FREMONT, Calif., April 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Complete Solaria, Inc. (“Complete Solaria” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: CSLR) today released an internal document which describes what appears to be a short attack on its stock on the trading day after it launched and announced its first major employee stock option program. The attack is described in detail in the memo to employees, which can be viewed via the link here.

Complete Solaria chairman, T.J. Rodgers said, “The reason I released this internal document is that when I raised the question about internal leaks, one of our private equity firms, Kline-Hill, agreed with the facts as presented, while the other firm, Carlyle, responded with a letter from a junior lawyer bulletizing the rigors of their compliance program, while ignoring the obvious problem of information leaks to third parties.”
