ATI Physical Therapy, Inc. (ATIP) is Accused of Making Misleading Statements Regarding its Business, Operations, and Prospects

A class action was filed on behalf of purchasers of ATI securities between April 1, 2021 and July 23, 2021, and purchasers who held FVAC Class A common stock as of May 24, 2021 and were eligible to vote at FVAC's June 15, 2021 special meeting. FVAC was a special purpose acquisition company that went public in August 2020. On June 17, 2021, ATI became public via a business combination with FVAC.

According to the complaint, during the relevant period, the Company stated it was "focused on accelerating hiring to serve outsized demand," noting it was the "Employer of Choice for PT Clinicians" and touted its staffing strategy, claiming that it would achieve "significant labor savings through more productive staffing model."

On July 26, 2021, ATI reported its financial results for second quarter 2021, the period in which the business combination was complete. ATI reported that “the acceleration of attrition among [its] therapists in the second quarter and continuing into the third quarter, combined with the intensifying competition for clinicians in the labor market, prevented us from being able to meet the demand we have and increased our labor costs.” Though ATI was implementing certain remedial actions, the Company reduced its fiscal 2021 forecast due to the foregoing factors. On this news, the Company's share price fell $3.62, or 43%, to close at $4.72 per share on July 26, 2021, and declined an additional 19% the next trading session. The stock has not recovered and now trades below $3.00.
