$INV board and insiders allegedly structured deals where public shareholders absorb dilution to fund operating companies (AeroFlexx, Accelsius, Refinity) in which directors, officers, and an ESG Fund they control already hold significant residual stakes.
Key allegations:
• Parent company raises dilute public holders while insiders retain upside in subsidiaries
• 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 forfeit followed
• Insiders allegedly replenish dilution with stock option grants
Critic claims business judgment rule won't shield board if Audit Committee lacked independence during these decisions. Alleges blatant conflicts of interest masked by consulting agreements.
