The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of all those who purchased common shares of Pattern Energy between May 9, 2016 and November 4, 2016 (the "Class Period").

Specifically, on November 7, 2016, Pattern Energy announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The Company disclosed a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting.
