According to the Complaint, the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: 1) defendants were engaged in a fraudulent and illegal price-fixing conspiracy; (2) Patterson's revenue and earnings were fraudulently inflated by the illegal scheme; (3) the scheme was aimed at prohibiting sales to and price negotiations by group purchasing organizations which represented small and independent dental practices; (4) as a result, defendants' statements about Patterson's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and/or misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the truth was revealed to the investing public, shares dropped, causing shareholders harm.
