Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose: (1) that the Company was experiencing a large decline in high throughput sequencing instrument sales; (2) that the decline was negatively impacting the Company’s revenue; (3) that the Company lacked visibility into trends that could have a substantial impact on the Company’s financial results; (4) that, as such, the Company’s revenue guidance was unreliable and overstated; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about Illumina’s business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
