NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT AND REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER.
The Complaint alleges that Alternate Energy and certain of its officers and directors misrepresented the Company's business condition, manipulated its stock price, and concealed secret profits that were reaped by the Company's CEO, Donald L. Gillispie ("Gillispie"), and its Senior Vice President of Administration, Jennifer Ransom ("Ransom").
In particular, the Complaint asserts that Gillispie, with the aid of Ransom, engaged in a scheme to manipulate and artificially inflate the market price of Alternate Energy stock by (1) paying stock promoters to create artificial demand in the marketplace through end of day stock purchases; (2) misrepresenting that the Company's officers and directors never sold any shares of the Company's stock; and (3) misrepresenting the Company's true financial condition and potential business prospects. On December 16, 2010, the United States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC") filed a lawsuit against Alternate Energy, Gillispie, and Ransom. Two days prior, on December 14, 2010, the SEC issued an order temporarily suspending trading of the Company's common stock. As a result of the alleged fraud, Alternate Energy's shareholders have been damaged.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than March 8, 2011.
