On February 12, 2024, Metagenomi conducted its initial public offering ("IPO"), selling approximately 6.25 million shares at $15 per share. On May 1, 2024, less than two months after the IPO, Metagenomi announced that it and Moderna had "mutually agreed to terminate their collaboration." On this news, the price of Metagenomi shares declined by $0.87, or 12.4%, from $7.04 per share on May 1, 2024, to close at $6.17 per share on May 2, 2024.

According to the lawsuit, Metagenomi's statements in its IPO registration statement were false and/or materially misleading at the time of its IPO, which was conducted between February 9 and 13, 2024. Specifically, Metagenomi introduced itself to investors during its IPO as a "genetic medicines company" having a long-standing business relationship with Moderna, one of the leading Covid-19 vaccine companies. Contrary to these representations, Metagenomi's collaboration with Moderna would not extend into the future but instead terminate in the immediate future.
