According to the lawsuit, AAC Holdings and its executives made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information with respect to legal proceedings brought against its own subsidiaries and several former employess and one current employee. On July 29, 2015, AAC Holdings disclosed that the California Department of Justice indicted its president Jerrod Menz, another current employee, three former employees, and two subsidiaries for murder. Menz stepped down from his role as president and board member following the news. Additionally, new reports have surfaced that additional patients have died at AAC Holdings’ facilities but have not been disclosed by the Company.
On August 4, 2015, SeekingAlpha published an article asserting that AAC Holdings had reason to know in 2013 about the criminal investigation that led to the recent murder indictment, yet did not disclose the criminal investigation to investors in its U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission filings. On this news, AAC Holdings stock fell $12.90 per share, or over 39%, to close at $19.89 per share on August 4, 2015. As a result of the alleged fraud, shareholders have suffered millions in losses.
As a result of the foregoing news, on August 24, 2015, an AAC Holdings shareholder represented by another law firm filed a class action complaint against AAC Holdings for securities fraud. The complaint was filed in the United States District Court, Middle District of Tennessee, Case No. 3:15-cv-00923.
