The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the greatest financial interest in the class action appeal, which is appropriate and typical of the class directing and overseeing the litigation on behalf of the alleged class action. Either member of the alleged group can have the court lead plaintiff through an attorney of their choosing, or they can choose not to do anything and remain an absent member of the group. Your ability to participate in a recovery will not be affected by your decision to be the lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information about Generac’s conduct to contact the company, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders, and others.
