Case Status:    DISMISSED    
On or around 12/12/2016 (Date of order of final judgment)

Filing Date: July 25, 2013

JAKKS Pacific Inc. ("JAKKS") is an American company that designs and markets toys and consumer product under multiple brands.

According to the law firm press release, the Complaint alleges that JAKKS and certain of its officers and directors issued materially false and misleading statements about the Company’s financial condition and prospects. On July 17, 2013, JAKKS announced its second quarter financial results, significantly missing the Company’s previously issued guidance, which had been recently reaffirmed in April 2013. JAKKS’ second quarter results included charges for license minimum guarantee shortfalls of $14.1 million and inventory impairment of $12.2 million. JAKKS noted that poor performance of several of the Company’s key properties contributed to the shortfall. As a result, JAKKS revised 2013 guidance from earnings of $0.63- $0.68/share to a loss of $2.56/share. JAKKS also suspended its dividend. This news caused JAKKS shares to lose over 39% of its value on July 18, 2013.

An amended Complaint was filed on January 17, 2014.

A second amended Complaint was filed on July 8, 2014.

A third amended Complaint was filed on March 23, 2015.

On November 18, 2016, the Court issued an Order granting Defendants' Motion to Dismiss with prejudice. Judgment was entered on December 12.
