In the complaint, the defendants are alleged to have violated certain
provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, the
complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented and/or failed to
disclose that, among other things: (a) rather than the outsized growth
requiring the hiring of additional employees and the deployment of
additional capital producing assets to expand operations, the Company
was not experiencing any organic growth in its Shale Solutions segment;
(b) Nuverra’s business in the Baaken basin area reduced due to an
increase in competition from new trucking companies; (c) oversupply of
tanks and other rental products caused a collapse in rental rates; (d)
oil and gas exploration and production companies had been investing in
their own gathering and disposal systems for water; (e) certain fracking
projects were not completed due to snow in the first quarter of 2013 and
rain in the second quarter of 2013; (f) the assets acquired in the TFI
acquisition were not producing due to weakness in the used oil market
and Nuverra’s Industrial Solutions segments were declining; (g) Nuverra
was experiencing operational problems in its Eagle Ford area; (h)
Nuverra was employing high-priced subcontractors in the Marcellus and
Utica shale areas, lowering its overall profit margins; and (i) due to
the above, Nuverra was not on track to achieve the financial results
Defendants had led the market to expect during the Class Period.
According to the complaint, when these facts were finally revealed to
the market, Nuverra’s shares dropped dramatically.
