PREVIOUS UPDATE

Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action adversary proceeding complaint on June 12, 2025, against Powin, LLC, Powin Energy Operating Holdings, LLC, and Powin Energy Operating, LLC (“Defendants”). We seek to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for terminated employees under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act.

We contend Defendants terminated employees without cause as part of, or as the result of, mass layoffs or plant closings ordered by Defendants beginning on or about June 6, 2025, without providing 60 days’ written notice as required by the WARN Act.

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (Trenton) is adjudicating this class action.
