IMPORTANT RENTECH, INC. INVESTOR ALERT: Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP announces that a securities class action lawsuit has been filed in the Eastern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of Rentech, Inc.

NEW YORK, March 02, 2017 -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP   announces that a federal securities class announces that a  class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for  the  Eastern  District  of   New  York   on  behalf  of   purchasers  of  Rentech, Inc. (Nasdaq:RTK) (“Rentech” or  the “Company”) securities  during the  period between November  9,  2016  and  February  20,  2017,  inclusive  (the  “Class Period”).

Investors who have incurred losses in shares of Rentech, Inc. are urged to contact the firm immediately at [email protected] or (800) 575-0735 or (212) 545-4774. You may obtain additional information concerning the action on our website, www.whafh.com. 

If   you  have  purchased  shares of Rentech, Inc. within the class  period and would like to assist with the litigation process, you may, no later than April 24, 2017, request that the Court appoint you lead plaintiff of the proposed class.

According to the filed  lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Rentech’s resources were not sufficient to overcome any operating challenges and remaining bottleneck at the Wawa facility; (2) consequently, the Wawa facility would not reach approximately 60% of production capacity within the next couple quarters and achieve full capacity in the range of 400,000 to 450,000 metric tons late in the year; (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about Rentech’s business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

On February 21, 2017, Rentech announced its decision to idle the Wawa facility due to equipment and operational issues that would require additional unbudgeted capital investment. On this news, shares of Rentech fell $1.31 per share or over 47% from its previous closing price to close at $1.44 per share on February 21, 2017, damaging investors.
