Kendall Law Group, led by a former federal judge, today announced
that a lawsuit has been filed against EnergySolutions, Inc. (NYSE:
ES) for securities violations related to the company's initial public
offering on November 14, 2007 and the Company's offering of
securities on July 24, 2008, affecting stock purchased between
November 14, 2007 and October 14, 2008.
The complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, charges
EnergySolutions, certain of its officers and directors, ENV Holdings,
LLC and the main underwriters for the Offering with violations of the
federal securities laws. According to the complaint, defendants made
numerous positive statements regarding the company's financial
condition, business and prospects by failing to disclose that the
economic problems were adversely affecting their ability to secure
projects, affecting its future results. The statements in their
offering documents for the Offerings about the opportunities in the
nuclear industry were misleading in that they were not well situated
in the near term to benefit from those opportunities. On May 29,
2007, the Company filed a petition for rulemaking requesting that the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission change well-established and
longstanding regulations to allow funds from licensees'
decommissioning trust funds to be used for the cost of disposal of
major radioactive components that have been removed from reactors
before the permanent cessation of operations. The business prospects
of EnergySolutions were heavily dependent upon a favorable ruling from
the NRC, even though the NRC had already addressed and rejected the
issue since they had been clear that the purpose of the
decommissioning trust funds is to ensure that licensees have adequate
funds on hand for decommissioning activities at the time of license
expiration. The rule change sought by the Petition was considerably
more difficult and the risk was much higher.
EnergySolutions issued a press release on October 14, 2008, revealing
that the company was reducing its estimates for net income and that
the financial crisis would delay their ability to accelerate the
decommissioning of nuclear power plan assets. The press release also
indicated that the NRC denied the Petition for rulemaking change. On
this announcement, EnergySolutions' stock dropped 44%, from $10.14 per
share on October 13 to $5.64 on October 14 with extremely heavy trade
volume.
Any shareholder, who purchased EnergySolutions stock during the above
time period, may move the Court to serve as a plaintiff in this class
action. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the
Court for appointment by December 7, 2009. A lead plaintiff is a
class member who acts on behalf of other class members in directing
the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery is not,
affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff. Any member of
the 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.
