Teamsters Local 710 Pension Fund sued York Space Systems in federal court in Colorado on Oct. 19.[1] It alleges York's IPO registration statement omitted a Pentagon decision against funding Tranche 3 of the Space Development Agency's Transport Layer in the proposed fiscal 2026 budget.[1]

The complaint puts that decision before an offering that it says raised $629 million in gross proceeds.[1] It says the Space Development Agency historically accounted for substantially all of York's revenue and backlog.[1]

The fund alleges the Pentagon had decided against the funding by 2025, due at least in material part to York's inadequate performance.[1]

Defendants include private equity firm AE Industrial Partners, which owned York through affiliates before the IPO, and IPO underwriters including Goldman Sachs, Jefferies and Wells Fargo.[1]

A complaint dated Aug. 31 alleges a Space Force budget released in April revealed an immediate halt to third-tranche Transport Layer payments.[3] That complaint alleges York failed to disclose that onboard mission and payload software was not fully functional before satellites launched.[3]

Lead-plaintiff motions are due Oct. 30, according to plaintiff counsel Robbins Geller.[2]

## Why it matters

The Teamsters fund's disclosure argument extends to an alleged funding decision in a proposed budget before congressional appropriation.[1] It argues SEC Regulation S-K Item 303 required disclosure of known trends or uncertainties before the offering.[1]
