Law Offices of Howard G. Smith announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Lightning eMotors Inc. (“Lightning eMotors” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ZEV) securities between May 7, 2021 and August 16, 2021, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Lightning eMotors investors have until December 14, 2021 to file a lead plaintiff motion.
Investors suffering losses on their Lightning eMotors investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On August 16, 2021, after the market closed, Lightning eMotors announced its second quarter 2021 financial results, reporting a net loss per share of $.79 compared to a loss of $.10 in the second quarter of 2020. The Company also withdrew its fiscal 2021 guidance, stating that it “no longer expects to meet full year guidance” citing among other things “chassis production disruptions.”
On this news, the Company’s share price fell $1.63, or 16.93%, to close at $8.00 per share on August 17, 2021.
The complaint filed alleges that throughout the Class Period, the defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company would record a substantially greater net loss per share in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020 and would pull its full year guidance for the remainder of 2021; (2) accordingly, the Company materially overstated its financial position and/or prospects; and (3) as a result, Defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased Lightning eMotors securities, have information or would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G.
