CASE ALLEGATIONS: Lilium purports to be a next-generation transportation company focused on developing an electric vertical take-off-and-landing ("eVTOL") aircraft, the Lilium Jet, for use in a new type of high-speed air transport system for people and goods. On March 30, 2021, Qell Acquisition Corp. - a special purpose acquisition company ("SPAC") or blank check company - and Lilium GmbH announced their business combination. Prior to the September 14, 2021 merger, Lilium's shares traded under the ticker symbol QELL.

The Lilium class action lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) Lilium materially overstated the Lilium Jet's design and capabilities; (ii) Lilium materially overstated the likelihood for the Lilium Jet's timely certification; (iii) Lilium misrepresented its ability to obtain or create the necessary batteries for the Lilium Jet; (iv) the SPAC-merger would not and did not generate enough cash to commercially launch the Lilium Jet; (v) Qell Acquisition Corp. did not engage in proper due diligence regarding the merger; and (vi) as a result, defendants' public statements and statements to journalists were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

On March 14, 2022, market analyst Iceberg Research released a report regarding Lilium entitled "LILIUM NV - THE LOSING HORSE IN THE EVTOL RACE" which detailed several alleged issues with Lilium. For example, the Iceberg Research report stated that: (i) regarding the Lilium Jet's design and capabilities, "[i]ts objective is for the Jet to fly up to 155 miles" "[b]ut none of Lilium's demonstrators have flown for more than three minutes even after seven years of work"; (ii) regarding the Lilium Jet's certification prospects and timing, "Lilium is likely to miss the 2023 target by miles" as "[i]t has completed less than 50 test flights on its fourth and fifth (current) demonstrators"; (iii) regarding Lilium's ability to obtain or create the necessary batteries for the Lilium Jet, "[w]e believe that Lilium voluntarily misrepresented its access to batteries to raise SPAC money, despite not having the battery technology"; and (iv) regarding the SPAC-merger and its generation of enough cash to commercially launch the Lilium Jet, "with a cash runway of 18 months, Lilium will have no choice but to forcibly dilute shareholders through additional fundraisings, while its commercialization effort lags peers." On this news, Lilium's stock price fell by approximately 34%, damaging investors.
