According to a press release dated November 6, 2009, the Complaint charges Limited Brands and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Exchange Act. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made numerous positive statements regarding the Company’s financial condition, business and prospects. The Complaint further alleges that these statements were materially false and misleading when made because Defendants failed to disclose adverse events surrounding the development of a new warehouse and certain technology.
