According to the press release dated December 15, 2009, the Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Defendants issued a series of false and misleading statements and/or concealed material adverse facts regarding the Company’s business and prospects. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that Defendants’ statements misrepresented and failed to disclose the following adverse facts: (a) the Company was losing customers at a higher rate than previously experienced and was failing to add new customers due to increased competition; (b) the Company’s average revenue per user was lower than expected due to an increase in promotional activity; (c) the Company’s increase in subscribers in the first quarter was due to a promotion whereby customers received the first month free and could cancel without penalty; (d) the reported new subscriber numbers were artificially inflated by the inclusion of upgraded subscribers as new additions; (e) the costs of acquiring new customers was increasing due to an intensification of the Company’s marketing campaigns in the Northeast market along with its promotional activities; and (f) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about the Company and its prospects.

In response to the lowered guidance, the price of MetroPCS stock fell $0.61 per share, or 9%, to close at $6.01 per share.
