According to the complaint the plaintiff alleges that certain of Fleetwood Enterprises Inc’s former executives violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by issuing between December 6, 2007 and March 10, 2009 numerous positive statements regarding Fleetwood Enterprises Inc’s financial condition, business and prospects, that were materially false and misleading because defendants failed to disclose adverse facts. Fleetwood Enterprises Inc is not named as a defendant because it and its core operating subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2009. Then on March 10, 2009, Fleetwood Enterprises Inc issued a press release announcing that it had “filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions for itself and certain operating subsidiaries in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California.” Fleetwood Enterprises Inc also announced that it was closing its travel trailer division. As a direct result of information disclosed in March 2009, the price of Fleetwood Enterprises Inc common stock fell precipitously, falling to $0.0103 per share on March 10, 2009, so the lawsuit.
Fleetwood Enterprises Inc, located in Riverside, California, is engaged in producing both recreational vehicles and manufactured housing. The company also operates three supply companies that provide components for the recreational vehicle and housing operations, while also generating outside sales.
