Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming lead
plaintiff deadline in the class action lawsuit filed on behalf of a
class comprising purchasers of the securities of Solazyme, Inc.
(“Solazyme” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:SZYM) who purchased securities
between February 27, 2014 and November 5, 2014, inclusive (the “Class
Period”). Investors have until August 24, 2015 to file a motion
to be appointed as a lead plaintiff in this class action lawsuit.
Solazyme is a bioproducts company that uses algae-based fermentation to
produce renewable oils for a range of personal and industrial uses. The
complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Company made
false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose
material adverse facts about Solazyme's construction progress,
development and production capacity at its renewable oils production
facility located in Moema, Brazil (the "Moema Project"). Specifically,
Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to
disclose that: Solazyme misstated and/or failed or disclose unfavorable
news about the Moema Project. Solazyme initially failed to report that
the Moema Project suffered construction delays stemming from the
inadequate availability of electricity and steam utilities. As a result,
the lawsuit alleges that Solazyme was prevented from increasing output
to its previously projected levels. On or around November 5, 2014, when
the truth regarding the Moema Project was revealed to investors, the
Company's stock declined $4.35 per share, or 58%, to close at $3.14 per
share on November 6, 2014.
