PHILADELPHIA, April 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kaskela Law LLC announces that a shareholder class action lawsuit has been filed against XL Fleet Corp. (XL Fleet or the Company) (NYSE: XL), formerly known as Pivotal Investment Corp. II (Pivotal) (NYSE: PIC), on behalf of investors who purchased or acquired XL or PIC securities between October 2, 2020 and March 2, 2021 (the Class Period).

On September 18, 2020, Pivotal, a publicly traded Special Purpose Acquisition Company, announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to merge with XL. According to the complaint, in connection with the proposed transaction, Pivotal filed a defective Registration Statement with the SEC which contained numerous materially false and misleading statements about XL Fleets business, operations, and prospects. Following the filing of the Registration Statement, shares of the Companys stock increased in value to over $32.00 per share by December 23, 2020.

On March 3, 2021, Muddy Waters published a report entitled XL Fleet Corp. (NYSE: XL): More SPAC Trash, alleging, among other things, that salespeople were pressured to inflate their sales pipelines materially in order to mislead XLs board and investors and that customer reorder rates are in reality quite low due to poor performance and regulatory issues. Citing interviews with former employees, the report also alleged that at least 18 of 33 customers XL featured were inactive.Following this report, shares of the Companys stock fell over 34% in value over the following week, to close at $10.48 per share on March 8, 2020.

XL Fleet investors who purchased or acquired PIC or XL securities prior to December 7, 2020 are encouraged to contact Kaskela Law LLC (D.
