Case Allegations: The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational, and compliance policies. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (a) Active Network, LLC (“Active Network”) allegedly used deceptive and abusive acts and practices to dupe its customers into enrolling in Active Network’s discount club; (b) since July 2011, Active Network, and by extension, Global Payments, was allegedly aware of such unauthorized conduct and that it was allegedly violating relevant regulations and laws aimed at protecting its consumers; (c) since 2011, Global Payments allegedly failed to properly monitor its subsidiary from engaging in such unlawful conduct, detect and stop the misconduct, and identify and remediate harmed consumers; (d) all the foregoing allegedly subjected the Company to a foreseeable risk of heightened regulatory scrutiny or investigation; (e) Global Payments’ revenues were in part the product of Active Network’s alleged unlawful conduct and thus unsustainable; and (f) as a result, the Company’s public statements are alleged to have been materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
