Lead plaintiff motions for the Volta class action lawsuit must be filed with the court no later than May 31, 2022.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Volta partners with real estate and retail businesses to locate and deploy its electric vehicle charging stations. On August 26, 2021, Volta Industries, Inc. (“Legacy Volta”), a private entity, and Tortoise Acquisition Corp. II, a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC” or blank-check company), completed a business combination pursuant to which the combined entity was named Volta Inc.

The Volta class action lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (i) Volta had improperly accounted for restricted stock units issued in connection with the business combination; (ii) as a result, Volta had understated its net loss for third quarter 2021; (iii) there were material weaknesses in Volta’s internal control over financial reporting that resulted in a material error; (iv) as such, Volta would restate its financial statements; (v) consequently, Legacy Volta’s founders would imminently exit Volta; (vi) thus, Volta’s financial results would be adversely impacted; and (vii) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Volta’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On March 2, 2022, Volta revealed that the financial impact of the restatement of its third quarter 2021 financial results was greater than previously disclosed, expecting to report a net loss of $69.7 million for the quarter. On this news, Volta’s share price fell by 2.6%.

Then, on March 21, 2022, Volta announced that it would reschedule its fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results. On this news, Volta’s share price fell an additional 8.4%.

Finally, on March 28, 2022, Volta announced that its founders, defendant Scott Mercer and Christopher Wendel, had resigned from their positions as CEO and President, respectively, and from the Board of Directors of Volta. On this news, Volta’s share price fell by approximately 18%, further damaging investors.

Robbins Geller has launched a dedicated SPAC Task Force to protect investors in blank check companies and seek redress for corporate malfeasance.

The rise in blank check financing poses unique risks to investors. Robbins Geller’s SPAC Task Force represents the vanguard of ensuring integrity, honesty, and justice in this rapidly developing investment arena.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Volta securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Volta class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery of the class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
