Background on the Linn Energy Securities Class Litigation
The complaint charges Linn Energy and certain of its officers with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Linn Energy is an independent oil and natural gas development company that works to acquire, develop, and maximize cash flow from its portfolio of long-life oil and natural gas assets. Linn Energy became a publicly-traded entity in 2006, when it issued ?units? representing its limited liability company interests.
The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, defendants issued materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about Linn Energy?s operations and business. Specifically, defendants fraudulently misrepresented the true risks associated with Linn Energy?s ability to continue to issue stable or increasing cash distributions. Defendants allegedly did so by disseminating key financial metrics to investors that deceptively excluded the cost of options the Company used to hedge against fluctuations in the price of oil and natural gas, but included the proceeds it received from the sale or exercise of such options.
When the calculation of these financial metrics, and, consequently, the true risks associated with the Company?s ability to continue to issue stable or increasing distributions, became known to the marketplace, the price of Linn Energy units declined significantly. On July 1, 2013 the Company disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Commission opened an informal inquiry into the Company?s use of non-GAAP measures and hedging strategy. On this news, the price of Linn Energy units dropped $6.24 per unit, or nearly 19%, to close at $27.05 per unit on July 2, 2013. The following day, the price of Linn Energy units declined an additional $4.26 per unit, or nearly 16%, to close at $22.79 per unit on July 3, 2013.
