On March 1, 2018, Microchip announced that it would acquire Microsemi Corporation ("Microsemi") for $8.35 billion.
According to the lawsuit, Microchip promised investors hundreds of millions of dollars in synergies from the combination of Microchip and Microsemi. During the Class Period, Microchip represented that the Microsemi acquisition would be "immediately accretive" by increasing Microchip's earnings per share as it "will add further operational and customer scale to Microchip." Microchip's CEO Steven Sanghi represented that the "deal is accretive on day one without doing anything, without any synergy," and was "strategically and financially, a very compelling transaction."
However, just months later, on August 9, 2018, Microchip disclosed that the Company was "adversely impacted by $226.9 million of Microsemi purchase accounting, restructuring and other charges," and that Microsemi "was extremely aggressive in shipping inventory into the distribution channel" which "will provide some headwind for revenue for the next couple of quarters" for Microchip.
On this news, Microchip stock fell $10.67 per share, or over 10%, from its previous closing price to close at $87.41 per share on August 10, 2018, damaging investors.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn't require that you serve as lead plaintiff.
