Finkelstein Thompson LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Canadian Solar, Inc. ("Canadian Solar" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:CSIQ). Finkelstein Thompson is investigating similar claims at this time.

On June 1, 2010, Canadian Solar announced that it would postpone the release of its full financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 and its quarterly conference call, scheduled for June 2, 2010, for reasons related to a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") requesting documents from the Company concerning, among other things, certain sales transactions in 2009. In response to this news, Canadian Solar shares plummeted more than 14% on unusually heavy volume to close at $10.17 per share on June 2, 2010. According to the filed Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that, among other things: (1) the Company was uncertain whether the Company would receive full payments from certain customers; (2) certain goods were subsequently returned after the quarter end; and (3) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls.
