About the Lawsuit

Cobalt, certain of its executives, and the underwriters of the Offerings are charged with failing to disclose material information in connection with the offerings and during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

The action alleges that Cobalt obtained access to its wells in Angola by partnering with shell companies in Angola that were partially owned by high-level Angolan officials, putting the Company at serious risk of enforcement action by the SEC and U.S. Department of Justice for violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the federal securities laws. The action also alleges that Cobalt misrepresented the value of its wells in Angola. Cobalt's alleged misrepresentations inflated the value of Cobalt stock, and when the truth was revealed, the value of the Company's stock plummeted.
