The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the Company's failure to disclose during the Class Period that demand for Fleetwood's manufactured houses and the big homes-on-wheels was rapidly declining from softening consumer demand due to high gasoline prices and the credit crisis, and that the resulting adverse effect on the Company's liquidity such that the Company was nearing insolvency and would have to file for bankruptcy protection and such that defendants had no reasonable basis for their positive statements regarding the Company's ability to control its deteriorating financial condition. According to the complaint, after the Company announced on March 10, 2009, that it had filed bankruptcy for itself and certain operating subsidiaries and that it was closing its travel trailer division, the value of Fleetwood's stock declined significantly.
