The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Flowers Foods issued false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: the Company was improperly classifying employees as independent contractors; that the misclassification exposed Flowers Foods to legal liability and/or negative regulatory action; that proper classification would have a negative impact on Flowers Foods' operations; and that as a result of the above, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

On August 10, 2016, the Company announced that the U.S. Department of Labor scheduled a compliance review of Flowers Foods under the Fair Labor Standards Act. After the market closed that day, the Company issued a press release announcing disappointing Q2 2016 financial results. When this news went public, Flowers Foods' stock price lowered, which caused investors harm.

This press release may be considered Attorney Advertising in some jurisdictions under the applicable law and ethical rules.
