Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants violated section 12(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77(l)(a)(1), by failing to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the public offering of the Hotel Units. The complaint also alleges that defendant WCI Communities Inc violated section 15 of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. § 77o, by controlling the operations of its wholly owned subsidiary, defendant Singer Island Resort, in offering the Hotel Units for sale without registering them with the SEC. The plaintiffs seek to rescind their acquisition of the Hotel Units and/or rescissory or other damages in an amount to be proven at trial.
