About the Lawsuit
Amira and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
The lawsuit alleges in part, that: (i) Amira fraudulently overstated its Indian-produced basmati rice exports, thereby overstating revenues in 2013 and 2014; (ii) Amira concealed that many of its counterparties are secretly related parties, including its largest customer, one of its largest suppliers, a potential counterparty to a $30 million transaction to buy land, and over a dozen others; (iii) Amira's Chief Executive Officer used company money to pay his own personal household expenses, including salaries for a personal house manager and a chef for his farmhouse.
On February 9, 2015, Prescience Point Research Group released a report containing these allegations. Following the report, the price of Amira's stock plummeted by over 25%.
