The lawsuit alleges that Just Energy failed to disclose that:
- the Company had experienced customer enrollment and nonpayment issues;
- as a result, the Company was reasonably likely to incur an impairment charge to its accounts receivable; and
- as a result, the Company lacked adequate internal control over its financial reporting.
On July 23, 2019, the Company disclosed that it had “identified customer enrollment and non-payment issues, primarily in Texas, over the past 12 months” and that, as a result, it expected an impairment charge of CAD $45 to $50 million to its Texas residential accounts receivable. On this news, the price of Just Energy shares fell $0.66, or 15%, to close at $3.72 on July 23, 2019.
