Class Action Details
The class action, filed under the case name
Luciani v. NET Power Inc. (No. 25-cv-00296), alleges that NET Power and certain executives have violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This groundbreaking case has caught the attention of many after allegations indicating misleading statements and failures to disclose pertinent information regarding the company's critical Project Permian.
Background of NET Power
NET Power operates within the energy technology sector, focusing on gas turbine technology aimed at transforming the natural gas power industry. The company’s flagship initiative,
Project Permian, located in La Porte, Texas, is designed to be a utility-scale plant. However, allegations claim that executives misrepresented project timelines and budgets to investors during the specified class period.
Allegations Against NET Power
According to the filed complaint, several issues plagued the company’s communication with investors:
1.
Delays in Project Permian: Executives allegedly failed to inform investors that the project was unlikely to be completed on schedule and that significant cost overruns were anticipated. This included not adequately addressing ongoing supply chain issues and site-specific challenges faced in Texas.
2.
Unrealistic Projections: Statements made by NET Power regarding the expected capital and timeline required to complete the project were deemed unrealistic. It became evident that these initial projections did not align with the financial realities the company was facing as construction progressed.
3.
Share Price Impact: As disclosures about project delays and budget overruns became public, NET Power's stock price reflected the negative sentiment, plummeting by over 18% following the announcement of a significant delay and again falling by 31% after revealing inflated cost estimates.
