Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. Announces That a Class Action Lawsuit Has Been Filed Against ProPetro Holdings Corp. (NYSE: PUMP) and Encourages ProPetro Investors to Contact the Firm


Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for Western District of Texas on behalf of all investors that purchased ProPetro Holdings Corp.

In March 2017, the company completed its initial public offering ("IPO"), in which it sold 25 million shares of common stock at $14.00 per share.

On August 8, 2019, the company issued a press release delaying its second quarter earnings conference call and quarterly report, citing an ongoing review by its audit committee. In a Form 8-K filed with the SEC (News - Alert) on the same day, the company stated that the review concerned, among other things, expense reimbursements and certain transactions involving related parties or potential conflicts of interest. The Form 8-K also stated that approximately $370,000 had been improperly reimbursed to members of senior management since the IPO.

On this news, the company's share price fell $4.59 per share, or over 26%, to close at $12.75 per share on August 9, 2019.

By the date his class action was filed, ProPetro stock was trading as low as $11.44 per share, a nearly 18% decline from the $14 per share IPO price.



The complaint, filed on September 16, 2019, alleges that throughout the Class Period 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: (1) that the company's executive officers were improperly reimbursed for certain expenses; (2) that the company had engaged in certain undisclosed transactions with related parties; (3) that the company lacked adequate disclosure controls and procedures; (4) that the company lacked effective internal control over financial reporting; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about the company's business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
