(NASDAQ: ARRY) (‘ Array ‘or the’ Company ‘) and other related parties (collectively the’ Defendants ‘)’).

Claims under the Securities Act will be brought against Array, investment banks who acted as underwriters on the offers, and the company’s directors and officers who signed the offer materials.

The story goes on

Array is an Albuquerque, New Mexico based manufacturer of open space systems used in solar energy projects. The company’s main products are commonly referred to as “trackers”. Trackers are designed to move solar panels throughout the day to maintain optimal alignment with the sun, which greatly increases their energy production.

With respect to the Exchange Act claims, the lawsuit alleges that throughout the collection period, defendants made false and misleading information because they failed to, and otherwise failed to disclose, prices of certain commodities, such as steel, that went through the first quarter of 2020 reaching back, was about to more than double, and Array faced rising freight costs. As a result of the foregoing, the Company’s positive statements about its business and operations were lacking in any reasonable basis.

Similarly, in relation to the Securities Act claims, the lawsuit alleges that the offering materials contained false and misleading statements because they omitted and otherwise failed to disclose that prior to the offers, increases in raw material and freight costs negatively impacted the business of the Company and operations.

On May 11, 2021, just months after the deals, the truth about these rising costs and its negative impact on the company’s bottom line was revealed. On that day, Array released its first quarter 2021 results, which fell short of earnings analysts’ expectations, and withdrew its full-year 2021 outlook, citing rising steel and freight costs. Analysts immediately lowered their ratings on Array stocks, citing concerns about the company’s falling profit margins. For example, in a Barclays report, analysts downgraded Array stock from overweight to underweight because of concerns about volume, margins and profitability. As a result of this news, Array’s stock price fell $ 11.49 per share, or 46.1 percent, to close at $ 13.46 per share on May 12, 2021.
