- that, as a result, the valuation attributed to certain of the Colony Credit's assets was overstated;
- that, certain of the assets contributed as part of the Merger were of substantially lower value than reflected in the financial statements made public by the Company and the registration statement;
- that, as a result, the financial condition of the Company's, such as its book value, was materially overstated; and
- that, as a result of the foregoing, the positive statements in the registration statement about the Colony Credit's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
