According to the Complaint, Flex purportedly provides design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain
services and solutions.
On May 8, 2018, Plaintiff's law firm issued a press release announcing the filing of the lawsuit. According to the law firm press release, on April 26, 2018, Flex issued a press release disclosing allegations by a former employee that the Company improperly accounted for obligations in a customer contract and certain related reserves. The Company further announced that its Audit Committee was undertaking an investigation of the matter with the assistance of independent outside counsel. On this news, Flex’s share price fell $3.61, or 21.7%, to close at $13.03 per share on April 27, 2018, thereby injuring investors.
The Complaint filed in this class action alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose: (1) that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were materially weak and deficient; (2) that the Company had improperly accounted for obligations in a customer contract and certain related reserves; and, (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s financial statements and Defendants’ statements about Flex’s business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
