ProPetro Holding Corp. (PUMP) Accused of Misleading Investors in IPO
According to the complaint, ProPetro held its initial public offering in March 2017, offering 25,000,000 common shares at $14 per share, receiving proceeds of approximately $175 million. In its registration documents, ProPetro stated its board of directors was prepared to "adopt a code of business conduct and ethics in connection with the completion of this offering" and assured that ProPetro would conduct quarterly reviews of its related-party transactions to ensure proper compliance. Then, on August 8, 2019, ProPetro issued a press release stating that it needed to delay its second quarter report and earnings call due to an ongoing review by its audit committee concerning expense reimbursements, including $370,000 improperly reimbursed to senior management, and other transactions involving related parties or conflicts of interest. On this news, ProPetro's share price fell $4.59 per share, or over 26%, to close at $12.75 per share. ProPetro's stock currently trades at around $10.00, an almost 29% decline from its IPO price.
