(``GT Solar'' or ``the Company'') (NasdaqGS:SOLR - News) common stock pursuant or traceable to the Company's false and misleading Registration Statement and Prospectus (collectively, the ``Registration Statement'') issued in connection with its July 23, 2008 initial public offering (``IPO'') for violations of the federal securities laws.

The complaint alleges that on July 23, 2008, GT Solar accomplished its IPO of 30.3 million shares at $16.50 per share for net proceeds of $500 million, pursuant to the Registration Statement (the ``Offering''). The proceeds from the Offering went to GT Solar Holdings, LLC (``GT Solar Holdings''). GT Solar Holdings intended to use the net proceeds it received via the Offering to make a distribution to its shareholders. In its first day of trading, GT Solar closed at $14.59 per share on July 24, 2008.

The following day, on July 25, 2008, before the market opened, LDK Solar Co., LTD (``LDK''), GT Solar's largest customer, issued a press release announcing that it had signed a contract to purchase production equipment from one of GT Solar's competitors. On this news, GT Solar's stock price declined to as low as $9.30 per share before closing at $12.59 per share on July 25, 2008, losing 13% of its value in its second day of trading.
