According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Alere’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Arriva Medical, LLC (“Arriva”), was submitting claims to Medicare for deceased patients; (2) the foregoing conduct subjected Arriva to revocation of its Medicare enrollment; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about Alere’s business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. On November 4, 2016, Alere revealed that Arriva’s Medicare enrollment will be revoked by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) based on CMS’ assertion that Arriva had allegedly submitted claims for 211 deceased patients over a five year period. On this news, shares of Alere fell $6.13 per share or over 14.5% from its previous closing price to close at $36.10 per share on November 4, 2016.
