According to the Complaint, during the Class Period, Defendants issued materially false and misleading statements that misrepresented and failed to disclose: (a) that Hansen Natural's second quarter sales results were materially impacted by inventory loading as customers were induced to purchase more product before the Company raised its prices in its Monster Energy drink line and its Java Monster drink line; (b) that the Company was experiencing declining sales in its non-core drink lines; (c) that the Company was experiencing production shortfalls with its Java Monster drink line; and (d) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the Company and its prospects.
