The Complaint charges Virgin Mobile and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Act of 1933. Virgin Mobile is a provider of wireless communications services, offering prepaid, or pay-as-you- go, services targeted at the youth market. More specifically, the Complaint alleges that, in connection with the Company's IPO, the defendants failed to disclose or indicate the following:
(1) that the Company had already suffered an enlarged financial loss for the third quarter of 2007;
(2) that the Company's expenses had significantly increased for the third quarter of 2007;
(3) that the Company's subscriber growth trends had dramatically slowed; (4) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company's Registration Statement was false and misleading at all relevant times.
