The original Complaint alleges that Let's Talk Cellular and certain of its officers violated Sections 10 (b) and 20 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. According to the Complaint, during the Class Period defendants artificially inflated the price of Let's Talk Cellular common stock by disseminating materially false and misleading statements, and omitting to state material facts, regarding wholesale and retail revenues as well as integration costs related to acquired companies. The complaint alleges that, among other things, defendants omitted to disclose that: (i) Let's Talk Cellular had been experiencing a material softness in retail and wholesale sales; (ii) sales were being adversely impacted by undisclosed changes in Let's Talk Cellular's incentive pay system; and (iii) Let's Talk Cellular was incurring material additional costs due to delays in the integration of acquired companies. The Complaint also alleges that during the Class Period, while the price of Let's Talk Cellular common stock was artificially inflated by defendants' materially misleading statements and omissions, that each of the two named defendants sold 87,000 shares of Let's Talk Cellular common stock for gross proceeds exceeding $1.2 million.
