NO CLASS HAS YET BEEN CERTIFIED IN THE ABOVE ACTION. UNTIL A CLASS IS CERTIFIED, YOU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL UNLESS YOU RETAIN ONE. YOU MAY ALSO REMAIN AN ABSENT CLASS MEMBER AND DO NOTHING AT THIS POINT. YOU MAY RETAIN COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE.

According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Ferrellgas' propane sales were declining; (2) Ferrellgas' midstream logistics business was being negatively impacted by low crude oil prices; (3) as such, Ferrellgas' Adjusted EBITDA would fall below the Ferrellgas' projections; (4) Ferrellgas was becoming more and more leveraged; (5) in turn, Ferrellgas would need to obtain an amendment under the secured credit facility and accounts receivable securitization facility to increase the maximum leverage ratio to a range of 5.95x to 6.05x; (6) as a result, Ferrellgas would likely need to reduce its dividend; and (7) as a result, Defendants' statements about Ferrellgas' business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. The lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages when these details entered the market.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 5, 2016.
