The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all those who purchased Brixmor securities between October 27, 2014 and February 5, 2016 (the "Class Period").

The lawsuit focuses on whether Brixmor and its executives violated federal securities laws by allegedly making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the Company and its senior executives manipulated income items for nine quarters to achieve consistent quarterly same property net operating income ("NOI") growth; (2) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (3) that, as a result, statements about Brixmor's business, operations, and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that on February 8, 2016, Brixmor disclosed that the Company and certain high level executives had engaged in a scheme whereby they were "smoothing" the Company's NOI numbers to achieve consistent quarterly same property NOI growth.
