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, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Deutsche Bank’s internal control environment and infrastructure were materially weak and deficient; and (ii) as a result, Deutsche Bank’s statements about the Company’s business and operations were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On May 31, 2018, the Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Federal Reserve has designated Deutsche Bank’s U.S. business to be in “troubled condition,” citing concerns “about its controls around measuring financial exposure to clients and valuing collateral that backed loans.”  The article further reported that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has added Deutsche Bank’s subsidiary Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas to its “problem banks” list of at-risk institutions.  

On this news, Deutsche Bank’s share price fell $0.49, or 4.24%, to close at $11.08 on May 31, 2018.
