Case Allegations

Venture Global is a provider of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”).  The Company describes its approach as innovative and disruptive, which is both scalable and repeatable, allowing Venture Global to bring LNG to the global market years faster and at a lower cost.

The Venture Global action lawsuit alleges that the Company completed its IPO pursuant to a false and misleading registration statement.  In the IPO materials, Defendants discussed the commissioning, constructing, and developing of five natural gas liquefaction and export projects near the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana. Venture Global further described each project as designed or being developed to include an LNG facility and associated pipeline systems that interconnect with several interstate and intrastate pipelines to enable the delivery of natural gas into the LNG facility.

On February 5, 2025, TotalEnergies, an energy company that was a target customer of Venture Global, rejected opportunities to become a long-term customer of the Company, citing a lack of trust.  In particular, TotalEnergies Chief Executive Officer stated that he was approached by Venture Global to see if the company would be interested in a long-term supply contract for liquefied natural gas, but he rejected the offer stating “I don’t want to deal with these guys, because of what they are doing,” questioning “How is it possible to pay $1 less than the rest of the market? What is the trick?”

In response to the news, Venture’s stock price declined from $19.68 per share on February 5, 2025, to $17.48 per share on February 6, 2025.
