The complaint alleges that defendants during the Class Period made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Citizens employees were falsifying information related to the Citizens Checkup program; (2) in turn, Citizens’ reported Citizens Checkup figures were inflated; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about Citizens’ business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. On March 29, 2017, the Wall Street Journal reported that certain Citizens employees admitted that Citizens employees faked “financial checkup” meetings with customers. On this news, shares of Citizens declined, damaging investors.
