The Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, AmTrust violated federal securities laws. On February 27, 2017, AmTrust revealed that it "identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting that existed as of December 31, 2016, specifically related to ineffective assessment of the risks associated with the financial reporting, and an insufficient complement of corporate accounting and corporate financial reporting resources within the organization." On March 16, 2017, the Company reported that its previously issued consolidated financial statements for 2014 and 2015 (including for each of the four quarters of 2015) as well as for the first three quarters of 2016 should be restated and should no longer be relied upon. When this information reached the public, AmTrust's stock price dropped materially, which harmed investors according to the Complaint.
