DEADLINE ALERT – SUNRUN INC. – Brower Piven Reminds Investors Of Upcoming Deadline And Encourages Shareholders Who Have Losses In Excess Of $100,000 To Contact The Firm – RUN


STEVENSON, Md., June 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of Sunrun Inc. (Nasdaq:RUN) (“Sunrun” or the “Company”) common stock pursuant or traceable to the Company’s Registration Statement and its Prospectus issued in connection with the Company’s Initial Public Offering (the “Offering” or “IPO”), which commenced on or about August 5, 2015. Investors with losses in excess of $100,000 who wish to become proactively involved in the litigation have until July 5, 2016 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff.

If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Sunrun common stock during the IPO. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. No class has yet been certified in the above action.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Act of 1933 for failure to disclose in connection with the Company’s IPO that (1) Sunrun’s actual historical operating costs were being understated by not identifying and disclosing the fixed grid costs being borne for it by public utilities where net metering programs were being employed; (2) Sunrun had been charging well above wholesale rates for the electricity it was selling to its net metering customers; (3) contrary to having listed customers dispersed across 15 states and the District of Columbia in its Registration Statement, 20% of its customers were concentrated in Nevada alone; (4) Sunrun’s ability to continue to convince customers to sign 20-year contracts—which lowers the fixed costs for installing solar systems on those customers’ houses—was in jeopardy due to the ongoing regulatory review of net metering programs in 20 of the 40 states that then permitted net metering; and (5) that Sunrun overstated the value of its retained assets by using an unreasonably low discount rate.

According to the complaint, following the revelation, during the eight months following the August 5, 2015 offering, that Sunrun relied on complex debt arrangements to fund its growth and could not sustain forecast revenues, the value of Sunrun shares declined significantly.
