The lawsuit alleges that Walgreens made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts pertaining to the Company’s business and prospects, including the purported benefits of Walgreens’ strategic partnership with Alliance Boots GmbH. Specifically, the Company publicly announced goals for fiscal year 2016 of $1 billion in combined synergies and $9 to $9.5 billion in adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) for the combined entity, but concealed a earnings shortfall of $1.8 to $2.3 billion for fiscal year 2016 and the reasons for the shortfall from the investing public.

On August 4, 2014, the Company announced that its CFO Wade Miquelon would be resigning. Then, on August 6, 2014, the Company lowered the fiscal year 2016 EBIT target to $7.2 billion, $1.8 billion below the low-end and $2.3 billion below the high-end of the range that they had previously announced to investors. On this news, shares of Walgreens fell sharply, falling from $69.12 per share on August 5, 2014 to close at $59.21 per share on August 6, 2014, damaging investors.
