CASE ALLEGATIONS: Allianz together with its subsidiaries, provides property-casualty insurance, life/health insurance, and asset management products and services worldwide. Allianz Global Investors U.S. LLC (“Allianz US”) is a subsidiary of Allianz.
The Allianz class action lawsuit alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Allianz did not have effective internal controls; (ii) Allianz’s subsidiary was involved in substantial fraudulent activity; (iii) as a result, Allianz was at an increased risk of regulatory scrutiny; and (iv) as a result, Allianz was at an increased risk of substantial losses and financial costs.
On February 17, 2022, Allianz announced that “in light of current discussions with U.S. governmental authorities, Allianz today decided to book a provision of EUR 3.7 billion in the financial statements 2021.” On this news, Allianz’s American depositary receipt (“ADR”) price fell.
Then, on March 4, 2022, Allianz filed its annual report for the year 2021, which stated that “[u]pon request from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), AllianzGI U.S. has provided substantial information to the SEC in connection with an SEC investigation of the Funds, and Allianz is fully cooperating with the SEC’s ongoing investigation. In addition, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is continuing its investigation concerning the Funds, and AllianzGI U.S. is also fully cooperating with the DOJ in the investigation and is continuing its own review of the matter.” On this news, Allianz’s ADR price fell by more than 4%.
Finally, on May 17, 2022, the SEC issued a press release entitled “SEC Charges Allianz Global Investors and Three Former Senior Portfolio Managers with Multibillion Dollar Securities Fraud.” That same day, the DOJ issued a press release entitled “Three Portfolio Managers And Allianz Global Investors U.S. Charged In Connection with Multibillion-Dollar Fraud Scheme.” On this news, Allianz’s ADR price fell 2.6% the next full trading day, further damaging investors.
THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Allianz publicly traded securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Allianz class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Allianz class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Allianz class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Allianz class action lawsuit.
