On February 21, 2017, Rentech disclosed that it would idle its Wawa facility. Citing operational issues that necessitate unbudgeted capital investments, Rentech stated that there is “continued uncertainty” as to the profitability of products produced at the Wawa facility and instructed investors that it was seeking other strategic alternatives.

On this news, Rentech stock fell over 47% per share, closing at just $1.44 on February 21, 2017.

The filed complaint in this class action lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Rentech’s resources were not sufficient to overcome any operating challenges and remaining bottleneck at its Wawa facility; (2) consequently, the Wawa facility would not reach approximately 60% of production capacity within the next couple quarters and achieve full capacity in the range of 400,000 to 450,000 metric tons late in the year; (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about Rentech’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable bases at all relevant times.
