According to the Complaint, throughout the Class Period, Signet issued false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that alleged sexual harassment by employees of Signet’s Sterling Family of Jewelers division (“Sterling”), including numerous incidents of sexual assault and rape which were detailed in approximately 249 declarations signed under penalty of perjury by current and former Sterling employees, made it unlikely that Signet would be able to avoid paying a sizable amount of damages in connection with a class action lawsuit filed by Sterling employees. Signet’s stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period as a result of this information being withheld from the market.
On February 27, 2017, The Washington Post published a report revealing widespread allegations of sexual harassment made in the private arbitration that implicated the Company’s senior managers and executives. When this information was released, the stock price of Signet fell.
