Date Filed: | Sep-8-08 |
Lead Plaintiff Deadline: | Nov-7-08 |
Court: | Western District of Oklahoma |
Allegations: |
The complaint charges Quest Energy and certain former and present officers, and controlling entities, including Quest Resource Corporation ("Quest Resource") with violations of Sections 11 and/or 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Quest Energy's issuance of a materially inaccurate Registration Statement and Prospectus (the "Registration Statement") in connection with Quest Energy's IPO.
According to the Complaint, on November 7, 2007 Quest Energy commenced its IPO raising over $150 million from investors. The Complaint asserts that Quest Energy's Registration Statement was materially inaccurate because Quest Energy failed to properly disclose related party transactions between its former CEO and an entity controlled by him. The Complaint also asserts claims against Quest Resource as it was the controlling entity of Quest Energy and is liable under Section 15 of the Securities Act.
On August 25, 2008 Quest Energy announced that its former CEO Jerry Cash had resigned following an inquiry by the Oklahoma Department of Securities in connection with questionable transfers of, among other things, Quest Energy funds to an entity controlled by Mr. Cash. Quest Energy also announced that it had constituted a special committee to conduct an internal investigation. As a result of these adverse disclosures, the price of Quest Energy shares dropped damaging investors.
