Case Background:
On May 11, 2021 the initial complaint in this securities class action was filed against PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (“PureCycle” or the “Company”) and certain of PureCycle’s directors and officers, asserting violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act. This is a federal securities class action brought on behalf of all investors who purchased or acquired PureCycle securities between November 16, 2020 through May 5, 2021, (“Class Period”) both dates inclusive.
