A Nevada energy and manufacturing company headquartered in Nova Scotia agreed to pay $1 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for allegedly violating internal accounting controls, while the agency further investigates the former CEOs.
Meta Materials violated the antifraud, reporting, internal accounting controls, and books and records provisions of federal securities laws, the SEC announced in a press release Tuesday.
