CASE ALLEGATIONS: NET Power operates as an energy technology company.  According to the complaint, NET Power conducts research and equipment validation testing campaigns as part of its efforts to develop its first utility-scale plant at its facility located in La Porte, Texas, which NET Power variably refers to as "Project Permian."

The NET Power class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) NET Power was unlikely to complete Project Permian on schedule, and the project was likely to be significantly more expensive than defendants had represented, because of, among other things, supply chain issues and numerous site- and region-specific challenges; (ii) accordingly, defendants' projections regarding the time and capital needed to complete Project Permian were unrealistic; and (iii) the increased time and capital needed to complete Project Permian were likely to have a significant negative impact on NET Power's business and financial results.

The NET Power class action lawsuit further alleges that on November 14, 2023, NET Power announced its third quarter 2023 results, disclosing that "[d]ue to . . . tightness in the global supply chain, we are incorporating a 12-month cushion into our expected schedule for Project Permian" with defendants "now expecting to achieve initial power generation sometime between the second half of 2027 and first half of 2028" – a significant delay from defendants' initial schedule to have the plant operational by 2026.  On this news, the price of NET Power stock fell more than 18%, according to the complaint.

Then, on March 10, 2025, the NET Power class action lawsuit alleges that NET Power announced its fourth quarter and full year 2024 results, disclosing that NET Power "now estimates Project Permian's total installed cost to be between $1.7 billion and $2.0 billion" – significantly higher than its last estimate of $1.1 billion – "which is inclusive of non-recurring first-of-a-kind, Project Permian site-specific and owner costs," advising that "there are a number of site- and region-specific challenges which impact cost."  The complaint further alleges that NET Power further advised that Project Permian "would come online no earlier than 2029," representing a significant delay from its prior timeline of sometime between the second half of 2027 and first half of 2028.  On this news, the price of NET Power stock fell more than 31%, according to the NET Power class action lawsuit.

Finally, the NET Power class action lawsuit alleges that on April 15, 2025, NET Power announced that its President and Chief Operating Officer ("COO"), defendant Brian Allen, and Chief Financial Officer, defendant Akash Patel, would depart NET Power on May 1, 2025, and that NET Power had appointed a new COO, effective immediately.  On this news, the price of NET Power stock fell nearly 6%, according to the complaint.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired NET Power securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the NET Power class action lawsuit.  A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class.  A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the NET Power class action lawsuit.  The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the NET Power class action lawsuit.  An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the NET Power class action lawsuit.
