The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational and compliance policies.  Specifically, the Offering Documents and Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company engaged in fraudulent practices, including forging customer contracts; (ii) as a result, the Company's reported sales and megawatts installed were overstated; (iii) these practices were reasonably likely to lead to regulatory scrutiny; (iv) as a result, the Company's earnings would be materially and adversely impacted; and (v) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On September 27, 2019, Marcus Aurelius Value published a report alleging that "28 undisclosed lawsuits . . . specifically allege Vivint forged customer contracts or otherwise engaged in fraud or deception."
