In June 2021, Torchlight merged into a Canadian company named Metamaterial Technologies Inc. ("Metamaterial"). In connection with the merger, legacy Torchlight shareholders received shares of non-voting Meta Materials preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock corresponded to the oil and gas assets that Metamaterial acquired from Torchlight during the merger. Holders of the Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive either proceeds from the sale of the oil and gas assets or, if the assets were not sold by a certain date, equity in a spin-off entity created to take ownership of the assets.
Meta Materials did not sell the legacy Torchlight oil and gas assets and, consequently, proceeded with spinning off the oil and gas assets into Next Bridge Hydrocarbons, Inc.. To effectuate the spin-off, on July 14, 2022, Next Bridge Hydrocarbons, Inc. filed a registration statement with the SEC, followed by several amendments and a final prospectus (collectively, the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement became "effective" on November 18, 2022.

According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges, that the defendants violated Federal Securities Laws. ore specifically, the plaintiff claims that the Registration Statement contained untrue statements of a material fact and/or omitted to state material facts to make the statements therein not misleading. The Registration Statement also violated specific disclosure provisions which dictate what must be disclosed by issuers in registration statements. Consequently, NBH's violations of the Securities Act of 1933 have damaged Shareholders who received NBH shares as a result of the Registration Statement and Spin-Off.

Those who acquired a significant amount of Next Bridge Hydrocarbons, Inc. shares have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
