The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain statements made in connection with Pacific Coast Oil Trust's September 19, 2013 secondary stock offering were materially false and misleading at the time they were made.

The lawsuit was filed against Pacific Coast Oil Trust (NYSE:ROYT) and certain of its executives and directors and each of the investment banks that acted as underwriters. The plaintiff claims Pacific Coast Oil Trust's IPO and Secondary Offering Registration Statements contained materially incorrect or misleading statements and/or omitted material information that was required to be disclosed. More specifically, the plaintiff alleges that Pacific Coast Oil Trust misstated the level and predictability of cash distributions that would be paid to unitholders, the need for capital expenditures, that the interests of Pacific Coast Energy Company and unitholders were aligned when, in fact, Pacific Coast Energy Company's overriding interest was to limit capital expenditures along with operating costs, and that Pacific Coast Energy Company was able to and would use its technical and operational expertise to manage and control the timing of expenses and capital expenditures for the benefit of unitholders.

On April 24, 2015, NYSE:ROYT shares closed at $4.25 per share.
