Cutera announced on February 28, 2023, that it would fail to file its 2022 annual report in a timely manner. Then, on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, shares of California-based aesthetics device company tumbled after the immediate terminations of its CEO and Executive Chairman for allegedly violating their fiduciary duties by disclosing “highly confidential internal deliberations of the board,” as said in a Cutera statement.   

In response to Cutera’s action, Mowry and Plants filed a lawsuit against the “Entrenched Directors” for alleged retaliation.
