The filed Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company’s business, operations and prospects. As a result of defendants’ alleged  false and misleading statements,  the Company’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.
