About the Lawsuit

According to the lawsuit, “[i]n October 2022, Credit Suisse began experiencing a sharp increase in customer outflows, or withdrawals of client funds, after a series of quarterly losses and risk and compliance failures significantly decreased the Company’s American Depositary Share (‘ADS’) price.”

The complaint further alleges that “[o]n December 1, 2022, Credit Suisse’s Chairman, Defendant Axel P. Lehmann (‘Lehmann’) stated in an interview with Financial Times that customer outflows had not only ‘completely flattened out,’ but had, in fact, ‘partially reversed.’”

The complaint further alleges that “[o]n February 9, 2023, Credit Suisse issued a press release announcing its 2022 financial results. The press release revealed that, contrary to Defendant Lehmann’s prior statements, large customer outflows had continued through year-end 2022,” and then, “on February 21, 2023, Reuters reported that the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (‘FINMA’), was reviewing Defendant Lehmann’s previous comments regarding customer outflows.”

The complaint further alleges that “[a]s a result of Defendants’ wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the Company’s securities, Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered significant losses and damages.”
