The complaint alleges violations of Section 11 and Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 between November 7, 2007 and August 25, 2008, including allegations of material misrepresentations and omissions in Quest Energy Partners LP’s Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering (”IPO”) on November 7, 2007.
Quest Energy Partners LP and certain of its officers and a controlling entity are charged with including, or allowing the inclusion of, materially false and misleading statements in the Registration Statement and Prospectus issued in connection with the Quest Energy Partners LP’s IPO, in violation of the Securities Act of 1933. In particular, despite raising $150 million in its IPO, Quest Energy Partners LP failed to properly disclose related party transactions between its former CEO and an entity he controlled. On August 25, 2008 Quest Energy Partners LP announced the resignation of CEO Jerry Cash after the Oklahoma Department of Securities’ inquiry concerning, among other issues, questionable transfers of Quest Energy Partners LP funds to an entity Mr. Cash controlled. Quest Energy Partners LP announced the creation of a special committee to conduct an internal investigation. After these announcements, the price of Quest Energy Partners LP shares has fallen dramatically.
