According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants issued false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Flowers Foods was improperly classifying employees as independent contractors; (2) the misclassification exposed Flowers Foods to legal liability and/or negative regulatory action; (3) proper classification would have a negative impact on Flowers Foods’ operations; and (4) as a result, Flowers Foods’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
