About the Lawsuit

Renewable and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

On February 25, 2021, post-market, the Company announced its 4Q and full year 2020 financial results, disclosing that it would restate “$38.2 million in cumulative revenue from January 2018 through September 30, 2020” because it was not the “proper claimant for certain BTC payments on biodiesel it sold between January 1, 2017 and September 30, 2020,” and that it had reached an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service “on a $40.5 million assessment, excluding interest” to correct these claims.

On this news, shares of Renewable fell $8.17, or 9.5%, over two consecutive trading sessions to close at $77.77 per share on February 26, 2021, on unusually heavy trading volume.

The case is Ramsey v. Renewable Energy Group, Inc., et al., 1:21-cv-01832.
