CASE ALLEGATIONS : The complaint alleges the offering materials for the Merger and related oral communications contained materially false and misleading statements and omissions concerning Orthofix's effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting and ethical compliance. The complaint alleges that, in truth, at the time of the Merger, Orthofix lacked adequate internal controls and its compliance and training programs and protocols were grossly deficient, resulting in: lax vetting of incoming executive hires; senior management and directors engaging in rampant harassment and other inappropriate misconduct in violation of the Company's purported ethical and professional standards; prioritization of personal and financial incentives over ensuring that Orthofix and its management complied with applicable laws, regulations, and contracts; and the Company's failure to ensure that its SEC filings and public disclosures were free of material misstatements.
