According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and misleading
statements and failed to disclose adverse information about Five Below’s
business and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the
Company concealed from investors that its two founders intended to step
down as CEO and Chairman. At the same time that the Company was
concealing this material fact, it raised its fiscal 2014 sales and
earnings guidance twice. With the Company’s stock trading at inflated
prices due to the omissions and misrepresentations, both of Five Below’s
founders and its CFO took advantage, and sold $30 million worth of their
personally held shares at fraud-inflated prices.
On December 4, 2014, Five Below disclosed that its sales growth had
slowed and that it was reducing its sales and profit forecasts. On the
same day, the Company’s two founders also announced their resignations
as CEO and Chairman. On this news, the price of Five Below stock fell
and closed down 21% from its Class Period high.
