Sutts, Strosberg LLP Files a Proposed Securities Class Action Against WesternOne Inc.

On December 10, 2014, the law firm of Sutts, Strosberg LLP commenced a $75 million proposed securities class action against WesternOne Inc. (TSX:WEQ), some of its officers and directors, and the lead underwrites who underwrote WesternOne’s $38 million offering in September, 2014.

The plaintiffs allege that WesternOne made a misrepresentation by failing to disclose that the company was experiencing significant delays in phase one of the Keeyask Manitoba Hydro Project.

On November 13, 2014, WesternOne informed the public that there was a significant decline in its adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of, among other things, increased labour and sub-contractor costs arising from delays in the Keeyask Manitoba Hydro Project.

The value of WesternOne's stock has declined dramatically since its November 13, 2014, announcement.

"It is imperative that publicly-traded companies make timely disclosure of all material events, particularly in the context of a substantial offering to the investing public," said Jay Strosberg of Sutts, Strosberg LLP.

If you acquired WesternOne securities during the period September 12, 2014, to November 12, 2014, please contact Sutts, Strosberg LLP at 1-519-561-6296 or email at weq@strosbergco.com.
