According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants issued false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Mooresboro Facility was unable to operate as planned due construction defects; (2) these operational problems at the facility were significant, pervasive and the result of fundamental engineering and operational defects; (3) Horsehead had not and did not know how to rectify the problems at the Mooresboro Facility and as a result, production disruptions and tens of millions of dollars in costs related to these problems were likely and anticipated; (4) Horsehead was employing expensive, temporary workarounds at the Mooresboro Facility in order to achieve limited production capacity and as a result, the facility was not providing significant cost savings, but was causing Horsehead to spend cash at an unsustainable rate; (5) the Mooresboro Facility did not have an annual zinc production capacity of 155,000 tons and could not even sustainably achieve 50% of that capacity; (6) operational issues at the Mooresboro Facility were deteriorating as Horsehead used stop-gap measures to boost production in the short term that were unsustainable, untested, highly risky and causing decreased operational stability; (7) Horsehead did not have sufficient liquidity, cash on hand and anticipated cash flows for general corporate purposes to sustain it through the full ramp-up of the Mooresboro Facility; and (8) as a result, Horsehead’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
