According to the Complaint, Opus Bank made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: that some of the Company’s loans were of low quality; that Opus Bank was over-representing the quality of the loans to the public; that the Company failed to properly account for the loans in violation of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; that the Company would be forced to recognize large charge-offs associated with the loans; that Opus Bank lacked adequate internal controls over accounting and financial reporting; and that as a result of the above, the Company’s statements about its business, operations and prospects were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On October 17, 2016, the Company announced its earnings for the third quarter 2016 and disclosed that it recognized charge-offs on eight loan relationships through the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2016.
