The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants issued false and misleading statements and covered a scheme to defraud investors in the Offerings regarding Volkswagen's business and financial operations. Defendants caused its Offerings to trade at artificially inflated prices by failing to disclose that Volkswagen used a "defeat device" in some of its diesel cars that made the tested cars temporarily reduce its emissions. Untested cars were achieving higher performance and fuel economy and were discharging dramatically higher emissions. The Complaint also alleges that Defendants made misrepresentations and omissions in its public statements and in its offering memoranda regarding the over $8 billion of Offerings on May 23, 2014, November 20, 2014, and May 22, 2015. Through this series of revelations and Volkswagen's admissions, the Offerings have declined from an average of 99.854% par value on September 18, 2015 to an average of 95.624% par value on September 22, 2015, representing a decline of over $300 million.
