Electro Optic Systems Holdings Ltd (EOS.AU) saw its shares plummet 12% during Tuesday's intraday trading session following negative developments involving short-seller Grizzly Research.
The company confirmed that Grizzly Research has disclosed holding a short position in its securities and published a critical research report. In response, Electro Optic Systems has firmly rejected the allegations in the Grizzly report and stated it is considering legal action against the short-seller.
The company has directed its legal advisers in both Australia and Germany to examine all available legal remedies in response to what it considers to be misleading statements in the report. This development has created significant negative sentiment around the stock, leading to the sharp price decline during the trading session.
