Class Action Lawsuit

 

On February 5, 2024, a class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California by Eric White against Brooge Energy Limited. The class action complaint contains substantial allegations concerning the materially false and misleading statements issued during the class period similar to those addressed in the Order Instituting Cease and Desist Proceedings, Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Cease-And-Desist Orders entered by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on December 22, 2023 In The Matter of Brooge Energy Limited. Since the filing of the first amended complaint, Neil Richardson and Stephen N. Cannon have been voluntarily dismissed, the district court granted Brooge’s motion to postpone the disposition of defendants’ motions to dismiss pending the plaintiff’s service of the remaining defendants, and counsel for Saleh Yammout accepted service of the first amended complaint on his behalf.

 

The exposure amount cannot be reliably assessed at this stage. Accordingly, no provisions have been made related to this lawsuit in these consolidated financial statements.
