According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or
failed to disclose that: (1) a major customer was reducing its purchases of Applied Optoelectronics’ 40G receivers; (2) the loss of
this major customer’s business would have a severe negative impact on Applied Optoelectronics’ financial performance; and (3) as a
result, Applied Optoelectronics’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true
details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
