The plaintiff alleges that certain directors at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. sold almost $80million worth of their shares at prices allegedly inflated by certain improper statements.
Specifically, the plaintiff claims that in February 2012, certain defendants issued improper statements affirming that Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. would meet its ambitious revenue and earning guidance for the fiscal year 2012, while in reality those defendants allegedly knew or recklessly disregarded that it was unlikely that Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. would meet these numbers, as demand for the company’s products had slowed and inventory was building.
