The investigation concerns a securities class action lawsuit commenced in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The complaint alleges that the Defendants made false and misleading statements including failing to disclose material facts about tax compliance at Primero Mining's Mexican subsidiary. As a result, the Defendants public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. Following the disclosure that the Mexican tax authorities were seeking to nullify the Advanced Pricing Agreement issued by SAT, shares of Primero Mining stock declined significantly.
