On February 17, 2022, Allianz announced that it had booked a provision with regards to “the pending court and governmental proceedings in the U.S. in relation to the Structured Alpha Funds” and had “[booked] a provision of 3.7 billion euros in the financial statements 2021” which “reduced the 2021 Group net income by 2.8 billion euros.”

On this news, Allianz’s stock price fell $0.98, or 3.8%, to close at $24.33 per share on March 18, 2022, thereby injuring investors.

Then, on May 17, 2022, Allianz pleaded guilty to securities fraud, admitting that it lacked internal controls and oversight for a series of private-investment funds and made false and misleading statements to investors. The Company agreed to pay $6 billion in penalties and restitution.

On this news, Allianz’s stock price fell $0.57, or 2.6%, to close at $20.80 per share on May 18, 2022, thereby injuring investors further.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Allianz did not have effective internal controls; (2) Allianz’s subsidiary was involved in substantial fraudulent activity; (3) as a result, Allianz was at an increased risk of regulatory scrutiny; (4) as a result, Allianz was at an increased risk of substantial losses and financial costs; and (5) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
