Specifically, the Flex Defendants failed to disclose: (i) that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were materially weak and deficient; (ii) that Flex had improperly accounted for obligations in a customer contract and certain related reserves; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, the financial statements of Flex and the Flex Defendants about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.

The complaint also alleges that as a result of the Flex Defendants’ wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the securities of Flex, Class members have suffered significant losses and damages.

Flex Shareholders and Investors

If you purchased, or otherwise acquired, Flex securities and have questions or concerns about the securities investigation or your potential legal rights, please contact John Kehoe, Esq., (215) 792-6676, Ext. 801, [email protected], complete the form above on the right or e-mail [email protected].

Investors who purchased Flex securities during the Class Period and suffered damages have until July 7, 2018 to file a motion with the Court to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. Please note that no class has been certified in the above action, and until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain an attorney of your choice. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member’s claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may serve together as “lead plaintiff.” Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff.
