The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company's book business in United States was underperforming; (2) that, as a result, the Company was likely to divest its book business; (3) that the Company was unreasonably vulnerable to decreases in market prices; (4) that, to remain financially flexible while market prices decreased, the Company was likely to cut its quarterly dividend and expand its cost reduction programs; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On October 29, 2019, Quad/Graphics revealed that the Company cut its dividend in half to $0.15 per share. Quad/Graphics announced plans to divest its book business and updated its guidance to reflect the divestiture of its book business that the Company said generates $200 million in annual sales. Quad/Graphics' net sales guidance for 2019 was thus reduced to "approximately $3.9 billion" from the previous range of "$4.05 billion to $4.25 billion."

On this news, the Company's share price fell $6.42 per share, or nearly 57%, to close at $4.85 per share on October 30, 2019, on unusually high trading volume.
