According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges that certain of VeraSun Energy’s former
executives violated the Exchange Act by failing to disclose between March 12, 2008 and September 16, 2008 material adverse facts about the VeraSun Energy Corp.’s true financial condition, business and prospects. Then on September 16, 2008, VeraSun Energy Corp. announced that it commenced a public offering of 20 million shares of its common stock to raise money for “general corporate purposes.” The true purpose of this public offering was to raise capital in an effort to prevent a disastrous impact from the huge losses experienced by VeraSun Energy Corp. as a result of its speculative trading and risky bets on the price of corn, so the lawsuit. In response to VeraSun Energy Corp.’s announcement on September 16, 2008, shares of the Company’s stock fell $3.81 per share, or 70%, from a close of $5.22 per share before the announcement, to close at $1.41 per share on September 17, 2008, on extremely heavy trading volume. On October 31, 2008 VeraSun Energy filed for bankruptcy protection.
