HS questions Energy Vault's (NRGV) disclosures regarding $50 million License and Royalty Agreement with Atlas Renewable and China Tianying.

Rhea-AI Summary

On May 10, 2022, a securities fraud investigation update disclosed that Energy Vault will advance $25 million for a construction project in China. However, the project is merely a demonstration, and its capacity of 100MWh is inadequate compared to the 600MWh required for mainstream power generation in China. Additionally, the company's reported $50 million License and Royalty Agreement may have misrepresented its revenue-generating capabilities, potentially harming investors and violating securities laws.

Positive

• Energy Vault advances $25 million for project construction.

Negative

• Project in China has insufficient capacity at 100MWh, falling short of 600MWh required.
• Misrepresentation regarding the $50 million License and Royalty Agreement potentially harming investors.

NEWPORT, Calif., May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 

Securities Fraud Investigation Update:

1. "Energy Vault will advance $25 million for the construction of the project" writes Yunfan Zhao in China's 21st Century Business Herald.
   "Energy Vault方面则将垫付2500万美元用于该项目的建设。"
2. "The Energy Vault build in China is just a demonstration," according to Jian Li, Secretary of the Party Committee of Rudong Coastal Economic Development Zone.
3. "Mainstream power generation in China requires 600MWh to run 8,000 hours per year, while the Energy Vault project is only 100MWh - lacking any practical application for backup storage in China," according to Chinese Engineer, Jijun Zhu.
4. Misrepresentation and omission of material facts, including with regard to the $50 million License and Royalty Agreement with Atlas Renewable and China Tianying, may have falsely portrayed Energy Vault's true ability to generate revenues, and consequently, may have inflicted harm on public investors and be a violation of Securities Law.
