2021 and November 15, 2021, both dates inclusive (the Class Period).

The Complaint alleges that Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (a) there were deficiencies in EnvisionTECs manufacturing and product compliance practices and procedures; (b) the foregoing deficiencies presented a material risk to the commercialization of EnvisionTECs products; and (c) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants positive statements about the Companys business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On November 8, 2021, after the market closed, the Company disclosed that it was conducting an internal investigation into certain matters, including manufacturing and product compliance practices and procedures with respect to a subset of its photopolymer equipment and materials at its EnvisionTec US LLC facility. The Company also stated that the Chief Executive Officer of EnvisionTec US LLC had resigned. On this news, the Companys stock dropped $0.39, or 4%, to close at $8.81 per share on November 9, 2021.

Then, on November 15, 2021, after the market closed, the Company stated that it would notify the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of compliance issues with certain shipments of EnvisionTECs Flexcera dental resins and its PCA4000 curing box. On this news, the Companys stock fell $1.19, or 15%, to close at $6.83 per share on November 16, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume.
