NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. announces that purchasers of Ormat
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ORA) have filed a shareholder derivative complaint against the company’s officers and directors for
breaches of fiduciary duties beginning August 8, 2017 and continuing through the present.
According to the complaint, Ormat Technologies, Inc. (ORA) first revealed on March 16, 2018, that its disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2017 due to a material weakness in its internal control over
financial reporting. Ormat further reported that it had not performed an effective risk assessment related to its internal
controls over accounting for income taxes. On May 11, 2018, Ormat disclosed that it was delaying the filing of its Quarterly
Report for the period ended March 31, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission due to “error[s] in the Company’s financial
statement presentation of deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities that affects the Company’s balance sheets
in previous reporting periods. Then, on May 16, 2018, Ormat revealed it will restate its second, third, and fourth quarter
2017 financial statements and its full year 2017 statements and that its previously issued financial statements for these periods
should not be relied upon. Each of these disclosures resulted in a decrease of Ormat’s stock price to the detriment of
shareholders.
