("MGP" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MGPI) between February 27, 2019, and February 25, 2020 (the "Class Period").

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (i) MGP had not completed any significant sales of its four-year-old aged-whiskey inventory; (ii) the Company had been unable to sell its aged whiskey at the price premium represented to investors; (iii) a glut of aged whiskey inventory and shifts in consumer behavior had lowered the value of the Company's aged whiskey inventory and materially impaired its ability to negotiate significant sales on favorable contract terms' and (iv) in light of the foregoing, the Company's FY19 financial forecast lacked a reasonable basis and was materially misleading.
On February 26, 2020, the Company announced its finalized fiscal year 2019 financial results, confirming its earlier pre-announcement that it had fallen "significantly short of… guidance" due to its failure to sell aged whiskey during the fourth quarter of 2019. Griffin revealed that aged whiskey sales had declined year over year and that the Company had failed to secure the contracts it had previously highlighted to investors. On this news, the price of MGP stock declined from a close of $31.80 per share on February 25, 2020 to a close of $28.42 per share on February 26, 2020.
