About the Lawsuit

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On July 23, 2010, A&P issued a press release announcing its fiscal 2010 first quarter results and that the Company had launched a "turnaround," designed to strengthen A&P's operating and financial foundation. On August 13, 2010, A&P announced the closing of certain stores as part of the Company's operational and revenue-driven turnaround initiative, the purported Turnaround Strategy, designed to generate sustained profitability and cash flow, drive sales growth, restore competitive margins to the business and strengthen the foundation of the Company for the long term. Then on December 10, 2010, A&P shocked investors after revealing, for the first time, that the Company was performing so far below expectations and the purported Turnaround Strategy was failing so miserably that the Company would likely be forced to file for bankruptcy protection. In response to this announcement, the price of A&P securities declined precipitously.
