SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Lowey Dannenberg, P.C., Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Plug Power Inc. and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm

NEW YORK, April 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lowey Dannenberg P.C., a preeminent law firm in obtaining redress for consumers and investors, is investigating claims of violations of federal securities laws on behalf of investors of Plug Power Inc. (“Plug Power” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PLUG).

Plug Power is a developer of hydrogen fuel cell solutions focused on electric motors. According to a recently filed complaint, the Company and its senior management failed to disclose to investors that Plug Power suffered from material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting, including with respect to the classification of certain costs and the recoverability of the right to use assets with certain leases.

The truth regarding Plug Power's weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting was revealed on March 2, 2021, when the Company filed a Notification of Late Filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. In that filing, Plug Power stated that it could not timely file its annual report for the period ended December 31, 2020 because it was completing a "review and assessment of the treatment of certain costs with regards to classification between Research and Development versus Costs of Goods Sold, the recoverability of right of use assets associated with certain leases, and certain internal controls over these and other areas." On this news, shares fell $3.68 per share, or 7%, to close at $48.78 on March 2, 2021.

Thereafter, on March 16, 2021, Plug Power announced that it would restate its financial statements for fiscal years 2018 and 2019, as well as quarterly reports for 2019 and 2020. By March 17, shares had declined to a closing price of $39.33 per share, down from a March 1 closing price of $52.46 per share.

If you purchased Plug Power securities between November 9, 2020 and March 1, 2021, inclusive, you have until May 7, 2021 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class.
