According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Vitamin Shoppe’s retail segment was continuing to dramatically decline; (2) its ongoing “reinvention plan” had been unsuccessful and brought more than $168 million in goodwill impairment and (3) Vitamin Shoppe was not properly recognizing that impairment charge; and (4) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
