Background on the Lordstown Securities Class Litigation
Lordstown, headquartered in Lordstown, Ohio, is an automotive company founded for the purpose of developing and manufacturing light duty electric trucks targeted for sale to fleet customers. Its flagship product, the Endurance, is an electric pickup truck. The actions claim that, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the number of Endurance pre-orders was fabricated, and thus inflated, and did not accurately reflect demand; (2) purported customers lacked the means to fulfill their pre-orders; (3) the Company faced undisclosed production hurdles that would continue to delay production and delivery of the Endurance; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Lordstown's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On March 12, 2021, before the market opened, Hindenburg Research reported that "Lordstown is an electric vehicle SPAC with no revenue and no sellable product, which we believe has misled investors on both its demand and production capabilities." According to the report, while Lordstown consistently pointed to its book of 100,000 pre-orders as proof of strong demand for its Endurance pickup truck, Hindenburg's "conversations with former employees, business partners and an extensive document review show that the company's orders are largely fictitious and used as a prop to raise capital and confer legitimacy." On this news, the price of Lordstown common stock fell approximately 16.5%, from its closing price of $17.71 on March 11, 2021, to close at $14.78 on March 12, 2021.
On March 17, 2021, following the close of the market, Lordstown's CEO, defendant Stephen Burns, revealed that the Company was under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, a disclosure absent from its fourth quarter and 2020 earnings reports. On this news, the price of Lordstown common stock fell approximately 14%, from its closing price of $15.09 on March 17, 2021, to close at $13.01 on March 18, 2021. The next day Burns announced on national television that "We never said we had orders. We don't have a product yet so by definition you can't have orders."
