HEXO Corp. (HEXO) Chief Financial Officer Resigns

On October 4, 2019, HEXO Corp. announced the sudden resignation of its Chief Financial Officer (FCO), Michael Monahan, after four months in the position. The next trading day, the company’s stock closed down 6.4%.

A few days after that, Bank of America analyst Christopher Carey downgraded the stock from “buy” to “underperform” and said that such an abrupt resignation from an experienced CFO would cause investors to wonder what they didn’t know.

On October 10, 2019, HEXO released preliminary revenue data for the fourth quarter of 2019 that were almost 50% lower than their previous guidance. They also withdrew guidance for fiscal 2020 of up to $400 million in revenue.

HEXO’s Chief Executive Officer Sebastian St-Louis said the bad financial results were due to “lower than expected product sell through” and said that the company would have to make “significant changes” to improve results in the future.

On October 10, 2019, HEXO’s stock closed down more than 22%, causing significant losses for shareholders.

SEC Whistleblower Award

If you have information regarding a corporation that helps an investigation, you may be eligible for a whistleblower award if you provide the SEC with original, non-public information that leads to a successful enforcement action.

Individuals may file a whistleblower claim on their own, but many prefer to do so with the help of an experienced law firm that can guide them through the process and give them the best odds of collecting an award. A whistleblower award can be anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of the money collected when the sanction is $1 million or more. Our attorneys represent whistleblowers including current and former employees of major brokerage firms.
