ASTRA’S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT

Astra operates as an operational space launch company. On June 30, 2021, Astra and Holicity, a special purpose acquisition company, merged.

On February 2, 2021, Holicity filed a Form 8-K, which attached a press release dated February 2, 2021 entitled “Astra to become the first publicly traded space launch company on NASDAQ via merger with Holicity” which announced the merger with Astra. The February 2, 2021 8-K also attached an investor presentation which included slides touting Astra’s ability to “[l]aunch anywhere in the world in 24 hours,” its timeline, and its potential market.

The truth emerged on December 29, 2021, when market researcher Kerrisdale Capital released a report entitled “Astra Space, Inc (ASTR): Headed for Dis-Astra” (the Kerrisdale Report), which alleged myriad issues with Astra. Specifically, the Kerrisdale Report stated that “[m]anagement habitually describes Astra as having the flexibility to launch from ‘anywhere in the world,’ which is simply not true” reasoning that “[in] the US, Astra can only launch from an FAA-licensed commercial spaceport approved for vertical launch. There are only 5 such sites (plus SpaceX’s private Boca Chica spaceport) located in the U.S.” The Kerrisdale Report also stated that Astra’s “main competitors will soon be launching larger 1,000kg+ payload rockets while Astra has yet to overcome developmental hurdles necessary to successfully launch even a single satellite into any of the emerging broadband mega-constellations.” Further, the Kerrisdale Report stated that “[c]onversations with an individual familiar with Astra’s rocket design and manufacturing suggest investors may have to endure an uncomfortably high rate of failure as the company ramps to a targeted monthly launch cadence in 2022.” Finally, the Kerrisdale Report stated that “[w]hile others in the industry like Rocket Lab are developing well-suited, best-in-class technology, enabling a variety of TAM-expanding missions, Astra is settling for suboptimal acquired technology with only niche applications.”

Following this news, Astra’s share price fell $1.10 per share, or approximately 14%, to close at $6.61 per share on December 29, 2021.
