SAN DIEGO -- (Business Wire)
Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP reminds investors that
they have until January 20, 2015 to file a motion seeking to be
appointed lead plaintiff against Vivint Solar, Inc. (NYSE:VSLR). Johnson
& Weaver is the firm that filed the initial class action complaint
alleging violations of federal securities laws against Vivint Solar,
Inc. and certain of its officers and directors.
If you purchased Vivint Solar common stock securities between October
1, 2014 (the date of Vivint’s “IPO”) and November 10, 2014 (the "Class
Period"), we encourage you to contact our firm. The case is
pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York.
Additional Information about the Lawsuit:
Vivint Solar provides distributed solar energy to residential customers.
It installs and owns solar energy systems through long-term customer
contracts.
The complaint charges certain Vivint Solar’s officers and directors, its
controlling shareholder and the underwriters of its IPO with violations
of the Securities Act of 1933.
On or about September 30, 2014, Vivint Solar and the underwriters priced
the IPO, and on October 1, 2014 filed the final Prospectus, which forms
part of the Registration Statement for the IPO, with the SEC. The IPO
was successful for Vivint Solar and the underwriters, with the Company
issuing and selling 20.6 million new shares of Vivint Solar common stock
to the public at $16 per share, raising approximately $329.6 million in
gross proceeds.
The complaint alleges that the Registration Statement for the IPO was
negligently prepared and, as a result, contained untrue statements or
omitted necessary material facts which misled investors. According to
the complaint, under the rules and regulations governing the preparation
of the Registration Statement, Vivint Solar was required to disclose at
the time of the IPO that ownership trends in the residential solar
industry had changed from long-term leasing to financing, that demand
for long-term leases had declined, and that growth in the Company’s
operating expenses in the third quarter of 2014 had significantly
outstripped growth in revenue, resulting in much weaker sales trends and
significantly larger net losses than the market had been led to expect.
The Registration Statement contained no such disclosures. Vivint Solar
common stock currently trades at below $11 per share, a more than 32%
decline from the IPO price.
Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of Vivint
Solar common stock during the Class Period. If you wish to serve as a
lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 15, 2014.
Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead
plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing
and remain an absent class member. If you wish to discuss this
action, have any questions concerning this notice, or your rights or
interests, please contact lead analyst Jim Baker (jimb@johnsonandweaver.com)
