On November 4, 2019, Pattern Energy Group and private equity firm Thoma Bravo LLC (“Thoma Bravo”) announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Thomas Bravo will acquire Pattern Energy Group in a merger worth $6.1 billion (the “Merger). As a result of the Merger, Pattern Energy Group shareholders are only anticipated to receive $26.75 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Pattern Energy Group.

A Pattern Energy Group shareholder represented by another law firm has filed a class action complaint against Pattern Energy Group for federal securities violations.  The complaint was filed in the United States District Court, District of Delaware, Case No. 19-cv-02360-UNA.

According to the lawsuit, which was filed on December 27, 2019, defendants filed a proxy statement (the “Proxy”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with the Merger.

The Proxy omits material information with respect to the Merger, which renders the Proxy false and misleading. Accordingly, plaintiff seeks that the Merger should be enjoined until defendants disclose more information to stockholders.
