Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming April 5, 2024 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the case filed on behalf of investors who purchased Brooge Energy Limited f/k/a Brooge Holdings Limited f/k/a Twelve Seas Investment Company (“Brooge” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BROG) securities between November 25, 2019 and December 21, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
Investors suffering losses on their Brooge investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.
On December 22, 2023, Brooge disclosed that it agreed to a $5 million settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission “related to alleged fraudulent accounting and offering conduct by the Company and two former officers.”
On this news, Brooge’s stock price fell $0.37, or 11.1%, to close at $2.97 per share on December 26, 2023, thereby injuring investors.
The complaint filed in this class action 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 that: (1) Brooge materially overstated its revenues because it never received any revenues from BIA, as well as another fictitious customer; (2) Brooge engaged in a complex pattern of payments with BIA to create the illusion of revenues from BIA and another customer that had no knowledge of the fraud; (3) Brooge intentionally lied to its auditors and the Securities and Exchange Commission about its fraudulent activities; (4) Brooge lacked internal controls; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired Brooge securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than April 5, 2024 to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action.
