CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS
Ralcorp: Ralcorp. Holdings Inc. (Ralcorp) and its Board of Directors has been named in a putative shareholder class action lawsuit in Missouri Circuit Court alleging a breach of fiduciary duty to shareholders and violations of numerous state and federal laws (courthousenews.com/2011/09/19/Ralcorp.pdf”) (Cause No. 1122-CC09665) The allegations stem from Ralcorps allegedly unreasonable refusal of a proposed offer to acquire the company made by ConAgra Foods, Inc., even though the generous cash offer was well above Ralcorps market price.????
JinkoSolar Holdings Company: According to a report from (rechargenews.com/business_area/finance/article283338.ece) RechargeNews.com published on October 12, and as mentioned in Law360 (law360.com/newyork/articles/277274/jinkosolar-failed-to-disclose-sludge-dumping-investor) a class action lawsuit has been filed in U.S. District Court (Case No. 11-CV-7133), Southern District of New York, following a pollution incident at the companys primary cell manufacturing plant in Haining, China. The spill resulted in a massive die-off of fish in a river adjacent to the plant, and sparked protests by hundreds of local residents who eventually ransacked the facility. JinkoSolar Holdings took responsibility for the pollution incident. In the aftermath of the incident, shares in JinkoSolar Holdings lost 42% of their value in a single week.
Gentiva: According to a report from (zacks.com/stock/news/61914/Investors+Sue+Gentiva) Zacks Investment Research published on September 29, and listed in Reuters (reuters.com/finance/stocks/GTIV.O/key-developments?pn=1) Gentiva has been named in shareholder class action lawsuits (Case No. 10-CV-05064) alleging it did not disclose that the Company was increasing the frequency of in-home therapy visits in order to obtain higher reimbursement rates from the Medicare Home Health Prospective Payment System. According to the report, Gentivas practices are being investigated by the U.S. Senate Finance Committee and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The lawsuits claim that Gentiva experienced increasing revenue and advertised positive business condition and future prospects without disclosing that the Companys growth was largely due to the alleged ongoing Medicare fraud.????
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc.: Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc. (A&P) has been name in a class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey, alleging the Company failed to disclose that low-cost competitors such as Wal-Mart and Target were negatively impacting A&Ps financial stability (securities.stanford.edu/1047/GAPTQ00_01/ Case No. 11-CV-05196) The suit also claims that the Companys acquisition of Pathmark was detrimental because Pathmarks financial condition was much worse than what had been presented to investors. On December 10, 2010, A&P revealed the dire financial condition of the Company and informed investors that it would likely be forced to file for bankruptcy protection. Not surprisingly, A&P shares promptly nose-dived.
Sequans Communications: Sequans has been named in a shareholder class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, for allegedly misleading investors by advertising expected financial growth for 2011 based on the increasing demand for 4G technology (securities.stanford.edu/1047/SQNS00_01/201199_f01c_.pdf” Case No. 11-CV-06341). In fact, the Companys biggest customer, HTC, was not interested in Sequans technology. The lawsuit further alleges that Sequans also misled investors by advertising positive Company growth and future prospects, causing artificially inflated share prices.
Allos Therapeutics, Inc.: Allos is a biopharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes anti-cancer treatments. A class action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, District of Colorado, the Companys Board of Directors allegedly breached their fiduciary duty to shareholders and violated several state and federal laws concerning a proposed acquisition by AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMAG) for approximately $ 260 million (securities.stanford.edu/1047/ALTH00_01/2011923_f02k_1101895.pdf Case No. 11-CV-01895).????
Imperial Holdings, Inc.: Imperial and several of its executive officers are currently under investigation by the FBI concerning the Companys life finance business. The life finance practice involves purchasing life insurance policies at a deep discount in order to collect the payout at a later date. According to a (reuters.com/article/2011/09/28/us-imperial-idUSTRE78R3TE20110928) report from Reuters, the FBI raided the Imperial Florida offices on Tuesday, September 27, 2011.
Hewlett-Packard Co.: A class action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Central District of California, alleges the technology giant mismanaged the efficiency of the Company and failed to disclose several flaws in its business model (securities.stanford.edu/1047/HPQ00_01/2011913_f02c_1101404.pdf” Case No. 11-CV-01404). HP advertised that webOS would be an integral part of the Company, including running on the new HP TouchPad tablet PC in addition to all HP Pcs by 2012. Contrary to this claim, webOS was not central to the HP business model and would not be assimilated into the entire HP product line. Additionally, HP did not have grounds to publicize positive information about the Companys revenue growth, market share, new products, diluted EPS, and ability to adhere to its long-term growth model.
Bank of America Corporation: A class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, alleges BofA, one of the largest financial institutions in the world, misled investors by failing to disclose that the Company potentially owes American International Group, Inc. (AIG) a whopping $ 10 billion for residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) sold to AIG by BofAs subsidiaries, Merrill Lynch and Countrywide Financial Corporation between 2005 and 2007 (securities.stanford.edu/1047/BAC00_02/2011923_f01c_.pdf Case No. 11-CV-6678). This put BofA in serious danger of a lawsuit as a result of AIGs losses, a fact that was not revealed to shareholders. By not disclosing the potential suit, BofA experienced artificially inflated BAC stock prices. The alleged misconduct caught up with the Company when AIG filed suit against BofA on August 8, 2011 to recover its losses (nytimes.com/2011/08/08/business/aig-to-sue-bank-of-america-over-mortgage-bonds.html?pagewanted=all). BofA stock immediately dropped 20% from $ 8.17 per share to $ 6.51 in a mere day.????
