Patriot National, Inc. is a national provider of insurance solutions within the workers' compensation marketplace.

According to the law firm press release, the Complaint filed in this class action alleges throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by Defendant, and alleged related party transactions that served to benefit Defendant to the detriment of other Company shareholders. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that Defendants failed to disclose: (1) that the Patriot National special committee was beholden to Defendant; (2) that, as such, the special committee was operating for the benefit of Defendant, and not the Company or its shareholders; (3) that the special committee did not independently assess the merits of the Ebix transaction; (4) that the special committee was not exploring strategic alternatives in order to maximize shareholder value; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Patriot National’s business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
