According to the complaint, during the class period Defendants misled investors about Diplomat's success in integrating and growing its pharmacy benefit management ("PBM") business.
On February 22, 2019, Defendants' announced they delayed releasing 2018 financial results, expected to record PBM-related impairment charges totaling approximately $630 million, and withdrew preliminary 2019 full-year outlook provided in January 2019.

On March 14, 2019 Diplomat's Chief Financial Officer resigned, driving the price of Diplomat shares down about 13.5%.
