READCourt Partially Rebukes Securities Suit Against Virgin Galactic SPAC Deal
On Monday, Judge Allyne Ross of the Eastern District of New York issued an opinion that granted in part and denied in part a motion to dismiss the complaint in a federal securities law class action brought against Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE), Richard Branson and other individual defendants.
Plaintiffs allege violations of Sections 10(b), 20(a) and 20(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Defendants’ motion addressed the sufficiency of the allegations in the Corrected Amended Complaint. In their 153 page pleading, plaintiffs allege that at the beginning of the class period (when Virgin Galactic went public), “Defendants claimed it [Virgin Galactic] was on the cusp of sending tourists to space.” In fact, according to plaintiffs, the program had tremendous safety problems. “When the truth emerged through unexplained flight program delay after unexplained delay, as well as several corrective disclosures, investors suffered tremendous losses.”
