Event Summary

Pomerantz LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Plug Power Inc. and certain officers, alleging that the company made materially false and misleading statements to investors between January 17, 2025, and November 13, 2025. The lawsuit centers on Plug Power's representations regarding a $1.66 billion loan guarantee from the United States===United States Department of Energy's Loan Program Office, intended to finance the construction of hydrogen production plants. The complaint alleges that Plug Power overstated the likelihood of receiving these funds and constructing the facilities, leading to a pivot towards more modest projects. Key events contributing to the lawsuit include the abrupt departure of CEO Andrew Marsh and President Sanjay Shrestha in October 2025, and the subsequent announcement in November 2025 that Plug Power had suspended activities under the DOE loan program. These announcements led to significant declines in Plug Power's stock price, with a total drop of over 27% across several trading sessions.
