About this case

What is GreenSky? Well, it depends on who you ask. In some of its promotional material they state that they “paperless solutions and financial services to businesses of all sizes,” which is cool-- CCC provides solutions too! Wikipedia claims that GreenSky “provides technology to banks and merchants to make loans to consumers for home improvement, solar, healthcare and other purposes” which is more specific but trails off into vague. This question, “what is GreenSky and what does it do?” is in fact the basis of the plaintiff’s complaint—it was not clear, they claim, in the company’s offering documents.

The name GreenSky implies environmentally friendly energy technologies, which according to the class action complaint is how the company began:

“GreenSky has traditionally catered to home improvement and solar energy businesses. GreenSky charged its solar panel merchants substantially higher transaction fees relative to other merchants. GreenSky typically charged its solar panel merchants a 14% transaction fee, while charging other merchants a 7% transaction fee on average. GreenSky has begun to expand its reach in the elective healthcare market, in which it charges lower-than-average transaction fees. GreenSky has simultaneously begun phasing out of its relationships with solar panel merchants. The Offering Documents failed to disclose the substantial change in the composition of GreenSky’s merchant business mix and the resulting diminution in transaction-fee revenue.”

Plaintiffs alleged that the offering documents  and other statements were “false and misleading because [they] characterize[d] GreenSky’s fee revenue model as ‘strong’ and ‘recurring’ even as the Company was winding down its solar panel business and ramping up its activity in the elective healthcare market… Though the IPO took place [on May 28, 2018] after the strategic decision to move away from solar and focus on healthcare, the financial effects of that shift were not disclosed in the Offering Documents. On November 6, 2018 [after the company released its financial results], GreenSky’s stock price plummeted to $9.28 per share, sharply down from the IPO price of $23.00 per share and post-offering high of $26.77 per share.”

Defendants deny “each and all” of the allegations.
