According to the complaint, Argo conducted its IPO on September 23, 2021, issuing 7.5 million ADSs at the offering price of $15 per ADS for approximate proceeds of $105 million. Defendants and the Offering Documents in connection with the IPO failed to disclose that: (i) Argo was highly susceptible to and/or suffered from significant capital constraints, electricity and other costs, and network difficulties; (ii) these issues hampered, inter alia, Argo's ability to mine BTC, execute its business strategy, meet its obligations, and operate its Helios facility; and (iii) as a result, Argo's business was less sustainable than defendants had led investors to believe.
On June 7, 2022, Argo provided an operation update and disclosed it had mined approximately 25% fewer BTC in May 2022 compared to April 2022 because of, inter alia, increased network difficulty, higher electricity prices, and the curtailment of mining operations at its Helios facility. On this news, Argo's ADS price fell $0.28 per ADS, or 4.4%, to close at $6.09 per ADS on June 7, 2022.
On October 7, 2022, Argo issued a press release "announc[ing] several strategic actions that are intended to bring in additional capital to the business and ensure that the Company has the working capital necessary to execute its current strategy and meet its obligations over the next twelve months." Argo stated that in addition to measures being undertaken to reduce costs and preserve capital, the Company had signed a non-binding letter of intent with an affiliate of New York Digital Investment Group to amend an existing equipment financing agreement, plans to sell 3,400 mining machines for cash proceeds of £6 million, and intends to raise approximately £24 million via a proposed subscription with a strategic investor. On this news, Argo's ADS price fell $0.97 per ADS, or 23.26%, to close at $3.20 per ADS on October 7, 2022.

Then, on October 11, 2022, Argo provided an operational update, announcing that "[d]uring the month of September, Argo mined 215 [BTC] compared to 235 BTC in August 2022" which was "primarily due to a 12% increase in average network difficulty during September." Argo also stated that it "is continuing to curtail operations at its Helios facility in Dickens County, Texas during periods of high electricity prices" and was replacing the Company's Chief Technology Officer ("CTO"). On this news, Argo's ADS price fell $0.27 per ADS, or 10.98%, to close at $2.19 per ADS on October 11, 2022. Argo's ADSs now traded under $2 per ADS, significantly below the Company's IPO price.
