Wrap purports to develop security products for law enforcement and security personnel, including the BolaWrap 100, a hand-held remote restraint device that discharges an eight-foot bola style Kevlar tether to entangle a subject at a range of 10-25 feet.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational, and compliance policies.  Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company had concealed the results of the Los Angeles Police Department, or ("LAPD") BolaWrap pilot program, which demonstrated that the BolaWrap was ineffective, expensive, and sparingly used in the field; and (ii) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

On September 23, 2020, while the market was open, White Diamond Research published a report entitled "Wrap Technologies: Disastrous LAPD BolaWrap Pilot Program Results, No Evidence These Have Been Communicated To Investors" alleging, among other things, that the Company's trial pilot program with the LAPD was a disaster, and that the Company had not disclosed the results to investors. 

On this news, Wrap's stock price fell $2.07 per share, or 25.43%, to close at $6.07 per share on September 23, 2020, damaging investors.
