Robbins LLP Investigates Potential Securities Violations by EQRx, Inc. Officers and Directors

Robbins LLP, a leading shareholder rights law firm, has announced an investigation into EQRx, Inc. (NASDAQ:EQRX) to determine whether certain officers and directors of the company violated securities laws and breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders. The investigation aims to shed light on potential misconduct by EQRx’s management.

The investigation comes in the wake of recent developments involving Corvex Management LP, an investment advisor that agreed to pay $1 million to settle allegations of undisclosed conflicts of interest related to certain special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) alleged that Corvex personnel, who were involved in forming three SPACs including CM Life Sciences III Inc. (now EQRx, Inc.), did not disclose their ownership interests and financial incentives to push advisory clients to invest in these SPACs.

The SEC further alleged that Corvex caused its advisory clients to participate in private investment in public equity transactions (PIPE transactions) worth $122.5 million in connection with the three SPACs’ business combinations. These conflicts of interest were not disclosed until April 2021, after the SPACs had completed their initial public offerings.

In addition to the SEC’s actions, Corvex founder Keith A. Meister and CM Life Sciences Holdings, one of the SPAC sponsors mentioned in the SEC’s order, are facing an investor lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court. The lawsuit alleges misleading disclosures leading up to the merger and subsequent value decline of clinical data and genomics company Sema4 Holdings in July 2021.

EQRx, Inc. shareholders who have incurred significant losses or own shares of the company are encouraged to contact Robbins LLP for more information about their legal rights. The law firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning shareholders pay no fees or expenses upfront.
