According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or
failed to disclose that: (1) certain of Applied Optoelectronics’ lasers were susceptible to failing prematurely; (2) certain of
Applied Optoelectronics’ transceivers which utilized these lasers would be materially affected; and (3) as a result of the
foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Applied Optoelectronics’ business, operations, and prospects, were materially
misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered
damages.
