According to the complaint, during the class period Defendants misled investors about Diplomat's success in integrating and growing its pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") business.

On February 22, 2019, Defendants' announced they delayed releasing 2018 financial results, expected to record PBM-related impairment charges totaling approximately $630 million, and withdrew preliminary 2019 full-year outlook provided in January 2019.

This news drove the price of Diplomat shares down $7.59, or down about 56%, to close at $5.87 that day.

On March 14, 2019 Diplomat's Chief Financial Officer resigned, driving the price of Diplomat shares down about 13.5%.

"We're focused on investors' losses, whether Defendants' statements about Diplomat's core PBM business may have misled investors, and circumstances surrounding the CFO's departure," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
