The complaint alleges that, during the Class Period, defendants made
false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s employee stock
option grant practices and financial results. Defendants allegedly
caused or allowed MRV to issue statements that failed to disclose or
misstated the following: (i) that the Company had problems with its
internal controls that prevented it from issuing accurate financial
reports and projections; (ii) that because of improperly recorded
stock-based compensation expenses the Company’s financial results
violated GAAP; and (iii) that the Company’s public disclosures covering
a seven-year period presented an inflated view of MRV’s earnings and
earnings per share, which would later have to be restated. Upon this
news, the Company’s share price plummeted approximately 24%.
