During the class period, defendants issued a series of materially false
and misleading statements that misrepresented and failed to disclose:
(i) that the NexCen Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) was able to finance a
portion of the Great American Cookies acquisition by agreeing to an
accelerated-redemption feature, which would force the Company to pay
back half of its borrowing by a certain date; (ii) that the Company was
unable to comply with this accelerated-redemption feature, which would
reduce the amount of cash available to the Company; (iii) that the
Company had no reasonable basis for its earnings guidance for fiscal
2008; and (iv) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern was in serious doubt.
Then, on May 19, 2008, the Company announced that it “expects to amend
the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007.” The Company also stated that its prior financial
guidance for 2008 “is no longer applicable.” Moreover, the Company
revealed that it “is actively exploring all strategic alternatives to
enhance its liquidity, including potential capital market transactions,
the possible sale of one or more of its businesses, and discussions
with the company’s lender.”
Upon this news, shares of the Company’s stock fell $1.95 per share, or
77%, to close at $0.58 per share, on heavy trading volume.
