Lightning eMotors, Inc., No. 21-cv-02774, the Lightning eMotors class action lawsuit.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Prior to its business combination with Lightning eMotors, GigCapital3 was a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), also known as a blank check company, incorporated for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. On May 6, 2021, Lightning eMotors consummated a business combination with Lightning Systems, Inc. pursuant to an agreement by and among GigCapital3, Project Power Merger Sub, Inc., and Lightning Systems. On May 7, 2021, Lightning eMotors’s common stock and warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols “ZEV” and “ZEV.WS”, respectively.

The Lightning eMotors class action lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) Lightning eMotors 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; (ii) accordingly, Lightning eMotors materially overstated its financial position and/or prospects; and (iii) as a result, Lightning eMotors’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On August 16, 2021, Lightning eMotors announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2021, including a net loss per share of $0.79 compared to a loss of $0.10 in the second quarter of 2020. Lightning eMotors also pulled its full year financial guidance for the remainder of 2021, just days after announcing a multi-year agreement with Forest River, a Berkshire Hathaway company. On this news, Lightning eMotors’s stock price fell nearly 17%, damaging investors.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Lightning eMotors securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Lightning eMotors class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Lightning eMotors class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Lightning eMotors class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery of the Lightning eMotors class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
