The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Arbor Reality Trust, Inc. (ABR) Misled Investors Regarding its Operation and Financial Health

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants provided investors with false and/or materially misleading information concerning ABR’s operational and financial health, including its balance sheet loan book and net interest income. Plaintiff alleges that investors discovered that these statements were false and/or materially misleading over the course of several corrective disclosures. First, on March 14, 2023, NINGI Research published a report on ABR, claiming inter alia that “ABR has been hiding a toxic real estate portfolio of mobile homes with a complex web of real and fake holdings companies for more than a decade.” In response to the report, over several days ABR’s stock price fell from $12.99 per share on March 13, 2023 to $11.53 per share on March 15, 2023.

Next, on December 5, 2023, Viceroy published an in-depth study of ABR’s Jacksonville, FL properties declaring that in an “industry plagued with delusion and bad decisions, ABR stands out as the worst of the worst. Viceroy’s dive into ABR’s CLOs suggest its entire loan book is distressed and underlying collateral is vastly overstated.”

Finally, plaintiff alleges that on July 12, 2024, investor concerns stemming from the NINGI Report and Viceroy Report intensified when Bloomberg reported that ABR was “being probed by federal prosecutors and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York.” According to the news report, “[t]he investigators are inquiring about lending practices and the company’s claims about the performance of their loan book.” In response, ABR’s stock price declined from $15.53 per share on July 11, 2024 to $12.89 per share on July 12, 2024.
