Agnico-Eagle Allegedly Made False and Misleading Statements Concerning Their Business and Operations
A shareholders class action lawsuit was commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, Agnico-Eagle failed to disclose that Goldex Mine, one of the Company’s most important sources of revenue, was experiencing significant structural problems that would eventually require the closing of the mine in October 2011. The Complaint further alleges that the Company failed to disclose the truth regarding Agnico-Eagle’s financial condition. It is further alleged that Agnico-Eagle engaged in fraudulent and deceptive accounting practices. As a result of the false and misleading statements, the Company lacked a reasonable basis for their positive statements about their business, operations, and prospects.
Agnico-Eagle’s Securities Traded At Artificially Inflated Prices During the Class Period As A Result of the False and Misleading Information
On October 19, 2011, Agnico-Eagle issued a press release announcing that, effective immediately, it was suspending its mining operations and gold production at its Goldex mine in Val d’Or, Quebec. In response to this news, Agnico-Eagle’s shares fell 18.5%, to close at $46.51 per share on October 19, 2011, on a very heavy trading volume.
