Event Summary

Kate Richard, a publicly traded energy technology and services company, announced on August 3, 2026, that it had been awarded a 10-year agreement to support a 400 MW natural gas-fired power generation project for the United States — Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), expecting approximately $400 million in revenue backlog. On August 17, 2026, Wolfpack Research published a report alleging that the $400 million contract with PREPA, accounting for about 57% of Flotek's backlog, had been canceled. Following this report, Flotek's stock price fell $7.17, or 20.01%, to close at $28.66 per share. Over the next two trading days, Flotek revealed that PREPA had terminated the power purchase and operating agreement effective immediately. Subsequently, shareholder rights law firm Robbins LLP filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who purchased Flotek securities between August 3 and August 17, 2026, alleging that Flotek misled investors by failing to disclose credible doubts about the consortium parties' experience, organization, and financial capacity for the PREPA project, and that positive statements about the company's business were materially misleading. The lead plaintiff deadline is October 26, 2026.
