The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that (i) Aegean had improperly accounted for an approximate $200 million of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2017; (ii) Aegean failed to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ statements about Aegean’s business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On June 4, 2018, Aegean filed a Form 6-K announcing that “approximately $200 million of accounts receivable owed to the Company at December 31, 2017 will need to be written off.” Per the 6-K, certain “transactions that gave rise to the accounts receivable… may have been, in full or in part, without economic substance and improperly accounted for…”
