Investor Alert: Class Action Filed on Behalf of Investors in Ocean Power Tech; Holzer & Holzer Investigating Expanded Class Period

Holzer & Holzer, LLC announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of investors who purchased Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (“Ocean Power” or the “Company”) OPTT common stock between January 14, 2014 and June 9, 2014. The complaint alleges that Ocean Power issued misleading statements regarding an agreement between the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and the Company's subsidiary, Victorian Wave Partners Pty Ltd. in connection with the Company's plans to develop and deploy certain PowerBuoys. On June 10, 2014, Ocean Power announced that Charles F. Dunleavy, the Company's chief executive officer, had been terminated and its Board of Directors was initiating an investigation into the agreement.

On July 14, 2014, Ocean Power revealed that their plan to deploy the PowerBuoys “was no longer commercially viable” and, as a result, it was terminating the agreement with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. The price of Ocean Power stock fell dramatically on the news.

If you purchased Ocean Energy common stock between January 14, 2014 and July 14, 2014, particularly in connection with the Company's April 3, 2014 stock offering, and are interested in your legal rights, you are encouraged to contact Marshall P.
