MP MATERIALS’ ALLEGED MISCONDUCT

MP Materials engages in the ownership and operation of integrated rare earth mining and processing facilities. FVAC operated as a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”). In November 2020, FVAC consummated a merger and changed its name to “MP Materials Corp.”

On February 3, 2022, Bonitas Research published a report accusing MP Materials of executing an “abusive transfer price manipulation scheme” with a related party in People’s Republic of China (“China”), Shenghe Resources Holding Co., Ltd. (“Shenghe”), which owned 7.7% of MP Materials as of March 22, 2021. Specifically, the report alleged that, since the second quarter of 2021, MP Materials and Shenghe “executed an abusive transfer price manipulation scheme whereby Shenghe overpaid for MP [Materials] concentrates to artificially inflate MP [Materials’] profits, [which] conveniently coincided with the SPAC insider lock-up expiration so that MP [Materials] insiders could sell MP [Materials] stock at artificially inflated prices.” In addition, the report cited a September 2019 German academic study that concluded MP [Materials’] ore at Mountain Pass is “not economically viable to harvest for rare earth metals while 12 of the other 13 well known rare earth mines outside of China are economically feasible” at current market prices.

Following this news, MP Materials’ stock price fell $5.61 per share, or 14.25%, to close at $33.75 per share on February 3, 2022.

WHAT CAN I DO?

MP Materials’ investors may, no later than April 25, 2022 seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages MP Materials’ investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information.
