(TMC) Failed to Disclose its Deficient Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (i) TMC maintained deficient internal controls over financial reporting; (ii) as a result, the Company inaccurately classified the sale of future revenue attributable to the LCR Partnership as deferred income rather than debt; and (iii) the foregoing misclassification, when it became known, would require TMC to restate one or more of its previously issued financial statements. Plaintiff alleges that on March 25, 2024 , TMC disclosed in a filing with the SEC that the Company's financial statements for the first three quarters of 2023 "should be restated and, accordingly, should no longer be relied upon", citing the "re-evaluat[ion of] whether the offsetting entry to the proceeds it received from LCR should be classified as debt or deferred income.
" Further, TMC explained that, "[a]s the transaction with LCR was considered an equity investment rather than a sale transaction, the sale of future revenue will be reclassified as Royalty liability" per appropriate accounting standards. On this news, TMC's stock price fell $0.205 per share, or 13.
