Volaris Misrepresents Its Business Practices
Since its September 18, 2013 IPO, American Depository Shares ("ADSs") of Volaris have dropped 23%, from $12.00 to $9.19, as of February 23, 2015. According to the complaint, on June 6, 2013, Volaris filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission that contained untrue statements and failed to disclose material information. Specifically, the registration statement contained financial statements that were in violation of applicable accounting standards and Volaris's publicly disclosed accounting practices. Additionally, Volaris failed to disclose the financial effects of switching to its new airline reservation system, and the expansion of competition in the Tijuana and Guadalajara markets.
