Rapid Nutrition: AMF Seeks to Extend Suspension Due to 'Boiler Room' Type Manipulation
The Financial Markets Authority (AMF) announced on Friday, March 13, 2026, its request to extend the suspension of trading on RAPID NUTRITION shares until April 10, 2026. This action follows suspicions of market abuse, specifically potential 'boiler room' type price manipulation.
Extended Suspension Period
The trading suspension on RAPID NUTRITION shares, initially applied from the session of Thursday, February 19, 2026, to Friday, March 13, 2026, inclusive, is extended to Friday, April 10, 2026, inclusive. This decision is made under the provisions of Article L. 420-10 of the Monetary and Financial Code. The AMF has identified several indicators of a possible ongoing 'boiler room' (pump and dump) practice affecting the company's shares. The AMF's statement from February 19, 2026, had informed investors of these manipulation suspicions.
Reason for Extension
The AMF justified the extension of the suspension by the need to continue ongoing analyses. The authority urges investors who may have purchased RAPID NUTRITION securities following aggressive pitches to keep all relevant documents (screenshots, email exchanges, or messages via private messaging services) and to submit them by contacting the Epargne Info Service platform online or by phone at +33(0)1 53 45 62 00 from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM.
