According to the lawsuit, Defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Defendants engaged in trading to artificially inflate Agria’s stock price in order to meet NYSE’s continuing listing standards and avoid delisting from the NYSE; (2) Agria lacked effective internal controls over financial reporting; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ public statements about Agira’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
