The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (a) the tax treatment for its sale of the Trust Certificate of NC Residuals Owners Trust and similar securities was inappropriate; (b) as a result of the improper tax treatment, First Marblehead was exposed to substantial liability; (c) the Company lacked adequate internal controls; and (d) as a result, First Marblehead's financial statements were misleading during the Class Period.
On August 15, 2013, FMD announced that the tax liability related to its IRS audit would amount to $300 million. In reaction to this adverse news, FMD's stock price fell 36% to close at $1.00 per share the following day.
