$INV faces allegations of systematic self-dealing by its board and insiders. Critics claim the company's structure funnels dilution to public shareholders while directors, officers, and an ESG Fund they control retain large residual stakes in operating subsidiaries—AeroFlexx, Accelsius, and Refinity.
Key concerns:
• Parent company raises dilute public holders; insiders benefit from subsidiary equity
• ESG Fund investment committee includes company executives
• Related-party transactions flow through an Audit Committee whose independence is disputed
• DarkNX project triggered earnout shares for insiders, then disappeared—only partial forfeitures followed
• Insiders allegedly offset dilution with option grants
If the Audit Committee lacked true independence during these decisions, business judgment rule protections may not apply. Critics argue the conflicts are overt and consulting agreements won't shield those involved.
