The litigation focuses on PureCycle’s disclosures about the operation of its first commercial-scale recycled pellet production facility in Lawrence County, Ohio (the “Ironton facility”).

More specifically, during Aug. 8 – Aug. 9, 2023, PureCycle assured investors that “the commissioning of Ironton is progressing well,” “Ironton is operational” and “Ironton is running and raising production rates every day.”

The complaint alleges that PureCycle made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (1) the Ironton facility experienced a full plant power outage on Aug. 7, 2023; and (2) there was a risk of additional failures from the outage.

Investors learned the truth on Sept. 13, 2023, when PureCycle disclosed the Aug. 7 power outage.  The company revealed that the outage necessitated a halt to its Ironton operations and required the replacement of a seal that failed due to the outage.  The company also revealed that it initiated restart procedures on Sept. 11, 2023.

This news sent the price of PureCycle shares sharply lower on Sept. 14, 2023.

Hagens Berman has a proven track record of being appointed to leadership roles in complex, multidistrict litigation regarding investor fraud and other consumer rights issues, and your claim will be handled by attorneys who have helped secure approximately $325 billion in class-action settlements on behalf of individuals who have suffered due to corporate malfeasance and the wrongdoing of other powerful institutions

What is the threshold amount to be eligible? What are “substantial” losses?

The threshold amount and the definition of "substantial" losses may vary depending on a number of factors specific to the case, including the size of the company, market cap, shares outstanding and who holds them and the damages alleged by the fraud.
